Bottle Art



  These are some bottles painted using acrylic colours. It hardly took approximately 2 hours to complete one bottle.  Glass bottles were soaked in lukewarm water for 10-15min so that it becomes easy to peel off the label neatly.  These bottles were used to decorate my home and gift to my friends. More decorated bottles would be uploaded soon. #workgoingon...😅

silk thread bangles



These are some accessories made using silk thread. I learned this work from my mother. It is made by winding silk thread on bangles, hairbands, etc. in various designs matching various dress colour and designs.  It takes 20-30mins to finish a set of bangles. We can make earrings, bracelets, bangles, necklace and hairbands and further decorated with stones, beads, mirrors etc. It is a good way of recycling old plastic bangles, hairbands, etc. More posts of such work would be uploaded soon...

pencil colouring - tribal woman

This pencil colour painting was adopted from the dot art I saw on Internet. It depicts the life of tribal women. The various contrasting colours and simple designs of clothes and ornaments against her dark skin in a sunny background show how they keep themselves happy in spite of their poverty. Black pen was used instead of black pencil colour to give it a perfect look.

It's an owl made using black pen. #A tattoo

pen art goddess

This art was created using black ballpoint pen. It took a lot of time to complete because of the small circles, which is for highlighting the beauty of her ornaments. The design has been adopted from an old   mural painting from Kerala. The original work used various plant based colour dyes, mainly red and orange shades. However, I used only a black pen to complete this picture.
