The Christmas Bazaar this year was not any different from the one held last year.
The items on display were almost the same with mostly eatables and most of them related to Christmas and the season.
There was a stall with a variety of wine (and all got sold by evening with only one solitary bottle of Jamun wine left by dusk)
But there was one item which caught everyone’s attention and that is the creativity that was on display.
These framed items were made from biodegradable items and mostly scrap. The material used were torn paper, dry leaves, wild seeds, and crushed eggshells. All stuck on hand made paper.
(the red marking on the above two were to indicate that they were sold)
And these two (below) were made from scrap material, like bottle covers, used felt pen, discarded stone pieces from construction sites, toothpaste covers, torn magazine papers, discarded tiles . . . .......
A few of the frames got sold, but more than the sale it was the appreciation that came in hordes.
Some took down the contact number of the artist so that they could discuss the possibility of getting something custom made later. Some said it was a good idea to give these as gifts for birthdays and special occasions.
The artist will be exhibiting more of her creativity in another exhibition in January.
