Air Dry Clay Flowers

Summer is in full swing and I decided to rearrange my Cold Porcelain flowers in a white vase.There are double layered poppies , yellow, pink roses and buds. Even without foliage they make a pretty picture.Cold Porcelain is also known as Air Dry Clay.

I added some artificial foliage to the arrangement to give it fullness and contrast.
Generally loose Cold Porcelain flower sticks are sold with artificial foliage as it is more flexible and can be rearranged according to one's choice. Cold Porcelain flowers and leaves are used when the flower arrangement is fixed on a base and cannot be rearranged.Keep watching!

Candles

Candle making is one of my favourite hobbies,I am glad I took it up seriously and started my popular candle making classes.Here are a few of my beauties!!

Beautifully decorated candles lend a festive ambience and are much appreciated!

Decorative Candles make great gifts and are used as show pieces though they burn like any other candle.

Floating aroma candles are in demand round the year and can be found in spas, hotels, events as well as homes.Hot sellers at Diwali Melas!

There are more candles and candle making tutorials in my blog about candles, have a look!

Fabric Painting

Fabric Painting really brightens up any plain fabric quite easily and one can personalise it too.Long ago I had painted a favourite cartoon character for a child's bedsheet with fabric colors and it was much appreciated!
Now I have used decorative painting techniques and one stroke painting for this bedsheet and was able to complete it quite fast.
I could not find a proper bedsheet pattern and so did it freehand.Maybe the next one will be more professional!
The bedsheet is a readymade one so it was easy. Sometimes a frame is recommended for fabric painting but I find it pretty uncomfortable to hold the frame with one hand and paint with the other like embroidery!
I have written a short bedsheet painting tutorial in my other blog.
