It has been a long time ...

I have not uploaded any of my creative work for a long time. Since, I post my work on Instagram, I haven't been using the camera to take the photos to post on my blog.

Finally, I figured out how to upload photos from phone to blogger. :) There's a quite a lot I can share... yay !

I have been experimenting with collage/torn paper art, and recently tried incorporating fabric to my mixed media art.

These are some of my recent attempts.

Almost end of the year ...

Recently, I did some natural dyeing. I used pomegranate skins, blueberry, avocado skins and spinach and celery.

Fabric pieces are all cotton, and has a small woven design on it. I am not sure yet, what I want to make out them. I am pleased with the colours.

Happy Holidays !!!

Best wishes for 2022!

I have not posted any of creative pieces for a quite long time. My camera battery stopped working and I was not able to fix the problem. I kept postponing getting it fixed(specially with all Covid restrictions) and finally managed to get it work( i think)

I have been keeping busy with bit of creative work.

Gustav Klimt inspired

Henry Matisse's blue willow was the reference for this collage/applique.

Still life collage/applique

Another collage/applique "red scarf"

Couple of Modigliani art in running stitch

I do love, how the both ladies turned out. My eyes needed a rest after so many tiny stitches. And, I had got new glasses :)

I hope you are well and safe,

Thank you for stopping by,

Bit of August..

August went by, I did couple of projects. Both had lots and lots of stitches :)

This portrait inspired by painting of artist Amedeo Modigliani. I love his style of painting. This my attempt to create the same in a different medium. this measures approx. 8x12. It turned out better than I thought it would be. I have sketched few more to try.

Things I did in June....

Inspiration and, my interpretation of Gustav Klimt - The Kiss

I am pleased with my effort here.

Two small collage/applique pieces.

as my guide for both, I used impressionist artist Claude Monet 's - Waterlilies and Glass with Peaches.

This again is my interpterion of the famous painting by Johannes Vermeer's - The Girl with a Pearl Earing

What you think of it?

I still have one big project which is almost at its end. Hopefully I can be motived to finish it soon. :)

Thank you for stopping by,

Hope you are enjoying the warm weather..

Quiet weekend

First day of spring ......

A very BIG thank you for all the front-line workers who are working tirelessly to keep us safe, at this critical time.

Past few days staying home from work, I had time to work on my creative pieces. I bought few tee shirts from the thrift store which I cut into strips, they add a different texture. I am also adding pieces of velvet,felt and other thick yarn.

quiet moment....the new normal

Thank you for stopping by,

till next time

Learning something new...

first piece

While browsing you-tube I came across rug hooking videos and, several tutorials (not many left hand ones though) later I made my first small piece.

For my second piece, I sketched a more detailed pattern. I am experimenting with different types of textures. So far, I have used bits and pieces of yarn, felt, velvet and, t-shirt material.
