My Braid Story

I remember having thick, shoulder length and lustrous curly hairs when I was a kid. My hair were so curly that after washing and drying, all my hairs used to gather over my head instead of flowing down. My mother used to oil them and braid them in tight braids, to appease my grandfather as he used to find my gathered hair untidy. Over the years, they lost curls and became wavy (not sure of the reasons but too much of tight braids must have worked their magic) and also became thinner and frizzy.

Air Dry Clay Key Chain

I bought a package of air dry clay from an online store along with some plastic modelling tools. Weekend went into trying this new craft(first attempt). Though I wanted white colored clay, I got a terracota one, never mind :-). 

Bookmarks

I collect stuff  thinking I can reuse that later. Sometimes it is quite difficult to keep them stored neatly as I do not have much storage space(perils of staying in a rented house) but I am unable to throw it away. And when this crafty urge appears, then I really feel happy to have all this around.

Made these bookmarks from old wedding invitation cards which I was having for last 7-8 years.

Earlier I had made some money envelopes also using wedding cards(here).

Another Quilled Greeting Card

Quilled cards are my latest obsession. Whenever I need to make one, I think of nothing but quilling. Here is my second attempt at it:

Blog Award

I received this versatile blogger award from Ranjana:

Quilling on Greeting Card

A quick post on recently made greeting card using paper quilling. I love this art form as it gives a 3D effect to your design and can be done easily. Take a look:
