Leafy Cards

These hand painted leaves were for sale at Elephanta Island.  How could I resist peacocks?  And the Ganesh is for my engineer son.

A Star Is Born

It didn't look much like a star until now, but it shines brightly.  I like the way it's turning out.

Moonscape

The cliffs fall down to a very bumpy route to the sea.  The colors and sudden rises remind me of a moonscape, which is probably the reason the area is named after the moon.




Indian Candy

We asked the opinion of our local guide about taking home some local candy for friends.  He recommended these.  Most candy, he says, is made elsewhere, but these are authentic.  They truly taste like the fruits, but after a little bit have a slight chili zing to them.

Bit More Blue

There's a little bit more blue and white along with the green done this time.  I think it is beginning to look like a real piece of stitching.

Looking Down

I suffer from vertigo, so it was a bit of a challenge for me to take these two photos.  There are no rails, not even a small curb, to stop you from tumbling down the side.  Scary!


Boxed

I bought so much stuff at one store that I was given a free box!  It's papier mache and hand painted.  I think it's very pretty.
