Face masking competition

On Dasara, our floor in office had organized a Face Masking competition. The floor was divided into different Wings... the deal was to create four masks on the theme of Diwali/Dasara/Durga pooja. We picked the Durga pooja theme. We only had an hour and a half to finish this task.

The plan was to create a scene of Mahishasur wadh. We started right on time and finished right on time …

Out of all the masks, our mask of Maa Durga was by far outstanding... had it not struck me to use 'Zhirmilya' for her mukut this wouldn’t have

been possible!

With the masks we made and the presentation that we gave we had to win ... and we did! :)

Forever in our hearts …

Here is one of my first craft project… Papa this one is for you:

Every step I take, every move I make, every smile I break, every prayer I say,

I'll be missing you.

Thinking of the day, when you went away, what a life to take, what a bond to break,

I'll be missing you.

 

The poem/prayer here is something that I found on the Internet… it just touched my heart…

Forever in our hearts

If tears could build a stairwell

And memories were a lane

We would walk right up to heaven

And bring you home again

 

In sorrow we watched you sinking

And watched you fade away

And though our hearts were aching

We knew you couldn't stay

 

No farewell words were spoken

No time to say goodbye

You were gone before we knew it

Can someone tell us why?

 

Our hearts still aches in sadness

And secret tears still flow

What it means to lose you

No one will ever know

 

You will never be forgotten

We pledge to you today

A hollow place within our hearts

Is where you will always stay

Pencil sketching/shading

Pencil shading

Here are the first few of my sketches.... I do plan to join a class!

My first ever Egyptian painting

I have been dying to do an Egyptian painting since last three years probably. After coming back to India I had decided to join a class to learn the same... But never did.
Finally I decided to do it by myself...

Got some tips from my aunt, downloaded a picture, copied it on a sheet, and started painting... It wasn't until I used the Blue and Green color that the picture got its awesome look! I am in love with those two colors...
After painting the basic I came across the real challenge, outlining with black... I messed up at number of places. Hope no one notices... In the end the picture did turn out to look a nice... thanks to the stunning Green and Blue paint.. Used Fabric colors for the first time and loved them!
Then to finish it I tore the edges of the paper to give it an ancient look... and ... here is my first ever Egyptian painting....!!
This time i did it on paper... next time the plan is to do it on silk... :)
