A Handfull of Art

Hello People, Today's project is something which had been sitting there on my desk from a long time and was waiting for a magnet to bound it with somewhere it now belongs to.. yes.. It's happily is attached to my fridge now. I had a fun time making this madhubani inspired magnet, for I love Madhubani paintings and smtimes I do paint them. My earlier attempt at it can be seen here . I have a fetish of collecting magnets as souvenirs as they are one of the best way to remember the places you have been to. I have many from my earlier trip to the US :) I remember the first thing in the souvenirs shop would be Magnets I would look for :) Here's what I made :) Did you check out the madhubani magnet here, well, this is how my fridge looks now.. I remember, the mask one is from New Orleans, the Tiger one from Grand canyon, the castle one from City of Helen and off course... the cards in the wine glass one is from Vegas (Where else would you find the duo combo) :) He

Ever since I visited the Surajkund Mela (For those who are unaware of this Event, this is a craft event which is and annual fair that showcases the finest handlooms, handicrafts, authentic fragrances & flavours of rich Indian cuisines) in Febuary this year, I'am fascinated by Madhubani paintings, for their vibrant and colourful nature.  I'm more impressed and attracted towards the one's which have nature embedded in them for example the one's with the peacocks, fishes... simply love them.... :) Here's one that I made  I love the vibrancy of the colors in it and the contrast :) and it's gonna have a frame soon :) I have already booked my plans for visiting the Mela again the next year !! and grab some awesome designs to work on :) I hope you liked the painting, b/w I made this painting on plain chart paper with water colors.. and not the natural one's as used originally in Madhubani paintings...  Happy Art'ing and Craft'ing :) PS:...
