Color motif on terracotta vase

Few months back my parents moved into a new apartment and my mother was looking for an exclusive item for her main door to welcome her guests. She tried different things to suit her taste but alas! nothing could satisfy her. One day we all were having tea together discussing what to land at her door-step. Suddenly my father suggests me to make something that could bring attention to all of our new visitors.

This time I choose a terracotta vase to paint color motif on it. Aadi, my son was so excited in doing and helping me through the process of making it for his grandma. He helped me in sandpapering making the surface smooth and clean. You won't believe the base coat of black color was done by him only. Isn't it exciting?

The next step was to draw color circles. It was difficult to draw all the circles on the base. Lots of experimentation done before choosing the right color combination.

Now since the vase is ready, it requires the perfect decoration. So I decided to go on with jute again. Some handmade jute flowers made the final product.

Here's Aadi, feeling proud to be framed with his "painted output". Now his craft is ready to welcoming his grandma's guests to her new home.

The other day I was in a relaxing mood by not trying to make new jewellery all the day. I was thinking of taking a day break from my usual schedule. Aadi, my only son, suggested me to pull down our family album to refresh his memory down the lane. So I was! After a while we both were dumped under a pile of albums. We started with our wedding album and Aadi was so excited to seeing his parents in such funny costumes. It went for an hour. Then gradually we moved to his birthdays, starting from his first birth anniversary towards his sixth. He was trying to find his new "avatar" in every frame he saw. His eyes were wide open to grasp his grown-up-stories step by step. We enjoyed the moment thoroughly.

Mother's Day Flower Gift Basket | How To Decor A Perfect Mother's Day Flower Bouquet

Mother's Day  is round the corner and this is a perfect flower bouquet for the event. Decorate with this flower basket and I'm sure she will surely love this simple and cute idea of gift. Let's start and show your  love to her! First I started with a bamboo basket and filled the inner base with foam rubber. Then painted with green acrylic paint. This foam rubber will hold the flower sticks in position. From a painted burlap sheet I cut some flower petals. Number of petals depend on how many you are going to use in one flower and number of flowers you are going to make. It varies due to size of the basket you use. I tied the petals together with thread so that it looks like a flower. I use galvanised wire to make the stick. This is how they look after finishing.
