Dilli Haat, INA

Hi all

Yesterday I went to Dilli Haat, INA, I met several artists there, they all are National Awardees in the field of Art and Craft. Basically they are called Shilp Gurus.

The whole Dilli Haat was decorated to celebrate the spirit of Common Wealth Games, Delhi 2010. Every time when I went there I enjoyed a lot but this time I enjoyed more than my previous visits there. To meet with Shilp Gurus, to know the art and Craft of different states, I realize how wealthy our India in the field of Art and Craft.

Suddenly I came to know a very unique art there which is called "Sea Shell Craft" from Orissa. I was just stunned to see this unique Art. Artists from Orissa used to carved on sea shells and then paint over it. Carving is so minute and detailed. After carving they paint over the carved part. They also make jewelery from sea shells and various other decorative products. I click some pics. of them and also talked to them about this art.

When clay goes up n down on wheel according to the rhythm of your legs, wow it gives so much calm,cool,inner peace,silence and satisfaction. Everyone should experience this joy.
This Bird I made with clay. The bottom circular part I create it on kick wheel and tail and the upper face part I create it with the hand built technique in Pottery.

Chunky Dolls

Hi all

These dolls I made with empty juice boxes long time back. Earlier I uploaded these dolls on busymitts.com and wanted to share these with my blogger friends also. I saw some tutorial on internet (forgot the link) and tried myself. I taught how to make these dolls to my students also. They enjoyed a lot and made beautiful dolls with empty juice boxes according to their creativity and I was amazed to see the outcome from my students. They come up with beautiful dolls and every doll has its own character. My main motive to teach my students how to utilize empty juice boxes which they thrown outside of the school canteen and they inspired a lot. Some of them made these dolls to gift their friends and relatives also.

1-2-3 Get Set Go!!
1 Patterned Paper
2 Colours - Pink and Brown
3 Embellishments

Base is Pink Cardstock.
Roses patten paper is completely handmade.I created roses pattern on dull brown Card Stock. I have a roses stencil,first I thought to give a stamp effect on Brown Card stock to create my own pattern paper.I tried it on another sheet but was not satisfied with the result. I was so upset with the result. Then decided to create my own pattern paper and i just take out my brushes and colors.First draw the roses from stencil and then color each and every rose along with shading. OMG its reminds me of my college days when I continuously sat down coolly,calmly and patiently,for long hours with my brushes and colors to complete my work even at late nights.So much satisfied with the result and I cheer up to myself that college days are back again.Precious days.
Combine white and brown ribbon so as to look one.
