A Golden Swan !

                               

        

 Wow! Gold melts into a  beautiful swan. This is the artist's maiden venture on Tanjore Art.

Let me wish her all Success in this art too.

Pot Art!

 






An earthen pot gets a make over.

The Diamond Wall Hanging!

This diamond wall art piece, is a beauty capturing our attention. The intricacies in this broken glass art speaks about the creativity of the artist.

Even broken glass, with a little creativity can turn into a diamond and glitter.

The Royal Elephant

 

This elephant art( broken glass), reminds me of Goddess Chamundeeswari of Mysore. The Goddess seated on the Royal Elephant  gives darshan to Her devotees during Dasara festival. It is a  grand ten day festival in Mysore. Year after year this festival is celeberated  in Mysore in a grand manner.

Also it reminds me of the age old  kids Tamil rhyme. Here it is..... 

ஆனை ஆனை அழகர் ஆனை

அழகரும் சொக்கரும் ஏறும் யானை

காட்டுக் கரும்பை முறிக்கும் யானை

காவேரி நீரை கலக்கும் யானை

எட்டித் தேங்காய் பறிக்கும் யானை

குட்டி யானைக்குத் தந்தம் முளைச்சதாம்

பட்டணமெல்லாம் நடந்து போச்சுதாம்

Magical Dreams!

There is a proverb which goes like this:

"You can  buy a mattress, but you cannot buy sleep." 

But with a dream catcher like this you need not worry about sleep. You are sure to dream tonight.

                                            Have magical dreams tonight!

Dancing Damsel

This damsel dancing on broken glass is an excellent creation.

The dancing damsel's dress and hair-do speaks volumes about the creativity of the artist. The curved flowing gown enhances the art.

On the whole this dancing damsel is a striking beauty. 

Can you guess what message this beauty sends across? 

" Life is not about the storm but it is all about dancing in the rain." is my guess.Your guess may differ from mine. 

I happened to read a small write up by the artist on her 15th wedding anniversary.
I think that can fit here along with the art. 

Here is the artist's write up.

I stood at the beginning of crosscut,

barely aware of what to expect – naïve, no canopy , not a sling bag ,

only a stranger that joined the stride.

Into the crawlway, under the bridge, over the rocks,fight the high tides, brave the angry waves unraveling the vulnerability,

it was not a jolly white horse ride-
a goose chase in the glass rubble it seemed ,
in this labyrinth thing called life.

But then through it all,

remained steadfast is the promise of the confidant –

of clasped hands, of stolen moments,

of shoulder to shoulder arbitration

whose reassurance began to make room

to pause through the maze ,

to gaze at the lighthouse silhouette wall,

to breathe in deep the fragrance of blooms,

to lay by the greenpatch side and catch the shooting star,

to sip the sparkling wine, to swagger the cha-cha-cha–

oh I see now beneath the pesky surface , life is an ode to beauty and charm !

Here is to this stranger, my cruise companion,

my confidant , my husband, my love ,

for letting it all be and holding space for life’s richness .

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaning, you are the meaning!

I can juke the apocalypse with you by my side!

Happy 15 years of our wedding bells, dear. "
