Strokes of Life!

One of the sunny days she decides to put on colors on canvas.


After touching both smooth and rough , she choose rough surface. I know its gonna be fantastic creation. Rough patches bring out the best in us.






When it come to choosing colors, all were included - red, blue, green, yellow, except black and white. Nothing exists in black and white here. We are in shades of grey. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.. sometimes happy , sometimes sad!







Two brushes - no 2 and no 12, one for broad strokes and one to put details. Like in monotonous broad years some days - bdays and anniversaries, some people- close and not so close to heart, add details. Some stand out like red dot in blue flower!







There comes the chaotic thoughts and careless days, and random nights.

She pauses in between and just look at it. One stroke hard, other adding flair.. lil more water for those trickling moments.. lil more color for those when clock stopped ticking!









She wud never look up.. not for my clicking sounds.. not for my approval. Life never stops. We get stuck in past or keep living in future. It just goes on. Not bothered she creates her masterpiece!

Pretty Aliens

The festival season at its full.. Me and Baani took Mr Maker's help to make day more entertaining and did something alien!

The material required is : Plastic spoons from last take away order and pipe cleaners.. and rest is our normal art supply - colors, glue, googly eyes, clay, and last but not least - anything chamkila or sequins for decorations, Baani's fav part!



Mr Maker took colored spoons but we believe in increasing the time to finish one art project so we took transparent spoons.. Baani colored them with her fav green and pink acrylic colors! Believe me, painting spoons is very therapeutic for me and Baani...She takes her own time perfecting the color and got totally transported to other world doing it..While i finished reading almost four chapters of my book and clicked several pictures in the meanwhile!!





Googly eyes are the most interesting of art material.. it suddenly turns the spoon or cotton ball or anything into a funny face! And then u can be at your creative best with these thin, fat, fluffy, bristly brush cleaners. Rolling them around the neck of spoon and we get alien arms.. i suggested Baani to make more than two arms and different sizes arms, and she starts her questioning spree - why does aliens have more arms, why does octopus have 8 arms, why different colors, why birds flap wings...and so on...  i thought better to keep my mouth shut!

Aliens are ready except that we like our aliens to be dressy and lil decorated.. So put on glittery glue or the colored stones..whatever is more messy, more time consuming! :)

Make as many as u want..as many colors...keep them together or separate..or use as puppets to make stories!
