A Festive Extravaganza

Welcome winter with heaps of celebrations, weddings and festivities. The Bling in the dresses, the glowing lights and decorations and sparkling diamonds on the jewelry, all seem to be capturing the attention of our eyes.

To glam up these winters, “The house of Minawala”, a leading jewelry brand in India recently launched their extravagant collection of wedding jewels. Minawala celebrates the moment of togetherness with finely crafted designs. They are a brand known for their heritage, craftsmanship and as a connection between the tradition and modernity.

In their new range of wedding collection, one can find a range of opulent rubies, emeralds, pearls and polka diamonds in kundans/Jadau styles perfectly coordinated with each other. They are designed with a modernistic approach as in chokers, cocktail rings, chandelier earrings, marvelous cuffs. ‘A perfect marital bliss for the bride’- they quote for the launched wedding collection.

The launch event also organized a fashion show of their collection and other popular clothing brands such as Avirate, Rumour, Kimaya and many more. A sneak peek into the trending styles of festive wear – use of velvets, gold embroidery, loads of zari, brocades and the rich colors of the season.








An extravaganza is was! 
Cheers

HOW CREEPY AND CREATIVE: EMBROIDERY ON X-RAY

Whats your first thought? 
*creepy*   
*creative*  
*both*      
*none*


Philadelphia-based artist Matthew Cox layers embroidery on top of medical x-rays to create these wonderfully weird pieces. The clash of two such divergent materials, cloth and plastic, already seems strange enough but add in the fact that one is quick and technical while the other is labor intensive and you have something that's quite thought-provoking.

what an odd thought?
Words that seem to come up repeatedly are anachronistic, labor-intensive, meticulously crafted, and creepy, that's what the observers say! No wonder they say there's always so much new to do and explore even after the discovery of the different apples (in case you are wondering- I am talking about Newton's, Eve's and Steve's Job's apple :p) 
creepy at first but yeah, I give a score on the creativity! 


I have no idea how many of us can try it out and frame it on the wall in our rooms! I fear of skeletons!..ewwww!
well..it seems interesting enough to share!
