Colors of the cosmos......








Shiva's eye....


This lil shell is called Shiva's eye, it can be found on the beaches of Goa. It comes from the mermaid snail. You can find all kinds of jewellery made from these shells in Goa, I have used them to make pendants by embedding them into an resin based epoxy or polymer clay. Polymer clay is a lil troublesome as it needs to be baked, an air drying clay is more convenient.

Carving stone


I like to pick up ramdom pieces of stone and carve them into something cool, this piece below is a piece i found on the road. I started with the Aum and soon everything else just fell into place. This was the first piece of stone i had carved on. Before that it was just some stone chillums, their pics will be uploaded too.


These little pieces of stone are from the little Vagator beach, Goa. This is a soft gray rock that is easy to shape and carve on, they make really cool pendants and you carry a piece of Goa around your neck, cool eh?





This lil piece i found on little vagator near the Shiva head, it is now my favorite piece of jewellery.

Pursuing passions.....


Expressing yourself in any way that offers release and peace is something that everyone must inculcate in their everyday life. Some of the simplest things can make a huge difference. I have always been a very impatient person yet surprisingly my passions were things that needed patience and slowly over the years this has thought me patience and peace.
With me carving stone, painting, writing and any other way i can express myself helps bring about a peace so deep, its hard to describe in words. It's taken years to achieve this state but only because i fought it and never believed. Now that it a part of my life things happen naturally.
The thing is to let go of beliefs and be open to possibilities, when you are open without any fixed picture of the outcome, you open the door of perception and your options are infinite.
