Oil on Canvas

This is a reproduction of Georgia O'Keeffe 's The White Trumpet Flower. The medium is Oil on canvas. I did this way back in 2001 and gifted it to my sister Vasu when i visited her place. Since I painted it long back, I realise that I could have painted it better now! :-) but hey every one learns from their mistakes right?????

NOTE: Priyanka , Easycrafts and Priti have passed me the award "Blogging friends forever". Thank you so much girls. Its been a great pleasure knowing you all!

Decoupage

What do you do when the cornflakes box that you bought sometime ago is empty? Throw them????...hmmmmm…..Think about it….You can simply transform them to great storage boxes by just using your imagination….This one I decorated it sometime back and now it’s a place for bills and posts that come home! This way all your bills and letters are organized. Check the box fifteen days once to throw out papers that are not required so that your home is clutter free! It’s not only decoupage that you can do…but simply by sticking colorful papers you can change the whole look!

Ear hangings that I made for my sisters

I love to make my own jewellery but not always one gets the time for everything! But these were special that i made a few months back. I mixed beads from India and from US to make these simple hangings!

Mehendi cards for my sister's wedding!

I and my cousin made these Invitation cards for her Mehendi day. The color of the cards are carefully chosen to give it a bright and vibrant look to the cards and the day as well. Yup! these are the colors the guests will try to match their attire too!

I thought of these wooden block motifs to give it a very ethnic look. Printing them in silver , copper and gold colors completes the whole ethnic theme we have thought of!

Little accessories like sequinned flowers, satin ribbons(which my cousin suggested by the way...and I thought they are beautiful) and fevicryl outliners were used to highlight the motifs. We could have printed the matter but we thought it would be very nice to pen down the matter by ourselves. Adds a personal touch! So there you go, we made about 50 cards in 2 days flat!

Blogging with a purpose Award!

Thank you priyanka for considering me worthy of this award!
