LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION!



Hours and hours of group meetings, complete with endless food, laughter, gossip, fights and perhaps very little work. That's how most projects back in college got done! 
  
And that is mostly how our year end project – to shoot, style, make up, conjure up, write, and do everything to make a kickass advertising film – went. I won't disclose the results...*ahem*..we were great...mostly.


The idea was to style a bachelor pad, a one room apartment, in all its messy glory after a night of drunken revelry. After days and days of looking around we chanced upon this attic space that made each one of us smile a goofy grin! It was one of those dreamy attics that you always want to live in just once! Nevermind that all the windows were sealed shut, the floor peeling, dirt permanently glued to places and it being the most barren of places around. We had a lot of work ahead! And a day to set the place up!


And voila! Like a proud parent i present the after to a lot of hardwork and a lot of fun! We dusted, mopped, peeled off the shut windows, borrowed a fridge, a tv, and other knick knacks. And at the end of it all, we just sat here like regular college friends, eating pizza and making the place a mess. Like a real one room house!


Ofcourse the pretty needed to be marred with the actual effects of the night's revelry. Bottles were strewen around, last night's pizza boxes came to good use, books, clothes, boxers, the never ending list...




We didn't have enough cushions and thus ended up using random scraps of fabric to fill in empty cushion covers. We scouted thrift stores, sales, dumpyards, our own houses and even friends houses! 
 
It's funny that a part of each one of ours' personality made the sum total of the final result...

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
