Diyas for Diwali




These are Diyas or lamps i had made a few years back. I use them every diwali and store them back. These are made from the smallest pot holders from walmart. All i did was went to town with a couple of basic colors to form a palette and colored various patterns. Later when dry added glue and sprinkled glitter to give it the bling.
Usually these are oil lamps, but due to the flame being such a hazard in western countries i put the tealight battery operated candles and place these all around the home to make the festival of lights truly festive.


The completed Shawl


I finally got to take a pitcure of the shawl with all pieces of the puzzle joined and sides completed using the rainey sisters border. It does look really good. Pleased with the final result and a sense of accomplishment.
