The world of fishes

In this hectic world, where stress is surrounded everywhere, its very importance we have some stress buster. One of the stress buster is having a fish aquarium in your house. 

Its a proven fact  that aquariums have an effect on people (a healthy mind, body and spirit). An aquarium helps you rest, relax, find tranquility and harmony, it  reduces stress.  Watching aquariums has been medically proven to reduce stress and lower blood pressure. After a long and tiring day, relaxing on your couch or in your bed means so much more when you're watching your happy fish swimming around in your "living work of art." 

Here is the fish aquarium in my house.

Garden in the Fairyland

This week challenge in I am Diva is Fairyland.

I went to shool days while doing this challenge. I was not sure to put this on my blog but finally decided to put. This looks so kiddish but it was kinda fun. This was looking very  kiddish, so  I used 3D glitters. 

Overlapping Initials

I have discoverd  this beautiful Zentangle art work and have been working on it for some time. I just need a paper and a pen and I start doodling where ever I am.Till now I used to doodle as a good stress buster, but recently I came across a wonderful blog I am the Diva - Certified Zentagle Teacher by Laura and was glad to discover the weekly challenges.I  have not participated in any challenge till date and this is my first weekly challenge. Now I get a reason to tangle every week.

This is the 30th weekly challenge and the topic is  String Thoery v.V : Initialize - draw first and last initials, overlapping, and use this as the string for the tangles.

So here what came out with my initials SS

This was fun...

Trip to Udaipur - Part II

As promised in my earlier blog, I am sharing  part II of the trip to Udaipur.

Pratap Smark (Moti Magri) 

Moti Magri is one of the interesting tourist attractions of Udaipur. One can see a statue of Maharana Pratap on the top of the Moti Magri Udaipur. Moti Magri or the Pearl Hill is a beautiful hill from where one can enjoy the bird-eye view of the Fateh Sagar Lake. The statue of erstwhile Rajput ruler Maharana Pratap Singh with his horse Chetak or Pratap Memorial was built to pay homage to this legendary Rajput hero. The statue in this Pratap Memorial on the top of Moti Magri Udaipur is made of bronze. One can  reach the Moti Magri of Udaipur through lush gardens.   

Saheliyon ki Bari- the Garden of Royal Ladies 

Saheliyon ki Bari lies just beneath the Fateh Sagar Lake. Maharana Sangram Singh II designed this garden in the early 18th century purely as a pleasure garden and a summer palace for the 48 young maids that formed a part of the prince’s dowry.

Bhartiya Lok Kala Museum 

The museum deals mainly with the tribal and folk art of India. It has an extensive collection that includes dresses, dolls, masks, musical instruments, paintings and the famous puppets of Rajasthan.

Mansoon Palace (Sajjangarh Fort)  

¤ The Palace Attractions 
Sajjangarh Fort is at a height of 3100 feet above sea level and 1100 feet over the Fateh Sagar Lake. The palaces of the fort look like a tiara on the head of a rocky hill, the one on which the fort proudly stands. The rocky crag is massive and has an excellent view of the surrounding hills, pristine lakes and snow-white palaces. The fortplace is crowned by the Monsoon Palace, which also has a panoramic view of the lakes and palaces and the city below.

Vintage Collection of Classic Car Museum
 
The collection within the grounds of the Garden Hotel comprises a variety of classic and interestingly rare transportation vehicles.


The garages here are a home to around 24 vehicles which were once the means of transportation for the Maharajas. Vintage cars like Cadillac, Chevrolet and Morris are simply rocking. There are other models of cars which are unique in their own way. Some are sleek while the others are broad exhibiting the taste of the royal Maharajas.


Excellent car museum for vinatge car lovers... Have a look at the pics...

Big Time Fun

This time i decided to play with Zentagles in a larger form. It took me some time to complete this one compared to the smaller ones.

I was reminded of this quote while working on this Zentangle - "We've had this strange intertwining relationship without really knowing each other." - Lyn Redgrave.

Linking this to Weekend Wrap

Zendela

Having played with Zentangles  thought of taking the Zentangle idea and putting it together with the traditional Mandala Art Drawing --- and made Zendala...

Zendalas are A hybrid of a Mandala Circle and Zentangle Art.

Mandala is a sanskrit word which means "CIRCLE". 

 

Tangling with Zentangles

I am addicted with tangling since a week. Check out these Zentangles...

Doodling

I am posting after a long time. I was actually busy... doing nothing. :-)  You know at times you want to do lots of things but end up doing nothing. I dont know how many of you feel the same way, but i do feel this very often. So I did some some scribbling while doing lots of other things... and doodled these Zentangles. Doodling is a good stress buster and helps in concentration...
