Diwali Love

Rama & Sita 

One version of the Diwali story is that to welcome Rama, Sita and Lakshman back from their exile, lamps were lit all over Ayodhya  in celebration and crackers were burst amidst much joy!

It really is my favourite Indian festival, everybodys home glitters and such an abundance of happiness.

Were not bursting any crackers this year, I think all around, things are better this year with people being a lot more concious of the environment! But diyas shall be lit and we shall all glow. 

Have a beautiful and safe Diwali ! much love. 

Floating with the Stars

                                                     

The earth withers

the moon crumbles

one by one

stars flutter into dust

Another paper collage, actually this is the first one I tried. It looks so beautiful on the white paper, but sigh Im just not able to replicate it and get the shadows on camera, so this picture will have to do for now. But I love the way it brings everything to life, making it so dreamy. 

I have also made it my dream to illustrate a childrens book- a magical story I wants. So if any of you know of any fantastic writers or any such opportunities do think of me!

Much love, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Magic in My Eyes

The waves are your soul

your body no longer yours

close your eyes

and let the magic flow.

I went for a water shiatsu spa treatment, where the unexpected happened. My mind treated me to technicolour pictures, and i watched for an hour while my body floated and spun. it was magical and these are some of the drawings that resulted. done in pencils.

The theory behind Watsu is that it messes up your perception of time and space because you are floating in water, which brings you to a very deep state of meditation. its very relaxing and worth a try.
