Collage on Oil

This is a small collage I did yesterday morning and I am pretty happy with the results. It's a small piece 8" x 6" . I had some musical note papers from the decoupage I made last year. It blends so well with the colors used on the canvas board.

Prayer Room

HURRAY!!!!!!!!Cannot believe how time flies by!! Its one year since i started my art blog KAI KRIYE!

This is the prayer room in my home. I still have to work on the lighting...but as of now I love the overall look.

Portrait (My Co-Sister Jo)

This is a Graphite Pencil Portrait of my Co sis. I referred to an old photograph of hers. I will try and put the reference photo if its possible.

Pot painting

I recently moved in to my new home...and still doing up the interiors. This is one such corner of my home....I wanted an egyptian theme at the entrance. Luckily one of my neighbours gifted me two egyptian paintings. To go with the theme I painted this huge pot in blue. My sister Vasu (She has a new blog called Cherishing Spaces) is an interior designer has a lovely collection of books on interiors. Lucky me I found a beautiful book on Egyptian people called "Life in the land of Pharoahs". It helped me a lot as I found a lot of scriptures that the egyptians used which is called as Hieroglyphs . They devised a system of picture writing whiçh is the most decorative scripts ever devised.

The egyptians were also very good in jewellry making. The one that you see on the pot is one such beaded collar or wesekh. Isnt ít lovely? I just mixed both the hieroglyphs and the jewellry just to get a feel of egypt in the foyer.

Whats missing here in the picture....some egyptian figurines....some day should be able to add them!

Invitation Card

I made this Invitation card for House Warming Ceremony ("GrihaPravesha" in Kannada). When its a limited number of people, its always nice to make on your own. So I just bought a few sheets of nice and thick paper, got them cut according to size desired at a local printing press, bought beautiful dried peepal leaves from a craft market near by and stuck them. I typed the wording of the invitation card at home and got them printed. Thats it ! I just loved the combination of green and cream with the beautiful green leaves. Thanks R, my cousin for helping me finish them.

Orchids with Prismas!
