Made by me Monday - Big Ben Westminster

A friend wanted some icon of London to be made for him. So I made this Big Ben & Westminster for him. The paper I used had a ribbed texture(you cant see it in the picture) so the vertical lines added a construction(architecture) kind of feel to the cutout.
I was going to mount this on grey but my sister suggested this blue background which had some shades so I used that instead and am happy that I went with my sister's suggestion!

Made by me Monday - flowers

This one is for another friend - now delivered so I can safely post pics here!

The picture is from a cell phone camera so please excuse the perspective lines!

Made by Me Monday - Guardian Angel

Another angel. This is for a friend and since it is now handed over, I can safely post it.

She thought something was missing in this though but could not quite point out what. Could somebody help? Am hoping there is a chance to enhance this someway!

Made by me Monday - Angel

A friend wanted me to make a cut out of an Angel... So this was a proto for that!

Made by Me Monday - Hummingbird

My kid-cousin saw one of my paper cutting pieces and was all excited. He tried to draw a hummingbird on a rough pad for me to make a cutting out of. In the end he was not happy with what he sketched. So I thought I should make the same for him.

Lo and behold!



Now for some close-up shots -

Made by me Monday- Fabric covered frame

In december was my sister's wedding anniversary. Apart from other gifts, I wanted to give them something personalised and hand made and thus, here comes a fabric covered frame. It is decorated with some shells and conches that my youngest sis got from Goa. The frame even has my sis and bro-in-law's name in glitter!

Here it is with a abstract art done by my youngest sis.

Made by Me Monday – Wall Art

We had a not so good looking wall behind out TV. Some of the paint was peeling off because of some moisture and we are not yet ready to go ahead for complete water-proofing and repainting yet.
So had to think up of something that would cover up the patch and not really look patched up!
Came up with a lot of ideas and finally zeroed in on this. It would not be correct to say that only I worked on this, my sister helped out on this too.
It was like going back to school again, and if you were to visit me then, you would have caught me red handed – literally.
Here it what the process of making it was like –
This is the outcome, with a few birds appliqued to the tree. It now sits on the wall, and you can see the wireless phone's wall socket attachment.
