When Indira of Mahanandi has announced the Mango Manthram event, I immediately decided to take part in this. Since then I have been scratching my head with thoughts how to do that? I realized it is not that easy creating an art piece about mango, the heavenly fruit, rather than eating it. I thought why Indira didn’t announce Mango Eating Event (he he!). Anyways, I dig a hole in my head by scratching (just kidding) and came up with this bead art. I used different colored beads from my daughter’s bead collection.
What do you say about it? Which one looks better?
In the beginning I also drew two sketches about Mango, but wasn’t satisfied with them. Have a look at them below.
I know you are laughing at my art! Hey, I just gave it a try!
Here is a mango carving by my dear hubby.
My dear friend Andhra Flavors of “For Spicy Lovers” has bestowed the “Yummy Blog Award” on me. Thank you so much for thinking about me, Andhra! You made me so happy.
