Paper

I had this origami ball in mind since March 2011. And finally during the summer break i got time to actually try it out. Here is some of the origami that i indulged it.









Origami never fails to fascinate me. The fact that no glue/staple/tape is used to make such a wonderful piece of art is simply overwhelming.

Wallet cum key chain.

During my looong break i indulged myself in macrame and origami yet again.
I always wanted to make a macrame wallet where i can slide in my notes straight in. So i tried one and made a final one in black. Ria wanted one so one in red for her. The red one was just perfect.

Wallet out of synthetic threads with attached key chain 



Easy to sliding in the money

Sometimes it happens that we want to go down for a little while and do not feel like carrying our bulky ring of keys.That is when we can always attach only the house keys/required keys, have some money inside the wallet and we are ready to go!!!




The red one has a neater and lean look and I love it!



I just love the beads!!

Origami Flowers

Origami is another activity that has always attracted me. The fact that all the objects/pieces are made of paper without the use of glue/tape/stapler still amazes me.I remember how i use to buy the origami books during my younger days and try making different objects by following the instructions religiously.

During my NAFA days, once when i was very stressed, i happen to come across the origami site and all my childhood memories flashed in front of me. During that time i made origami flowers (it was a great stress reliever) and gifted them to my roommate. Now they very conveniently stand in the flower holder between our beds.:)

During my gradshow, i wanted to give my lecturers a token of 'thankyou teacher' for their continuous guidance and support all through the three years. I LOVE NAFA 3d dept lecturers, they guide the students through thick and thin. They may be hard on you but at the end of the day, they are with you. SO i made a collection of flowers and gave one to each of them along with a thankyou card :)
