  This intricately designed art improves concentration and focus. Further your right brain starts working creatively and coordination of brain and hand is greatly improved. This art was a creation by my mother, Ms. Shanthi Balakrishnan. This was one of her lockdown experiments. 

Wall hanging based out of cardboard - Lock down art 1

      Online shopping has left us with a large number of cardboard boxes used in packing these deliverables. A variety of things can be done by reusing or up-cycling these cardboard boxes. Some of these include use as organizers by wrapping with gift wrappers, pen holders, DIY organizer for dresses, degradable plant holders etc. However, my creative mind always wanted to do something decorative to hang in my house. Thus I came up with this idea! For this art I had used cardboard boxes cut into specific shapes and wrapped then with felt paper. Mirrors, beads, jewellery making raw materials and silk threads were used to decorate the animals. They were roped together with a twine and wooden beads were used in between to add colour to the entire craft work. In the free end a hand made tazzle added finish to the work.
