Midas Touch

Hello All,

I don't know how many of you have this tick, but I sure do. I have this truck loads of stuff that sometimes gets forgotten and relegated to a corner. And then, one fine day, I find it and go berserk! I try every possible craft with it1 :D Today's "refind" was my gold pen which is a treasured possession from Stockholm. Since I was anyway considering doing a pair of earrings with a terrific finish (after I found someone's picture on the Net where the design was way toooo similar to what I had made but only the finishing was 100 times better). The "Midas Touch" pen came in handy and I painted the town (ok ok, just the earrings :D) gold.......so here goes: Midas Touch :)

And ya, I was asked why I always have that one strip surrounding my entire earring? Reason: Sturdiness. I am a very mechanical engineering obsessed crafter. My earrings have to have that sturdiness element. Just a tight coil on top will come off in a snap and I can't bear to spoil my hard work because of that ONE weak link :)

Make cheesecake, recycle cheese-box :)

Hello All,

Ever since I made the cheesecake (recipe here), I had been eyeing the boxes in which the cream cheese came. And once Snehal announced her challenge, I grabbed the opportunity (I was due to make a box anyway, something I had been postponing). So, here it is, my entry to Snehal's challenge while I make a box for the bronze black earrings too :)

And here is a more complete look (top view, with the bronze black earrings in it and with my pearl bangles in it):

Bronze black paisley earrings

Hello All,

Once an order comes in, there starts a long process of digging deep into your brains for that ONE elusive idea which will fit snugly into your client's expectations. I got an order for bronze black earrings and this painstaking process of digging for an idea was shortened majorly by the client herself.

I think my most preferred clients are the ones who broadly know what they want and let me figure the rest out. The ones who know nothing make me spend a LOT of designing time! :D And the ones who know everything, well ummm.........discard designs after designs. So Pragyan, thanks a lot, for just suggesting the design and giving me the artists' license to figure the rest out! :) So, here I am, with bronze and black paisley earrings.........

Royal Lily tutorial

Hello All,

I am back with a tutorial for a lily that I made in my post.

I have ever since had people ask me how to make it, so here goes. It is 12:30 am here, so I won't write much text but I hope things will be clear from the images. Maybe, I will edit the text a bit later :-)

And this is my entry to Anything But a Card challenge and Make it Dimensional challenge! :-) I don't even know if I qualify! :)
