Its been a long time since I did craft of any kind. Last week, in a sudden burst of enthusiasm I took out the box that contained rusted iron bits that I had collected and decided to make a simple collage by adding a few twigs and string. The canvas was of course first painted ochre. It wasn't a flash assembly but I still like the look of the piece. I don't have a camera at the moment so I had to make do with photo booth.
Separately, this weekend over at my aunt's we decided to rent "Love Aaj Kal". I am not sure what the reviews of the movie were like but it was a real turkey. Apart from the poor execution of almost every movie, why does the dialogue in Indian movies always sound fake? Either the people I know are a rarefied lot or the dialogue writers are actually paid to write this bullshit. On David & Margaret's scale, this one was a one at most.
Looks nice! Try more mixed media. BTW just noticed you have 115 posts in 2009! That's more than one every two days. Good-da. Told Appa to read the article and as usual he absorbed it and then stroked his moustache and wandered off to the drawing room - but he's been clearing his throat a few times since, so am inferring it has affected him :-)

ReplyDeletenicee!!:D...m soo inspired to make something out of scraps and pieces now!:-)
ReplyDeletelook forward to seeing it!
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you are saying about the fake dialogue (not so much the lines, but the delivery). It's somehow worse in plays (even though many of the actors speak English as a first language).
ReplyDeleteAnd good for you getting back to art and craft :) Keep at it.
Thanks for the comment, Anaka. I honestly think they need a dialogue school in India!
