Kunskapsskolan teachers made a rangoli for my exhibition !

so what's a rangoli ?

it's a folk art from India in which patterns are created on the floor in 

living rooms or courtyards using materials such as

coloured rice, dry flour, coloured sand or flower petals

they are meant to be sacred welcoming areas for the Hindu deities

my exhibition wasn't such an event but I asked if we could make one

just because it's so pretty and it's so India..

a couple of the teachers where happy to do it

so nice and so welcoming

I really need to learn how to .....without any pattern....

wait...no...

maybe it's better for me to have one..

it is supposed to look nice and welcoming

and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't

again thanks to all of you who helped me out !

Photo exhibition at Kunskapsskolan Gurgaon

Thank's to all and everyone who came to look at my pictures 

and an extra thank you to ALL of you at school who helped out !

it was a fun afternoon

nerv wrecking but fun

if anyone had told to me two years ago that I would be having a photo exhibition in India

I would have laughed and thought that they where crazy

and yet here I am...I have done it....

it was especially fun to show some pictures from back home 

since the exhibition was at Kunskapsskolan... 

lots of comments from parents about how beautiful it looks around Abbekas 

I actually think this was the first time ever that Abbekas was being marketed in India !!

I promised my friends and family back home that I would show some pictures of the pictures...

....pictures at an exhibition....

by ??

 anyone who knows who did that song ?

my friend Kathy who's always up for fun photo shoots...

most prominent guests where the Ambassador of Sweden to India

Mr Harald Sandberg and his wife Else..

almost all of the pictures have been posted on my blog..

this time in bigger sizes though..

some framed and some canvas 

but I tell you...it was difficult to choose pictures...

and this is just some of them...

and yes this is what I looked like...

again 

a big thanks to all and everyone !
