ELLARIGOO NAMASKARAGALU!!!!

I know I am totally late.... But better late than never....:)
Kannada Rajyotsavada Shubhashayagalu!!!
Karnataka was formed on November 1st in 1973.....
Until then ours was Mysore region.....
So on november 1st we celebrate Kannada Rajyotsava or Karnataka Formation Day...
On this day, we hoist our Kannada flag, the red and yellow flag...........
So I had thought of doing something related to this theme in these colours!!!!
But I had done this Quilled bird and had forgotten all about it!!!!!
Now suddenly yesterday, when I was searching for something else among my arty things , I found this and so I am posting this atleast now :) :) :)

Some Fancy Dresses and Photoshop!!

These are some of my personal photoes which I have tried to edit using photoshop!!!!!

In this photo, I had dressed up my daughter as Krishna!!!! This one was taken in August 2008 during the festival of Krishnashtami!!!!!! And by far this is my favourite!!!
I have put both the after and before versions!!!!





This is a very recent photo of my daughter....
This was taken for the Fancy Dress Competition during the Children's Day Celebrations!!!
I had dressed her up as Jhansi Ki Rani!!!!!

This photo was takenin Shravana masa of 2009!!!!

Again this one is of this year's Children's day celebrations!!

I have to edit a lot of photoes of my daughter's other photoes too.... but those will need a lot of time ....which at the moment I dont have :( :(

PHOTOSHOPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Today I am posting a few Photoes that I have edited using Photoshop.....

I had taken this photo some 4 years ago ..... and is still one of my favourite photoes!!
( I say this about every cat photo ....:) I like all cat photoes ;) ;) )





This is the photoshopped version......

This photo was taken in Mumbai near the Taj Hotel

And this one was taken in my Mom-in-law's place

This moth was sitting on the bell in the Ganesha Temple in my Granny's house

MORE GEJJE VASTRA

Here are a few other Gejje Vastra that my Mom has done...
She does these every year for the Gouri and Ganesh Festival....

You can find the tutorial here

Also Mom had done these for my Grandparents' photo too this year!!!

GEJJE VASTRA

Gejje vastra or gejjostra.... these are ornaments made out of cotton....
Of course I didnt made these... These are my Mom's crafting.....
We use these Gejjostra as ornaments for God... in almost all festivals....




My Mom uses cotton.......... and.............

These shiny paper............. which are actually coulured aluminium sheets.........

Which is cut into small pieces...............

The final product looks like these......

Using a little bit of creativity, flowers and necklaces are made.....
