The Surajkund Mela near faridabad is an annual event that takes place in the month of February for 15 days. Every year one state hosts the mela, and promote their culture , art and cuisine. This year (2020) the chosen state was Himachal Pradesh. Also, 20 countries participated in the craft festival.  One could spot Madhubani paintings , Egyptian art , mandalas , handmade bangles etc. The mela is always vibrant but very crowded. The ideal time to visit Surajkund is around 11 AM. After that , the mela starts getting crowded and it becomes impossible to even find a parking spot. This art work is a mix of mandala and madhubani. If you are an art enthusiast , you must visit the mela. This art piece is from an Egyptian stall. Egyptian art is unique and a cool gifting option.It would also provide an artistic touch to your living area. The fair also has art and craft pieces made by Haryana jai...

Create cool stuff with absolute trash

I know the title is a bit pretentious but hang on, I will justify it by the end of this article. Before I was about to join college, my mom asked me to discard the unnecessary stuff and that's when the idea of transforming and reusing my old stuff struck me. So , I started working on an old, ugly pair of white shoes ( which were brown and dirty by now) I picked up my fineliners and started drawing on the shoe. It was turning out to be fine so I continued I splashed some colour too and this is how they turned out to be. They looked pretty decent and I could totally wear them now.  I used fineliner pens , acrylic paint and a ribbon. That's all you need to show your creative talent and reuse your stuff. I'll also attach Amazon links of the material you can use. The idea of reusing things can be used on old denims , old shoes ,mugs ; basically anything and everything.
