Blog Tour : Craft Decor

Hello Creative Folks…
After a long hiatus from blogging and social media, I am slowly coming back. Blogging till now is a special journey for me. It gives me opportunity to learn many new things, interact with many like minded people and explore new horizons. Before few days through this virtual world I came across a very creative person Priyanka from Navi Mumbai. She is an Architect by profession and I am an academician by profession, it is our love for art, craft and creativity, that brought us together. She shares her creativity in her blog Craft Decor. She loves to paint bottles like me. Let’s know more about her...


Hello Priyanka, would you like to share few words about you with the readers of When Creative Juices Flow…
Hi, I am Priyanka staying at New Mumbai. I always like to explore new types of crafts since childhood. I am interested in handmade crafts especially best out of waste. I am an architect by profession. Architecture has given me new vision which helps me in finished product, color combination, material selection etc.

Some of her decoupage bottles...
When did you find passion for painting bottles?
Unknowingly I had collected different types of glass bottles. So I thought of painting 1 bottle with glass paint, then another with acrylic paint. After trying decoupage on MDF trays thought of trying it on glass bottles. And it came up to my expectations. Now I am trying to explore more bottle decoration ideas.

Decoupage of MDF tray and Pencil Box..
When you thought of starting your own blog and what was your inspiration?
Every time being in search of new craft, I have collection of different types of articles which I made. While searching about craft tutorials, I came across this blog world. And then I decided to write a blog about my craft work. It’s best way to introduce your craft to other like minded people.

Decoupage on tin cans and now waste tin cans became beautiful pen stands...
Do you have any other passions or crafting hobby?
I like to try different types of crafts where ever I see/read. I have tried my hands on paper quilling, decoupage, knitting, pot decoration, paper flower making, glass painting, jewellery making, candle making, worli painting, fabric painting and now bottle painting/bottle decoupage.
Paper quilling on photo frames, envelops and cards...
 
Hope you like her work... I wish her luck from all of us (me and When Creative Juices Flow's viewers) To see more of her artworks, you can visit her Blog page: http://mycraftdecor.blogspot.in/
Don't forget to share your views about her work and do visit her blog too...

This Diwali....

Hello friends...
Hope you all had a great Diwali...I too had a great Diwali this year, as this time finally me and my in-laws got a chance to celebrate Diwali together. But still this time the festival of light remained a low key affair at my place. I was awfully busy till the big day and couldn't do as much as planned. I had two Diwali DIY posts and could only share one with you all. Sorry for another one, which is still lying as a draft. 

As I am already late, I don't want to become more late and here are some Diwali snippets from my home...
Sorry for the picture quality friends, first of all I am a novice photographer and this time in a hotchpotch the pictures are not as they should be.   

Entrance of my home...on the three days of Diwali...
This clay doll holding diyas is my favourite one and is with me from last few years..my heart never lets me bid adieu to this. So each year I give some touch up and use it.  
For Diwali decoration terracotta products are first preferred at my place and this is the time when we get maximum variety of these. 
 My handmade urli with some artificial lotus. 
 Indoor decoration was not much this time. 
Diwali is incomplete without some mouth watering delicacies..so they were made abundantly and my MIL is a big sport to me in preparing these. 

This was all about this Diwali *smiles*
Soon will take you all for my kitchen tour ............
