Handmade Buddha wall decor

Dear Friends,

This month at Indian Quilling Challenge Group, we have Ombre / Monochromatic as the challenge.
 
I had done this handmade buddha artwork for my new home. I have used 75 Nos of 3mm quilled strips and crimped and rolled it form a circle behind buddha. Outlined Buddha is hand drawn.

I like his teachings and following it to the maximum. The four noble truth of Buddha - Which everyone should accept.

The Four Noble Truths
1. There is Suffering Suffering is common to all.
2. Cause of Suffering We are the cause of our suffering.
3. End of Suffering Stop doing what causes suffering.
4. Path to end Suffering Everyone can be enlightened.

May Lord Buddha bless you with Peace.

Indian Quilling Challenge

Hello friends,

Since we will be celebrating Teacher's day on 5th Septemeber, Theme for our Indian quilling Challenge /quilling contest is Anything goes with School theme( teachers day, school elements - pencil, book, etc.)

Hence planned to make a School Parade to give an idea about the theme.

When thinking of Parade – The Grand parade event comes to my mind.

On every Republic day - a grand parade is held in New Delhi. The event starts with India's prime minister laying a wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate, to remember soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country. India's president takes the military salute during the parade in New Delhi while state governors take the military salutes in state capitals. The parade showcases India's Defense Capability, Cultural and Social Heritage.Each display brings out the diversity and richness of the culture of India and the whole show lends a festive air to the occasion. Awards and medals of bravery are given to the people from the armed forces and also to civilians. Helicopters from the armed forces then fly past the parade area showering rose petals on the audience. School children also participate in the parade by dancing and singing patriotic songs. Armed Forces personnel also showcase motorcycle rides. The parade concludes with a "fly past" by the Indian Air Force, which involves fighter planes of flying past the dais, symbolically saluting the president. These leave trails of smoke in the colors of the Indian flag.

My daughter is in preschool now, and she used to bug me daily to make a gift for her teacher. Hence, i have decided to make a parade arrangement with amateur quilling.(I have a big box in my stash with all the quilled shapes and small 3d quilled miniatures which I have done eight years back during the learning process of this beautiful art)

For this Paper parade arrangement, i have made a tray and fixed four wheels to it. then decorated the top with paper banners, quilled blackboard, quilled fruit, quilled bear, quilled cat, slide is also there with a quilled boy sliding, quilled pond with duckling, quilled school bus, quilled roses on sides,quilled sand play area and a small little quilled girl thanking her teacher.

My daughter really loved it and here it is

Hope you too liked it.

Mrs Sudha Murthy

Mrs Sudha Murthy - When I heard the news that Mrs Sudha Murthi will be visiting our premises, I was surprised and bit scared. She was my first inspiration at office, when I joined Titan in 2003, I came to know about her by a forwarded mail. I still preserve it. As She is the Chairperson of Infosys foundation, many things were going about her in my mind. 

Finally the day came, I was really shocked to see her, a millionaire in a simple Saree and with no jewels. Her friendly smile gave me the comfort. The time i spent with her was like being with my Mom.

A down to earth person, the way she spoke, her humbleness & etc. – could feel a divine presence. 

My crafty mind sparked to give her something being in office what will I make, I had only 30 minutes. Searched nook and corner of the table to get something. As I used to store the balance flowers, paper bits in a small box, luckily I found 3 punched flowers, two green strips, a single red coloured Quilling strip and some half pearls. Planned to make a special quilled flower pot with quilled roses for a special person and here it is.

It was like a reward for me when she happily agreed to take it with her. What else I need, thanking God for all this and feeling blessed.
