Beaute Naturelle - Final Edition

Hello All,

Thank you all for so much love and encouragement for my previous posts............here is the third (and final!) part of the order..........4 more sign boards for Meghana's boutique in Pune..........I have a busy few days ahead of me, hence the rush to post them in one go :) If you're in Pune, do drop by for the opening and trust me, the stuff she stocks is WONDERFUL! Just picked up one today :) Go freak there! :)

For her nature-inspired line of home-decor products:

Being Meghana, she is all for promoting individual artists and there is one wall in her shop dedicated to Art! This is what will describe that wall :):

Being eco-friendly needn't be an activity, it can become an attitude........and Meghana announces this is style:

Trust honey bees for collecting the best wax you can get and imagine a flavouring of raspberries and pomegranate in it! THAT is one of the many awesome things Meghana offers in her "Lip Service" section:

Beehive in a Beehive :)

Hello All,

And and and, FINALLY, all that beehiving is over! :) At times, I felt I was punishing myself with this much beehiving but all is well that ends well :)

There was no order for this piece but somehow, my heart was into it and so, here it goes :) The sentiment on the piece is not yet added (I've done some image editing to add that sentiment from top, the space is otherwise available for customization)......an apt gift for Wedding/Anniversary/Engagement :)

Here goes my Beehive in a Beehive project (Susan, I can never thank you enough for introducing us to beehiving) :)

This piece deserves three credits, first one to Susan :) Second one to Miyyah for inspiring me with her rendition of vanilla orchids. And thirdly, Namizam Muda, for planting the beehive idea :) I had been groping in the dark about how to start this and then came his piece, with which things just went on falling in place :)

Since its colourfulness made ME cheerful, I thought it only apt to enter it in Craty JC challenge #15 :)

Hope you all like it..............Adieu till the next piece :)

Happy Quilling

For a newly wed couple.....

Hello All,

A quick post for my new (and the only complete) project after coming to India.........a gift for a newly wed couple :) I finally get to vent my obsession with the Cheshire Cat, on my own terms..... :)

Bid Adieu

Hello All,

A quick post again...............my last order in Sweden. The person wanted a more filled up look compared to what Aadyaa offered, so I had to work out a scheme so that the monogram was well surrounded by colour :) The background is not black, it's a beautiful rich brown but then...........I am not lucky enough to get daylight!

I hope this leads to customer satisfaction and I leave Sweden on a happy and satisfied note! I will pack my quilling stuff away today (no more excuses Pritesh!) and take a good one month break from quilling now!!!!!!!! Bidding Adieu to Sweden :)

Happy Quilling

Quilled Fractal

Hello All,

This is a REAL quick post as I am off to Aractic Circle and Ice Hotel tomorrow.........I will spend my New Year in the northernmost part of the globe I can access :D

I have been obsessing about what to make for the Homyachok challenge theme. And with the limited time I had, I came up with this: Fractals (everyone was making snowflakes so I could not and did not want to make yet another snowflake)........for those who are not very familiar, fractals are geometric shapes, which on zooming will resemble the overall structure. So, no matter how much you zoom in, the shape remains the same. Frost is well known to form in fractal structures (phew, there goes the chemist in me!) :D


Here is my (extremely simple) version of a fractal.....I wish I had some more time to do justice to the pattern.........but somehow, Homyachok challenge means a lot to me and I am off to a place with no Internet, so I won't be able to make much there :)

Submitting this to Homyachok challenge with theme: Winter Patterns



Wishing you all a very happy, prosperous and creative 2012.............may we see more and more of fantastic quilling in the coming year


Take loads of care and stay warm :)


Happy Quilling

Berries and Flowers

I have always loved to blend elements, an experiment I started with my Dhonuk logo work. This time, I tried blending printing and quilling. The result is here :-)

A congratulations Frame

Curls and swirls were always my forte but never ever did I imagine that I will be able to make money out of Art I did (much to the chagrin of my mother) at the back of my school notebooks. I so vividly remember waiting to have mehendi/henna times so that I could further practice these curls and swirls :-) Here is my first completed (and dispatched) order :-)

I am particularly happy about this one because it was my concept from the beginning till the end. I wrote to poem myself (something I intend to continue, writing!) and then, quilled the surroundings. As always, here are the details:

Base: 80 gsm beige printing paper, 130 gsm black paper, cut and pasted on right side
Black 'stems': 300 gsm black chart paper
Black 'leaves': 130 gsm black paper
Flower: 80 gsm beige printing paper + 130 gsm black paper
Beige details: 80 gsm printing paper

I hope the person who ordered it receives it in good shape and likes it too :)

Happy Quilling :)
