Hello peeps....this is Rituparna from "THE ENTICING CREATION" coming with my GD inspiration on Scraps N Pieces-The Blog. Thanks for giving me this wonderful opportunity, I am so glad.

I come from a small city Berhampur which has an immense historical importance for West Bengal but also for the whole country.
I ‘ve been passionate about art and craft since my childhood. After completing my Masters in Political Science, I was involved in an 9 hours job, that could not give me mental satisfaction. Following my inherited know-how towards crafting skills, I started enhancing theoretical knowledge by attending several courses of Art & Crafts and Mural Art at Holy Child School of Fine Arts - Mumbai.
It's long 16 years I am keenly attached with this crafting world through various artist, learning centers, sharing my creativeness with my co-workers. Little commercial deals are also being done by my establishment " The Enticing Creation".
Now, I am settled in Delhi - NCR with my husband and my 2 years daughter. I used to get great inspiration from them. Responsibilities and subsequent work has now got doubled as besides my homemaking I do my craft work full time with shear intensity and dedication.

Today I have my own crafty venture "The Enticing Creation" where I try my best to show my passion through my creations and next level creations like Tanjore painting, Marble minakari, Minakari painting, mixed-media, card making, clay modelling, coloring, layering, collage, decoupage, distressing, altered art and many more. My favorite craft supplies are always pencil and my imagination.

Now my project details..

First, I took a wooden log base and a miniature garden bench and primed with Prima white and black Heavy Gesso.

Then I used different texture pastes to create more interest to the surface.

I added some natural wooden bark and little stones. I love the riverside natural shaped stones.

I added some Moss powder, Ranger opaque texture paste and mini stones.

After that, I colored the natural stones with Prima military rust paste.

I colored the whole base with Lindy’s Sprays.

I colored my paperembellishments with chalk paints, Prima acrylic paint and Impasto paint.

Then, I painted all spring wooden alphabets with chalk paints.

After assembling all the parts, I added some miniature grass, coconut sisal, handmade flowers and miniature succulents
I did some shading on the garden bench with Prima Μetallique Old Silver for a vintage look. Also added on some floral wire and water drops.
