Title :The Relaxed

Table organizer - pen holder, card holder, photo/to do list holder(Adding Humor Look Carefully)

Its made of BREAD - BREAD CRAFT with the base being recycled items ( tissue holder, chocolate box, card board that comes with shirts). Have been doing bread craft for almost 9 years now and the first piece that I made is still as good as new in my showcase. The idea was given by my husband and am sure most men will need one. I have taken the theme of beach as thats a favorite place for many.

Time taken for the process excluding planning and raw material procurement is 16 hrs. 

Simple procedure is to treat the bread with insecticide and then make a dough of it with white glue. then we can proceed with making the required shapes. Its given a protective coat after drying. 

Care : use a soft brush to dust or wipe with slightly damp cloth

Enfield Lover Charm Neck-piece

Inspiration: My Husband loves Royal Enfield Classic 500 inspired the making of this piece. There are so many men out there who share this love for this magnificent Motorbike... This is a dedication to all those men who love to ride their loud big bullets...:-) So Keep Calm and Ride On.....

Description: This piece is a compilation of three recycled handmade charms in a black cord.

Process Of Making:

- Well since the exhibition was announced I had been brainstorming and considering what material to recycle/up-cycle......just couldn't decide.

Then, two days ago it hit me when I sipped on a (glass) bottle of Thums Up...?? Yes I was gonna use its cap. Got two bottle caps one 7Up and the other Thums Up...and sat down deciding what to do with them... knowing me it had to be jewelry, but for a man!!!

- Creative Sparks flying!!! No idea yet...hmmm called up hubby asked him exactly which bike he loved...Royal Enfield Classic 500 was his reply...there I had my idea.

- Got to work on the layout and color  theme...downloaded pics of a red Enfield checked out the others. Checked out quilled bikes too, knew I had to add some quilling element. Dilemma:-( work space on bottle cap was only 1 inch!!! Eeeeks!! Well I always wanted to do micro quilling here was my chance...

- Used word to crate some samples and finalized a few, got color print outs.

- Prepared the bottle caps by hammering them down to the shape I wanted. Coated them with black nail varnish placed them to dry. nailed holes for findings.

- Prepared the printed paper by painting PPA over it.....NOOO!!! Ink smudged all over bad idea :-(

- Luckily Hubby Brought two printouts...saved... this time applied glaze ...perfectly done kept for drying. All dried ready for cutting.....done all pieces, cut perfectly...:-)

- Placed circle cutouts on bottle cap inside and pasted, coated with glaze all over. Placed aside for drying

- Up-cycled old key with nail varnish, tiny cutouts and glaze. Ready!!

- Starting work on micro MotorBike.........hmmm.....after several hours completed at last...Whew!!!!  It's 1 inch wide!!!

- Placed and glued in bottle cap carefully and generously coated with glaze left to dry over night.

- All charms ready for their respective metal findings and  placement on black cord.

-TaaaDaaa!!! Ready for pics...:-)

Time Taken: Well actual time taken would be two days which includes, idea, layout color scheming, research, obtaining material, concept and finally assembling the idea.

Materials Used:

• Bottle caps and Key
• Paper Cutouts
• Nail varnish
• Glaze
• Jewelry Metal findings
• Cord
• 3 mm and 5 mm Quilling Paper (red,silver,white and black)
• White Glue

I made a tea light candle holder wishing that his life is full of light and happiness,no darkness at all.

2)  Greeting    - A greeting for wishing,blessing and writing what ever u want to..I gave an empty space in the center so that a sweet memory pic can be pasted.

3)   Rakhi  - The thread which binds the love..
I took the ganesh ji sticker from an old wedding card,painted,decorated and made a rakhi out of it..

  It took her  3 days to do this

Title for my work: "Shaving Pouch Organized"

Item and Material used: I have made a shaving pouch. It is made of synthetic leather and inside lining is of cotton and synthetic net. Has two see through net pockets, one of the pockets has zip for closure. Height is 5.5'' and width is 8'' and 9.5'' from bottom and top respectively. A zip is attached on top.

Pouch is machine stitched but for extra strength, I've used hand stitches with thick thread on leather. Top decorative stitch is also hand stitched.

Process of making: I first decided on the shape, dimensions and then materials. Drew a pattern and made a prototype(with waste clothes). Once I was satisfied with the prototype and decided on the steps of making, I cut lining pouch. Sewed the lining pouch completely (with pockets and zip). Then made a similar pouch with synthetic leather(without pockets of course). Attached lining pouch temporarily to main pouch and then attached Zip on top. After this sewed lining and pouch together.

Time Taken: It took me about 12-13 hrs. in total, including time for design and prototype. Hand stitching also took more than 1 hr.

Inspiration: I was looking for a shaving pouch for my husband which was not much bulky but could house all his essentials during his out of town trips. In his earlier pouch, while looking for things, he had to take out everything all the time since it did not have inside pockets. Most of the pouches available in the market also did not have inside pockets, so I decided to make this pouch.

As per the condition of the exhibition, inner lining materials(cotton and net both) are up cycled. I have small pieces cotton left after my earlier sewing. Net pieces were leftovers of window covering.

Title: Basket of Love

 (Note: Picture with cosmetic products and perfumes are for illustration only)

2. Description of the Item: A storage tray made out of recycled paper. Women have purses and special organizers to store their perfumes and cosmetics. But men are left out of this game as it never strikes anyone that they also own a number of perfumes and cosmetics. But giving a special thought to my husbands and brothers needs, to store 'his' favorite perfumes, shaving creams and other lotions and to help 'him' never lose 'his' pair of socks again, this Basket of Love was designed. A special gift from a wife to her husband or from a sister to her brother. 

Dimensions (approx).: 12.5 inches (length) by 8.5 inches(width),  heights: 2.5 inches (longer side) and 5 inches (wider side)

. Process of making, time taken and Materials: Old glossy magazines, 70-90gsm paper used. Each sheet was uniformly cut into several 2.5cm stripes and individual tubes/ straws created out of them. Then these tubes were used to weave-in the whole basket, the olden days bamboo weaving style. It took me around 15 days to make.
