Dastkar 2010 started yesterday and of course I had to be there asap. With DH travelling, Sara and I decided to go and have some fun! Sharing some glimpses of the wonderful Dastkar Mela! Its the perfect time for an open air thingie at Delhi, so all of you who stay in and around Delhi and love to see creative stuff, do take out some time to go there! Its on at the IGNCA Lawns, Janpath (Right opposite the National Archives, at the Rajpath - Janpath intersection) from the 12th to 21st of February.
And for those of you who can't make it to the fair, here are some glimpses!
The venue has lots of colorful elephants & cute little monkeys
Check out this wall art!
My absolute fav and seemed like the crowd's fav too!
Sondha, the Garden Shop run by Vinita Nath.
Though not a big fan of dry/ artificial foliage, I thought this looked pretty
I lost my heart to these wooden lanterns and bells
Aren't these kantha mosaics perfect for any child's room? Check out the detailing.
One of my all time favs, jugaad!
Cane baskets...ummm...no lamps!
Whimsical cushion covers & art on fabric by sumearth
Will these fishes fly!
Gorgeous! Isn't it?
Check out these colorful wallets & key rings
Beads, Beads and some more beads!

Ooh this is lovely work. I loved the garden shop, the mosaic art for kids and the wooden lamps.
Did Sara have fun? My little one is a great companion at these art fairs...makes up for the lack of interest from DH :)

How I miss India.
The winters and these fairs. My home there was full of these things.
Bless you for posting Dastkar pictures.
