Oh Hello!

Some pictures of an illustration project I worked on while I was pregnant. It was the beginnings of my pregnancy and gender neutral nursery decor was constantly on my mind. 

The bright yellow and dark purple combo really got to me.

Another hop in life :)

We brought Bunny Bee home last night. And there has never been more excitement in this house! She is calm and quiet inside her cage/ room and a ball of energy outside.

Her first morning at home

Is it weird that I want to dress her up?

Her colorful corner :)

Spring Bunting

Spring Fiesta sold overnight so I thought I will create another one. This one is called Spring bunting :)

It's so much fun to make tiny buntings!

Poppy

This is what my friend Anusha calls my illustrations - Daily birdie supplements! LOL!
So here is today's dose :)

Loony

This one is called loony mostly because I feel loony :)

In the window

There is nothing better than Friday afternoon!! Don't get me wrong. I love what I do every day but, there is just something about the weekend, the endless hours of doing nothing, waking up late, eating all the meals with that special someone and the late night movies :)

Today's illustration is here too. Love how the blue bird turned out. I'm also working on another illustration with strings of pearls around this little fella.




On another note, Vibha (a non profit I volunteer for) is organizing a Chess and Table Tennis Tournament here in Atlanta. I completed designing this flier for them today. I had never done a flier before so it was challenging and fun! I'm going to get better with a little practice.

Kitchen window

My week was filled with love, snow, unending bouts of sneezing , runny nose, marvels of nature and lots of hot milk and turmeric(it really works for cold). How was yours?

It all began when Poorvi pinged me last weekend with "It's snowing outside!". We played in the snow... I caught cold... Tarun fussed over me (I know perfect V-day ) and finally we went to Ruby falls. It is a breathtaking waterfall inside a mountain! We forgot our camera in the car so not many pictures to share.

I was also working on a series of illustrations... light filled rooms with windows, a few random bottles and some general calm.

This is the first of the series. It's called Kitchen window.

My favorite IKEA frames. Don't know what will I do without them! Where do you guys buy your frames from? And what is the average price range?


So long.

Love bird

Friday is almost here! Hubby has to work over the weekend so no out of town trips for us this V day. But something fun is definitely on cards. Happy V day to all of you! Have fun :)


I shipped out these two orders today. One order was sent with a thank you note on a heart doily with a red string.



The second was sent with a note written on the back of a commissioned portrait business card.


See you on Monday!!

Lily pad

My two favorite love birds again. This time on a Lily pad :)

Brewed Love

Right outside my undergrad design school was this chai wala (loose translation - tea shop). He used to make and serve tea in a burnt, black gray ketely (loose translation - tea pot). Just the fragrant steam from the spout was sometimes enough to break our lecture induced daze.

Capturing the memory here with this "Brewed Love" illustration.



Here are some more pictures of my work space. I love to surround myself with bright colors. Current favorites are red, yellow and green, in the same order. For some strange reason I have developed an aversion for blue. Well for the time being anyway.

More pictures of my home here.

Precious Love

Precious love
You woke my heart up
It's been sleeping for such a long time
This crazy feeling I can believe in
Your love has found its way into my life
:)

This is how the door of my studio looks like now. I like the splash of green :)
Will post more pictures of the room soon!
