ORIGAMI & QUILLING

My blog is about food and just food, however Aaditya my eight year old has always wanted me to put up some of his origami work in this space of mine....So Aadu here it is...This page is for you.....

As far as I can remember, Aadu had a pair of plastic scissors when he was around 2 years old and he would be so busy cutting paper and doing his own thing....little did I know then, that one day he would come up with such lovely origami stuff, doing it all by himself without the help or supervision of an adult....internet and origami books have been the best sources from where he has learnt so much, all by himself.....Aadu I hope your passion continues....and I hope you do even better....You make me very proud.

PAPER QUILLING...

Quilling is so simple to do and yet such a beautiful form of art. This has been our first attempt at paper quilling together as a mom and son team and it is my little boy who introduced quilling to me. My son finally taught me something to do with paper....and I never thought it would be so addictive, enjoyable and easy to do.....
