My Header

Some one was asking me the other day about the collage I have on my header. I don't know whether I can call it as a collage or not. Any way, you can see lots of arts n crafts there; Crochet, Kutch work, Kanta work, Applique, mirror work, Banjara work, Kalamkari, dolls, wooden toys, bangles and embroidery materials.

Some of them, I have done myself, some are from my collections.

I have many more but could not fit in there. Already I think its too garish, but I just wanted to give you all a glimpse of at least some of the beautiful Indian arts and crafts.

I am going to post about each of them separately in my posts on various arts and crafts of India and across the world.

So keep watching my blog.......
