http://hopehandcraft.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Our Friends of Nature. Monday, 19 August 2013. Handmade clay figurines - A winter story. I went crazy with the natural clay that I bought. Made tiny figurines and tried to weave a story around them. I love to listen to stories and also cook up some. This one is called A Winter Story; a family of penguins have made a snowman and are admiring it. Christmas trees stand watching the fun. :). Hello and Welcome :). Sharing with you today is a Home plaque made of natural clay. My other blogs are:. Picture Windo...

Asha's Handicrafts: Handmade clay figurines - A girl and her garden
http://hopehandcraft.blogspot.com/2013/10/handmade-clay-figurines-girl-and-her.html
Our Friends of Nature. Friday, 18 October 2013. Handmade clay figurines - A girl and her garden. As kids, we all dream. I tried to make one such dream of mine. A little girl sitting on a bench made of wood, surrounded by a friendly ladybug and tiny mushrooms. I made these figurines using natural clay, and then colored them with acrylic paints. Instead of buying new dolls, for the Dasara festival this year, I kept the handmade dolls. Nice sense of satisfaction! Labels: girl sitting at her garden.

Let's holiday!: Taktsang Palphug Monastery or Tiger's Nest, Paro
http://onholidaytours.blogspot.com/2015/05/taktsang-palphug-monastery-or-tigers.html
Friday, 8 May 2015. Taktsang Palphug Monastery or Tiger's Nest, Paro. Continued from " National Museum and Rinchen Pung Dzong. The monastery hangs on a cliff at 10, 240 ft and about 3000 ft above the Paro Valley. There's a waterfall on the trek path and a wooden bridge is constructed across it; the waterfall is about 200 ft. During the rainy seasons, crossing this bridge is next to impossible; in fact, trekking to this place is next to impossible! With a hiking stick in hand, a backpack on my back, and a...

http://onholidaytours.blogspot.com/2015/05/drive-through-dochula-pass.html
Tuesday, 5 May 2015. Drive through Dochula Pass. Continued from " Early Morning Stroll in Thimphu. We drove from Thimphu to Punakha, excited to get a glimpse of the Himalayan range at the Dochula Pass. On a good day, the Himalayas can be seen from this pass. Our fingers were kept cross, hoping that the weather would be good. The Queen Mother, Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, got the monument built in honor of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck. I was thrilled to met two Kannadiga families; chatted with them and got...

Asha's Handicrafts: Crochet Flowers
http://hopehandcraft.blogspot.com/2013/11/crochet-flowers.html
Our Friends of Nature. Monday, 18 November 2013. Most of the younger generation hasn't been involved in these crafts. That's only because of lack of time. In an attempt to learn from the talented ladies, I bought crochet hook and wool. My aunt and mom taught me a design or two along with the basic crochet stitches. I'm still learning and experimenting. It's totally fun especially to spend time with them. :-). Presenting my humble attempt to crochet flowers. 21 November 2013 at 02:34.

Asha's Handicrafts: Hand Embroidery on Saree
http://hopehandcraft.blogspot.com/2013/10/hand-embroidery-on-saree.html
Our Friends of Nature. Monday, 21 October 2013. Hand Embroidery on Saree. I bought a cotton silk saree with single-color thread weaved as borders; top border being Red, and bottom one being Purple. The Purple border didn't stand out, and therefore, I decided to outline the border motifs with hand embroidery. Currently, I am using Chain Stitch for the flowers as shown in the photo.

Let's holiday!: January 2015
http://onholidaytours.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 5 January 2015. Photo-blog of Sri Lanka. The roads at Sri Lanka are fantastic; it's a pleasure to drive on such roads. I wish to elaborate, but I can only summarize our travel experience. That being Christmas and New Year season, almost all hotels and resorts had an interesting spread of dishes and wines; most colorful and tasty were the desserts. Aren't the photos tempting? The center photo is of curds made from buffalo milk, sold in plenty, and served with palm sugary or honey. The hill ranges,...

The next place of interest was the Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup nunnery, built at Omolatsekha. The monastery has a two-storied temple, a chorten in Nepal's style of architecture, and a nunnery complex. Well, yes, it's all about the location, isn't it? The nunnery is at an absolute stunning location, onlooking the different valleys. I understand that...
