Mehendhi On My Foot

This is the first one I tried a few years back.

I don't stick to any particular pattern.

This is random - my own design. :-)

After taking it off.

A second one.

Why do I always draw on my right foot only!

Going to try drawing o the left one next time.

Carrot leaves

Carrot leaves!
I tried carving these after seeing the instructions of Senbaga Babu in
http://www.arusuvai.com/tamil/node/29369.

 

Trixie got to try them after that. :-) 

Yum! Yum! Yum!!!

Felt flowers

These aren;t actually 'felt' flowers.

Can you guess what they are made from!

Dry sticks from used old felt pens.

The instructions have been published.... only in Tamil.

Mum's hand

Mum happily let me practice on her hand. 

I must have done this in 2005.

Cricket Trophy Cake

I don't get to make big cakes like this now. When kids were kids, they enjoyed the cakes I made. Some times, the designs were suggested by them and when I couldn't make it exactly the way they wanted, I would try a design that has some connection to their taste.

My son turns 28 today. This cake was made for him on his 23rd birthday. It served two purposes. I took step by step photos so I could get it published in the Tamil website - arusuvai.com

Even though the instructions are in Tamil, I hope the step-by-step photos in this link will help you understand how the cake was made.
