Canvas Painting- Spring

After a really long spell of dreary winter, I am all ready for spring....
Spring has always been one of my favorite seasons....
The burst of colors all around me, makes me feel really happy....
I am truly blessed to be able to enjoy the magnificence and the 
ethereal beauty of the blossoms.....
And what better way to see it everyday than a painting!
This painting is one of my favorites, as I have gone completely out 
of my comfort zone while painting this....
I have used many different self- taught techniques in this one for 
the first time, and they turned out surprisingly well....
Well, here's the center of attention....My canvas Painting- "Spring"


Canvas Painting- "Spring"
I have used acrylics on a 16 X 20 pre-stretched canvas...
It is kind of a 3D painting with impasto effects.....
The sides are painted and it is ready to hang.....

Let me show you some close-ups

DIY Mirror Candle Holder

Hello my friend, welcome back!!
I have always been fascinated by mirrors, and candles and the 
combination of the two just takes my breath away.....
Today I'll show you how I made this Mirror Candle Holder....

Mirror Candle Holder

I used the following material:
  1.  5" round mirror
  2. Turquoise teardrop rhinestones
  3. Yellow flower-shaped rhinestones
  4. Pearls- small and big
  5. Glass votive holder
  6. Glue (forgot to keep it in the picture)

Materials 

The process was not as complex as it looks.....
I decided on the layout and then glued the rhinestones, pearls and 
the votive holder on the mirror base......
And this is the result.....

Candle Holder- Centerpiece


And this is how it looks serving its purpose....

Home Decor
I am really happy the way it turned out....
This pretty little thing is available for sale....Contact me if you need one :)
This is my own design, and I prefer you do not copy it, but you 
can use the process to make your own variations....
