Divija's experiences with Crafts, Art, Travel and other random things…
I really wish I were more consistent about posting here, but I wanted to pop back in with an update on whatâs been going on. This semester has been incredibly busy. Iâm a sophomore now, which means I get to take classes that are more directly tied to my major. The workload and difficulty have... Continue Reading →
I made this watch this summer break because I've been wanting to get better at PCB design and level up from programming microcontroller boards to bare chips. I spent the last two and a half months interning at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. During my internship, I worked on developing a calibration protocol and... Continue Reading →
I completed my first semester at Princeton this December. It was an incredibly hard choice choosing to go so far away instead of IITk, but I'm glad I ended up going. One of the classes I took this semester was Introduction to Ceramics. The goal of the class was to teach learners the basics of... Continue Reading →
Ever since I made my Starry Night pair of clay earrings, I've gotten into using clay to emulate paintings and painting techniques. This past week, I made a dragon in the theme of the Almond Blossoms set of paintings by Van Gogh. These earrings were made from the leftover clay from my dragon. This blog... Continue Reading →

There's something very satisfying about making tiny replicas of a thing you love and wearing them. I was inspired by the folks at the Makerspace and Quest Lab at IIT Delhi to make...

A family friend of mine recently gifted me a huge batch of crystals. (Thank you đ ) I've been toying around with the idea of combining clay with minerals, glass and stones for a while now. But 11th grade has successfully killed all of those plans. Regardless, a couple weeks ago school was a little... Continue Reading →
I received an iPad for my birthday this year. The model I got was this one.(link here) It is by far the best piece of technology I own. When my parents and I were initially discussing getting an iPad, I was worried that it might not have much use. I didn't think that an iPad... Continue Reading →
Remember âPinguâ and âShaun the Sheepâ? Growing up, I loved these! Why Iâm talking about them is because both these shows are claymations. Claymations are stopmotions made with clay. They have this 3 dimensional aspect to them that canât be achieved through normal animation. âShaun the Sheepâ Credit: awn.comâPinguâ Credit: Pingu.net I decided to make... Continue Reading →
I read this joke somewhere. 2020 was a unique year because it had 29 days in February, 53 Wednesdays, and 6 months in April. And if that isn't true I don't know what is. Especially the last few months, from August, passed in a blur. Where did the time go? I was just moping around... Continue Reading →
