Masks and Goodies.

I began my day at my " workshop space" as usual and my eyes fell on the Air dry clay I had bought to use.  3D look in my frames...since I love to play with Clay... Mud...I deviated from my original mission and look what happened!!! 

Most of these began as trials.. and when I finished them they looked good enough to eat (so to speak).

The above I have a vision, high hopes to use as part of a bigger picture...

 Kenya began as a Woman... and ended up being a mixed race. Today she is adorning my Fridge as a magnet.

 Zulu is now a small frame that you can fit inside the palm of your hand. This was actually the first of my African mask Trials. 

I used Air Dry clay, Asian paints and 3D Fevicryl outliners.

Christmas Cards

A new beginning deserves a great new blaze of pictures.. so here goes my attempt at bringing to you what I can and cannot do :)
Since this was my first trial... today I do see lot of scope for improvements and innovations. I started with simple snowflake designs because I wasn't sure how I would fare with them. Once I was confident of doing better with outlines I made slightly more complicated designs. That is around the time I got bolder with typography. It was a completely new high for me.
