KERALA MURAL PAINTING- KATHAKALI



Hi everyone..

Today Iam going to share a Kerala Mural painting that I completed long before.. This is based on Kathakali.

Kathakali  is a stylized classical Indian Dance Drama noted for the attractive make-up of characters, elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion.

DIY RECYCLED HOLDER


Hey today I’am going to show you a 2mnts DIY project.



 Any idea with what I made this stuff? Its a mineral water bottle which we dispose everyday..



Nothing much to explain. First decide how much length you want for your vase/holder. Then cut the bottle with a small razor. Now put the bottle inside your favorite old socks......





Isnt it easy to make ? you can use this as a flower vase ,stationary holder etc. I have used it to keep my stationary items/toiletries.




Try it... will upload a new project soon.. Keep checking my blog and do send me your valuable comments.

MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL- BLOCK PRINTED SARI



 
Dedicating this post to all the mom's who love sarees.HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY :)

These days painted fabrics are in fashion. For those who don’t know painting/drawing I will help you with an easy way out . It is called block printing…. You will get blocks from your nearest craft shop..The only thing you need is to choose a right design…


This project I did for my mom who loves sari more than anything in this world…  She loves doing paintings, stiching etc.... Actually she is the one who inspired me into this world of crafts...

Lets see how to do this block printing…You just need a cloth, fabric paints, design block , a painting brush and the material to do the printing.. Here I have taken my mom’s sari..

Place some news paper on a table and spread ur cloth over it.

Pour the color into a flat plate and dip the design block in this color. Apply it evenly on the block with the help of a brush… Now slowly press the block on the cloth. Repeat this process to make continuous patterns...


My mom was soo happy after seeing the final product.... :)


Hope you all will try this.. Once again Happy Mother's Day :)
