Beauty Breaks Free...!

Butterflies are so beautiful...!
Life in these matchboxes like flats...hardly see any butterflies now..I remember , we used to catch so many vibrant colored butterflies in the house garden. Yellow n black n pink n blue n green n red n... with beautiful spots n patterns...wow.!
This one is dedicated to all the lovely butterflies;-D

******Thats my so called workshop:) *******



I'm in the process of making a butterfly who's trying to breakfree from a netty trap..she's broken her one wing in the attempt to break free:)



Almost done with the painting...cant find a framing shop here in pune..! 
i think i can make this as a table top...what say.?
 I'll get a nice wrought iron center table made with this glass top..!
Will post the table pic when its ready:)

First Birthday Gift for my niece and nephew:)

My Creation to my niece Prisha and nephew Aarush..A Soft Book..!

Its a book made of cloth and hand painted so that kids cannot tear it..!!! hehe:)

This is the cover page of the book..!
I was very enthusiastic in making something nice for their first birthday... but I just couldn't think of anything different and useful to one year old kids. After a lot of  googles I zeroed on this soft book. When I started making this..Somehow I didn't like what i was making and I had started to loose interest...time was less and office hours increasing..I just got half hour each day just before sleeping to finish this off...but i continued:) .... I'm glad i made this coz i loved the end result:) I hope you'll also like it ...its easy but time consuming ... Do try making it ..!

As I open the book..it looks like this...

I painted Different Shapes on one page and painted a shoe on the other page with real laces so that kids learn to tie laces:)




The next page has a rabbit with a bunny and a sweet squirrel and six clowns with numbers from 1 to 6..
and the other cloth page has a Cat chasing a Rat..lol...and in the background i painted a house and a scenery all with fabric colours with a girl walking down the street with a cake. 
I wrote "P" on the girls dress for "Prisha" , my niece.

This is a hand painted pocket:) Its for the kids to keep their li'l li'l stuff in it:)


The last page has colors in the form of Steps with a Rabbit and Squirrel hoping on the steps...
Who'll come first?:-P


Back of the book says....."Drizzling Krafts by Sakshi"
