Hello!! to all my dear readers of  Creations - The Essence of Arts.. A very hearty congratulation and many ,many good wishes to you Rachana , on completion of your blog’s 1^st anniversary.

I’m Sarmistha from the fairly new blog Gharonda. I was more than delighted, ecstatic to be precise when Rachana invited me to be a guest blogger in her beautiful space--- CreationS - The Essence of Arts  , while she celebrates her blog’s first anniversary.

I found decorating blogs while searching for decor ideas mainly Indian . Here, I chanced upon Rang Décor and was enchanted by Archana’s beautiful blog. I soon discovered others… of peacocks and paisleys, colours dekor, , thekeybunch.com, my dream canvas, CreationS - The essence of arts are just to name a few. I read their posts daily and left a comment here and there.It became a morning ritualJ.After several months I had the courage to start my own blog. I was encouraged by the kind words of Gagan . Patricia passed me a few tutorials (My pics in the post look bigger and attractive now, thanks PattyJ).

I chatted with Rachana , an immensely talented painter.The bold color, the clarity of expression in the face of her drawings and perfect depiction of the mood of the themes she was creating are just to name a few things about Rachana’s paintings that make them all so very beautiful. I had the lucky opportunity to see one of her amazing painting "The Wedding" first hand. Simply beautiful and amazing art work is the only descriptive I can use for her creativity .

It is so much fun to be a part of the blogging family.I am glad I found you all J

A small DIY of a wooden jewellery box ,painted and decorated, from my side to show Rachana that I love and admire her paintings and will cherish this new found friendship with her and all my lovely friends out there for a long , long time ….

And then......

Hugs

Hello my lovelies... I'm so thrilled to be doing a guest post for Rachana for the 1st Anniversary of her blog 'CreationS - The Essence of Arts'....

I have a little secret to share... I'm not really a trained artist, or a professional designer.. I like colours and simply love to play with colours... I've got truck loads of DIY ideas in my head... but time is not really my good friend... and I'm usually juggling and fighting to complete everyday chores... which puts DIYs and paintings at the backstage of my life... *smiles*

Today I'll talk about a few DIYs and painting jobs I've done... The above cabinet in my girls room got a makeover one weekend... sometime last July!! I call it 'the happy cabinet'... coz we changed a brown cabinet to a colourful garden of butterflies and flowers...

Just around the same time, we drew ballerinas on one of the walls in the girls room... The other three walls had butterflies... Have a look at my girls room makeover!!

I've been dying to paint lotus' on the wall of my living room... But I haven't had the time to conceptualise anything.... Its still a dream!! This is what we did over a weekend in my old home...

My brother, my cousins, my friend and I.... changed my living room wall into a peacock... I had seen this image in the newspapers ages ago... When we were thinking of what to do on the wall.. I painted this on paper first... It looked lovely.. so all of us .. then worked together and put it on the wall.. Most of the artwork, and sketches is done by me... the bold stripes is done by my brother using normal water based wall paint... for the rest of the peacock we used acrylic paints, the intricate crayon and colour pencil work is done by me and my friend...

Hope you like my paintings... Do hop on to Colours Dekor for more....

Here, I'd like to say... Congrats on completing a year.. Rachana... Hope you have more successful years of painting and colours... Your work is truly amazing.. so keep up the good work!!
