in your arms..

You are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I´ve missed you quite... missed you quite."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

Here in your arms
Then here in your arms

It was halloween night..

..when I sketched this :P

Your love is like a sunset..

Your love is like a sunset,
wild, bright and true.
The colors blend together,
forming a magical hue.
The day's warm caress
is slipping through the air,
just as though your fingers
would be slipping through my hair.

I sit and watch the sunset,
knowing it soon will end,
thinking of you and
waiting 'til we will be together again.
Slowly now it's going,
coming to a end.
Darkness may be closing in,
but the fun has just begun.

For now I can go home,
go to my darkened room,
lie on the bed and
close my eyes,
fall asleep and dream of you.

For the love of Nature..

..I start sketching again after a long gap. Just a simple 30 min sketch to rekindle the spirit of sketching. And what could be more perfect than a nice landscape. For it's all about my love for Nature :-)

Just to clarify..

..that I haven't given up making cosmetics after starting sketching :P
I don't do it every weekend though- just imagine how would I use all the stuff if I keep making every weekend..agreed I give them as gifts too..but still :))

These are some of my recent creations -
Milk Bath Bombs - Yes ofcourse the signature ingredient being Milk Powder to add more moisture. Also tried to color them this time to make them look pretty.
Pink - Pink food grade colorant
Creamy Yellow - Annatto Seeds infused olive oil
Light Purple - Blueberry fibers with some dried lavender petals on top

Oh I really don't intend to include artificial cosmetic colors :-)

Soaps -
100% olive oil facial soap - for olive oil makes the most gentle soap and how can we compromise with something that goes on the face :P

Layered round soap - made in paper cups. Green color comes from food grade chlorophyll and the pink comes from lip safe merlot mica. And the cream colored ones have marigold petals :-)

Now you know I haven't been a slug after all :-)

Walk hand in hand with me....

Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
Walk with me

Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
So lift your head up high and look up to the sky

Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
Walk with me

Why do I have to overdo stuff?

So I did this boat pastel sketch earlier in the day..that should have been enough for the day right? But no, I always have to overdo stuff and screw up!! Obviously you can't do something with the same attention and focus when you have exhausted your energy on other things (in my case it was - sketching, laundry, vacuuming, cooking!)

look at this screwed up sketch..I feel sorry :-(
I was trying to sketch my cutie niece - Vridhi....I had done half of it before..it was only in pencil..I should have contained myself, but I got carried away with the pastels!! I don't think it was a good idea to include pastels here! The sketch in pencil looked a lot better..but I somehow wanted some color and the results are-----sob sob :-(

Anyway lessons to learn!! Patience...have patience..patience is the key!!
