Where does Aluminium Foil belong?

‘Spring ahead!’ What exactly does this mean? No, no technically we all know what this means. That’s not what I’m talking about. Have you ever wondered that these 2 words could metaphorically and symbolically represent so many different things (Insert mind boggled expression here)! What better way to begin spring than by finding out new uses of age-old items. For me it was trying to find out a new way to use a boring household item artistically. I picked our good ol’ friend the ‘aluminium foil’ or ‘wrap’ for this challenge. So where does aluminium foil belong? If you said… Read More

Curiouser and curiouser – MMA to Watercolors

Are you curiouser and curiouser about things in your creative life? New things, old things, all things? Yes? No? Don’t know? So I was super curious to know how my 3D art would look in watercolor. So guess what I did??? Guess, guess… I tried it out silly. (Insert loud laughter here – were you expecting some magical answer?) Tadaaaaaaa – Entry of ‘Watercolors’ – Thomp thomp thomp (that’s just the sound I think the water colors would make if they were making a grandiose entry) . Anyways it was a little less grandiose than that. I got them from… Read More

The MMA game

“Mixed Media” is like a mystery novel. You kinda know what it’s going to look like but you cannot be sure till the end. Besides it’s sooooo forgiving too. If you mess up, get some gesso and cover ‘er up! Nobody will find out – like ever! I’m super excited about today’s post. This one took me foreverrrrrrrr to create!!! But I think it will be totally worth it. I got a gazillion pictures of it so that you didn’t even miss a teeny-meeny brush stroke. Anyways, I also got into a silly mood while creating this. So we’re going… Read More

How to get in the zone

There are times in our lives when everything seems to flow perfectly – our work, our relationships our hobbies, everything! And then there are times when it’s a complete cacophony inside and outside our heads. Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh…… I bet you can relate to this. Let me enunciate with an example. Imagine these 2 scenarios where you are driving down a road from point A to point B. – In one case, the road is smooth and the driving is easy and effortless. – In the other case you encounter potholes, rocks and you’re constantly braking and maneuvering and it’s a super… Read More

Owl Always Love You (batting eyelashes)

For the past few weeks I’ve been going about my day and this thought has been gently poking me – “Let’s get some mixed media done, let’s get some mixed media done!” (Mixed media is a form of art where you can use a range of different mediums like crayon, water-color, ink, clay, gesso, decoupage, acrylics etc all at the same time. Now that’s a treat!) I ignored the thought. Mixed media! (insert OMG expression here) I don’t have time! I DON’T HAVE TIME! I don’t have time right now, silly thought. Too much to do already.” (Mixed media projects… Read More

Play with clay

Have you ever thought about a time machine? Let’s pretend for a second that we had a time machine. Would you consider going back in time? (I know, I know some of you nerds already want to debate with me about the nitty gritty of this time travel concept. But no, thank-you. We’ll find a separate tea-party to discuss it!) Picture this scenario. You’re going about your merry life hopping and skipping along. It’s a perfectly beautiful day. The sun is shining bright. You have on your best outfit. You’re humming along lost in thought. And then bam, you step… Read More

The K-I-S-S Concept

Do you guys know what K-I-S-S is all about? NO, NO, NO!!! It’s not what you’re thinking! KISS is an acronym for ‘Keep it Straight and Simple’ i.e. K-I-S-S. Pretty simple – ha. So what does it really mean! (Nope, I did not make up that brilliant acronym. And I have no idea who did. But I like it.) A little while ago I was contemplating on what to write about. I started with 0 ideas and before I realized my brain had gone a million miles a minute: with big brushes and paints and canvases and clay and I… Read More

How to remove white page anxiety

Has this ever happened to you? – You don’t know what to put down on paper – You think that you don’t have the skill to draw whatever you want – You get trapped in a loop of doing nothing at all as a result – Your art and craft supplies are all sitting boxed up – You have ummmm white page anxiety….. If you answered yes to any of the above then…. Stop! Yes, yes you. Stop doing what you are doing right now. Take a deep breath….And one more. Maybe one more. Now look up above you. Look… Read More
