From the day these asbestos panels were put up on the terrace of my in-laws, my hands were itching to do something on them. To personalise the space, I wanted to decorate them myself and I took 2 days to complete this work and by this I mean that I just completed 1 panel out of the 6 panels. I was very eager to share this with all my readers. As a professional designer and a decorator, I am against the idea of spending a lot just because you want to beautify a space. I believe the real challenge is when you can decorate a given space with the least of expenses. With this whole idea in mind, I discussed with my father-in-law who was more interested than me to work out something for this space. After identifying that he was interested in something traditional and ethnic, I scouted around for some old calendars. To my surprise I found lovely calendars with motifs of Radha & Krishna. I decided to keep this as my theme and worked on a Decoupage technique with Oil medium. Here are a few pictures of the same.

One finished panel. 5 more to go.
Fortunately, I found a few calendars with Radha & Krishna in different moods. I hope to finish all the panels as soon as possible and showcase them on my blog. Before I forget, I spent only
Rs.250 to do this panel. I still have the paints and the rest of the materials left to finish 1 more panel. Eagerly wanting to do the next one....
Hope you enjoyed this post.................have a great day ahead !!!!!!
