Cursive Font Calligraphy

This is the first time I came up with Calligraphy. I wanted to do this long back but didn't want to post something very simple like something on a paper or anything like that. Here I did calligraphy on a piece of mirror, this can be gifted to someone special.

So here is a new piece I tried out.

Materials I used:
1. Piece of mirror
2. Calligraphy Nib
3. Handmade paper

Cut a piece of handmade paper and stick it on the piece of mirror. Then using the calligraphy nib I just wrote some simple words with "CURSIVE FONT".

This is a thank you note written on the showpiece. Yes, this is a real beautiful showpiece that can be given to your favourite someone.

How is this piece of calligraphy I tried out?

Bull Wire Craft - Trendy bag

This is one trendy bag made of Bull Wire.

Even this bag need some 60 pieces of long bull wire. See the design made out of this wire. Its completely handmade. The design is made by tying each knot very tightly.

This looks awesome and a real trendy bag. After you finish making the bag just need to give it to a bag shop who will stitch it inside with silk cloth and a chain.

This is the handle made for the bag.



This is the main design pattern for body of the bag.



So how does this completed bag look like?

Fabric Painting

Here I am back again with fabric painting. Found some old Dupatta and thought of renewing it. Using some fabric colours and some good designs on it. I have made this plane dupatta look beautiful with lot of work on it.

To make this more beautiful you can do a running stitch over the outline of the design and add some beads to it.

This is a simple fabric paint design.

Bull Wire - Mobile cover

Normally looking at this you would think this is made of macrome thread or crochet thread. This is a different thread much thicker, this is as thick as a sack rope but you can make all different kinds of bags, batwas and mobile cover or anything you like to create and this thread is Bull Wire Thread.

Materials:

1. Bull wire thread (300gms approx)

Its always good to have coaching for this as its a bit difficult. You need to have a long thread cut into 20 pieces and then hang them into a rod which is placed on a max height just as the length of the wire.

You need to hang those wires and on the rod and tie them one by one into a design as per the required height and width.

It looks really beautiful and you can make lot of different varieties of bags and all.

Here is one I made.




Its easy to use and looks really good.
