Dasara gombe/bommalu/golu 2010

Yet again here I am with Dasara dolls for this year. The year was more fun. Although preparation for this year was very bad, I could manage to keep the dolls well in time.
I went to Bombe mane in Mysore and bought few dolls. The model of mysore and dasara procession has been showcased very beautifully.
Some of the dolls are hand made and most of them were purchased. Hopefully you will enjoy these photos.

The cricket stadium is the main attraction this time. Myself and my sister spent a day making this stadium. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Have to mention that big Lord Krishna was given by my grandma to me. This is a piece which has been there from 70 years with them. I painted it and made new.Isn't it cute?


Let me know how it looks?!

Hand painted diyas and small harvest of methi

Here is my new painting venture into hand painted terracota diyas. These diyas I started collecting from last year.
I went to mysore in search of few dolls for dasara. I got to know that every year an exhibition of lights(deepa)happens around deepawali season. I went again to collect them at 'Deepa Soundarya'

The diya in the photo I got it from a street in Bangalore last year. They sell variety of diyas during deepawali(diwali) season. I got this cute sunflower shaped diya. I got it lighted few times. As it becomes black when lighted, it is better to keep them painted as collection pieces.




Meanwhile got a small harvest of fenugreek leaves(methi) from my kitchen garden. Isn't it cute?




I got this tiny little plant in the picture below from the bonsai shop. He is very kind hearted to gift these small little cuties with plants I buy. They are just thumb size pots. Keep an eye for more bonsai, art and singin on my blog ;-)





I am waiting to reveal my collection of diyas in coming posts. Keep watching!!
