NEW YEAR

Today is the last day of the year, looking back I wonder how many people would rewind their resolutions , targets, and deadlines etc. Me,though  not much in to all these  new year resolution thing, but  not critical about it either. This year I also join the band wagon of these resolution takers because of two reasons. Before my surgery  I was really really busy with art classes and  work shops. But for the last two years I sort of became lethargic may be thanks to my eighteen month  recuperation period. Last year I started doing these air dry clay flowers which kept me busy a while. Now I want to start my classes again like old times, for that I  know  I need new samples and projects especially in cold porcelain which is my favourite medium. So I take  not an exact   new year resolution but a sincere mental note to work for at least two hours apart from other schedule.  Let me wait and see as to how far it works out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I made lot of strawberries whenever I could because it will be an ideal gift always and liked by every one. Earlier I would not take photos of each one of my work, but starting my own blog made me change my practice. Hence a new small strawberry fruits arranged in a small basket. The basket which is not visible is made of cold porcelain.

AIR DRY CLAY FLOWERS ROSE

I have made these roses some time back. I found it difficult to do the petals of same size initially, I have wasted some clay also in the process. But after two three attempts I am able to do better. Here I have arranged the roses with some filler flowers in a flat dish.
