Rangoli

These are some latest rangolis made by me during last diwali festivals.
This pattern is known as Sanskar rangoli, and is created by white color on a colorful base.



And this one is made by my younger sis. This is based on the view of majestic "Bhedaghat" in our hometown where Narmada river flows in the middle of marble rocks. It is one of the top most tourist attractions of MP.
My sister specializes in  landscape paintings and Bhedaghat paintings. Will upload her more collection soon.


Thanks for taking a look...

About me

Hello Friends,
We are a mother daughter duo with mother having 20+ years of experience in the field of art and craft (along with Ph.D in Zoology, & authorized fevicryl Hobby teacher since last 8 years). And daughter [i.e. me :-)] is the perfect example of "darkness under the lamp", as I have spent my entire childhood in a typical study-play-sleep-eat pattern with hardly 1% of talent that my mom has. Now I am a working professional and mother of a two and a half year old cute little boy.

As it is said that "better to be late than never", so here I am joining the track again, trying to make full advantage of the time that I have now. Well we recently got introduced to the world of blogging and unlimited knowledge it offers. So unable to stop ourselves for long...here we are to learn about new things and share our own ventures.

News Paper Bag

One of the very beautiful use of old newspapers. I got inspiration for this from   newspaper-bag.
I changed the final one with handles, however basic technique is same.



Thanks for stopping by...

Handmade rakhis

These are some of my handmade rakhis.
This is one of the craft that we started doing as kids....This year it was bit different...as I made them all alone..:-(
It was bit nostalgic...and fun at the same time...creating rakhis after so many years...!!




old newspaper's basket

I got an inspiration to create this basket from internet. step be step tutorial is available here

Take a look at my creation. I added a red satin ribbon at top, I feel it goes well with newspaper.
Some more finishing is needed, though not bad as first attempt...!!!
