Water color painting. Butterfly

Hi everyone.  Thankyou for visiting and following my blog.  I found a calendar on butterflies and they were so colorful and designed that I got a jolt to start painting again. This painting I have done on rIce paper from China. I am planning to decoupage this on a pot. So back to work on it.  Do let me know how you like it.

Travelling to Bhuj

Today we travelled to Bhuj 320 kms from Ahmedabad.  Some of the highlights of this travel was the wetlands and salt fields. The white fields and it's charm was spoiled by the high tension electric wires!
We also had a brief look into the technicalities of block printing. Amazing that the block printed saree goes through so many process of dyeing and printing with different blocks of carved wood.
Here are some photos

Trip to Kutch Gujarat

Today I start for my holiday in Kutch.A group of 19 ladies mainly from Kerala are on this trip to north western part of India to see the land of wetlands.
I will be mobile blogging my travel and  will give you details of the places visited,  photos etc as much as I can.  My group is already there in Ahmedabad touring palaces and other tourist center's.  Well I had to forego that due to my buisness trip in Germany.  But looks like the girls are having fun.Looking forward to see and feel the culture of Gujarat and taking up Amitabh Bachans challenge 'if you haven't seen Gujarat you haven't seen India'. See you soon.
