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

Made this card to Congratulate a family friend on her Arangetram or Ranga Pravesh, which means “entering the stage”. (Arangetram marks the beginning of a dancer's life, when he or she may cross the threshold from student to professional artist.)

But this card is not as simple as you see. It has a lovely twist to it. This card can also be used as a Photo Frame.
