Turmeric Ganesh for Vinayaka Chathurthi -2015

This year, Eco-Friendly Ganesh took his shape from turmeric (Pasupu in Telugu, Haldi in Hindi).
Belly part is made of Wood Apple (Velakkaya) and rest is turmeric and kumkum for red colored coating.

I want to make something quilled for my 2-yr old daughter. These dolls are for her. The yellow one she named after her, AMULYA. She loves it and says 'Its me Its me...'

Chalk Piece Carvings

Chalk Piece Carvings..


I have done these two pieces of chalk carvings to gift my husband (Venu Gopal) on his birthday. I started carving chalks long back but could not preserve photos.

I like miniature carving. In my opinion, this teaches us patience, improves our concentration and sharpens our detailing skill. I try to do some more and post them here.
