What's the relation between Clay and Heißenberg's Uncertainty Principle? Throughout history, there have raged multiple battles about the nature of light.

There was enough evidence to support both of their claims.... Continue Reading →
I've never been much of a painting-aficionado. Mostly because I cannot paint. At all. And most famous paintings have left me severely underwhelmed. Van Gogh's paintings, however, have always appealed to me. I learnt about Van Gogh when an aunt of mine told me a story about a man who cut off his own ear.... Continue Reading →

This pendant is a great project for beginners, as it does not require exceptional skills or any hard to find materials, just a lot of patience.... Continue Reading →
There is a lot of fun stuff that I have made in the past which I never photographed. It includes clay, origami, sewing, knitting, crochet, quilling, needle felting, loom bands, scooby strings and lot more. I thought that it would be fun to share that stuff. I am starting a series where I will be... Continue Reading →
