Holi- art journal

Hello everyone,

We are back with one more mini art journal page. This time, the theme is Holi- an Indian festival. 

Holi- Commonly known as FESTIVAL OF COLOURS, celebrated on full moon day of last month of Hindu lunar calendar.

Commonly celebrated by burning Kaam/Manmatha to ashes, and people play with colours in joy. 

Kaam is symbolic representation of our desires and the tale around this festival says that God of destruction and God of mind Shiva burns Kaam (our desires) to ashes by meditation. Once all desires are destroyed, a new life begins which marks Chaita Yugadi, which is aligned with positive climate changes in India, end of winter and start of Spring with new leaves. So, the festival of Holi is to burn old desires and welcome new year with playing with colours. 

Also, in earlier days colours made with natural pigments like turmeric, beetroot, leaves etc, the reason to nourish the skin and to prepare it for upcoming hot summer and keep away skin allergies. 

Food is another vast topic related to Indian festivals, but I am sure there is some scientific reason for each preparation related to each festival.

Supplies:

Craftyscrappers Holi stamp set

CrafTangles Color mist- Soulmate and Limelight

Life is Art- Art journal

Hello everyone,

We made an art journal page inspired by the current theme at More than words Challenge.

Our day is complete when we create, we love making art journals because life is short, so why stay bound to rules. Creativity has no bounds, in art journal, imperfection is the beauty.

It is all about enjoying the process. That's the interpretation of Carpe Diem for us. It is so much fun creating the background. We did some doodling, it is super fun.

What makes your day complete? Comment below.

Supplies:

@craftangles Soulmate spray color

Inky Friday Ft. Varada Sharma

Hello everyone,

 Let's get inky!! When it comes to playing with inks, I wouldn't mind getting inky fingers 😋 Did a quick stencilled background for this week's inspiration using @varadasharma Freesia Portrait stamp.

In our limited coloring experience, we felt blending purples is tougher than other colors🎨🖍️, have you also felt the same. Glad, dot coloring came to our rescue. Whenever I feel intimidated to color any floral image, I instantly think of dot coloring, what do you do in such cases, share your tips and tricks in the comments below 👇
