Jai Shree Krishna

Hello,
Its been a long time I have not updated the blog.
What an auspicious occasion to move a step ahead with my blog... Janmashtami, is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Krishna, an avatar of the god Vishnu. A Parchment Craft wall frame of Lord Krishna and Radha <\p>

Japanese Fan Frame

This one has already been uploaded on FB, but not yet on my blog....
Japanese Fan Frame is a project that is very very close to my heart. I don't know why, but i can sit admiring the frame for hours...


I took almost a month to finish this project... though the work can be finished in a weeks time max.
But i took so long becuase i din't want to compromise on it... I took time to finish the flowers and then leaves... then took time to do the arrangement. Lastly took almost 2-3 days to give it a finishing touch...


Here is a look at the frame....










Finished Project after Framing
I would like to mention here that the leaves in the frame are inspired by Anastasia Wahalatantiri and learned with the help of the tutorial uploaded by Pritesh Ananth Krishnan. Thanks a ton guys and i love you both...


This project also won the hearts of people from all over the world on FB and was announced the heart stealer by Pritesh Ananth Krishnan on her another blog Heart Stealer Quilling Designs.


Here is the link to the award annoucement

My 1st Exhibition of 2012

Hi Friends,


Had an eventful fortnight. Busy and hectic pre-preparations for my Exhibition, then the D day - My Exhibition and lastly a quite and relaxing weekend with friends at Lavasa, India. The weekend was a stress buster.


About the exhibition - It was a two day event (13th & 14th March 2012). It was organised by JIWO (Jain International Women's Organisation). All the items exhibited were handmade. There were a variety of items based on paper quilling (my favourite craft form). Other craft forms used were Parchment Craft, Punch Craft, Fiber work, Oregeta, etc...


Here is a look at my exhibition stall...





Thanks You
