Enjoy these lovely, colorful applique embroidered lampshades handmade in India. Among the traditional textiles of India, the art of applique work occupies a distinguished place. Applique, which is a French term, is a technique by which the decorative effect is obtained by superposing patches of colored fabrics on a basic fabric, the edges of the patches being sewn in some form of stitching. The base cloth is usually colored. Some of the specially prepared motifs have exclusive embroidery work and some have mirror work. It is Orissa and especially in Pipli that the craft has a living and active tradition continuing over centuries. As with many other handicrafts of Orissa, the roots of the applique craft form is interwined with the traditions of Lord Jagannath, the deity of the Puri temple. The applique items are mainly used during processions of the deities in their various ritual outings. The stitching process varies from item to item and come under six broad categories. Sometimes embroidered patterns are also used and in a few items mirror work is incorporated. The layout of various motifs and patterns vary according to the shape of the piece. Of the more common motifs are the elephant, parrot, peacock, ducks, creepers, trees, flowers like lotus, jasmine, half moon, the Sun and Rahu.

4 Crafts & 1 snack. My friend and I are room mothers for our kids kindergarten class. I have searched the internet up and down but don't really find anything interesting. We are trying to come up w/ some cute ideas but haven't really found any yet. The kids only go half day, so we only have 2 hours to do this party. The rules are no christmas things, like santa, christmas trees, and whatever else might be related(which I think is stupid). So I'm assuming that we can't do any Hanukkah related themes either. But Anyways.. we need to come up w/ 4 crafts for the kids to do, and a snack to make. The thing w/ the snacks is.. we can't make them at home, or prepare for them @ home.. We have to prepare everything at the school (I think b/c of things like hepatitis) . We have like 1/2 hour to get things ready for the kids while they are in their special (gym, etc) if that helps. I really would like some cute suggestions that might be memorable for them and any ideas like keepsakes that their parents would like to keep around. I know this might be asking for too much, but I'm just hoping to get some ideas to roll w/. We can do anything else to do w/ winter, like snowman, etc. Also we can't have the kids exchange gifts or anything along those lines. These rules are limiting our ideas so-- We really need some assistance and Thank You Very much; Your ideas are very much appreciated!!!! OH YEAH - We need to come up w/ a game too! I think there is a kitchen available, not too sure, but I think so. We aren't doing anything to do w/ Thanksgiving. The teacher said she's doing that holiday on her own. So I just really need winter party ideas. Thanks for your answer though, My daughter came home from school w/ crafts that you just mentioned. I guess the teacher and you think alike! (more...)

My grandmother is 69. She's very religious (Christian), has had little education (only reads the Bible and the Phone Book), and is a Harley Davidson fan (been motorcycling with my grandfather since they MET). She's not much into material things, doesn't collect knick-knacks or anything, doesn't watch movies, and isn't interested in crafts like knitting or pottery or anything. I'm trying to think of an inexpensive, functional gift I can give her for Christmas. She winters in Florida with my grandfather... maybe I can get her something she could use down south? Or maybe just a modest, sensible gift, like spoons. Help me out. I'm really lost and she won't tell me what she wants! :( (more...)

I like giving Christmas presents to all of my friends around that time, but I don't have a whole lot of money. Does anyone have any good ideas for small meaningful gifts to give to my guy and girl friends? I'm a Christian so I would also welcome ideas that could include scripture, Godly encouragement, etc. I can make craft items if that helps anything. I would like my gifts to look nice and sincere, but not look cheap or silly. Thanks! (more...)
