Imagine

In past few years we have been bringing eco-friendly Ganesha to our home. I have recently shifted to a new place and was not sure that on this Ganesh Chaturthi I would be able to find one. So I decided to make one my self. I got some terracotta clay from near by art and craft shop. And with help of this you tube video made my own Ganpati.

My son's latest obsession is now a days "owls". So I decided to make a cushion for him. I got some  old cloth and packaging sponge and got my thread and needles out and sewed this one.

A gift to my husband on our 7th anniversary to prevent any scratching of the itch. Based on a similar painting he liked at Ikea. Watercolors on paper, with parts of it traced from a snapshot of the original painting . I used the PC screen as the trace board and managed an accurate version. After that, I had to fill in the colors. Interesting feature: I was stumped on how to achieve the2w exact teal color "pop-art" background- what colors do I mix in what proportion? My IT training kicked in: I opened the Windows color palette, located the color I needed, saw the RGB mix and mixed  the actual R, G and B colors in the same proportion...and it worked!
