Magnets on the door

Pottering about…

I bought this plain white food tray from a local flea market, at very cheap rates. The moment I had seen them, I knew I had to buy one and try my hand at painting it. And I was in such a hurry (as usual) that I didn’t use any stencil, or any rough pencil sketch, but started painting right away with a brush…

See! But it was not-so-easy as the height of the rim of the tray (I guess you cal it rim, right?) was too much to make the painting easy; or I should have been left-handed! So I just painted it upside-down lolz

Here’s a close-up of the painting, and only in that you get to see how much ou-of-practise I have been

The adventures of the happy pillowcase

Once upon a time, there was a nice, happy canary yellow pillowcase. It nestled in it’s own bed and had fun bringing light n sunshine in an otherwise dull room. in this way, it passed its life happily. But then, one day,  the sunshine was overcome by huge, dark clouds. A lit matchstick fell on it and burned a hole in it. The poor pillowcase was saddened by it and started losing all its color.Then, a fairy took pity on it. She couldn’t mend the hole, she said, but she could give the pillowcase a  new life, a new look. And then she waved her magic wand....
  

And presto! The happy pillowcase turned into a beautiful skirt!!

So I have been away…

It’s been a really long time since I last posted. Let’s just say that I was affected by the mortality and eventual futilty of everything and was trying to understand if crafting is neccessary…

I still can’t say if it is important or neccessary; but I do know it feels great to make something nice/beautiful/useful from my own hands; that it makes my life more fulfilling. So after depriving myself for so long from this world, I have come back.

And what better way, than to post sth I made?

Here’s  a lovely brooch made out of golden tissue and a vintage button(which belonged to my mother). I made this after looking at tutorials on this at net. unfortunately, this was long back, so I don’t have the links for it right now.

But if someone wants it, I can post up a tutorial of how I made this. The pics aren’t really great (!!) as they are taken from a mobile. :( Sorry for that…and I promise, I will be posting back again real soon.

Have a beautiful crafty day, everyone!
