Mice pencil topper for kids

Kids love small embellishments to be attached to their pencil back or pens. These make a wonderful return gifts too. The first one that I tried was mice toppers. they were so cute and my son grabbed them immediately one for him and and for two of his friends.


Trial of curtain holder

When there is flexibility for creativity, you can do anything in quilling is what I learnt after doing it for almost an year. A simple but useful piece of work in quilling is the curtain holder. But it also looks grand and elegant when it is matched aptly with the curtains.

Made two for my parent's home one with a flower and the other with a butterfly. To make the ring I used the biggest available size bangle and 10mm strips was wrapped around the bangle to make the curtain ring.

Quilled envelopes

Though I have not done a lot of quilled envelopes I did try a few designs and have gifted them too. The ones that I was able to capture a picture are the ones below. I am waiting to try my hands on ornate quilling on envelopes. Hope I get a chance to do soon.


Beaded sets in blue and white pearl

When my niece saw the beaded set with golden beads  she wanted me to make one for the silk paavadai she will be wearing the next day for the function. And she was very particular that it should accompany with a matching dangler too.

And when a cutie pie asks for such a wonderful piece, how can I say NO. And here is what I made for her.

One inch Ganesha

Ganesha is one of my favourite and making Ganesha image in any size comes quite easily for me. When I got an order to make 50 Ganeshas in green colour, I just made one small Ganesha in 1 inch which I named Bal Ganesha.

I made it using 3mm green colour strips.


Ganesha in leaf

I am always fascinated by Maavilai Thoranam. So I wanted to try one. And after making the leaf I felt it to be very plain. So I made a Ganesha to fit the leaf and I pasted on the leaf. Though ofcourse i plan to make a dozen such leaves and convert it to thoranam, currently I have not made more than one. But this Ganesha can also be used as single hangling too. 

Total number of green strips used are around 15. The leaf is made using combing technique.

Used 5 mm green strips to make the leaf and a contrast combination for the leaf. And when I shared the image to a customer, she too ordered one. So here are both the images of Ganesha on leaf.
