Description: I have made a poster for the "carnival" you are hosting. It took me 8-9 hours over 3 days to conceptualize and execute the poster. I have used a lot of quilling/quillography in the poster which I love doing. I made the banner using washi tape; balloons, the clown and the scissor with quilling paper - they r quilled. I have added the clown, banner, the confetti and the mask to indicate carnival; the scissors, button (if u can see it, a white one) and some thread to indicate craft/handmade. The material used is paper, washi tape and glue and the single button ;)
Inspiration - I actually wanted to quill out the word carnival and make it the centre point but it did not come out well so I scrapped the idea and made this poster instead.
Title - Since it is a poster that I have made, let's call it "Poster It"

Title for my work-Dancing peacock.
Time taken-3days(making,baking n painting)
Material used is Indian clay(terracotta).
What inspired me to make it?
This carnival is about colours and any
festival is happiness so a peacock came to my mind as the thought
itself of a dancing peacock stretching its feather brings in colour,
happiness elegance and peace.The glorious colour display raises my
spirit and helps to bring out the best in me.

Title of the project: THROUGH
MY EYES: THE COLORS THAT UNITE US
My name
is Dhanya Surendranath and I am from Kerala. I have done my Masters in Biotechnology and I have also
completed my MBA. I am not employed at present, although I did have a brief
stint as a lecturer, and crafting takes up most of my time these days :) .
When I
heard of Carnival, the first thing that came to mind was the Carnival Eye Mask.
I always wanted to make one and cover it with quilled patterns but it never materialized.
Till now, that is. Holi of course is synonymous with colors. So a Holi
Carnival could only mean a riot of colours on a Carnival mask J.
That’s how
I got to making this project. At first I thought of random patterns in various
colours, but as I progressed, the work began to take a meaning of its own. I
began to think about our country at large and its vibrant hues. So many colours,
so much diversity and yet, they somehow seem to unite us. I thought of colours
that all Indians identify with. The colours of our national flag. The colours
of the peacock, our national bird. The colours of the lotus, our national
flower. Those of the tiger, our national animal. The colours of the rich paddy
fields, the colours of the sea and sand…
I have
tried in my own humble way to showcase these here in this project. The base of
the eye mask is made with glitter paper and the patterns have been made with
quilling strips of various sizes. The mask has been designed in the form of two
hands which are joined, signifying unity. There are two holes in the hands for
the eyes, which is an appeal to my countrymen to open their eyes to the unity
in our rich diversity.
This
work took me a total of three days to make and was one of the most memorable
projects I have worked on. I wish that this Holi, as we drench ourselves and
others in colours, we take a moment to reflect on how much more these different
colours unite us than divide.

Title: Plethora of Celebrations
Thoughts flow-in when you utter “ Holi Carnival”. One can see the plethora of celebrations in my one-of- a-kind painting done for Handmade N Beyond.
Thoughts that struck me to create this fusion : Holi means colours, Carnival means festivals. And I came to a conclusion that I’m gonna make a fusion painting of different festivals combined to form one Story : Colours => Festivals => Happiness.
One can find the following : Holi Festival- Festival of Colours, Carnival – Masks, Rajasthan’s Desert Festival Dance by a multicoloured dressed girl, Govinda (breaking the pot- can be seen above the rangoli) during Krishna Janmashtami, Christmas’ Stars, Mehndi is usually a pre-marriage festival celebrating with a bride and her family, friends, Elephant Festival of Jaipur, Durga Puja, Lantern Festival of China, Dragon Boat Festival of China, Dussehra-Festival of Lights (Can be seen with the Ravana burning by an arrow, Crackers on the sky and with karthigai deepams) & Village Festival in India (One can see the Ferris Wheel, Kids with balloons, Shops). All these are interlinked by a common name “FESTIVAL”, which in turn spreads happiness and living with our tradition. We all assure to make these live for all Generations. (The space was enough to cover the above.)

Name of the Artist : Jayashri S
I
have very recently started playing with polymer clay, my new found
passion. So wanted to make something with the same for this contest.A polymer clay creation in a vibrant colour combination of Yellow, Purple, Pink & Green with a beautiful heart pendant.
"Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it." With the theme of the contest being " Holi Carnival " all i could think of is multitude of colours which add up to the festivity, happiness & joy of carnival.
Holi is the festival of colours, celebrating the arrival of spring.
People get submerged in color powder referred to as " Gulaal" . Hence
the title for my creation ! The floral pattern in the pendant signifies the arrival of spring with early blooms.
Process of making:
The
beads are made using the Extruder technique. The thin strips of polymer
clay were slowly wrapped round each bead to get the extruded bead
texture.
The heart pendant is hand cut with a stencil paper drawing. The intricate flowers in the pendant is made using the Applique Technique of polymer clay making.
Time taken : 5 and half hours for making the entire set( including Baking time).
Material:
The beads, pendant & earrings are made of colored Polymer Clay.
The attachments used are hooks , crimps , barrel clasps and string.
