Fabric Jewelry

Recently, I have started making jewelry with beads that I fabricate using my very own silk and cotton sari materials. I have come up with my own technique that allows to roll the beads without using glue. The beads come out soft. I combine them with pendants, crystal and metal beads to make one of a kind necklaces. They are  now available in my Etsy shop.

Travel Journals!

Travelling has been on my mind lately as I will be travelling abroad for more than 3 weeks, starting this Friday, first to the U.K and then to India.  As I was putting together a travel journal for myself, I made a few for my shop too. These are more like kits. Each travel kit has two mini jotters, one matchbook jotter, an envelope and postcard from David Sibley's backyard birds collection. All these goodies are packed in a folder made with an old atlas map page. I made five of them and all of them are available here. I really love how these have turned out!

Illustrated Recipe with Yoga Art

I created this illustration of my original recipe for They Draw and Cook a few months ago.(You will find the full step-by-step instructions with photos here  I finally got around to creating a print version for sale in my Etsy shop. This is the first time I have done an illustrated recipe and combining my signature yoga art with vegetarian cooking and it is an exciting new path. I hope to do more.

How Does One Get to Carnegie Hall

How does one get to Carnegie Hall? According to urban legend the answer is "practice, practice, practice". Of course, talent and ambition help too. Elephant Lochanadevi practicing her standing balance is my submission to this week's Illustration Friday theme "Talent".
