Handcrafted Tulips

Hi Friends,

   Here is my latest work, Tulips made out of Thai clay. I have read about Tulip gardens of Netherlands in a magazine recently. The photographs in that magazine inspired me so much that I thought of trying some flowers using Thai air dry clay, which is very flexible and durable. Also it's an ideal one for sculpting flower and to captivate the realistic beauty.

  Usually Tulip blooms during the spring, but these handcrafted flowers can decorate your place throughout the year with least maintenance. You can just use a dry soft brush to dust off.

  I have created a new category for 'Clay Flowers' in my blog, so you can expect more in the coming days :)

  Thanks for visiting my blog, have a nice day :)

Radha Krishna - Mural

Hello Friends,

  Wishing you a very happy Krishna Janmashtami in advance... as I will be out of town for few days, am updating my blog today itself and I'm very happy to share my latest mural with you all :) 

  I was planning to work on Lord Krishna for a while so I spent some time on Google for the references, but nothing impressed me at all.. finally tried my own concept which gave importance to both mural and painting ...but Coloring was a difficult task considering lot of details involved here.Somehow I managed to meet my expectation and hope I gave justice to it.

    I must say that I gained loads of confidence and satisfaction from this work and got full marks from my best critic - my husband :) I would like to hear your opinion as well.  

Size : 2 *2.5 ft 

    When I shared the initial pics with a so called mural expert,  he forced me to stop the work without giving any useful suggestion because he felt it is a very difficult one for a beginner like me. He indicated that I am wasting my time and money. I took his negative words as a challenge and probably worked even harder. So I should thank him for this work ;) ...

    On a serious note, I have learnt through this work that  - “Never let anyone convince you of anything negative about yourself unless it is for your own betterment.”

    Here are some more pics taken in mobile from the initial phases of this work. 

     

Many people just go through the pictures in the blog, but you have read it till the end, thanks a lot :)... Have a wonderful day.

Beaded Flowers

Hello friends,

Here is one of my old crafts, beaded flowers and a vase... thought of sharing with you all. I have used tiny round seed beads of different colors here and beaded with 0.3 mm metallic wire. 

I made this during one of my college vacations and I felt bad at that time because it consumed half of my vacation... but the result was a brilliant and bold cluster of flowers and even more vibrant vase. The best part is, it lasts for so long and looks so fresh even today. 

Nowadays we get so many tutorials, patterns and references for beading crafts but that time I had nothing like that... apart from some observations here and there and pure imagination :)

Thank you for stopping by and hope you liked it. Have a nice day.

Reflections in Water

Hi Friends,

  Its been a while since I posted last time. I had a hectic schedule in last 45 days or so, where I had to finish few orders, paper boxes, clay flowers and one of them was the bigger version of a painting I had, the first image below. While working on that, I realized that I never uploaded them here and its time to do that :)

  

  Its a simple composition showing trees reflected in the water, with rich colors hug the bank. I was going through some of the landscapes by Graham Gerken and got so much inspired that I immediately started working on that. Here I have used acrylics on Canvas Board of size 18 * 15 inches and  both are neatly framed.

Have a gr8 day, bye.
