Wheel of fortune – Thermocol Art

by Madhavi on December 30, 2007

Life has its ups and downs. I was born in Chennai, studied there and now in Bangalore. Another year gone, I am going to be one more year older and wiser. What have I achieved over the years? Good education and Great relationships. But still I keep craving for more why so? Guess, It’s human law the more you see the more you want. Today was my neighbor,’s kids b’day, really dint know what gift should i buy? Finally decided on books. I normally gift books to my dear ones. My house is now officially fully cluttered with books. I got to find a second hand book stand or else my precious books will get damaged.

Any new year resolution for anyone out there? Do keep posted. Take care.

P.S. Can u guess out of what material I made this Wheel? Not for those who already have seen and know.dsc00105.jpg

hi, its look nice……instead of acrylic colour we will use for antique finish gold, copper or silver dust…..dabbing technique is suitable for thermocole craft……
