Its me



Really I'm not a one project kind of person - I like to have numerous projects on the go at any one time, to be picked up and worked on as time and desire takes hold. Currently I have on the go :

Small pineapple purse


Another pineapple purse on the go


White shawl on the needles

Pineapple squares for the table cloth



mom's dress material

 .., and I have a long way to go) a ripple blanket for winter bed of my MOM which was started a 9 months ago and worked on slowly and which is now having the edgings on   it so will be finished very, very soon, and two cotton dresses of  summer clothing for MOM in various stages of being made/drafted/cut/sewn.

This week with the other members of Ngo I decided to give demo on plarn making (with poly bags and old clothing). Who doesn’t love to use the polybags and old dresses for second life.to use the used items again and again is eco-friendly way of living and will protect our mother earth by lightening the burden of filth on it

Just dress-up your home ....with these lights and flowers





 Diwali illuminations in 2010
The warm glow of tiny lights, invigorating fragrance of gainda. I always  love this part of the year. The weather remains beautiful. My tiny balcony garden used to burst  with golden yellow marigolds.

In the previous post i talked about the street artists under the post on  रंगोली
 this post is about those artists ( Edgar Mueller, Julian Beever, Kurt Wenner, Manfred Stader, and Eduardo Rolero) i talked about in the post cited above

 Edgar Müller

 Edgar Müller was born in Mülheim/Ruhr on 10 July 1968, and grew up in the rural city of Straelen on the western edge of Germany. His fascination with painting began in his childhood, with paintings of rural scenes of Straelen. Around the age of 25, Müller decided to devote himself completely to street painting. He traveled all over Europe, making a living with his transitory art.

  Julian Beever

Manfred Stader began street painting, pavement art during his art studies at the famous Städel Artschool in Frankfurt, at the beginning of the 1980s and in 1985 he already became one of the few master street painters.

 Kurt Wenner
 Kurt Wenner was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and boasts to be the inventor of three-dimensional pastel drawings. He produced his first commissioned mural at the age of sixteen, and by seventeen was earning his living as a graphic artist. He attended both Rhode Island School of Design and Art Center College of Design. According to his website, 3D Pavement Artists, 3D Sidewalk Artists, and 3D Chalk artists can all trace the roots of their work back to the street art of Rome in 1982, where Kurt Wenner transformed the complex geometry of Classical Italian Architecture into a new form of Popular Art. Whether they are called Street Paintings, Chalk Paintings, Sidewalk Paintings or pavement art, if they have a three-dimensional illusion they can be traced back to Kurt Wenner pastel drawings.
