Hi friends,

Back again...
For a change, today, I am posting pics of some other miscellaneous decorative pieces that I have made over many years

             These Manipuri dolls were made some 14 years ago... that was before I got married... Surprising that they are in good condition even now... Thanks to my mom for that... 

These dolls have a basic metal frame over which cotton and then wool is attached to give the body shape. Then, wool is wound over it. The head of the dolls are wooden pieces available in shops. The costume can be as elaborate as you can make it.... I chose to go simple and traditional. 

Made a few more of these just after my daughter was born... those got damaged when I shifted...

             
         

             These are simple thread embroidery works on sieves... These too are from many years ago.. Looking at these, I do wonder how it is that I had so much of patience then to have spent time doing these pieces.....  I lack patience and don't have the luxury of time now ( how can anyone expect these qualities with a hyperactive 3 year old around !!!)

        

Will be back with a post tomorrow.

Bye.
