A cute girl..

 I woke up late, as I am still suffering from fever.. I feel tired.., so no classes..no tuition,.. As soon as I woke up, my little cousin came to me. He had got two three pieces of irregularly cut glass. He wanted to make me paint on it. (I am really happy hearing like this from these kids!! even though I am not that much good in this). Actually, that was a single piece of glass with a small cut on one corner. He tried to make it even. And he tried to shape it. You know how? He broke it with a stone.:) , Anyway, he was waiting for telling me he need  
a girl's picture to be made. I asked him why, but he didn't tell. Ok, even if I was not feeling good about my health, I just tried to make a simple one.. And when I completed the outline, he came and said he liked it..and it is supposed to give to his girlfriend. Oh these kids nowadays! They talk about girl friend/ boy friend in this age..! And he wanted to write her name too..
 Now, it is finished and left for drying. I  clicked a picture very soon, as he wanted that too..

I liked it myself.. 

Red rose..

 As, I have started glass painting, my little cousins are appreciating me for every piece I have made, and encouraging me to try the next. Last day, they asked me if I can make one for  them too.. To my bad luck, there was not glass piece left, and I had made one on a glass bottle. They were so happy getting this..

You like it...??

Cute pink fish..

My Love just love his aquariums (Ya, he got more than two!! ), and of-course his pet fishes. Some times that make me jealous too ;).  He used to sat near them and  watch them for some time. He says, that time, he get relaxed , and those fishes just keep him in peace (Not like me who is always irritating him with my rantings..).   Anyway, as he like them,  me also started liking keeping an aquarium. I simply dedicate this painting to my dear love..

It was made on a Tea glass. :) . I have send him the picture, and he liked it  :). I know, its simple, not that much a great work. But, he just loved it, and I love him for that..for what he make me feel..

Ohm Sree Ganeshaya Namah

    I have got fever, and was at home (It's a rare thing!!). As I can't sit idle (Yes, I have that bad habit :(    ), I was getting bored of doing nothing. Something got my attention. A wedding invitation card. There was a  picture of  'Ganapathi' . And...it looked like this..

  I just tried to paint it ....

My second try in Glass painting

 When I have made the first painting, the making of the next was already in my mind. I made use of the time, when the first painting outline was kept for drying. This is what I have done then.

first try in Glass painting

In one of my previous post, I have mentioned about my new hobby. I have started painting on glass :):). I am so happy about this.. When I searched in different sites and learnt the basics, I found it rather easy. and it is true when I tried it !!. It was easy.. and it was a very thrilling, and a pleasurable experience. Actually, I have bought the painting materials some weeks back. But couldn't start working on it, as I couldn't get a flat glass piece and trying to find a shop. And one day to my surprise, I got two pieces from my own home. That was happened so unexpectedly and I got so happy.. Within no time, I have rushed to my Tuition class with all the accessories. I wanted to make it when nobody is around me. I wanted to keep it as a secret. (there was another reason too, for not making it at my home..will tell about it some other time).

  I want to show you some of the pictures of my first try in glass painting.
1. Painting tools:- You can see the glass piece cut in A4 size, the glass outliner, and the paint in tubes. We need only these things. The Glass piece is washed well to remove any dust and dirt, and dried it naturally. And the canvas got ready ;)

2. Then, I have drawn the design on the glass using the black outliner.

3. I have kept it dry for 1 hour. Actually, the instructions ask for 2 hours, but you know I was being so..impatient..Then I started filling colors.

4. This is what I made finally. It is placed on the wooden chair, and got clicked :). There is a glare because of  the flash. (My friend H (mashe) suggested me to not use flash the next time. Thank you dear)

   I am so happy about my own creation..this time, I got the design from google. I think, its ok  as it is my first try. I just loved it!!:)

   My father liked it very much. Love you Achayee..  And he promised me that, he will make it framed. :):)

 All my friends said good comments when I showed them..Thanks to all ...your nice words are really encouraging. I am touched.:)

  My love had promised me to get me more glass pieces so that I can make more.. Love you etta..:)

  And, my friends, Did you like this...?

Am I happy...?

Whenever I feel disturbed and feeling sad about something I used to ask myself. "am I happy?". This may sound crazy, but I then start list all the things I have to be happy about. And the number always exceeds the things that make me feel bad. It is just like this..

  I should be happy because.....

• I have no physical ailment even though everyone says I am too..lean and weak and unhealthy. In my opinion, to be healthy doesn't mean that you have to be fatty, it is just the condition with out any illness.
• I have a decent paying Job, which I am passionate about doing ever since I am a student.
• I have a good family- my parents, siblings, and my love, even though there are some problems sometimes. We patch up all the times.!! :)
• I have the world's best friends..-Lucky me :)
• I have enough freedom to do anything at my will. Thanks to my parents.

..................................................................................... there can be many more persons who don't even get any one of the blessings I have got. Its not at all my own credit. I know that. and, I am thankful to him for all that I have now. God Almighty..

     Then,the current sadness will be washed away very soon realizing I have no time to be sad..as I have a lot more to be happy.. :) :)

   Friends,   "Are you happy...?"
