Yarn wrapped floor lamp

My husband, really loves to buy stuff online,  i LOVE recycling. And there came one day, a parcel, a really long nice and sleek cardboard box. As soon my eyes fell on the packaging box, it was magical.. like in the movies with violins in the background, wind hustling through.. and an idea!--box-cutout-yarn-Lampshade! tadaaa...
I ran to get my bag of yarn, and started wrapping around.. oh, it took me an eternity to finish it, but, hey, it came out good right?
And here comes my favorite part- Christmas light garlands!

This one served as a colorful object in the corner during mornings, and a floor lamp during nights.
I love the whole effect of light passing through yarn, soft.
And i am happy that i was able to Recycle stuff and give a whole new definition to it.
Talking about recycling, i have done a lot of recycling stuff. I never got a chance to post about it.. will do it soon.. :)

The jute vase next to the doily inspired rocks..

As i mentioned in the previous post, here it is, the jute vase next to my Doily rocks.. havent read that post? click here  and you will know what i am talking about.. :)
I love to re-invent, re-create, the very basic things revolving in our life. Sometimes it gets so unnoticed, we forget about the importance of its existence in the first place. One of the examples for me, is jute. Since my child hood, i have seen jute being used as those huge jute bags, in which we buy a lot of rice and other pulses. Or, for just tying something, using it as fencing for our vegetable patches, etc.
But can jute could made into something beautiful? Now i know. 

 After finishing the vase, i wanted to deck it up a bit, make it look all nice, i filled up the core of it with the light garlands, so that the design looks more prominent.
Oh, I love these light garlands that you usually get during christmas time!
It just makes anything look so beautiful! Hang it on a wall, wrap around a tree, a stick, and you know for sure its gonna look really good. Like this Yarn Floor lamp i made..and yes im sure to write about it too.. :)

Doily inspired rocks

Doilies! are the first things which comes in your mind whenever you think of crochet with thread.. Since we are always in a state of improvising and being innovative, and make it fit in the modern world, this was one such attempt. But i personally feel, doilies never go out of fashion!
Had so much fun making this, hope you had fun watching it too.. ;) For scaling purpose i can say that the biggest rock is the size of my palm.

 

By the way, you can see that im experimenting with my camera lens..

 It is now happily sitting in a shadow box frame, right next to the jute vase i made, which reminds me to write about it in the next post ;)

Patriotic Peas

"Break open the patriot in you" , "Together we thrive", were the captions my husband came up with, i thought of writing down more thoughts about it, about the spirit of India, about how different we are, and no matter what, when the time comes, we all become one,..but whatever i write, i would be just elaborating the point and nothing else. You got it SPOT ON Husband! Together we thrive! and more often, break open the patriot in you!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Here comes...., MIKE WAZOWSKI!

Yes! Finally!
I had been a fan of him since the movie Monsters.inc, and wanted to have a miniature version of him!
Hence, Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, The mighty monster.., MIKE WAZOWSKI! GRRRR...!

He is tough. He is scary. He is coming to get you...!

Just born!

Once upon a time, a little birdie found this little nest for its baby eggs, it said, no home could be as beautiful as this. She laid its eggs, waited and waited, and one day, a little baby chick, broke its shell, and called, "Mamma!"  :)

And hearing to that, another egg shook and cracked, and there was one more!
The mother birdie wondered, "what about my third egg? We will have to wait and see.."

 

My love for amigurumi and crochet is increasing day by day. I took some help from here and improvised a bit. let me know how you liked it?
