Hello readers 😃!

Recently I went shopping and found a very pretty graphic greeting card. I was so mesmerized by that I could not think of anything else for few days. I could only see that card everywhere I saw #StoryOfMyLife. So I started to put it on a canvas. I drew the sketch first. 

I used acrylic paints to colour it. First started with clouds which reflect the colours of sun rays.

Now I painted the lotus flowers. I really liked the colours I mixed for them.

Next, I painted the leaves and grass. And did some purple lotus flowers.

Now, I started with the sun rays. It took a lot of time because it had lot of details.

To take some break from sun rays I switched to water in the lake.

And done. It took pretty long to paint. I spent 3 days just for sun rays. But am very satisfied with the final look. 

To give the final touch, I drew outlines of the flowers, leaves, birds using a sketch pen.

 And done! 😄

Photo frame makeover with colourful clay

Hi !

I wanted to gift something handmade to an awesome couple I love. I got the idea of photo frame with some clay makeover. For this project, I used play doh kind of clay. 

I used all the colors in the package. It had red, blue, green, yellow, white & black. For the hearts on the frame, I used red clay. Rolled it into thin strings and started making a spiral which can be spotted in the lower part of picture below.

I glued that spiral on the frame. If you noticed, I used Fevicol...that's because I was in India while making it 😀😀😀!!

I saw this pretty knitted pattern using clay on Internet. Here's an easy tutorial video . 

I was making normal clay spirals using white and black clay. But my lovely sister 😍 suggested to make spirals using both strings together. Thanks darling 💗.

Filled the big heart area with these pretty black and white spirals.

Next, I made pink and orange twisted strings to use them as borders for the big heart. For those who are wondering, I mixed red and yellow clay to make orange.... and red-white to make pink 😉. And we are done ...yay!! 😄

Paper art on canvas using geometric shapes

I came across lot of Pinterest crafts using geometric shapes mostly triangles. I tried one too and am very happy about it :) This is how it came out.

I had three sheets of paper with colorful patterns on it.

I cut them up into 3cm squares. Then cut them diagonally. Here's a picture of them sorted in groups.

Later I pasted them on the canvas. I had a used canvas which I didn't like anymore. This craft gave it a new look, bright and colorful :) . The triangles didn't line up exactly on the edges but trimming works fine.

Finally, it looks like this 

crafting on canvas using clay

Recently I have finished a work using clay on canvas. I was inspired by lot of art works done using polymer clay in the internet. This work of mine is just using some basic colors and basic clay that kids use to play with. I started to work on it by making clay spirals and filling up the empty space on canvas. It is time consuming but worth it.

Here are the supplies that I used. The screwdriver is simply to cut the appropriate quantities of clay. One may use any other tool that helps.
