Window hanging

I am endlessly fascinated with Batik, unfortunately have not had any chance to do anything about it.

And another thing I absolutely love is mural art. So for this home-improvement excercise of mine, I decided to have a faux-batik border with something to remind me of mural art...

I love the bold colours. I have drawn Krishna and Rukmini, and the lovely clouds with the bold blue borders and a lotus.

Since I was using poplin to draw on , I used fabric colours. I am not very happy with the end results, but an active baby around trying to pull whatever she could reach, it took me longer than expected.

I will be making a few adjustments later on, but for now, I think this is okay to cover up the window.

My attempt at Home improvement - Window

Speaking of view from windows....

There was one window in the house that needed a cover-up very badly...Under an ancient air-conditioner,with the wires hanging from it looking out into the balcony, providing a view of the washing line and some things stored for repair...

I guess Nate Berkus would have extended the curtain rod over the balcony door to cover the window too. My friend who stays in a similar flat has got her window done that way and it looks really elegant..

But as this is not our home, and we are just tenants,making a change was not an option...

Ohhhh..did I mention that this is the first thing anyone would see when they entered our home? yeah this infamous window is in our living room....

So I did what I could to make that window look interesting with the resources at hand.... and between caring for my baby.I would say that it fell a bit short of my expectations, but I just wanted to cover it up ASAP. Maybe at a later date I will get round to modifying it. You can see the result for yourself.

Would dearly like your comments on the same.
