WWI

Where Was I?
I mentioned in one of my posts that my cousin is coming for a vist with her kids.We had the most hectic and wonderful time.The kids bonded and had loads of fun and did not want to part with each other.Then it took about 3 days for us to get over their departure.Now I got back to blogging/bragging.
For my next project I have decided on "Sewing and Embroidery"."Sew" lets see what I come up with.

Cheerleader with Pom-Poms??????

We have our computer back.Yay,I missed bragging about myself.It is addicting ;).

I have always wondered what kind of a flower this is.I painted it with Blue and Turquoise and the blending worked out wonderfully.The golden center adds a glow.But to me it looks like someone very beautiful and slender holding Pom-Poms.Am I the only one????Whether this flower has the same colors in reality or not I dont know,but I love the colors I chose.
If anyone knows what this flower is called,let me know.I would like to see if the real one is as beautiful as mine.

My laptop is not working since 3 days......and I have not been able to post.Fortunately we have an iPhone.So I am posting from my iPhone,but I can't upload photographs.....so I am stuck.We are trying to fix the laptop and then maybe I can upload some more of my paintings.
Wish me luck!!!!!

Potful of Flowers

I have come to the last embossed painting that I have done.Nothing much to say, though this seems simple it did take a while to make.I particularly like the shading on the pink flowers and the blue buds on the top.The pot that holds the flowers and vines turned out good.I think that making this potful of flowers was very thoughtful of me.I will start posting about glass paintings from tomorrow.Bye-bye for now!!!

Wedding Procession

I have never been in a wedding procession.In South-Indian culture there are not many people who have wedding processions,but a procession with the groom on a horse is a major part of North-Indian weddings.It is amazing how the huge group of people from the groom's side follow the groom on a horse,beautifully dressed and happily dancing to the wedding band's musical tunes.This is my first embossed painting is that of a procession that takes place after the wedding ,where the groom is taking his bride home.I wanted to glue some good kundans but did not find the time(I was doing kundan work on a Kalamkari patch then).I framed this myself.I just purchased some canvas framing pieces and upholstered the fabric.Then I glued a lace on the border.I love the frame more than the painting....because it was my idea of gluing a lace instead of painting a colour(as other frames usually are finished).

I have to frame all my other fabric art,but dont want to repeat the above.So I am trying to find a different way.....any ideas?????

Is it Love?......No,It's Dove,actually it's Doves!!!!!

Remember that ad on TV when " Dove" soap was introduced in India.It was tagged the costliest soap in India.I remember when a bar of  "Dove" soap costed 40 Rupees.Oh man,the power of human brain,I started thinking of a title for this painting and ended up talking about soaps.

Two beautiful doves totally in love!!!!!The technique of color blending in the blue flowers was suggested by my dear hubby.This is again a craft kit which includes a velvet cloth with the design on it,colors and brush and a palette.Seems easy ,yet takes a bit of skill to get good results.I have not framed the painting yet.I hope to do it soon.I suddenly realized that I end my every post with a "hope to paint/do " phrase.So today I will change it as say ,I will do it soon. :)

Flowers of Many Colours!!!!

So I am back to talk to about my paintings.Aha ....this one has a story .I found it on a fellow blogger's blogspot and fell in love with it.I just had to make it,so I took her permission and painted it.
I did not know that it was a design available in craft stores in India.When I found a Fabric Painting Kit in India with the same design...I purchased it and that is the post "Hues of Blue" on July 7th.Experimenting with designs,colors and mediums has become my "thing" now.I want to make the same painting in 2 different mediums, glass and fabric.There are so many paintings I want to make ....that I doubt if 24 hours in a day would be sufficient for me...... :) and now I want to make 2 of each,so God help me!!!!
