                         " i would like to paint the way a bird sings "



hi,

bird diary

           

             I want to sing like the birds sing ~ not worrying about who hears ~ or what they think ~❤️~ Rumi




hi,
few weeks ago i had started a new art journal specially for my birdies...i finally start filling it up...:)
didnt do much just a few pages....hardly getting any time...but take out time for my- ten- minutes- to- my -art -journal- ritual....it really makes me feel less guilty for spending so less a time on art....but sometimes life does take a very busy turn :)
but neways here are two pages from my bird diary...hope u guys love them (like me )..:)

if i could just fly like a bird :)

roses

hi everyone,

this week the rose obsession continues...i love making roses ..i made lots of them but i am sharing a few only...i hope u guys like them :)

project with kidoo 13 fairy garden

No child but must remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies. ~Robert Louis Stevenson, Essays in The Art of Writing

hi,

this one is for all mommies and everybody who has a little kid still residing inside them...make a fairy garden.
this week we...my lil girl and me..took upon us to make one fairy garden :)
its been on our mind for sometime...so finally we got down to it and it was super fun :)
it was a fun time so when we bought our supplies we didnt realise that we could have gone for bigger pot....that would have given us more space to be creative...but nevertheless this one is also looking pretty..atleast to our eyes ;)

our house has little lamps on side and white fence :)

 yes thats a broom...made by my lil girl....mommy surely keeps the house clean that proves it !!!!

next few faces

i made next few faces....and then collaged them on a single page of my art journal....:)

as per my resolution of going big this year...this week i made the first layer of my bouquet of flowers...i dont know how it`ll shape up in few days from now...but i am keeping my resolution...yeeee ;)

withered roses

                          

                                    What is lovely never dies, but passes into other loveliness.



hi everyone....
i dont know how i missed the pure beauty of dried roses ...i just did...
other day i was sitting in the room i paint...i had kept a few roses there...they had dried up...and i just saw them in different light....they looked prettier than before when they were fresh.
      i just oohed and aahed and couldnt think of a way to preserve them....then i just got a glass bottle and for now i have stored them in that...:)
i have kept the bottle on my table just to admire them every once in a while...and cant help myself from sharing them with u all ...i know u`ll be bowled over too by my dry roses :)

perfect heart...project with my kid 12

hi everyone...
     it was valentines week.....so had to make hearts....and amongst all the hearts that i made this one is my favourite because my lil girl and i made it together and had loads of fun making it...
 so we took a cotton cloth and did all fun stuff with it....stamped it...coloured it...doodled on it...spread inks on it....smeared our fingers and faces with colours ;)...but result was this happily smeared cloth.
  after all the hard work...i sewed a beautiful heart from it for the man of our the house;)  hope u guys like it :)

bird diaries

hi everyone,
   i had a new sketchbook....its a small one ....i had for a long time intended to start a separate sketchbook for my birdies...so here we are :)
so started of with this birdie page and also practised a little bit of lettering...i hope u guys like it :)

                             
                                     profiles of my birds in my mind ;)

oh yes i know my abc`s ;)

resolutely i follow my resolution of painting big ...my new year`s pledge....so i made this huge bouquet of flowers...i found nothing wrong in it...till i clicked a pic....and then i saw...the vase is tooo big for the flowers....do u think so too??....but it looks sooo pretty hanging in my small painting room...so i dont mind it much :) 

day 3 and 4

four days of making faces...and i am not really getting better...but yes more enthusiastic may be :) so here`s day 3 and day 4

                                                           day 3

                                                        day 4

day 2

day two of 29 faces....i  decided to practise small and then go big....so i had this piece of sheet lying somewhere in my stuff...its all folded and all...so thought i`ll make a face booklet kinda thing...and started on that...i`ll show u the sheet so u`ll get an idea


so at first i decided i`ll paint just one side..and one part at a time...but as i was writing this i thought why not both sides...there are six parts...so i guess i`ll soon have 12 miniature faces looking at me ;)
so here`s the face for day 2

i did everything i could to it...textured background,flowers,dots...everthing i love...still she didnt smile for me...i guess she feeling blue ;)
hope i make the next one laugh :)

29 faces

it was struggle....honestly...i was so excited to be a part of 29 faces...but clearly i have not practiced faces in months now...and i have lost my ability to make a decent face :(. yup after three futile and very bad attempts at drawing and painting faces,i have come up with this...not really good...but this was all i could muster on day one...hopefully i`ll be better in few days :)
