IF - Unfold

A new life unfolds... for a bride



This is a mixed media where I have used glass colours, svaroski crystals for the jewels and the saree embellishments and the palanquin umbrella. I've also decorated the umbrella with fabric I cut out from lace.

IF; Better late than ne'er:)
Today my darling daughter unfolded her talent by bringing home first prize in recitation and a second prize in elocution. This was the first time she was doing an individual competition. Earlier they had only group events in KG.
Congrats to my l'tl darling...

    Many congratulations to the little star who is just going to beat you in everything. :D :D

    And the artwork, I remember my mom once made one like this too. Long time ago. I should encourage her to start again, she is quite skilled in crafts. ;)

    Wow! Look at the intricate details and the crystals, jewels and the saree embellishments!
    So gorgoeus and lovely.
    I thought this would make a darling wedding gift.
    Just excellent, loving the style and charm!

    I can see her prayer's pose here. So concentrate and beautiful.

    Congrats to your darling daughter.
    Her talent has been unfolded, and you will sure have more joy in coming years.
    Training her to attend competition and witnessing her joy of winning is marvellious. I can feel it here.
    Please tell her that she is the best.
    She is very pretty little cute girl, I am most appealed by her friendly and confident smile. That's the staisfaction of double winning prizes in school.It's certainly a good start for her.


    Hope you have a safe journey to India:)Bye!
