Photoshop Art -1

First time this year I got an opportunity to put my Photoshop skills to support theatre group at Melbourne….Thanks to Mandar Vaidya..who gave me the opportunity to be part of the play by using my skills…

 Marathi Mandal Victoria this year presented a Marathi play “Suryachi Pilley” for which I created the poster of this Old Man… The play required photo of an old man who has some resemblance to one of the actor in the play… so I transformed one of the actor’s photo (below) to look like old man….

 

The play also required photo of an old traditional Maharastrian Lady. After frustating efforts of searching for a decent size photo on all search engines, we decided to take some help from Photoshop!Borrowed this picture from some free website…and transformed her in to an old lady! (Sinister thing to do to a bridal photo :) )
 

  Let me know if you have any suggestions or improvements for me …

Baby Hamper bag ----- made from recycled articles

Setting up kids nursery room was a great way of  motivating myself to come-up with new craft projects.... we would keep window shopping for few days and once we liked any product ... we would brainstorm to replicate that concept with our personal touch by recycling items found in our home.... 

This baby hamper bag is result of such brainstorming.... we used an old quilt cover and plastic hanger from some previous gift packagings and some Sponge (base) and some touch buttons :D...... with some design pattern trials we made this lovely creations....that we still use :)

Traditional Baby Clothes - Sewing Project

My mum loves sewing all the traditional clothes for our baby, as she did for us..... continuation of tradition :D

 

She made these beautiful Kunchies (traditional head gear for newborn babies) which are given to the newborn babies on special occasions and are made of pure silk with border print and lined with pure cotton.

Kunchi

Since in Oz my mum came across these baby singlets which were more comfortable to wear for babies than the traditional cotton wear from India ( purely due to seasonal differences).  She decided to sew a similar singlet with an old cloth lying in her sewing kit but it lacks the professional finishing but was good enough for my daughter.

Quilted baby animal's Noah's Arc

Our Little Girl received these quilts and hats as gift -All made of soft Cotton flanelle material

In Our second project we decided to experiment with the technique of preserving old Heirloom fabrics through Quilting process.

 We got inspired by the art of preserving old family heirloom or sweaters as tradition by quilting them.... hence we used an old pure cotton 9 yard saree as filling for this quilt.... So our girl has a piece of history that belongs to her great grandma ..which hopefully she will treasure..... The fabric used for quilting the design and covering is also from similar heirloom clothes

used an image from old greting card

This is a heritage heirloom quilt

Just crocheted all the left over wool to make this hippie style baby afghan
