Wedding return gifts...
We received an order of making 100 bags ( bags containing haldi-kumkum, rice, betel nut ) for a wedding ceremony . An offering of this bag and a gift was made to all married women attending the ceremony. It is a ritual performed to signify her marital status.
We came up with an idea of making dolls using thin plastic bags and filling rice for the body and betel nut for the head. These sections were tied using rubber bands and were covered later with some ribbons and lace. Other details were completed using fabric colours. We used stickers (bindis) for eyes and lips. Hope you like them.

3D Quilling-Miniature Plants
Hellooo....It's been long since I have posted on my blog. I was busy with some personal issues and was unwell. I kept myselves busy with crafts to ease stress and boost my confidence during this phase. Finally, everything's all well now ...
I made some very simple miniature plants. One of them was a gift to my friend while the others for an order that we received.
Simple is beautiful!

Quilled Birds
I had mentioned about these quilled birds in my last post. I fell in love with these cuties when I saw the pictures and the video here. This you tube video made it a lot easier. I have not yet decided how I would put these to use. I can make a mobile or may be.. frame it .
I was in such a hurry to try making one of these that I literally used a torn grocery plastic bag ,a small piece of thermocol sheet as the base and drew the sketch as quickly as I could. Look at the last picture ( very untidy). I was really excited when the first one was done and made 3 more.
My husband loved them too!
