My first handmade zhumka!

Sharing with you my first set of quilled zhumkas in golden color. Adorned these with rhinesone and some color beads.

You are wonderful in every way!

Hi friends. .sharing with you a card I made for the hop to stop. It is a blog hop for the cause to stop domestic violence. 

So many people silently suffer from domestic violence day in and out.  Sometimes they do not have an option to escape. .other times they just need a little push..motivation to change things and be free. Through my card..just want to assure then that they do not deserve any of the violence that they are subject to. .They are wonderful in every way. .and only they can change the situation they are in...hope to Kindle their souls so that they have the courage to start a new leaf of life. 

I created this beautiful quilled humming bird for the family frame of mine. But then the bird was looking too big in it..hence decided to use it in some other project.  Little miss totally loves birds..and I have to make sure there is pink and purple color in the bird ;)

Quilled family frame :)

Hi friends, sharing a quilled project after a long time. This one is quiet close to me. Loved these pictures of ours from malaysia tour (actually sydney-singapore-malaysia-thailand tour ). So decided to make a proper display for them. I started with altering an old quilled frame.But ultimately landed up making something entirely new :)

Btw did you notice the little birdie perched on the photo?  Actually I was planning to make only one bird at the top left corner. But that bird became too big , so I made another smaller bird. Then thought the same bird will look good in the middle too..hence the second bird. No points in guessing on who suggestion I made the third one :) yes kiddo wanted a company for herself. .she is deeply in love with birds currently. .hence the little birdie. 

This was suppose to be hubby's birthday gift which was in aug start. I did show him the preview that time, but the completed one only a little later..as quilling does take a bit of time. My little one was super excited for this gift for her dad and used to be behind me for completing it as soon as I come from office !

Framed up!

Close up

Do let me know how you iked it, thanks for stopping by!

Love - mini mixed media canvas

Hi dear friends
Hope you had a good start for the year and wish you have a fabulous month of love!
Sharing with you today a mixed media canvas I made for DH on our anniversary. This is my first attempt at mixed media, thanks to all the inspiration from my lovely bloggy pals!

I tried to make a small house filled with love, by the river side, under a tree. The tree full of delicious fruits, calm river and the brightly smiling Sun! Ah, a perfectly calm and serene life :)

Started by giving this mini canvas a layer of paint. Stuck packing paper to give the texture.
Had a house paper paper clip, perfect for my house. Painted the tree and embellished it by quilling. It has some birds from a pattern paper. The house is filled with Love brad from purple pumpkin and some pink stones. Made a river with blue mini beads. The Sun is a button from purple pumpkin. The sand is acrylic color on the crushed tissue.


I love my smiling Sun and the happy feeling I get every time I look at this lovely scene. how did you like it?

Quilled photo frame

Quilled ganeshji and lumba rakhi

Hi ppl

Brother and sister relation is a very special bond always, but it is that time of the year when we indians pay a little more attention to out sibling! Yes Rakhsa bandhan it is! 

Raksha Bandhan, (the bond of protection) or Rakhi is a Hindu festival primarily observed in India, Mauritius and Nepal, which celebrates the relationship between brothers, cousins and sisters.The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread, which comes in many colors and designs, by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her as she presents sweets to him. 

Sharing with you, the rakhis i made for my brother and sister in law last year! Yeh i am that lazy somtime.. :)

Made a quilled rakhi with ganeshji for my brother. Sprinkled some sparkle. Loved it!
We also have the ritual to tie rakhi to SIL which is tied to the bangel..just love the danglers i get to tie too!! This dangler is called lumba rakhi. Made a quilled cone and decorated with beads and stones. It is quiet sturdy with a fevicol coating inside, which makes it firm on drying and gives  a nice shine too.

Are you inspired to make a quilled rakhi too? Do lemme know how you liked it.

Explosion box card for parents to be :)

I was so lucky to have my mom come and stay with us, here is Aus for a full 3 months! Dosen't feel like the time is already over!! :( Had a lovely time with mom here, first time after graduation, I  got a chance to stay together with her for this long. She is just adorable, already missing her so much..

As is very rightly said, you realize the importance of your parents, after you become one! Looking at my daughter now, I just wonder how much fun it wud be for our parents and also how much heart ache have given them during the growing up years..

My not so little bro is going to experience these myriad of feelings very soon.
I made this explosion box (my first) for my bro and bhabhi for the lovely phase they are in right now anticipating their little wonder to come into this world and complete it for them!

Made this box using 12*12 pattern paper, washi tapes, some cute cut outs I had of baby and mom. Some 3D Stickers, also a picture of my brother and sis in law with my little S. Got a very cute mini letter from an art store here, loved it!

Here are the detailed shots..

Birthday girl name plate

Little S recently turned 2. This is the name place I made for her birthday to put below the birthday banner. The alphabets are hand drawn and cut. I used the colourful file liners for the different alphas. Applied glitter on the outline for each of the alphabets.The lace at the bottom is a rub-on craft lace. Made a quilled border with roses and leaves.

Do lemme know if you liked it, would love to hear from you!

Quilled hearts - anniversary card

Hi Peeps, sharing with you today a anniversary card with two hearts in red.

 Sometimes in a project, you wish you had stopped yourself a little earlier and not overdone the project :( This is one such project. I wish I had not filled the bigger heart completely, it was looking so pretty with the smaller one filled with beehive and the bigger one outlined. But alas, what is done is done. Does this happen with you?
