Some new beaded crafts for new year 2008

Beaded handicrafts expanding very highly and its also getting very high response in international market, India is a country of crafts, handicrafts may be only India have a great experience to create beaded handicrafts. And with his good quality many foreigners attract toward India and getting good stuffs from here to decorate their houses, offices etc.

Now here we have one new good beaded boxes and mobiles stand which are very attractive and manufactured with red beads and black genuine fabric and we also used him shells and Frozea stone which is very costly in international market. And its very impressive.

After getting good responce from beaded handicrafts we are getting started to manufacture some of new handicrafts. The concept collages, created in the first week of my illustration class, were followed up by a few illustrations in a medium of our choosing. I decided to use sumi watercolors since I thought it would be more interesting to use something I’ve never really done before. I found it a good opportunity to try something new.

Pictured to the left is an illustration of a scene from “East O’ the Sun, West O’ the Moon” in which the main character is taken by a polar bear into a castle inside a cliff wall. I found the composition strong but the balance of dark and light could use some improvement. Clearly at this point I still needed some practice. (Right: detail of the border)

For our midterm we were to choose a famous illustrator to write a report on and present to our class. We were also required to make a final illustration for the stories we selected in the style of this artist. I chose to research Alphonse Mucha because I love his strong compositions and linear rhythms. Also the lithograph process he used looked as though it could be imitated with watercolors. Pictured on the left is one of Mucha’s many inspiring images. To the right is my midterm illustration depicting the scene in which the main character is sitting outside the castle with a golden apple, carding comb, and spinning wheel. She uses each item in turn as payment to make her way into the castle. And all this its really very attrective any fine.

Fashionista's Gift Guide ... With Some Help From Lauren Conrad and Rachael Leigh Cook

They may live in mansions and travel by private jet, but young starlets aren’t much different than your sister or mom. They appreciate the simple pleasures in life — such as purple shoes and pink bags.

FOXNews.com spoke with Hollywood hotties Rachael Leigh Cook and Lauren Conrad to find out what’s big this holiday season. Their response? Fashion, fashion and more fashion!

(If the woman in your life is far from a fashionista, search for more ideas.)

A Shoo-In

"What women really want is shoes," Cook, of "She's All That" fame, told FOXNews.com. "And it's not impossible to do if you check her size" and buy the same brand, she said. "Tracing the sole of her favorite shoe on a piece of paper to bring to the department store would also work," she added.

Paris Hilton’s stylists Emily Current and Meritt Elliott agreed.

“We’re always getting calls from our clients looking for the perfect boot for the cold,” Current and Elliott said in an e-mail. “We also find ourselves on the phone searching for a great holiday heel in just their size. We love Cesare Paciotti and Signature Report!”

Beadwork

Beadwork is the art or craft of attaching beads to one another or to cloth using a needle and thread. Most beadwork takes the form of jewelry or other personal adornment, but beads are also used in wall hangings and sculpture.Beadwork techniques are broadly divided into loom and off-loom weaving, stringing, bead embroidery, bead crochet, and bead knitting.Most cultures have employed beads for personal adornment. Archaeological records show that people made and used beads as long as 5000 years ago. Beads have also been used for religious purposes, as good luck talismans, and as curative agents.

Hey,

Well a friend of mine threw a beading party tonight. It was so much fun! Ah, I had a blast. And she had some new beads I hadn't seen before (so I got some *smile*). I told my friends I had started a "blog" and that they should check it out. They laughed at me. That's ok though because I just can't help but share this wonderful creative craft. I think everyone should learn it.

Aren't they just georgeous? Best of all they are so easy to make! Oh I think I'm in love.

So how about you. Do you have a blog? Did your friends laugh at you when you started it? Should I keep it up or are my friends right and I should give it up (not that I could)? Please post a comment - you can remain anonymous :)

I'm off to bed. I'll be sure to post soon!

Tips for Men's clothing

So many guys have no idea how to dress, so kudos to you for taking the initiative! Being shy can be tough, but you can get yourself out of your shell a bit simply by dressing confidently.
You are 100% correct about everything fashionable not working for everyone. I don't think you should go down the "trendy" route per say. Go for classic cuts that flatter your body type. Some basics you should start with: a pair of dark-wash straight-leg jeans, a pair of black dress pants, tan dress pants, dark colored button-up shirts, a nice fitted sweater (NO, not the tight turtleneck ones--opt for a looser version), and some everyday shoes like brown dress boots.
When you walk into a store, look around before you do anything else. If you look at clothes and think: these aren't for me, then move on. American eagle is a great store for basics that are a little more casual. They have nice khaki pants and jeans, and a few fun buttons up shirts. Express Men's is another store I recommend. There, you will find dressier stuff, like black and tan dress pants, and some dressier tops.
Don't be afraid to ask sales people for help--that's their job and you will probably save them the boredom of standing around with nothing to do. First, look around the entire store. If you find something you might like, try it on, or ask a sales person if they think it would work well for you, and what to wear with it. They will be glad to help, I promise.
And the most important rule is to try everything on! Make sure that it fits properly before you buy it (ask a trusted friend or a salesperson).
For basic everyday wear, I always love guys in nice fitting jeans (not too short or too tight and something with a dark wash). Steer clear of really light wash Levis. They are not flattering on anyone. For dressier pants, a nice khaki pant is always good. For these, it is worth it to spend a little money because you will get more wear out of them. So they should fit really well.
You can actually find nice ones at the gap or men's express. For casual-wear, t shirts are always good. I'm a fan of the ones that have a bit of a vintage feel. Just make sure that the shirt is fitted. Most guys buy shirts way too big and the end result is that they look sloppy. It shouldn't be ridiculously skin-tight, but it should lay against the skin a bit. For dressier shirts, I LOVE express for men. I promise they aren't paying me to tell you this, but that store is great for guys.
They have really nice button up shirts for $25 and they fit really well, because they have a bit of stretch in them. They have so many different colors. Do yourself a favor and stay away from pink and purple. Not many guys can pull it off and it's too tricky. Go for a blue shirt to match your eyes. Probably any darker color would go well with your hair...dark green, burgundy, etc. So those are all the basics. Get yourself a good pair of jeans, a nice pair of khakis, a few fitted t-shirts, and a couple button down shirts and you should be good to go.

Wedding Gowns

Since the Queen Victoria wedding in 1840, however, the white is remained the traditional color for dresses and bouquets of marriage. A woman then used her dress for the presentation of court after marriage, usually with a different blouse. It was allowed color of traditional dress of marriage, but the dresses of marriage were not always white.

The marriage of the Victoria Queen to her Albert cousin of Saxony Cobourg in 1840 had more influence on marriages than very other. The Victoria Queen put moving the wheels by the marriage in the white. Although the bride continued with wed in dresses of various colors, the white was now placed while the color of the choice for marriages and continued since. In Book de Godey of Madam, 1849, this report/ratio was printed: the "habit decided, of the ages youngest, that the white is the suitable majority of tonality, that which can be the material.

It is an emblem of the purity and innocence of the girlhood, and unsullied the heart which it now reports to selected." There is an old poetry about the way in which the color of your dress of marriage will influence your future: "married in the white, will have chosen you well. Married in the gray, you will leave far. Married in the black, you will wish yourselves back. Married in the red, you will wish yourselves deaths. Married in blue, you will be always true. Married in pearl, you will live in a gyratory movement. Married in green, ashamed to be seen, married in yellow, to be ashamed of the comrade. Married in the brown one, you will live out of the city. Married in the pink, your spirits will go down."

The white is always the higher favorite for dresses of marriage by exclusive range of wedding dress in the traditional white color. What have the the sublime quality conceived by Andy of originator of seam which believes that less are more, these wedding dresses are made as a part of of art which they are white very light and other nuances of white color was employed to however give him the traditional contact they are modern. The dresses of marriage were not always refined, as many are today.

At the eighteenth century, the poor bride got dressed in simple evening gowns. This symbolized with her husband-to-be whom it introduced with nothing with it into the marriage and would thus not charge of any debt. It did not take place until the semi nineteenth century which wraps it all-white marriage became ala mode. To the top up to that point of a bride simply her best dress carried, independently of its color. In 1840, the pure white dress of the Victoria Queen began the tendency that many women follow today.
