Imagine... by Anupama Choudary


Hi there! This is Anupama here for Kay's March Challenge -
You Color My World!
And the subject of my project is
India...
Resplendent in infinite ways, it fuels my imagination,
 inspires me & breathes life into my art!  


I dressed Marivic's lush tag with jewellery and a tilak.

India is replete with colors from mystical whites to rich jewel tones!

Texture, texture, texture...
DecoArt stencils and masks work beautifully!

I used a combination of brush-on Glitter paint, Acrylics, Ultra Frost and Glamour Dust.

 Tilak is worn on the Ajna Chakra, the centre of forehead - the point at which the third eye or the spiritual eye is believed to open.
