Hey folks!

Am obsessed with candles and tealight holders. Although I have plenty at home, I still felt like making some 😊. For all those "candle cravers"...see what I did 😉😄, here are some more ideas to customize your tealight holders and light up your home. They are great for party favours too because they are cute and handmade.

I bought these square shaped glass holders and drew on them using 3D paint. I used pearl colour for this.

In the second holder I just experimented with silver 3D paint.

Now I will share with you the clay floral tealight holders. I used air dry clay to make these. I have already shared a tutorial for making such holders, which can be checked here. I have used acrylic paints and on the edges I used golden acrylic paint.

Next one uses silver acrylic paint on the edges.

The next one uses metallic acrylic paints.

The next ones also use acrylic paints. I made these as party favours. 

Next is a variation of floral tealight holder. I used air dry clay to make these. I used metallic acrylic paints for petals and spray painted gold for the inside.

  

I hope you liked this post. And do try making them. 

Unicorn Painting

Hello people !!

Here is painting I made recently as a present to a little girl. I used acrylic paints on a canvas to make this. Its really simple to make and I can guarantee that kids will love it.

I started with drawing the sketch on a canvas.

And painted baby pink background by mixing crimson red with white.

To draw outlines, I used a black marker.

And done !!

Clay Diyas

Hello folks!

The festive season is upon us. And am very excited about my favorite festival....and you guess it right. Its DIWALI 😁. Staying away from our homeland really creates a void in our heart during festivals. Its like a silent longing for me ....missing home and family. Its not that other days there is no such feeling...its just that it peaks during festivals. This year am going to celebrate with a festive spirit, imagining how wonderful it would be to spend this time with family and recollecting all the beautiful memories. Lighting Diya was one of my favorite activities. In this blog I have shared some of my handmade clay Diyas.  I have used air dry clay both terracotta and white. Enjoy !

 I dedicate this blog to all those who are missing their home and family. Happy Diwali !! 😃

Texture Painting

Hola amigos 😃 !

Today I want to share tutorial for texture painting that I made last week.

The materials used are :

• A primed canvas
• Gouache paints from Talens Art Creation for background 
• Acrylic paints 
• Fine grain  acrylic effect paste from CREA BOX Marabu brand.
• Palette knives 
• Stencil
• Painters tape

I started with a yellow, green, violet blended background. For this I used Gouache paints. They are opaque matt paints with high intensity colors. For making violet, I used Deep Rose and Cyan colors. And the rest are Deep Green and Lemon Yellow.

Once the canvas is dry, I taped the stencil onto the canvas. I used certain parts of the canvas to get the design. So I taped the rest of the stencil to avoid texture paste getting through. I used Acrylic Effect Paste from CREA BOX. It can be painted over once dry. To spread the paste I used plastic palette knives.

Similarly going further...

This is the final design.

To paint over the effect paste, I used bleeding technique. For this, I painted the petal with a little bit of water first using a brush.

Then I slightly touched the petal with color. And now the beauty of it unfolds 😍.

Similarly, painting all the petals...

I drew some outlines using black acrylic paint.

Now, I used the same bleeding technique to paint the stems and leaves. This time, I used two colors: Green and yellow.

I drew some swirls as background. I used white, yellow, green and blue colors for this. 

At few areas I used gold metallic paints and ...done !!
