Loving this colour---"red"!

Hello,


Valentine is over, but the colour remains in me forever...! Don't you think so..???

I love this colour, do you?

This artwork is for the YOGI in me--- a part of my soul, my body... to keep me calm.

           Have a super lovely week ahead!

sunshine .....

           Hi ,


                       Today's theme is very much Indian and so very very bright too . '' SUN , OM , and the chantings of HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA '' , from our temples  ,  in bright and bolder hues to give that especial positive energy which we all need in our lives specially during our prayer and meditation times .

                      Apart from this you can paint this cute and simple sun motif  for the gipsy look in your stoles , skirts ,bags ... A little bit of golden touches here and there , and a handful of sequins thrown in ... ( oops ...! here comes my love of glitter --- sequins again ) .

                  
                         Now , this reminds me of making one such SUN for my home too ... OK , I'll start making it today only and show it to you all in my next post . Hope I finish it in time !

                  Our very own SUN

                   Half Sun print

               in red

                   once again half sun

                       more variations

                     red and yellow and gold !!!

                       sun in teal background

                 See you all next week ...

circled ......

        Hello ,


                   This week I bring some designs in circles . Paint them on glass , wood or on any surface you like ...........

                bye , see you next week ......

swirls, continued...

   hello there,

            Life is sometimes so full of designs. Like the smoke rising from a hearth of burning coal, fresh and peculiar scent fills the morning air ( in country side, and in major part of India, too ), and the very same starts with the setting of the sun, in the evenings...

            Today a few of my designs will resemble that smoky dawns and those smoky-dusky-evenings of the country side India with some dreamy and imaginary patterns to be used in a quite modern way...


     Black and white...a classic combination. Use this design on the kitchen or bathroom tiles. Using it one  after another--- it will surely create a wonder.


  

          Sometimes in a coloured form ( please, choose the colours of your choice). Using it in the kids room will give a dreamy as well as a very dramatic look. Teaming up with equally bright (door and bed) mats and flowing-colourful drapes on the windows, some soft throws on the cosy rug, cool-cotton bed sheets,.... uhhhh...the dream goes on...
        
           Use it as a framed wall-piece ( embroidered or painted...), paint it on bedsheets,or trays, ect., the choice is yours.

                  Paint or patch this one for a wall panel, or on spreads for trays, stencil or embroider it as a long border on towels, bedcovers, or even on curtains, ( finish the edges of bed linens and curtains by stitching a  2-3''  contrast cloth for a neat look. Laces, small cloth-balls, triangled edges, frills... choose any ends to make it look more charming and  '' I-use-it-more-often-piece ''.

            Some modern piece for using it otherwise. A '' starting-from-nowhere-ending-everywhere '' pattern. Have this painted on the door, or on glass panes, or, better still, as a wall art !!! Stencil-paint it directly on the walls and see the neighbours peeping in for more...! Team it up with a contrast-solid coloured border on either sides or only on the bottom side for a finish look.

               Designs for everyday use...for stained-glass windows, or embroidered pieces...this will look great on any surface.Having a modern and vintage touch, it will suit any life-style and soothe to all eyes. Print it or paint it, the soft pastle colours will look good on bed spreads, too.

           A cool Summer print, especially for dress materials. The bordered edges on the sleeves and the fall ( of a flowing tunic ) will look nice and trendy. A light embroidery or some sequins ( or mirror work ) will give delicacy to the garment.

           Well, why don't you have your doors painted, this season ??? Yeah sure, this design will surely give any door, a brand new look ! So its high time you give your ( at least one ) door , its due...and i'm sure you'll love it, too.

       

               A bright and multi-hued-square piece for your wall. Have it painted directly on a ply-board or on a large canvas. Keeping it ' a-one-piece-attraction ',  the room won't need any other accessory, other than this, i bet. Won't you think the same???

            Once again, a print for keeping oneself cool this summer. Aqua and black combi suits all.

.have a nice week till we meet next
