Its been almost a decade since I last made Diwali cards. It was ritual for me since my school days. Every year, before Diwali, I would make at least 30-40 cards to be given to friends and relatives. Each card would be handcrafted or painted and would be unique. Moreover, each year I would try different things and even different themes.
One year they would be pencil sketches, other they would be some cut and paste work. At one time I also remember making cards from dried flowers and leaves. The last one I remember was made in my architecture years. I had newly learned the technique of using Rotoring Point pens for rendering. So I decided to make cards using this technique, creating traditional lamps, fireworks etc. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of these art work. Only I have are the sweet memories of them.
This year, I decided to give them a try again. Here are some photos using Acrylic colours.
