Quilling roses

Here comes another quilling flower arrangement..Couple of 3D roses; each of them took close to 100 strips and good amount of time. But, I'm happy with the outcome.. I think, I could have chosen a better color, but not much choice is left. I'm running out of stock and it is high time that I place a new order and fill my stock :)

I'm yet to decide if I should leave it as a stand alone piece 'or' it should be framed..

Another silk bangles set

March shouldn't just go without a post..Right? Here is a pair of bangles that I've made in January, but kept postponing to put in blog - as I wanted to take better pics..Looks like I'm not going to do that anymore.

This time, I've used the checker pattern, where in the yellow thread is weaved against the outer blue thread, giving a pattern. I've not used any embellishments; This goes with a plain cotton saree and gives a simple look, which I love the most :)

Quilling lavenders

Here comes my latest quilling project (well, this is a month old). I've been waiting for quilling lavender in a combination of light and dark, but I could not manage to get both these strips at a time so far. Finally, my last purchase has both these colors and this is what is made from these 2 mm strips (400 odd strips ??).

 I couldn't quickly reach to a conclusion on what the stamen should look like and in which color. I tried black, brown and finally ended up using fringed yellow strip..

Paper Quilling miniature snow man

                                                 
Here comes the month of December and what do i do, apart from enjoying a steaming cup of coffee? This time I and Kids have decided to get a Christmas tree and decorate it with DIY ornaments. We could manage to do lot of stuff with the paper and other craft accessories that we've at home..I wanted to add something made out of quilling and the first thing that came to my mind is a miniature paper snow man..so easy to make..Isn't it??

Multi color silk bangles

                                                 
Yet another silk thread project. This time, it is a pair of multi colored bangles. My maternal aunt has asked me to make a pair for her. But, I'm not sure which color will go with her clothes..So, decided to make a multi-coloured one and here it goes...One is made while I was on the way to my home town..crazy me :)

Silk thread accessories - 3

Another project on silk accessories.. so far, I've been trying to use the things from my mom's sewing kit. It's time to buy brand new and other color threads other required raw material...But, as you know, I'm too lazy to shop and the prices in Amazon were not so convincing to me..Then, came an opportunity when my DH & mom-in-law were out of town for 4 days and I have no choice, but to take off from work..that too on Thursday and Friday...What else do I need?
On Thursday, I picked my son from school (which he loves the most when I'm not going to work) and went straight to a (so called very famous) stationary shop to check if I can buy the things I need... I was very much disappointed to see the limited collection they've..so, picked just 3 threads & jhumka base and came home...

Started making all these stuff with the limited stuff I bought and they were so addictive that I can't stop making these for two days.. I had to stop on the third day as my eyes were hurting a lot..But anyways, good stuff to start with..

Behind the scenes

In contrary to the regular posts, I decided to put up a post on the mess I create in the process of making a craft project. I must say that I compete with my 5 & 8 year old kids in creating clutter in the house (the only difference is I clean it and they don't)

Here is my space..one shelf in a wardrobe where I store all my art/craft supplies..I do make an attempt to clean this up once in a while..but it is always a challenge..
