Bottle Painting

Hi !!!!

Bottle painting has become one of my favourite craft. Its creatively very satisfying to turn a simple plain bottle into a beautiful show piece.

This time I have tried Mithila art to decorate this wine bottle.

I have used metallic colours & 0 size brush to paint radha-krishna. Base colour is black enamel paint. 

Drop in with your comments on the same.

Happy crafting !!!

Crochet cover

Sharing with you my crochet cover. I have been putting off this project for too long. This year I was finally able to complete it. I haven't blocked it as yet just ironed it to for few clicks...... which also did not turn out well ):

I also completed another bottle makeover using glass colours and glass liner. 

Let me know your views on the above.

Till next time Happy crafting !!!!:)

Stocking /Nylon flowers

Hi !!!!

Happy Friday to all of you :)

Today I am sharing with you nylon or stocking flower bouquet with you.

My student Sanvi has made this for her father as a "Welcome Gift". It was a sheer joy making this as I was doing this after a long long time & it is always inspiring to teach kids as they are so enthusiastic and eager to learn something new. 

I also did some bottle painting. This wine bottle has been lying with me for ages and I want to add some colour to it. So  I gave a base colour with glass colours and did dot painting with acrylics. This is how it looks now :) I am very happy with the outcome & I hope my hubby also feels the same .....

Do let me know what do you think of my projects :)

Till next time have a great weekend !!!:)

Misc. Activities

Hi !!!!

Happy Monday to u all !!!. Its  been more than a month since I last blogged. My broadband has been giving me lot of problems with their erratic connectivity issues. But finally they have been able to sort out the problem & since yesterday its been working fine. 

During this period I tried my hands in dot painting & recycled another bottle . This is how it looks ... Have used 0" & 2" size brush & acrylic paints. 

Have to apply a coat of varnish on the same. Somebody told me that glass surface needs separate kind of varnish but the one I have is for clay work or wooden surface. If anybody knows about glass varnish do let me know & from where I can get it ...??

I have also started to learn macrame. After watching few videos on the same I was able to make this small mobile pouch using simple square knots. 

For this I have used malai dori which I had got from Pradhan Stores long time back . Still need to affix front button.😊   Need to try out few more projects to get acquainted with this art form.

I would also like to share my young student's work. They are in 4th & 5th grade and they have done these beautiful Madhubani paintings. Makes me feel so proud 😊😊

Do share your views on the above. 

Till next time have a creative crafty week. 👍

Bottle Makeover

Hi !!!

Thanks a lot for your feedback on my last post.

I am back with another bottle art  project. For this I have used 0"size brush & acrylic colours. This is the front side....

Back side....

Let me know how it looks....

There are lot of things going on in my mind. Have to complete few crochet projects which have been lying unattended for long.I also want to learn new art forms like dot painting, gond style painting....... List is endless..... but don't know when will I get the time to make a head start in this direction :)) I think I need to take the "Time Management" thing more seriously... maybe then I would be able to manage my never ending projects more efficiently..

Till next time happy crafting :)

Short lived creativity :((

Hello !!!!

When I started to write this blog post I was very excited as after days of hard work I had finished my bottle painting. 

This is the first time I had tried bottle painting... thanks to Shashwatee Raut's (http://whencreativejuicesflow.blogspot.in/) DIY tutorial on the same. In case you are looking for innovative ideas on recycling & reuse then her blog is an ideal place to visit.:)

I chose phad painting (traditional painting of Rajasthan) to decorate my bottle and this is how it came out...

It just needed a coat of varnish and was ready to become  a part of my home decor..... but oooooooh my student's mother who had come to pick her daughter broke my bottle. It happened so fast....... in a fraction of second my bottle was lying scattered on the floor......:((( & now this is how it looks.

I am feeling so so very disappointing ........ Has anyone experienced this kind of incidence ????? Do share it .... will help me feel a bit better :)

I have nothing else to share,  only this pencil shading work which I did last week. Even though I have already shared it in Instagram, but I wanted to share it with my readers.

Do let me know how it looks......

Durga puja is just round the corner & I am planning to paint Maa in monochrome using madhubani art form.  My crochet runner is also lying untouched. Lots of things are going in my mind.... hopefully would be able to finish them all.....

Till next time take care and have a nice day !!!!

Another bottle makeover ........

Hi !!!!

I am back with another bottle makeover. This time I have tried to recycle coffee bottle.  Initially, when I started this project I had something else in mind, but by the time I was thru I ended up with a different look..... and this is what I made :)

Before

After

a replica of Nesting Doll  / Russian Doll :)  

Also called matryoshka doll,  refers to a set of wooden dolls in decreasing size placed one inside another. These dolls were first carved by Vasily Zvyozdochkin in 1890 and was designed by Sergey Malyutin.

Have a great weekend !!!!:)
