Pot painting


Just tried my hand in pot painting. Bought some pots made of terracota from the shops and used fabric paints to colour them.

Sun photo frame


This is a sun photo frame using paper folding. I used golden paper and folded each part and joined it to get the shape of a sun. Then pasted a photograph of my daughter at the back side.

Woollen mat


This mat is made using woollen threads. It requires a wooden frame with nails in it. Based on the shape of the frame namely, hexagon/square/rectangle, we can make this mat. We use wool in contrast colours to make it more attractive. The wool must be brought around the nails and once complete, make knots and cut it from the frame. The green one is a bigger mat which can be used for covering TV screens and in centre table.

Pen stand


My daughter made this pen stand using ice cream sticks. She made this beautiful flower using the remaining pieces cut from the ice cream sticks. Applied glitter and painted it.

Agarbathi stand




I started doing this after getting fascinated with Tanjore painting. I was thinking to do something different and learnt this. As a beginner in Tanjore painting, this came out really well more than I expected. The sides of the stand are done with any creative designs.
