Choco L'art

The last few days have been all about chocolate paintings! I'v been getting lots of orders! Last month Hindustan Times covered an article on my chocolates and I'v come up with a brand name- Choco L'art (chocolate- the art or the art of chocolate).
Here are some recent pictures of the chocolates that I'v been making and a picture of the article.

Chocolate Painting-III

The last few days have been incredible! I had a radio interview regarding the chocolate paintings and today was a photoshoot of my chocolates for Hindustan Times! Guess I outdid myself today- made a total of 6 chocolates in a day. It drove me nuts but the paintings in the end were worth it! The first two paintings got spoilt due to the chocolate I used. The next batch of 4 was much better.

The quality of these pictures is really bad (Blackberry camera sucks!) but I will replace them soon with the high resolution version :)

After Long...! Chocolate Painting- II

So im finally posting after a long time. A lot happened during this time. I lost my dog who was my best companion through the nights when i used to be up making things- making art! I miss you Daizi.

This post is actually chocolate painting -II! This friend of mine got me introduced to a person who gave me an order to make a chocolate painting! My very first painting that earned me money!  Thanks, Basant Rai and Rajlaxmi! I made 3 paintings, one for Basant (the one I got paid for), one which had Rajlaxmi's face (as a thank you gift to her) and a spider man for my kid brother!

Magic Card

Say Abracadabra---

......almost there!...

TA-DA!!

 

My recent obsession with paper crafts and card making actually made me replicate this card from the tutorial posted on Extreme Cards and Papercrafting who got their idea from Splitcoaststampers. Mine was a little different as I planned to make a simple black and white card and then with magic I wanted to colour to appear! I do not have a stamping kit so I just printed out the image, kept a transparency sheet on it and drew the outlines with a permanent marker. The rest of it is pretty much the same. Instead of attaching the thread on top I put a broad piece of paper which can be held and pulled out (its easier to put the card back in).

I made this card for my cousin who was down with Dengue recently and is recovering.. I loved how it drops the cliched idea of the "Get Well Soon" and says "You Cured Yet?"

Along with that, at the back I added the line "This card is going to work like magic-- Get well soon"
