Clay Pot Painting

My next Create-o is an up cycling of a clay pot that we had bought for our house warming puja.
A clay pot full of water mounted on a bed of rice, with some fresh mango leaves and a coconut on top of the pot is generally kept outside the door during the ceremony. The whole set up symbolises mother earth ,water,food,life and holiness.It is an important part of a Hindu puja.
After the puja the pot was of no use at all and I thought of turning it into my next project.
I used traditional red, golden and yellow colour, took inspiration from the ancient warli art and rajasthani mirror work to give the pot an altogether new look.

The Blue Beaded Mobile Pouch

I I love the peacock blue color !!! What better could I have "Creato" with a  piece of  silk cloth which I found as a part of my dress material. I chose a red border contrast to it and few colorful beads and stones that went well with it. And there we go!!! An Elegant blue beaded Mobile Pouch-My first Creato.
