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 :)

It's Diya Time

Good Day Reader :)

As this season is festive season.. and one of my favourite festival Diwali is nearby. I feel very happy when we light different kind of candles and lamps everywhere and entire place will be light full.. colourful.. beautiful.. Oh... Yaaa.. Festive time is sweets time too ;)

For Diwali I thought to make Diya Rangoli this year with quilling. I also love to paint clay diyas.. so I thought I would use them in my Paper Rangoli. 

Centre is a big circular rangoli completely made up with quilling and I have decorated it with pearls and other embellishments

Border is with quilled Diya patterns decorated with glitter.

Four corners are mounted with small quilled circular rangolis with painted clay lamp on them. Lamps are also decorated with kundan stones.

Different views....

Hope you have liked it.. Few painted diyas would be coming up in my next post.

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