Hello friends! A very happy diwali to all :)

The festival of lights is here. The beauty of this festival is seeing the pretty diya's around the house.
I made a candle holder from modeling clay which I have learnt from this video tutorial. She has made a very pretty holder. I had a great time making. Am happy to share mine in this post. This is how it looks.

Start off by cutting circles in a sheet of modeling clay. Each circle will become a petal in our holder.

 Make petals by pinching one side of the circle and attach them using few drops of water as shown below.

Handmade Birthday card

Hello folks!

Here's a simple and fun card that I made for a sweet little kid. It folds up to look like a tiny thin book but when you open it, it has a nice 3D effect. First, you need 4 sheets of paper which are squares. I took about 7cm sized papers.

There is a nice video card tutorial on YouTube.

I folded them and cut them like below.

Fold them further. And stick them to each other.

Then I pasted some printed papers as shown below. 

I added some trims to the front side and pasted two felted hearts.

And tadaa !

Painting for kichen

I have been craving for a cute little painting for my kitchen for a long time. And finally its time came.  I had lot of ideas to draw for kitchen like wine glass, vegetables, fruits but I chose COFFEE <3.

Its the best smell you can wake up to and feels so fresh. I would like to dedicate this to my great friend Shruthi who is a coffee fanatic. So coffee lovers, feast your eyes on this.

I made a dark background with different tones of grey. And drew on it with black acrylic.

Painted silver acrylic on the swirls.

Detailed heart :)
