Come the scorching summer , and the trees of mangoes are a sight to behold..Laden with the King of Fruits , the mango trees in India are a mouth watering delight to the young and old . And I am no more immune to the lip smacking and mouth watering fruit.than all the other Indians out here!
The trees , respledent with the fruit , gently swaying in the cool morning breeze, and the plump ripe mangoes , waiting to be eaten , transforms me in a mood of eternal happiness . It take me back in time , to my childhood days , when I eagerly waited for my school to close for summer holidays . The days were filled with playing under the shade of mango trees, plucking the fruit ( away from the hawk eyes of the elders ) and eating the raw mangoes . Also it was a time when afternoons were spent learning a new craft skill and start a summer project.
Even today , though I don`t get as much time , summer is a season that takes me back to the lovely time of my life .
So ......... here`s a bouquet of various articles I have created , as a fond memory to all the beautiful "Summers in my life " !
A kutchwork saree with the beautiful Mango motifs in pallu . Keeping it simple , the border has spaced out tiny motifs in a similar theme.
Here`s a Bhagalpur silk saree that I assembled and stitched. Though the border is machine embroidered , this combination reminds me of the green n fresh raw mango and sweet n juicy ripened mango ,( both mouthwatering in different ways .)
Wanted to try my hand at some paper and wire jewelry and this is what I came up with
A mango shape that I cut out from an old wedding invitation and outlined with wire wrap . I wrapped wire around the punched holes to hold the paper in place .
, So what do you think? Does the summer hold similar memories for you too?
