This and That !!!

Today, I was just browsing through my old photos.....and look what I found!!!!

I didn't even remember I had these photos!!!!!

These are some things I made quite some time back.....

I had totally forgotten about them.....I was just uploading what 

I was making recently......

I think I should keep digging into my old photos often.....

The reason I put all these photos together because, I did not have the 

'in- progress' pictures.....

Here are some things I made......

Look, Enjoy and have Fun!!!!

This is a coffee table I decorated for my sons 3rd birthday....We cut a

cake on this table :)

Decorated Coffee Table

This is how I used candles on the cake (Cake Topper) for the same birthday......

Yes, It was a Spiderman theme.......

I just use one of my sons toy figurine in front of the candles......

My son loved it!!!!

Cake Topper

This is made on a refrigerator door using a Sticker Making Kit from 

Fevicryl (India)...I think this product is discontinued now......

I made this about 6 years back, and it still looks like new :)

Sticker Art

This was the First Floral Arrangement I did during a festival at home....
It turned out to be gorgeous........I had never thought I could do this....

Floral Arrangement

This is a glass votive holder I had made using glass colors......

This is a vertical Note-Pad that I made.....

It is covered with textured paper and I have made a freehand design of 

a necklace on it.....The photo is not so good, as my camera was really 

not a good one :(

Decorative Note- Pad

This is a pot lamp I made during Diwali a few years back.....

Usually, its filled with wax and turned into a candle, but I preferred to 

keep it empty and as a show piece at that time.......

Pot Candle

These are a few clips and a ring I made using floral wire and nylon stockings.....

I gifted them to my little girl-friends :)

Stocking Flowers

This is a vase I painted....I had to show a sample for an order and I used this 

vase.....I gave the vase a silver base coat and then I painted 3 different motifs 

on the same vase.....

This is a Madhubani border on the vase......

DIY Butterfly Wall Hanging

Hello there......

With the harsh winter forcing us to coop up in our houses, I guess the creative energy kinda takes 

over.....That goes for me....hope it does for you too :)

Today I made this Butterfly Wall Hanging......

You must be thinking why I keep making butterflies all the time ???

Well, what can I say???.....Butterflies are one of my favorites!!!!

DIY Butterfly Wall Hanging

Anyhow, I used these wooden butterfly cut-outs.....You can find them easily 

at any Craft store.......They were pretty smooth, so I didn't sand them.....

And also, I wanted that slightly grainy look on the butterfly's wings.......

Wooden Butterfly Cut- outs

Then, I painted a pair of blue butterflies, as shown below......

Yup, Blue is my favorite color......It is very dominant in most of my works......

Painted Blue Butterfly

When the butterflies were nice and dry, I assembled together the things that 

I would require to make this Wall hanging.......

Shown in the picture are:

• Pair of Painted Blue Butterflies
• Medium and small circle mirrors
• Green Ribbon
• Key Ring and
• Glue gun

Materials Required

I used the glue gun to fix the butterflies, mirrors and the key ring on the ribbon......

The final assembly looked like this......

Wall Hanging

I thought it needed something more ......just a wee bit more, to make it perfect......

So, I used my favorite stuff....3D outliner (Puffy paint)........

I put tiny dots of blue along the edge of the mirrors......and that just did it!!!

Here's how the wall hanging looks on the wall, next to my 'Blossom Branch' Painting.....

Canvas Painting - Twisters

Hello there.....

I am back after a certain gap....A lot of things kept me busy for quite some time....

I was making some or the other thing, but just wasn't finding the time to put anything

up on the blog.......Thanks for coming to check though :)

Today, I have put up pictures of these three mini canvas paintings I made recently.....

I call them 'Twisters'.......

The name kinda says it all here.....

Twisters

I have used 3 canvases of 6' X 6' each......
Here are the individual close-ups.......
As you can see here, the striations are raised, thus giving the painting its unique texture.....

The photos don't really do much justice to this beautiful raised effect though....

DIY Kids Nursery Wall Art

Hi.....

I am a newbie to the "blog" world, having entered the scene only a few months back,

and still learning......

But, I am not new to making something beautiful.....

This applies to my crafts, but also to my little angel whom I "made" almost 6 years back..... :)

I was just browsing through his baby photos when I came accross this one....

How time flies!!!....I had even forgotten about this.....as the room looks so different after the renovations we did few years back....

Anyways, I wanted my son to enjoy his early life looking at something pretty....

Don't all moms think so???

Well, I decided to do something that would not take much time...you know how a newborn keeps the mommy on her toes!!!

I soooo wanted to paint the wall :(

But, the time crunch made me use another option.....paper decoupage!!!

With help(lots!!!)  from my little sister, I was able to finish this in two days..

( the two hour nap break, once a day :O)

My sister and I drew free- hand  figures of  Pooh, Tigger and Piglet on florescent paper to make them look more brighter and vibrant.....

Surprisingly, Piglet was the toughest to draw....I just couldn't get his "Happy Face" right

 :(  .....But, persistence always pays and finally I got Piglet as I've always known him...happy and adorable :) He still is my favorite ........

Kids Nursery Wall Art

We cut the figures across their outlines and finished them with some poster colors 

and a black marker.....

I also folded a long strip ( made by joining a few smaller strips) of green paper and cut it to look like grass.....Some leftover paper from Piglet, got transformed into a few gorgeous flowers.....

I wanted the trio to look as if they were playing in a garden.....but that scene somehow looked a bit empty.....

Then, I thought of giving them some balloons to play, to fill up the area.....

Suddenly, an idea struck.....Why not make this a picture wall???

We first glued the grass and then glued Pooh, Tigger and Piglet.....

After that, we glued down the flowers, the balloon strings and the balloons.....

The bright balloons became the base for the baby pictures.....

We glued the baby pictures and then, put a fancy printed fabric border around them.....

My nursery mural was now complete....

My baby couldn't take his eyes off the wall for a long time.....

That told me- Mission Accomplished !!!!

There we were....a happy mom and a very happy baby.....

I have blurred the pictures for privacy reasons.....Sorry about that!!!

Hope you enjoyed the post.....I had fun going back to those memories again......

Have fun and thanks for visiting :)
