Those days most of the ladies used to attend schooling only till their primary or at the max they would have reached the middle school. My grandma was born and brought up in a little village where none of them studied more than 7th class. They get married right away and their lives change drastically. All that they have to do at home is to cook and then spend their time doing some art work or so. No television to entertain and no time killing serials to cry over. So she used to tell me that each and every lady she knew in her place had learnt at least one fine art. :) Wow.. Thats interesting isn't it.
My Grandma is a super active person who always wants to keep her brain and hands busy. She learnt loads of fine arts and also created lot of artistic things herself. Remember its all with the minimal facilities that were available those days.
She is in her late seventies now and she is still active with her creativity. Thats exactly what amazes me always. I love her. :)
She is good at Crochet, Matty, Hand embroidery, Bead work, Wire work, Flower making, knitting etc... the list goes on..
I am presenting few of her creations here for you to take a look. Most of them are around 50 years old. :)
Wire and Bead work
Purses and Bags
Those days there was this fashion of carrying matching bags and purses. Here is my mom's collection that grandma made. :) I preserve them as my treasures.
Crochet and Knitting
Matty work
Miscellaneous Creations
Bride and groom decorated by grandma :)

Oh My ! those creations just awesome and lovely pics too.
Do we ever realize how much we are missing with all the time that we give to TV, comp etc. We do learn a lot from them but we are losing a lot too. Most of all these creations are disappearing as we have no time to make them.
I guess you have this wonderful talent from GRANDMA. Love it. Keep it up!
oh... so pura faily creative...
I knew it... you might have inherited it from somewhere...
Awesome creations...
Thanks for your comments. Also sad to hear that you are also sick.
My friend switched fan at night while watching TV and forgot to keep it off. I got up at 2 AM due to heavy cough and I am unable to sleep again.
So thought of visiting blogs.. and as always yours is the first.
Now its 5:30 and I dont plan to sleep again... god knows what will happen to this sick fellow...
Convey my regards to your grandma for these creative and attractive designs...
Just add her name in place of 'x'
