Caterpillar Name Plate


I made a caterpillar name plate for my son’s room. My son loves pulling his caterpillar toy, I got an idea to make him more happy.Everytime time he enters his room there is a naughty giggle he makes, which is really cute.
I used felt paper to make this.


This is the toy

Handmade Terracotta Hanging Ganesha


This is a wall hanging Ganesha which I made from terracotta. It is difficult to sculpture in terracotta so I rolled the clay flat and cut the shape of Ganesha.Turned out quite well.

Decorative Terracotta Pots

 I have plenty of terracotta pots. They boring to be seen without any colours on they .So here is beautiful pot I painted with acrylic paints and added a few decoratives.Inside this is a beautiful insect eating plant  Dionaea muscipula . Have placed this pot and plant near the kitchen window. Haven’t seen the plant catch any insect so far.




Decorative Elephant Hanging


During my recent trip to India I came across several places where these decorative handicrafts were sold .They looked also good and attractive. Unfortunately I couldn’t buy them .Reasons being weight and fragile.
Anyways I was looking at decorative stuff to fill up my new house which we bought soon after returning from India.

I wanted these kind of handicrafts….so I made it myself.I used clay to make the elephants,colored with acrylic paint,some decorative beads and jute thread to hang.
