Stand from Bangles..

Here is an another example of best from waste that is stand from bangles.I have a bunch of bangles and including my mom's they all lie in my cupboard most of the time. Most of us don't use bangles in our daily life.So we can make something creative and useful from them as we use it for once and keep it to be in waste. Have a look on this Pen stand :


So guys, If you have bangles that you don’t use, you can line them and stick them around tumblers, for a great effect. I hope you like it...:)

BEST out of Waste!!

As we all definitely have done best out of waste things in our school days. I use to have competitions of making best arts from the waste materials. I always use to take participation and make creative and useful things such as Pen-stand from ice-cream sticks and bangles, wall piece, etc. Now it has kinda become a hobby as we get to learn something new and creative.
In my childhood, but unfortunately protect it so long. I just want to show you guys how interesting it looks and we cant even imagine that it has made by something waste materials.
So I would like to show a pen-stand made from waste ice-cream sticks : 



In my last post, I have posted some inspirational pottery designs and now I am going to show you my own simple designs. They are not that good as I am not good in drawing still pottery painting attracts me towards it to do so.

Here are the designs drawn by me: 



Pottery Painting

And here I am with my another hobby Pottery painting...
Pottery painting is something that most people express an interest in.There is something about the process of pottery, which is why even people who are not artistically inclined are drawn to it. There are some techniques involved in the process of pottery and its decoration. This includes the preparation, the throwing and then molding and decorating the pottery. Some of the way of decorating pottery includes glazing the pot, painting it and even engraving or carving it. You can glaze the pot by many methods including spraying or dipping or even pouring on top or brushing it.The only caution while decorating a bit of pottery is that exercise patience.The thing about pottery is that it has value in terms of usage and adds to the look of the decor too.

Here are some amazing pottery painting ideas and designs from which I am inspired and want you all to have a look.

CROSS-STITCH

 Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture.It is one of my best hobby.The stitcher counts the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch. Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric which is called stamped cross-stitch as the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern. I came to know about this interesting thing when I was 11 years old. When I have nothing to do, I start stitching. So if you have not done this yet I suggest you must try it. You will not only learn something new but also will have fun doing it.

  This is how it is done :


      


 
You can have a look on this design:  
Its not made by me, its just to show you how it looks like when it is done but I have started with another design after a long time so I guess it will take time but I will post it for sure in my next post..:)

Designing Mehndi

It has been quite sometime I gave attention to this blog as I had my exams and so much of assignments. So now I am gonna post about my another hobby and that is designing Mehndi.
Mehndi is one thing I would never get tired of! At the age of 10-11 I started practising designs from the books I see, then upgraded to Internet. Now I can make fairly decent designs.
When somebody said "Practice makes a man perfect", surely they must have had the art of Mehndi in mind! I still remember those days when my mom and myself would try to squiggle out some random designs out of the store-bought cones.
I had put Mehndi last weekend on my mom's hand and I took step-by-step pictures of how it turned out.
So here are the steps : 
Sorry about the poor quality, I had to take it at quick succession and they are clicked by mobile! :(
As and when the Mehndi dries up, use a dash of lemon juice mixed with sugar to wet them again. You can leave this on for about 2 to 4 hours, depending on your patience. When you are removing it, use the back of a spoon to scrap the dried Mehndi off. Do not wash with water; instead apply a little coconut oil and leave it on for an hour for better results.
This is how the colour turned out to be!
Hope you all enjoyed these!! See you soon with another interesting post! :)
