Quilled Calendar

Good Day Reader :)

The month of August.. one of the patriotic month :). The challenge theme on Indian Quilling Challenge group is "Incredible India".

India.. a diverse country where we have diversity in everything... So I wanted to show all the main elements in India which makes it Incredible.

I decided to make a Calendar.. I know it is very late to make a calendar.. But its okay.. I would reuse it next year with little changes or reuse it as memo pad.. something  like this.

Yes.. Re-usability.. new word I am thinking of every time these days ;)

So here you go with pictures

It is a Desk calendar and its a front view looks like this

Painted earthen Diyas

Good Day Reader :)

I know it is a quite long time I have not posted anything here. There was really less time for blogging.

Today I am back with a painted earthen lamps (clay diya) as mentioned in my previous post here.

in south India the month of Shravan from Hindu calendar is treated as auspicious and it is kind of beginning of all the festive season.

Festival just reminded me of decorated house/pooja mandir and lots and lots of food.. slurp.. :D

Earthen lamps are integral part of any Poojas in olden days, Off late these are replaced with silver or brass lamps. But painted earthen lamps will add a rich look to the decoration along with their bright colours.

Here are few pictures from the collection of my painted Diyas.

Below are not so good pictures.. But Diyas were awesome in real

Below is one of them while painting

Below are done by my friends :) .. really awesome ones

one of painted Diya when lighted... not so good picture

This time I have also tried floating candle.. tea light holders.. it was fun making candle float in water with all glitters around

That's all for now :)

Thanks for stopping by.. and Happy Quilling and Painting :)
