Awards time!

Yaaay! Chandana , being her usual sweet self, has passed on an award to me :) Thanks a ton!

So the thing is i have to list 7 things about myself. here I go

- My hair changes its state (cury /wavy/ long waves/short waves/ semi straight) according to even minute changes in the weather. It can be quite irritating, but hey! I get different styles everytime without any effort.

- I can skate quite well

- I can't identify different models of cars (neither do i care abt it):P the 'aha' moment comes only when i read its name at the back :D

- I can make a mean chocolate cake

- I oh so want to be a published cartoonist...right now :D

- I think i am a bit materialistic :P

- I can speak 5 languages, but read only 3 :D

ok, Since it's Tanvi's birthday today (and the fact that she is quite stylish) am going to pass the award to her!

This was fun :D

Jekyll & Hyde bag

Ha! I like this name. This bag had some sequins all over it which i promptly removed. The front of the bag:



The back is slightly different:



Hence, i decided to bring out the jekyll and hyde personality of this bag out a little more.

Using a couple of sequins and beads



The bag was bit too long, so i folded the handle at two places on each side. Then added these sequins on the front:





Next was the back. made a string of red beads and twisted it. Sewed it into place. Then added some flower shaped beads.



Mummy and me posing with the two 'personalities' :D

Painted a bangle

I found this somewhere at the back of mummy's cupboard. The base metal is silver with some (now worn) gold coating.



I painted it.



Hope the colour stays true.

Major Kundan and Meena love

There was a phase when i loved silver jewellery, then came the 'locket with black thread' phase and now i am officially drunk on meenakari and kundan. Here is what i have, over the months, managed to collect after visiting many shops and exhibitions :D





Look at the minute designs. Pure artwork!





Extreme close-ups

Gold rush

I thought making a rubber band would be simple. IT. IS. Not. Maybe the fault lay with the golden ribbon/lace. But here is how i made it.

Ingredients


Struggled with the elastic a bit. Lost quite a few calories i must say. After some huff and puff, this was the result:





OK, so it was worth the effort. Still further Project Rubberbands: Indefinately postponed :P

Fly drangon fly!

Haven't read 'The Twenties girl'yet. Heard that its good. I've read all other books by Sophie, also the ones which she has written using her real name ;)

Notice the dragonfly pendant :



And my spectacles :D The moment i saw the red colour and the dragonfly, i knew i just had to get it:

Painting

Made it some days ago. I just love watercolours so much and birds get completed in a jiffy :D

Plan to make this again on a vase someday


Made another version of the bangle that i had revamped yesterday



Natural pose :D

Bangles makeover

There were bangles which i was so done with, i actually over used them. Hence wanted to change them a bit.. no a lottt :D

This is a very simple 'makeover' so to say.
All you need are bangles and some woollen threads (you can use lace as well, but they might turn out to be a bit itchy)



First, tie one end of the thread to the bangle



Then turn on the radio :P coz this is going to take a while. wind the thread around the bangle. make sure its tight and closely set



When you are done, tie the end

I made a few black and white ones



Further, you can also do some bead work on them. You can innovate it as you like. I am going to use a cowrie shell to bring these three together (boho look :D). Cowrie shells are my most fav embellishment.





Strike a pose ;)



Made another one with a 'hollow on top' bangle and then hung a broken part of my necklace (chic look :D)



Now is the time for a makeover to turn this old and jaded bangle into a cool one.

Used denim fabric and some fabric glue to do that



yo!
