Orchid and Humming bird designs..

Happy Thanksgiving my dear lovelies..

Art bead scene's November challenge has a very interesting painting by Martin Johnson Heade,

Beautiful "Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds". Amazing color combination and a beautiful inspiration.

Being an artist I use my polymer clay as my canvas and colors to paint my version of the painting.

My orchid and humming bird pendent. I used polymer clay applique technique to achieve this pendent. For the background created a wood effect base and colored with pearl-ex powders, and then created polymer clay orchid and little humming bird.

Colors in the painting are just so beautiful, I thought not to miss any shade if the main colors, and so I created Ombre effect beads. 

And then I combined these two in a amazing necklace!!

My Orchid and humming bird necklace.

Another view..

My imaginations didn't stopped after making this stunning piece.

I created another necklace of Humming bird and Orchid..

This time a choker necklace.

A simple necklace were a bird is flying towards this flower.. I didn't add any color to this one and made like faux silver.. this way it has the simplicity and more uniqueness.

I hope you like my work inspired by ABS's November challenge.

Obsessed with the Clay embroidery technique..

Its been 5 years, I have started working with polymer clay.
So far I have tried every techniques in Polymer clay, but I know there are tones of new things to learn.. Its never ending.. Working with clay is fun!!

After my peacock collection, I have found my new love these days..

"Polymer clay Applique / Embroidery technique.".

In one line - I am working with tiny clay balls, and creating unique designs with a needle tool..

Previously I have created few designs with this technique, but my recent Pintrest numbers encouraged me to create many more. My two earrings designs - Blue mango and Pink on Purple has been pinned more then 40 times.. And this little thing encouraged me to create more with the embroidery designs..

Talking about Embroidery technique, My most favorite detailing piece was made for my client.. I still love colors and detailing of that gorgeous necklace.. Gorgeousness with the neon colors. I am not a big fan of neon colors but when I put all of them together, they didn't look that bad! A fun Summer necklace..

In my next post I'll share my recent work - My embroidery designs.

New obsession Polymer clay Embroidery / Applique technique.

Its a fact that making ethnic designs is my first love!

But I always work with other subjects, just for a new experiment and as a learning thing.

My previous obsession was my peacock cane, I made many beautiful pieces, and created my another whole collection. You just need something to inspire you..

I don't know what inspired me this time, but I am working on my polymer clay embroidery.

I an enjoying my work more while making these detailed pieces.

I started my journey of clay Embroidery with this customized necklace and earrings, and It turned out really well. 

And my next customized necklace was even gorgeous, with demand I made two version of it..

Both the designs with some neon Colors...

These days I am making beautiful earrings..

I have named this beautiful earrings - Kashmiri Embroidery earrings, it reminds me gorgeous thread work of Kashmir ( India)

These earrings I made for "Art Bead Scene'"s August challenge - "The Indian Rug".

It was fun making this beautiful pair with the color of the challenge's inspiration art work

 I made it with Polymer clay, Brass, Swarovski Crystals, Swarovski Rhinestones, Moss Agate.

So far it is my Fav. Beautiful inspiration and I hope, I did justice to the subject.

Hope you like my work.

My available work is listed on my Etsy shop.

Kurma Avatar inspired necklace - Vishnu's second incarnation

Right after I first made my First necklace on Vishnu's incarnation - Matsya Avatar, 

I was so curious to make a series on Vishnu's Incarnation.

I have already made two out of his 10 incarnation, Matsya the first, and Krishna the eight.

Now my eye was on second incarnation, "Kurma".

The Story of Kurma Avatar : During the "Samudra Manthan", as the mount Mandara began to sink down to the ocean, Lord Vishnu taking the form KURMA bore the entire mountain on his back.

Kurma means Turtle, and to create that as a necklace was a good challenge. IT has to look like Vishnu's incarnation and it also has to look good as a necklace..

Well, sharing my third necklace in Vishnu's Incarnation series. 

"Kurma Avatar" 

Vishnu's face pendent with turtle body.

For turtle, first I made Dome shaped hollow bead with my gold and green cane, then attached face and legs.

It took some three days to figure out and finish this pendent.

For the chain, I made Lotus beads. Lotus is a favorite flower of Lord Vishnu, and it was something came to my mind first. Then I added gold seed beads and green wood beads to complete it.

Here is the full necklace!

IT was really a fun project and a good test for my imaginations as-well. 

I am so happy the way I have created it.

So, what you think about this one??

And The goddess of illusion is even more magical.

A new attempt and a different approach to the designs of Choker necklace.

Krishna Designs

Hello my dear lovelies..

Everyday I am exploring Polymer clay, and everyday I am learning something new..

My random visit to a craft store surprised me with a push face mold..

And my first thought was my Love Krishna.

When I shared them on my Facebook page , people loved it so much and then I never stopped...

Sharing images of my few Krishna Designs

I named it Krishna-Mala..

With the details of Lotus and Peacock feather, the favorites of Lord Krishna..

This one I named "Shyam - Krishna Mala" 

Krishna is also knows as "Shyam" because of his darker skin tone.

It was not my thought, but one of my client asked me to make Krishna Earrings for her, 

in Dark Blue tone.. And after making it, I loved it too...
