Can you explain, mam? What's mesh art? And did your father do it himself? Mymy!!! He must've been a great artist!

We get such work in paper mesh alan. I remeber having one radha-krishna paper mesh work. It faded away after a long time. (to be thrown out when I was in my coll)

IT was GIFTED to him from his company colleagues when he shifted job.

SP, I am a real child in my enthusiasm in collecting shells in any seashore I visit! My family members have a good laugh at my habit of bringing home pebbles from our picnics to any riverbank! Now in Mumbai, during my daily walk in the nearby joggers' park I collect bright red "kunni muththu"!!! My dil is highly amused. I've told her I 'll share the "treasure" with my cosister & get ideas from her about doing some artistic pictures using glue! Have you ever met a crazier person? :lol:

Well....I did hav this hobby, yrs ago....but for a VERY short time.......maybe cos I've lived most of my life in non-coastal aeras! :huh:
So I'd get a chance only wen we visited places like Madras, Vizag etc...:D
But ironically now, even tho I live jus opp. the sea here in Vizag, I don't feel like going down to the beach & looking for shells (its a diff. issue tat the beach here is presently usually littered w/ stuff other than shells!)......
Around 4-5 yrs ago on a visit to Madras we visited an uncle of mine (mom's Perippa's son) who lived in ther old house then.....while 'browsing' thru the house I hap'd to find a huge collection of shells in an old cupboard in ther storeroom!
They seemed to be of many varities, I cudn't see them much in detail as the room was dark/dingy......I guess these wer my uncle's daughters' collection.....!
But I did 'steal' a few from there! :wink: :lol:
Only to eventually lose them.......! :(

Well Madame PP mission accomplished...it sure shocked me but it also kinda stung :( cause yeah none of the pictures I have are like that...I just think they look so idyllic and in-love side by side...hopefully you'll spear your humour not only at my expense :P

pp maam,

I do understand what fun it is to collect shells. I had a lil collection (collected over time,during my college picnic, or family outing to seashore). Its great to watch the colorful ones esp also queer shaped cute ones.

I never had an idea of making any artistic piece out of it. Guess was too lazy.

No u are not crazy. I suppose u are one enthu lady, with bubbly interests :)

lambretta,

:)

Great to know u stole some collections :D . I actually did not steal......... BUT TRADED a cheap stamp with a costly or rare one (cheated :D :oops: ) iwth my friend.

interesting to recollect back. :)

Um..SP, it was the bunch of shells tat I 'stole'......not stamps; rather those were stolen from me! :( :cry:

SP, as I grow older I find myself finding better adapted to my grandchildren's likes, dislikes, favourite pastimes, fancies more than to the hard realities of the practical adult world :wink: An added responsibility to my dils :lol:
