Lotus Flower and more and more... Samsam en Inde




Lotus flower, symbol of eternity and good fortune



















The day a new adventure saw its beginnings, I decided to write my experience in Color Land, day by day, just to log what strikes me the most.

Day one, I created a new blog and named it Samsam en Inde, inspired by the one and only Tintin, "Tintin au Tibet" in particular. It wasn't long before I realized that it is very challenging, here in Color Land, to state accurately all features and aspects of life, as it turns out that every single detail, day in day out, is a subject matter by itself.

Shortly after, those little details became overwhelming and confusing to the point where it was hard to decide what to talk about and what to discard. I might also add that no new adventure is easy to come into existence, no matter how colorful and rich it is.

Adventures are abundant in emotional struggles, physical adjustments but mostly great pleasure and gaiety.























Five months into the adventure, I realized that time is flying by and I am not logging this series of  unique observations. I did not see the need of seperating my blogs so Samsam en Inde merged with my favorite Eclectic Art Moments and suddenly I feel like writing again. I feel like painting again.

I chose to start  with a happy theme, a vivid and spiritual aspect of daily life here in India: FLOWERS

At this point, I leave you with the pictures that I took in Koyambedu Market, starting with the beautiful lotus flower, symbol of eternity and good fortune for the people of Color Land.

Roses, marygolds,jasmins, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple and more and more...


Flowers add charm and grace to happy occasions

Red and black

I  missed my blog but have been busy preparing for a craft show coming in two weeks. It's my  new collection of  crafty ideas. I wish I can walk you through my workshop but I don't seem able to set a foot in it without the risk of messing up clay that is not totally dry or spilling glaze here and there. I have done it already and learned my lesson.  The only painted clay is those miniature bowls representing my poppy field that normally announces spring and I repeat normally because it seems that this winter is endless. Winter is my favorite season but not in April.

Who says that every long weekend has to be spent somewhere away from home? I enjoyed every bit of multitasking on this Memorial weekend. In fact, I painted and spring cleaned and painted and cooked and painted and had time to run errands with my family and painted and biked and painted again and drove through the storm (that was scary!). I had my paint brushes handy and used them sporadically throughout the three days, in between little trivial jobs that didn't seem boring or annoying afterall.
