My secret garden :)

Another wall clock :)....

This time .... I have a full blown story that totally made my clock what it is :).

I like to call it my secret garden timepiece.

The idea is that on the right there are birds in a cage and on the left the birds are free .....  A juxtaposition that love can either bind us or set us completely free. 

And another.... Where from a cage, you can just hope and wish for freedom. 

The beauty lies in the subtle texturing at the back and the positioning of the flowers around the dial :)....

Thus, my secret garden ... Wall clock.

Though there is a very evident flaw in this creation of mine ....  :)

Can u figure it out :)????

Art Journal - " believe in your dreams"

There are days, when you just have to remind yourself to believe in your dreams... to believe that the world is a beautiful place and that art is what make's this world worth living in :)

So... This time I decided to make myself an art journal..  precisely to remember all those things that I just mentioned.

Modelling paste , stencils, Lindy's sprays ... continue to be my ever faithful companions .. while working on mixed media projects :)

The butterfly is hand drawn and colored in with my beautiful set of 

Derwent water color pencils.

I added some heat embossing details and finished off with A sentiment .. That exactly conveyed ... what I was thinking :)

"Believe in your dreams"

For .. It's spring time :)

This time around... my craft supplies were literally beckoning me to sit and craft.
To create something .. to make something fresh :)

And trust me,  creating n designing and crafting can be as therapeutic as any spa session for me:).

So, this time I wanted to make something with the fresh and flowery feel of spring ... for finally winters are done with :).

I ended up creating a mixed media clock ..  with flower's and birds.. about as springy as it gets.

and since I clicked a lot of pictures... this is going to be a picture heavy post:)

so .. that is how I started ... I used some modeling paste and a pretty ornate stencil to create the background

Used my favorite Lindy's starburst spray's to get the color ... only thing, instead of misting them all over, I used them with a brush so that I could get the desired effect ..
 then ...

mulberry flowers, some pattern paper... quilled leaves ... fussy cut birds ... And Laser cut mdf embellishments :)

And here we go :)

 The Final piece :)

Do let me know:). what you think of my , super special and very springy:)...  mixed media clock.


Since, I am entering this in the super fun lulupu birthday challenge this month:

Lulupu 2nd birthday special
My project consists of:

L - leaves, laser cut wooden embellishments, Lindy's sprays

A Lazy Blogger :)

Hey guys :), so when I actually opened my blog .. the realization finally dawned on me that I had not blogged for over 3months .. and we're well into march 2014 .. 

And can you guess .. this year's resolution :D.. 

obviously .. to blog about my creations a lil bit more ... well , so much for resolutions :)

Anyhow, the one post that I really should have put up ... And that too very proudly :).. is that I got the opportunity to be a guest designer for LULUPU - THE CRAFT STORE :)  

A SCRAPPY-LICIOUS LAYOUT

The theme was scrap - your-  scraps and here is what I created for it :)

Everything that I have used in this layout has been leftover from previous projects.

This is how I started … I first adhered strips of newspaper to a rescued chipboard and then, arranged my strips of pattern paper on a (previously cut out) heart

I then applied a light coat of Gesso on the newspaper (heat dried it ) and then misted it with Lindy’s starburst sprays.

I used a TCW stencils and modeling paste in the background …  and then again misted it till I achieved the effect that I liked

I then pasted my scrap pp heart ( which I lightly edged with distress ink) and then embellished it with some hearts that were again the negatives from a previously made frame.

A mixed media affair :)

 I have another project to share with you guys :)

A project, that I made with a lot of love and after a lot of tries :)..... ( And using a lot of supplies :) of course )

I started with priming my shadow box with Gesso, added Texture to it with modeling paste and mod Podge ( Psst .... The stencils were from TCW)

I then, added my mulberry and some metal embellishments using a heat gun ... brushed it with Gesso again and sprayed it with Lindy's moonshadow and starburst sprays :)

I absolutely lowee my sprays .. They're the best addition to my craft supplies :)

I've used pattern paper for the back of my clock face ( messed it up a lil :)... so fixed it with adding a purple cardstock at the back :D)

I have To Thank Mallika for this project :)..... She's truly an amazing crafter :)

A Yummilicious .... Layout

So yeah  :)... I've not been blogging ...I have been crafting ... (coz its developed into my first love ) but not been sharing it ...

So .. finally, here I am .. Back ,with a layout that I made for the 25th anniversary of a very special couple.

Ive used Patterned paper from one of my DCWV stacks, A handful of mum's.. Some spellbinder die cut's, stamped out butterflies and then accentuated the layout with wooden cut outs and embellished sentiments :)

Wanted to keep the whole project .. Simple .. yet elegant.

Mixed Media

My first attempt at making a mixed media project :)

This was a project that I had been waiting to work on for the longest time ... but it was only after several delays that I finally managed to finish this :)

I have worked on a 8 X 6 canvas for this .... The embellishments were mostly from my crafting stash :)

The canvas is primed with Gesso and then stenciled on with some modeling paste and stencils from The crafters workshop....

After I finished embellishing it :)... came my utmost favorite part :).... Misting ....

The entire project is then misted with ( my absolute favorite ) Lindy's starburst and moonshadow spray's :)
