Cool Ideas

As I sit in front of my machine, trying to sort out 1TB data (yes! its been telling me to make room!) I am stumbling upon fun design ideas hoarded behind antiquated dates. Last night I sorted a folder of pictures taken at a Show visited some years ago, before the smartphones came in. Some of the ideas are easily doable and still hold good; I am sharing those today.
Warning: these pictures were taken by a non-fancy phone camera. The quality is not good but the ideas are interesting.  Enjoy!

Its been a long long time...

Yeah, its been a long long time.....
Ever since my last post I have been traveling, traveling and still traveling...no complaints but I was kept away from my dear machine, my storehouse, my alter ego!

There is so much to share from my travels....
... and while I sort it all out into relevant sections, here are some beautiful earthy ceramic pieces done by a very fine lady by the name of Lekha Bhagat. For all those who have oooh-ed and aaah-ed over the ceramics that FabIndia had initially introduced, especially the green bamboo pattern.....yes, she is the same lady! Roughly two years ago, Lekha decided to say goodbye to FabIndia and has since been doing Studio Pottery at Ayanagar. Her exhibition with two other ceramicists at IHC last year was a huge success and she continues to bake away at her kiln ..... ever so happily!









These pieces are designed to be hung in combinations across a wall and are roughly between 14" to 16" squares, except the blue rectangular ones.
