Shifted to WP! :)

so many of my blogger friends (especially RJ and Reems)* left me on blogger and shifted to WP. I didn’t have choice, so came here after them…

Keep visiting me here!

*pardon me RJ and Reems for not linking you guys, as it will take me sometime to get used to WP!

Flowery tumbler!

This Decoupage I did with dried flowers and applied on glass with special liquid so that the glass can be used and washed with cold water and liquid soap. Yes, guys I can actually use this glass.

Sunset

One day I would like to paint the natural play of colours on canvas! One day…

Sidi Saiyyad ni Jaali

View from outside the mosque

Note the intricate carving of the “jaali”. This “jaali” has become the face of Ahmedabad. Looks so inviting! There are many such carved frames still present at this mosque (Sidi Saiyyad Mosque) but many of them were removed by Britishers and taken to England during their rule.

View from inside the mosque

I do not have words to describe the scene. The light penetrating the craved work looks awesome!

Table Napkin

I made this one using single layer of tissue paper, cutting it with a free hand and with fabric decoupage materials applied it on the table napkin. I was not sure how the end result will be. But loved what I saw.

Adalaj Step Well!

This is an old step well just at the outskirts of Ahmedabad at Adalaj Village, Gujarat (India).

The approach road to this step well is as good as a village road in India is expected to be! But the monument is worth the trip. The stale and stagnant water smell is always there but the dampness also gives the place a cool feeling. Check out the intricate carving. I have been to this place a lot many times, but it has never stopped amazing me. I wish Govt. of India would take care of its heritage like the other developed countries do. Or one day the future generation will not be able to see such magnificent workmanship.

Windmill

Front view

Ariel view

This windmill actually rotates. I bought the craft project for my daughter. But the foldings were a bit intricate for her and she asked me to help. Ultimately, it so happened that she ran away with her friends to play and I completed the project. Loved making it. Never noticed that I was doing alone.

Pen stand

A penstand made from clay and then coloured with acrylic metalic colours. My daughter loved making this. She likes the gooey feeling of the clay.
