Mad about Chocolates...

Good morning my dear lovelies..

Its December - The month of holidays, month of celebrations.. 
Lots of love and so many chocolates...
I am totally mad about chocolates, and I am sure there are so many like me " Mad about Chocolate"

"Giving chocolate to others is an intimate form of communication, a sharing of deep, dark secrets.." 
 (Milton Zelman, publisher of "Chocolate News" )

It was just a thought to crate something in the sweetest colors.. Combining some browns..
And this is what I made..


The second one has touch of turquoise. It was my first attempt putting them together, but these two colors works really well in every time.. 


Hope you like my work.. Don't forget to check more work updates on my "Facebook Page"

Stay warm and have Happy Holidays!!

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.

Orchid and Humming bird polymer clay necklace with ombre beads, abs challenge

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.

Inspirations..

  Some inspirations helps artist to enhance work. 

Art bead Scene's blog, always inspires me every month to create something very unique.

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.

How to take professional looking Jewelry or Product photo - DIY - Photo-box

If you are selling your products on-line, its pretty obvious that you have to take good pictures of your products, if you want to stay in the race.

Professional looking pictures are the key thing to attract many visitors and buyers.
If you can take a good, a decent looking, that explains your product more then  your words.

Yes, you need a professional photo box / a light box /  or a photo studio kit.

Tutorial, DIY, Flower Earrings, Light -box, Photo-box, step by step, how to, simple , easy, cheap idea, photography, jewelry photo

Most of the people has budget problem, and its a pretty obvious that many would not prefer to spend hundreds of dollars for those fancy kits.

To solve this problem I have found my own way, and after seeing above picture , my "Cherry blossom Zumka earrings" you will be surprised that I was able to take such a good picture without spending any extra penny!!

I have seen many light-box tutorial videos, indeed they are cheaper then Fancy kits, and has good functionality. But to make them you need a cardboard box, white- fabric / t-shirt and three external lamps.. 

But In my version of photo-box I have cut down cost of white fabric / t-shirt and external lamps..

I made my photo-box with recycle box, parchment paper from my kitchen, scotch tape.
And for back-ground I used regular printer paper. 

Tutorial, DIY, Flower Earrings, Light -box, Photo-box, step by step, how to, simple , easy, cheap idea, photography, jewelry photo

My version of light-box works best in day-light so don't need any external / extra lights.
So the final cost comes to Zero. A very useful product made with regular household things.

I have made video that explains all the steps how to make this photo-box.


Hope this tutorial will help you to take good pictures of your jewelry and other product. 
If you have any comments or questions please feel free to write in the comment box.

Have a great day!!!

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" 
kurma, turtle, vishnu, krishna, polymer clay, handmade, necklace, green turtle, mitti, rachana saurabh

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??
