Dry Flower Arrangement

Me and my mom were too much into flower arranging and other craft stuff while I was in my teens. We had made these dry flower arrangements for a competition. The second one that you see here got me the 1st prize.

Paper Flowers

I made these paper carnations with tissue paper and the red flowers with duplex paper.

Pots


I made this deisgn on the pot by cutting out flowers from an old card. These individual flowers were then pasted onto the pot with some cotton stuffed at the back for a 3-D look. Paint some leaves and add some glitter to get this look.

Designer Pots

This is also one of my very old creations. I had made the flowers and leaves with a dough made of Plaster of Paris and fevicol.

Basket for Children

I had made these around 8-10 years back. Recently found this photo in one of my albums and thoughht I'd put it up here.

Kusudama Art

Kusudama is a Japanese paper model that is usually created by sewing multiple identical pyramidal units (usually stylized flowers folded from square paper) together through their points to form a spherical shape. Here I have made an ornament out of it instead of the usual spherical ball.

Quilled Box

I made this li'l trinket box also last weekend with Shilpi's Quilling kit that I had purschased.
You may buy it at http://www.shilpi.com/. It is also available at Hobby Ideas and at other Stationery stores.

Quilling Card

A quilled card that i made last weekend. I was pretty happy by the way it came out. Hope you like it too.

Cards

More cards made with left over pieces of paper. The second has my husband's and my name written on it :-). I cut-out alphabets from magazines to make up the names.

Working with Stencils.

Stencils are really easy to use and fun to work with. While I was making this Sweet Peas stencil, I kept the inner pieces which we normally discard for use elsewhere. I painted them and stuck onto a card stock paper to make this card.
The second image on right is a bookmark made with a stencil. I outlined it with golden color and added some dots.
The third image is another example of stencilling and brush painting.
