Rakshabandhan: The Bond Of Love

Rakshabandhan is a festival when sister ties a sacred thread on brother's wrist. Brother vows to protect her and sister showers her love and care on him. Tomorrow is Rakshabandhan (Rakhi) and this post is dedicated to all the sisters and brothers around the world.

"Good relationships are like needles of a clock, they only meet for sometime

but always stay connected"

I am happy that my siblings and I are like those clock needles. As kids, together we fought a lot, played a lot, enjoyed a lot, learnt a lot. Now we have grown up, live far away from each other and have our own family, but still we are connected, cherish those memories, always there for each other and that's a bliss.

Here are my quilled rakhis for my brother. You know how I love everything handmade.

I used different quilling techniques to make these rakhis.

Here is my platter full of love for my brother. Did you notice that golden lotus.....its made of pistachio shell during Diwali. I took it out just for Rakshabandhan.

Look how happy and calm my Buddha looks with this Lotus.

Wish all brothers and sisters a very happy, peaceful and memorable Rakshabandhan :)

It's Coffee Painting This Time

[If You like what you see here, don't forget to like my Facebook Page, Click Here.]

Let me tell you I am a true tea lover. So coffee just sits unused in my kitchen shelf and get a chance to come out only when some coffee lover guest pays visit :)

Few days ago when it was raining heavily I wanted to brew coffee for me and when I opened the coffee bottle I realized that coffee has gone bad :( I was about to throw it but suddenly my creative side woke up and told me to put it to some use. 

I had heard a few times about coffee painting, so decided to give it a try!!

Coffee painting in making........

I kept drawing few figures on drawing sheet until I got the result exactly the way I wanted. I drew meditating Buddha. Then I diluted coffee and started the mission :)

Here is a result. It turned out beautifully. 

Then I used some effects..........

It's looking even more beautiful with all the effects.

 This below one is my favorite!!

Here I would like to give one advice to my blog readers that before considering anything trash just think once. It's quite possible that you can put it to some good use :)

Peace...

I deeply apologize for going missing from this space.

No excuses. Just didn't have anything inspiring enough to blog about.

Have just returned from our trip to Ladakh. The face of peace appears before me time and again...

Hope to put together a post on oriental/buddhist influence in home decor soon:-)
