Ganesha hanging using spray paint

I got a spray paint in gold color recently. So prepared another ganesha wall hanging to our door on a cardboard.

Procedure to paint:

1. First I made the design on the paper and cut the paper so that only the outline is visible and you can fill the color in between. 
2. Attach the paper to the cardboard with the help of cello tape.
3. Now spray the paint on the cardboard. carefully.
4. After spray is done for the whole painting remove the outline paper.
5. Now the outline will be empty and design will be visible clearly.
6. You can leave as it is or paint the outline with the color of your choice.
7. Here I have covered the outline using a permanent black marker.
8. And made some extra decorations using the fabric colors.

Take away gift to my friend Veena. I was feeling bad that I couldn't give her on the same day as I was not able to complete the painting after a hectic week of doing paintings and crochet that week. I was happy that atleast I could complete it in the weekend and give her at office on next day.

This painting I have done a cardboard using Pearl fabric colors and sparkle tubes.

Emboss painting

For budding painters as well as anyone who likes to see their painting live up the canvas, emboss painting is an excellent art to chart a new path. Not only does it stimulates the creativity but it also excites the visual senses. Embossing gives a partial 3D character to the image which is achieved by raising or depressing the surface.

You can do your own design and use emboss gum or powder to emboss your own designs. Emboss gum/powder is easily available in markets.

The below emboss painting kit I got it from India. The kit includes the design already printed on a velvet cloth along with colors to paint it and photo of the design. As I bought these emboss paintings long back so all the colors were dried which was of no use. So I used Pearl Fabric colors of my own choice.

Procedure to paint:

1. Place a thick bed sheet on a table and heat the iron box.
2. Keep the velvet cloth on the table where the design should be down and plain side should be on top.
3. Now press it from back side. See that iron should be hot so that the design will emboss nicely.
4. Remove the cloth when the whole design is embossed.
5. Now start painting it with the color combinations shown on the top of the box.
6. Once done allow it for drying and later frame it.

We have invited our friends for dinner to our home. So I made these emboss paintings for them and gave it as take away gifts. This was given to my friend Tulasi :)

Puff stitch cap and baby booties

This Feb 29th my friend Ajju has been blessed with a baby boy. Actually we were expecting a baby girl and I made this cap and booties with combination of pink color :P But anyways children look beautiful in any color so I sent this to her. Hope it will reach soon to you Ajju.

As this wool was a multi-color wool so the booties have come up in two different shades. I couldn't manage to do both in same color combination as I didn't had sufficient wool available.

Darling Crochet Hat

This cap I gifted to my friend Sushma when I left Finland last year.
