Thing a Day 7
Art work made out of junk mail.
And incase you are wondering why do I always use the flower punch, well its the only punch I own.
Also I am happy with my camera now, all I had to do was take a q-tip and clean the lenses.
Thing a day - 5
Recycled notepad, with cover
I have to say I don't suffer from doodling, but I enjoy every minute of it. There are times when I feel that my hand is possessed, and it just does not stop. After doodling some important notes, diaries and some official reports I decided to make a notepad dedicated to doodling.
This notepad is glued together. Though nothing beats the romance of hand sewing a beautiful notebook, but time and my energy was a constrain.
This sits in this card broad cover. Its not glued or anything. So when I am done with this one, I will keep the cover and just make another notepad.
Did I mention the paper I have used here is, actually a victim of accidental hit of "Print" button, and by the time I hit "Cancel" the printer would have spit out a couple of pages. Yeah I have been collecting such victims for a while.So basically the paper has one plain side.(I call it liquid) .The only thing I made sure that the paper does not contain sensitive/confidential information.

On a side note, when I view my a/c in posterous, it only shows two posts for day 1 & 3, I have lost my other three posts. What's going on..? Any help/suggestion will be appreciated.
Thing a Day-4
Recycled magazine coasters
You can find an awesome tutorial to make these here.
Ever since I came across this tutorial, I wanted to make these. For me the most compelling projects are those which need no new raw materials, in short I loove recycling projects.
I guess these turned out pretty well, and while I was making these, I saw the movie "The Ugly Truth"...umm it was alright.
So far I have made a couple, I guess I will make at least 4 more.
Thing a Day - 3
So this time its a tissue paper box turned into a plastic bag dispenser.
Its a cleaver idea, which was NOT originally thought by me. I just goggled it around, and tried it.
Though I genuinely try to carry a tote bag, while I am doing grocery, but then there are times I forget :|
Though it did not turn out like I wanted it to, the whole thing was done is a hurry, but still serves its purpose. It will help me so much to control the mess around the house.
Also the quote written on it is picked up from a t-shirt or some tote bag. I just wrote it, because I really like it.

Thing a Day-2
(Please excuse poor photography)
The thing I love about ATC (Artist Trading Cards) is the small area to play with. , I would call them short cut to happiness. And when I am looking for a shorter-short cut, I go for inchies :)
The third card, right from second row, somehow reminded of Spong Bob. Those flowers and the blue color it was not intentional. May be it had something to do with the back to back episodes of Spong Bob I saw the other day.
And the thing with flower punch is, once I start using it, I cannot stop. I go around punching any thing and everything. I stopped whan I was about to punch an unpaid bill. (That's right people we still get paper bill :(
Thing a Day-1
Thing a Day-1
This spoon is actually a bisqueware that I made a while back and since then it has been begging for attention.
I guess it will be used specifically for decoration purpose in the kitchen. It actually symbolizes the unity of all my worlds...
It brings cooking, art and craft, recycling (I have decoupage the spoon using junk mail) and umm home decor (may be).
Also there is another snap shot of the spoon, with my lovely gloves.
And a shot of rest of the bisqueware of this set. I plan to do similar stuff to the rest of the lot.
Two is a company
If two is a company, three is a crowd, then what is four...I'd say beginning of a party :-)
No points for guessing my evening plans.
I made this one a while ago, but did not get a chance to post it.
I am struggling with "free-ing " myself. I mean, I don't let myself loose when I am painting. Specially I want to achieve this effect with backgrounds. I guess I need to do more practice...
Just having a regular Friday...I am not sure if I will be working tomorrow. (yes I have been working over the weekends.!)
Updates from "Denial" land
The word "denial" describes me best at the moment.
Really I am not able to handle things around me and all I have done to solve it so far is - have learned to ignore it.
Not good I tell you...
Ever since I am back from India...I have had 1 weekend of rest (jet lag) and since then its one thing after another. I was horrible ill for a while. And then its been mostly work which has been very very hectic lately. And without wasting any time the good thing was I got back to my working out routine, last week. The result was I got even more tired. In the past two week, I had hardly done any cooking .. forget about house cleaning...oh gosh...and its really really hard to live life with so much mess around. I have also been working over the weekends, and I think it really took its toll.
Today finally my friend P actually come home to help me with my house work...!!! can u believe it...!! Also for a change Enn had started taking care of the house because even he could not handle the mess around. (imagine!!)
So when I came back, the very day I saw a package waiting for me, those were lovely holiday wishes from wonderful and generous Gloria... I do not have my camera charged (the charger is misplaced), so I will upload the pictures later.
She sent me an awesome hand made ornament, a print of the painting she made of "Van Gogh's Mother." wait there's more...she also sent an original-exclusive-hand painted -one of a kind- bracelet...!!!!! wowooo
I am soo grateful and obliged and thankful...I cannot express it.
I a really lucky to have such a thoughtful and generous blogger friend.
Thank you very much Gloria....your gifts are appreciated from the bottom of my heart.
Since I ams soo much off my routine, I have a plan... :) (wicked smile...)
I have registered myself at http://thing-a-day.com/ .Its a yearly creative sprint where participants commit to creating one new thing a day for the month of February and post it on a collective blog. 2010 is thing-a-day's fourth edition .
From what I just found out and understand, when you register, you have to create a Posterous account. and then can link your Blog to it. So when I upload anything on this Posterous a/c, it will updated on Think-A -Day as well as my blog. I an not sure if I understood correctly, I will have to try it and find out.
So I will be gearing up in February . (Let's see... I have stopped trusting myself)
On a side note....I have again joined my pottery studio class, and have also joined a knitting class. Its for beginners . I have not planned what projects I plan to make in pottery / knitting.
I also have to catch up with my blogger friends, read updates at their end..ohh I am curious... :)
