<br />All I did was that i hot glued the flowers in place and then added some white beads hear and there to add some further life to the dull root .As i mentioned yesterday i found this root in a dam covered with mud i brought it home scrubbed it clean sun dried it and gave it two coats of varnish to preserve it ,and by the way this root is with me from the last 12 years i found it before my marriage ,and since then i have decorated it in different styles but sadly never took any pictures back then :( {i never knew i will start blogging one day :) } .That's it for today my friends wish you a very happy,healthy and blessed day .

<br />Good day friends how r u all :).Well as you all know its the month of Ramadan and Iftar Parties are on,and yesterday we had one at my place so while cooking and preparing for the
<br />Iftar i was also decorating our sitting area which have a beautiful triangular fire place .There used to be a fish glob settled there with real gold fish in it once! and they use to look so pretty there adding life to room but sadly they died and after words we bought many more goldfishes but some how none of them survived in the glob so we had to let go of the idea :( but yesterday suddenly this new decorative idea popped into my mind that why dont i arrange a bunch of artificial flowersinside it, so after some trials i was finally happy with the
<br />presented look :) how do you find it ?

<br />all i did is that i bend the stem of the bunch and taped it with the marble surface and inverted the fish glob over it .To insert the bunch inside the globe i softly hold the flowers and leaves close to each other so that they can pass through the tiny opening of the glob without damaging the shape of the bunch.That was the main part and then to add some more interesting look to the arrangement i added some cones and a dried root to it

<br />You may also use some thing else to decorate the surroundings as for example some lacquer sprayed pebbles of different sizes or may be glass pebbles or some corals and sea shells it totally depends on you and the colors scheme of your room ........ have fun :)

Hello dear friends how r u all ,today's post is a simple idea to improve the look of old wash basin Tap Valves .No! No.....you dont have to be a plumber for that, neither you need heavy tools like giant sized ranches ,screw drivers etc ,all you need is a some news paper and some spray paint thats it . <br />
Wana know how to do this ? <br />
<br />

OK hears the embarrassing "before picture" of our wash basin Tap some how the moisture and dust have entered in between the two layers of the valves giving it a very ugly and dirty look and the interesting thing is that it can not be disassembled or opened so that we can clean it out :( now the only solution left is to change the tap valves but unfortunately its an old design and spare parts are not available for this one so we either had to change the tap it self or just keep it as it is but i was not happy either way so thats what i did. <br />
<br />

I tore long strips of news paper dipped them in water and then warped the tap stem and covered the area of wall and basin around the tap .The reason i dipped the news paper in water was that it makes the wrapping really easy and manageable, that not all wet news paper would temporarily stick to what ever surface it comes in contact with so it was really easy to cover the back wall and parts of basin. <br />

Remove the news paper,if some paint accidentally leaked through the news paper ,no worries ! it can be very easily rubbed clean with paint Thinner. <br />

<br />The procedure is really very easy all you have to do is to carefully remove the metal base of the bulb and softly break and pull out the tube inside the bulb it will need some practice but on 4th or fifth try you will know what to do.
<br />Now squeeze and insert the gel flower in the bulb !dont worry its quite elastic it will not break .
<br />

<br />fill up the bulb with water and leave for a night.
<br />

<br />To make up the base! cover the tape roll with ribbon or fabric strip by sticking one end of the ribbon with the roll and then wrapping it all over and securing the other end with transparent glue, stick on some embellishment onto it (optional).
<br />
<br />

<br /></a>
<br />after the night the flower will absorb water and swell up atleast 5 to 6 times then its orignal size, remove excess water from the bulb clean it from the out side and place it on the base you have already prepared ,thats it friends all done enjoy:)

Hi friends hows life :) do you remember <a href="http://artscraftsnhobbies.blogspot.com/2011/04/pot-painting.html">my last post on free hand pot painting</a> ! today's post is a continuation of it. I will show you another free hand pot painting project that i was only fifteen at that time and was free after my exams oh 10th grade so i made this along with two smaller vases (which were hijacked by some family friends ):) so couldn't show you but this one! my mother has kept safe with her through all these years and she loves it .The vase is made of Plaster of Paris all i did was that i coated it with white poster paint as a base then drew a free hand net of flowers and leaves all over with pencil and then i painted them and when every thing was dry i gave it a slight spray of lacquer to secure the poster paints as they are water solvable so humid weather may damage its appearance gradually or if God forbid some body holds it with wet hands or sweated hands ! Oh my God that would be a disaster :) so the lacquer spray is a guard against all these mishaps .<br />

A bit Close Up to show you the details ,while painting this beauty i filled the petals with ultramarine blue mixed with white and then pure in the darker areas .Lastly! outlined them with Navy blue ,this out lining part was the most difficult one as i did it with size 1 brush and you have to hold your breath to paint such delicate lines because breathing produce a light movement in your hold so your lines will also show up these slight tremors, plus its very time consuming too any how those were free days ,No responsibilities so i could work with full dedication but know after kids and taking care of the house it looks like a dream :)<br />
You can notice the slight chip off look in some flowers this is the effect that 13 years has marked on it but it kind of look better this way :) sort of a slight vintage look !what do you think?<br />
