Beautifully abstract lord Ganesha painting/print on Creations Art Gallery

It is one of the most beautiful abstract paintings of Lord Ganesha I have ever seen. Artist Suchita Pawar has excellently depicted the most striking feature of this Lord Ganesha, which is the trunk, with little shapes that Lord Ganesha is comprised of or is fond of. Other than this the peculiar aspect, rest of the painting is drawn with smiling and calm eyes of the God, making us believe that everything will turn right if we put full faith in it. Also the shades of blue color are indeed used with utmost care. It is painted with acrylic color on canvas base in its original form. On Creations Art Gallery of ours, we have various forms of products that are made up of this painting, such as reprints, reprints with framing, metal prints, mobile covers and many more.

Helen Homes- My valued buyer talks about her best friend Lord Ganesh

I recently got opportunity to interact with Helen, my sweet buyer from etsy shop, and she expessed that lord Ganesh is her best friend. She kindly wrote to me about this bit of a story as to how the friendship happened. Read on-

Ganesh is my best friend. I knew about him and Hinduism on a superficial level but last year my nephew had the good sense to marry ayoung lady from Mauritius whose background was Hindu.

She really is a special woman and I remember saying to her when I met her for the first time that "I loved her elephant."

After reading away and participating in their Hindu wedding ceremony I found I was becoming very attached to Ganesh and his story is so filled with wonder that he will be my friend forever. And he does listen ...and does remove obstacles.

Delighted with great customer feedbacks

Time and again, it boils down to customer feedback, how happy customers are with your product, quality, service and overall business experience when it comes to any business. I am delighted that my little online shop continues to make sales and receive cool customer feedbacks as you can see from here-



I myself am grateful to all my buyers who took time out to provide feeback, and also to all my buyers who are happy with my shop and somehow havent been in a position to find time for themselves due to busy schedules. As long as the experience is worth remembering for them, I am happy.

Great customer feedback always doesnt mean all went well only during the transaction, perhaps in some rare cases, shipping got delayed, customer had some additional queries to the process ..but they were handled well, and in the end outcome was good and customers felt it was money worth spent.

Thanks again to all my buyers..for those who are new to my shop, I have unique collection of handmade artworks, folk art, original paintings are reproductions and some handmade supply artworks also. I ship worldwide from within India. I also have framed artworks as well.

Remembering my father- with this Energy Symbol Om (Aum) Original Painting

It is just a few months father, you have left this wordly world and while I do list his beautiful paintings with fond remembrance, I do miss him a lot. This energy symbol painted by dad indeed depicts endless cosmic energy, that just flows from one form into another and never really gets destroyed. Several meditation practises suggest the practitioners to focus on something peaceful, a symbol or an image in mind. This om (aum) symbol does provide such a 'object' for meditation session. Of course as all our works are, it's a vibrant home decor, wall art work. Check more details at my shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/77963564/sun-like-golden-energy-symbol-om-aum

Price Increase - Justified

As I have announced on my etsy shop http://creations1000.etsy.com/ since last one week or more, I am taking the shop artwork and item prices through a revision, as I complete 2 years of the shop on 10th Feb 2011. It has indeed been an exciting journey for me with several learnings, joys of sales, shipping, feedbacks, improvisations with help of my family, friends and all artists associated directly indirectly. When there are several prices around that I pay for day to day items and I have no control on or get an explanation for price-increases, I feel even more stronger need to justify impending price increases to my customers. I very well am aware how as a buyer feels when the prices we are used to are higher than what we are used to.

Well in the end it is a supply chain isn't? It's a trade off between giving best quality product and service at best price and at the same time, earn enough profit so that your business sustains, grows and you can continue to provide your buyers better services, products with greater innovation and improvising upon quality in a continuous fashion.

With all said, fact is my (our) own supply costs are increasing, be it for example, the material cost for the artworks, usage of better packing material requires better packaging products, increased transportation costs from the time I started and many more. Plus all of us the fellow etsysellers do pay etsy commission as well as paypal commission and I am grateful to all these e-commerce entities involved including google by itself that helps with online purchases appealing despite being a 2D media for selling 3D objects.

Above all, there is value for creativity which is so hard to measure..but it still needs to be measured somehow, in order to be bought or sold. I believe in my own creativity, be it creative writing for products specs, be it photography of the art works and art supplies, be it being an explorer who is constantly searching for the something creative and appealing, be it believing in my own aesthetic sense. I believe in my father's artwork that he has been doing for years as an artist from well known art school in India (JJ school of art) and years and I have been seeing for years and years. I believe in Sri's photography art which is showcased on my shop, I believe in all artists associated with my shop. I believe in all the business suggestions given by my husband and endless thought process gone into making creations-the art shop where it is now.

At the same time in order to attain better growth and also after careful observation of online offline market in terms of prices, I have finally decided to make some increases to the pricing, depending on the item to item. Hope this justifies price increase enough and I assure you that prices would still be reasonable and you will continue to provide us business and help us grow. Thanks.

How To Maximize Benefits of Yoga - 1

As I revise my learnings in Yoga, and also introduce Om and Yoga series on my etsy shop, let me start adding few things on this topic. When one does any Yoga posture, there could be different ways to do each step along with breathing. For e.g.

Option A: One may do more number of yoga postures in certain time interval
Option B: One may do a certain posture for longer duration, thus total number of repeats in a given time interval being lesser than in option A.

So which one is better? Option B. In this quality matters most, doing each yoga exercise with quality, holding for longer time gives better results and most benefits of the same.

All in during the time, one needs to continue normal breathing.
