Elephant Head Wall Decor

I love doing projects around the house, especially ones that involve decor. I came across an old Indian Elephant Head decor at my parents place. I really liked it (since Im crazy about elephants) and decided that it would look better with a modern twist. So I decided to spray paint it White. Here are the results:

I began by taking the head out into our backyard. I sanded down the wooden head piece and then prepped it for spray paint. Using RustOleum's primer+white spray paint, I sprayed the head evenly. Unfortunately the paint didnt stick too well and started have some pink spots. I ended up liking this look.

After spray paint and a day of good drying outside. I used Craft smart's Gold paint pen to highlight some of the decorations. I really like how it looks now in my room. Here is a view of it in my room.

Faire La Noce for Jute Magazine

I did this shoot a while back. It was probably one of the hardest to get published. Just didn't understand why. I am so glad it is finally out! This team and I worked super hard for these pictures. Learnt so much in this shoot. It was the first time ever I had 23 people working on a shoot. It was definitely a day to remember. Lots of stories. Thank you team for all you effort. I know your frustration but it is finally here.

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a wonderful new year! If anything, Ive learnt that its not about setting resolutions or goals for each year. But rather putting more energy and working harder towards what you believe. Heres to more hoping, dreaming, believing and doing!

On that note, I am so excited to share that I just bought myself a Canon 5D Mark III. I have to thank my baby bro, amma and daddy for all the support. They still haven't given up on my dreams. Whatever little success I have gotten is because of them. Thank you from my entire heart! Love you!

Here are pictures of me unpacking the beauty! Thank you for your continuous support. I am so excited to jump into more future projects. I want to sign off saying: Dare to dream a little bigger, darling!
