15 Marbles

I haven’t touched paint in a L-O-N-G time..really long time..But,I never stopped thinking about paints.
I had a small stack of unopened paint pots that I finally gave away,when I was moving to Australia.I resisted and resisted and finally went out and bought myself some color…some acrylic paint,some water-based glass stain,some felt pens(they come in handy) and ofcourse yet another pack of crayons for my little one.We have already gone through countless boxes of crayons..and she is not even 3!
Anyway,this is about me and about the tulips..the bragging about your kid is the job requirement of being a mom.
So,tulips..hmm when we first started dating..It was Sanj’s birthday and I wanted to give him something handmade..So,made him a glass-painting of tulips,finished it well in time and got it framed with some crushed aluminium foil background and a matching frame.That frame still hangs in his our room in mumbai.

I had a bunch of tiles lying around and my hands were itching to get on them.
So,I washed one with soap and water,let it air dry.
Next,I transfered the design on the tile.and then started filling color(glass stain).But I did two things wrong-
In my haste to finish,I popped it in the oven( 300 deg C for 30 mins) too soon.The paint was still wet in some places.And I forgot to wipe off the outlines..
But,there is something beautiful,about the finished tile,despite all the imperfections.

See those paint Bubbles?I could have avoided those,if only I had waited a little longer:(

Thank you God!
I found the wallet..and everything is intact!
Guess where was it?
In Sanj’s Bag IN THE CAR!
He checked the car,I checked the car..but didnt find it..but ANYWAY..thank God,I found it..I feel like someone just lifted up the huge boulder off my heart!
Thanks for your wishes and prayers.

If you thought that I had forgotten about the pics,no i hadn’t.
Here you go-I shared the table with a friend

It was again a slow day…the regulars told us,that since it was father’s day,most dads had their way-which was Beer and Football and no shopping!We didn’t sell as much as we expected…but it was a good day.

Aadya wanted to get her face-painting done. And the face-painter liked this bag and I traded it for getting Aadi’s face painted..though the price of face-painting was less than that of the bag,but,the happiness on my sweetheart’s face,more than made up for it.:D
