Jhumka inside an elongated circle

I love to try a few contemplating designs. When I purchased my own border buddy, I was so thrilled to make thick outer circles, squares and triangles and to pinch them to make other shapes. The wood and red colour compliment each other and I was so excited to make a jhumka that is struck to an elongated circle. My friend's daughter fell in love with this design and she grabbed it without even saying another word. Some how I didnot get a chance to make another one of the same design. I made it with a stud too so that the stud could also be worn separately.

Black Kada with Stone Chain

Black Kada type bangle in 2.8 size with stone chain and golden thread decoration. This was gifted by a sister to younger sister. These bangles especially in black are always a big hit.

Black Kada with Pearl chain

When I started doing black kada type bangles, I was asked me to make them again and again. And here is one such black beauty kada with pearl chain and golden thread decoration. A simple design but will look grand when worn. Goes well with salwars as well as sarees. These bangles are normally worn in single hand and watch is worn in the other.

Tealight candle decorations with quilled Roses

Not just me but many people loved the quilled roses and thus I made quilled tea light candle decors with quilled roses. Arranging them in different patterns was quite an intersting and exciting job and I really fell in love with them.

But I realized that these rose tealight candles cannot be made as stand alone pieces so I had struck them to a base.

The roses in the above picture is decorated with glitter glue after sticking it to the base. This type of square arrangement definitely shows some space in between and the base is clearly visible. (It will be good if the base is painted).

The arrangement of colours are made to contemplate each other. The number of roses used are many as a close arrangement of them was planned. The centre base is made of 5 mm strips so that the tealight candle is placed on a bit level higher and the flame is also clearly visible.

This is made of 2 diferent sizes of strips the bigger roses are of 10mm and the smaller ones are made using 5 mm strips. The smaller roses are two tone strips. The leaves are made using combing technique.The decor on top of the roses and the centre portion is made using 3D cone.

The CD is decorated with 3D outliner colours to match the roses that are placed. The roses are made of dual tone strips and mettalic strips. All are 5 mm strips. 

Tea light Candle decoration in Quilling

One of the loveliest gifting or return gift option for festivals like Navarathri or Deepavali is quilled Tea light candle decoration. I just tried a simple design initially and was so happy with the outcome. The beauty part of these tea light candle decorations are they can be made either stand alone or can be placed on a waste or unused CD or on a square surface.

The stand alone pieces can also be used as a simple hanging or table decors. These can also be used to decorate Aarathi plates.

Both the designs shown below are made using 7 mm strips. And a loose teardrop shaped design was made. The centre portion is a thick circle made with the same 7 mm strip which was circled around a tealight candle so that it could fit in exactly.
