Howdy Y'all...:)

Congrats Laura on getting back to work..:) Artoo will soon get used to daycare, so dont worry...mine cried for a whole month! I know it isnt easy but it does get better..:) And all the very best for his tonsil op. Will pray for you both...:)

This time the Diva's Challenge helped me to use a few patterns Ive never used before. So thank you Laura for this Challenge...:) Im not very happy with the outcome - yeah nothing new there - just that my morning didnt begin too well. I cant say Ive given my 100% to this Challenge but I was determined to post this today as Holidays begin from tomorrow. I live in the Middle East and we begin EID Holidays starting tomorrow....:)

So here it is folks.....:) Ive used Henna Drum, Echoism, Embellish, Brayd & ofcourse my lovely Copada!..:)

Zendala Dare # 28

I had decided to begin using Tangle Patterns I had not used before. So for this week's Zendala Dare, Ive experimented with "Oke" and ofcourse one of my Fav's "Copada". When I saw the template I immediately thought "how lovely to use "Purk",  and then saw Erin had used it in her tile..:) So decided to use Purk another time around...:)

And here is my Entry for the week.....:)

Cheers....:)

Acrylics - Krsna & Trees

I wasnt very happy with my first rendering of Krsna on Canvas. It was my first time. So I tried the same picture all over again and this time around used different colors.

I also attended a Workshop on Acrylics - My first workshop in Acrylics - and am posting the result of that too. I will be using the same techniques to create more pieces in the future.

Diva's Challenge # 91

Hello fellow artistes, friends, and Laura,

Every week when I look up the Challenge posted by the Diva, my mind is normally filled with questions on which tangle to use and try to use a tangle Ive never used. And most times I end up using ones Im very comfy with and love - like Featherfall or Mooka.

This time around, reading through the post, I was at first kicking myself for not having read a bit between the lines. Laura does write about Artoo's frequent trips to the hospital but I had put it down to a toddler who was either just very hyper enough to fall sick often or one who just had a lil weak immune system, one which most kids have at that age and gets better over time.

But today reading about Artoo's condition, I must say I was moved to tears. For a Mother her child is a gift. And Laura I applaud your courage and strength of mind and will power. You juggle being a wife, artist, mother and a whole set of roles and yet in every picture you have posted that Ive seen till date I see a smiling and happy face....:)

So yes, despite this Challenge being about Beads of Courage I took just the word COURAGE. Laura's 'Courage' to withstand all this, Artoo's 'Courage' in battling a disorder and yet being a naughty lil imp like any other kid. I loved seeing his photographs with food all over his face....:) So cute...:)

I did a search of Google and came up with a Symbol that means Courage / Bravery in Japanese. And have incorporated tangles into it. Now there are no beads though I have used 'SEZ', 'Printemps' and my all time favorite "Featherfall". Sez & Printemps do have a beady effect and featherfall to symbolize the light feather like feeling in the heart. One can see it in some pictures of the kids. So light hearted and free of tension and worry! And therefore here is to Artoo & Laura....:) I do hope you like it Laura. :)

God Bless U Artoo - U are a Star! :)
