Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a very happy colorful prosperous new year!
I'm not too late to wish, its just 7th day of the new year 2011! :O It's already 7 days!! Time if flying and I flew from being single to being married this new year :) It is really too fast!

Well well... many resolutions planned for this year too. Like, exercising and gym-ing to be first on list :D and so on...
In blog concern, I have planned to start a new sku called Wallpaper Wednesday in the category cloud. As the name suggests, there would be a new download-able wallpaper on Wednesday. For me it's an exciting challenge, and for you it's a new wallpaper every week! Interesting, isn't it?!
Hope you like the Wallpaper Wednesdays and more that comes up this year!

Season: Wedding

*blush blush*
Like I've been saying in past few posts about my love for paisleys and pink, it now actually shows in this post. This also explains what and which too many things have been happening lately. The countdown has begun and its just 14 days from now!

It is a simple Marathi Wedding with "paisley" (koyri in marathi) as the theme. From my saris to the jewelery I designed for myself, to my husband to be 's wedding kurta; everything has paisleys.

Here, I'm sharing few images of the Wedding Reception invite...
Let me know your views.

Design: Aarti Badamikar
Print: Virakshi
Photography: Rohan Deshmane

PS: The cards are scented :)
PPS: I think I should take up wedding card designing ;)

Truely dainty...

Paisleys have taken all over me. Its a secret sneak peek of whats coming up very soon...
This makes my new banner all influenced with the "mood". The pink is totally "love" and the font 'French Script' is awesomely stylish. Love its 'A' and '&'!!

Honeysuckle {happy weekend}

THINK PINK
It's the "We Love Pink" year!!

Pantone announced color of the year 2011 as Honeysuckle.

Few days back I worked on a lotus sketch for some applique patterns. Thought I should recolor them in Honeysuckle just to enjoy our love for pink!

And Honeysuckle indeed makes a happy weekend!! :)

It's getting cold

I heard from a friend that it has snowed heaps and hills in Canada in past few days. It's getting cold here too, but I still do not need an extra blanket :P
PS: I'm in love with pink nail polish these days :)

Old drawing

It's been long for my last post. Many things are keeping me "busy" here and there. This secret of being "busy" will soon be out..

In my Blog folder, I have a folder named "Not Published"; which, as the names suggests contains unpublished images. Was browsing through it and found this floral drawing from my first semester at NID, and I guess it makes a good post!

Button Love

I made some fabric buttons yesterday!
Not some but chappan :) 56
Used a mix of fabrics; woven, printed and embroidered. Some of my favorites too like mashroo, khann, batik and brocade.
Now will soon craft something of them...

Happy Thanksgiving

Maple and oak leaves, they are such wonderful forms and superb colors! There is some beauty in their hindi names too, chinar and saigun.
I have seen them just in pictures. Not available in my part of the world *sigh*
I keep asking my friends to get me some maple and oak leaves while coming from Kashmir, US or Germany! But they think I'm crazy and they never make it a point! *sigh sigh*
But I never miss to use them as favorite fall motifs!
