Beautiful Skies….
The whole sky today was a demo of happiness & hope. I was thrilled to see the rainbow after so many years. The beautiful sunset with purples, reds and yellows excited the synaptic nerves of my brain , so I jus ran back & grabbed my camera for a few shots hoping that the resulting pics would be atlest half as pretty as the real thing………..

Fighting Boredom
Like all children my little princess Nandika also gets bored easily. As a mom I always think it is the parents duty to overcome this boredom by channelising their energy in the right direction.
Being an ardent Art & Craft lover I find this is the most suitable time to let my little one to plunge in this pool of immense joy- the world of creativity
These days we’ve been taken over by a new hobby- The Japanese art of paper folding or Origami. Origami is no less than a magic for Nandika- when few folds by her little hands transform a plain paper into a 2D/3D objects d’ art.
Few colorful sheets & some good references are enough to persue this hobby……….
Look what I did with a leaf
“ Autumn is the second spring where every leaf is a flower”- Albert Camus.
What could be more quintessentially creative than turning leaves into a piece of art. My daughter and I played a litle more these summer mornings
and went around collecting lots of beautiful leaves of varied shapes n textures to make a leaf collage for her summer project.
Since my school days I’ve always been very fond of greens , collecting beautiful leaves n then pressing them in encyclopedias was one of my favourite activity which faded away with time.
'Leaf Man’ by Louis Ehlert revived my hobby n inspired me to make some leafy creations.
Amazing leaf art by Japanese artist Kazuo Akasaki was also a great source of inspiration.
