Life - Work, fun, frolic and more!

Masai Art - glass painting

Life is 'work', work is life,
Finding 'pleasure' in work,
Is 'the 'treasure' of life!

Doing what you 'like',
Is the 'choice' of life,
'Liking' what you do,
Is the 'way' of life!

One life, one goal,
The life full of joy,
Is the ultimate soul!


KP introduced me to Masai Art a couple of years ago and since then I have been intrigued by this style of art. Inspired by the strong and bold yet very subtle and delicate nature of this art form, I then worked on these glass paitnings one symbolising two women at work and the other showcasing these women indulged in fun and frolic at the end of the hard day's work.
(pardon me for the bad quality of the photo, I had no time and patience what so ever to take another shoot before I handed this over to an art admirer)

Mom's little girl

Collageb - (20"x16")

The source of energy,
The source of inspiration,
To me and to all around!

Like the candle,
That burnt herself,
To light our lives!

The abyss of kindness, patience and love,
A perfect friend, guide, nurse and a counsellor,
Name it you have it in you!

I am so proud to call you Mom!
On this special day of yours,
Wish you good health and happiness,
Today and Forever!

My mom reminded me of this collage that I gifted her many years ago. I am glad she liked it and she still remembered it!

Colorful coasters

Tea Coaster Crochet

Woolen woven in harmony,
Always pleasing for any ceremony,
Staying strong and united,
To form the coaster,
For your morning cup of Tea!

Cluster of stitches,
Seeing through my master rags to riches,
Every string does its job,
Many held strong,
Some aesthetically left long!

Bookmarks!

Read Somewhere -

"Why pay a Dollar for a bookmark, why not use a Dollar for bookmark?"

Here are a few bookmarks I made a while ago. Any guesses what these are made from?

Ubiquitous circle!

Glass painting - (5"x7")

Mind with matter,

Idea with reality,
Symbols with entity,
Circles circling circles!

Circles of Integrity,
Circles of Change,
Circles of Love,
Circles of Unity,
The wheel has come full circle!

Separating the inseparables,
Forming lines from circles!
Actions following reactions,
Making complete circles!

Not the pyramid of hierarchy,
But the circle of circles,
Which is the perfect hierarchy,
To be the two halves of complementary circle,
Is the essence of the 'Ubiquitous Circle'!!!

Decorated using coloured papers on cardboard box

Made this box for those pennies lying all around the house. Hopefully they will now find a cozy place to hide. :)

“May you always have work for your hands to do,
May your pockets hold always a coin or two,
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane,
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain,
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.”

-Irish quotes

Dorset Art week has officially come to an end now. Unforunately I couldn't squeeze much time to visit other galleries as much as I wanted to. This is from a quick visit to the Winton Art's and Media college where some of my works were exhibited too.
