Krishna- Bejeweled Artwork

Hello.....
Here, I have a Bejeweled Art done on Krishna....the most loved Indian god....
This type of art is also known as "Shringar Art" in India.....
"Shringar" literally means "Make- up and Jewelry Adornment".
I have used a 16 x 20 Poster print of Krishna and used mixed media for this artwork....
I have individually stuck each and every bead and rhinestone with my own hands....
The "Murli" or the "Flute" is hand- moulded too......
The peacock feather on the crown is real too.....
This is completely a 3D artwork....

This is how, the Framed Artwork looks......

Shringar Artwork- Krishna

It took me a month (3 hrs/day) to finish this artwork......
It was a painstaking job, but the hard work did finally pay.....
The final result blew my brains away.....
It was beyond my own expectations.......
I was making this artwork for my sister's house-warming.....
She loved it so much that it is now, the Focal Wall art in 
her Living room feature wall.....

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 :)

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.......

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.....
You can view the painting here......
