Graphiti splash on walls!

Last few weeks has been sort of brainstorming for me...had to judge event in design colleges who had to paint the walls in a studio. Being from design background they all had out of the box ideas. I definitely only wanted to encourage them and go ahead with it, eliminating their worries about it being practical! Hey when else can you do all this... Once the final painting was done i was just bowled over completely by the creativity of students.
Event- Kinethesia at Pillai's college of architecture
Theme- Memories.


This one is done by 1st year architecture students.



I personally loved the mixture of emotions and practical elements shown in the form of painting. I reviewed this keeping in mind they were freshers and thought it was wonderful. But wait till you see the rest!


The 2nd yr students had something even better! They discussed about painting faces on wall by making a cut out stencil of all the class students faces and all..and voila! there they have done it.
Their memories came across as fresh and full of life :)



Little close shot made me actually believe it is painted indeed!



Kudos to this team effort!



3rd yr gave me a break from all the jing bang abstract art. Guess their memories were going point blank! U know similar to the Doordarshan blank screen..No offense i quite liked this one too ;)

Good use of the existing wire cables. Almost looks like part of the painting




By the time i reached the 4th yr i almost thought the memories are becoming kind of grey and not much colour! They had some spooky ideas too..a human figure hanging head down and stuff..I completely empathize..by this time of college u just wanna get over with it!!!



The memories are now turning to burden of submissions and holding on with your friends for life support!

By the end of the event i was left with just one feeling...Nostalgia!

Ending this post with a shot of Colour store. Do visit for more!

Wedding Decor

I have been doing some browsing on decor which will suit a pleasant wedding theme. Some are actual weddings, some are places that are so pretty that i thought could pass off as a pleasant wedding decor and some are just too nice to ignore! Thanks to all the web links...


This is decor set up in a Hawaii resort. Beautiful is the word for it :)


Another Hawaii theme. I so love this one..Wish i could...


A fellow blogger image. Loved the lights actually. Creates so much drama and attraction.

Raining colours!

"Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make colours appear."
The best companion for rains is surely an Umbrella. And what better way to spend a Sunday than painting an umbrella itself! A workshop organized by Achyut Palav school of calligraphy for all enthusiastic and interested people in painting and calligraphy on Umbrella painting. Colours and umbrella provided by them, we only needed to carry our free mind and brushes to get started! Inspiring and motivating coordinators and Achyut Palav sir himself guided all those who had attended the workshop. Only instruction given to us was just go crazy and paint your imagination on the umbrella. While we were busy with our painting a rainbow in the sky just peeked down on us! Great experience..I thoroughly enjoyed the session and looking forward to many more such events with the same team. Three cheers for the entire team!!!

Peek into some really cool umbrellas...

Getting in the Mood

'Its not just sensible but fun to look around the world for some good dose of inspiration'


As much as i love colours, I have realized that deriving at a palette is turning out more satisfactory than anything else! I explored many different ways of showing clients a particular mood set for their decor. Here are a few-
