Tell us a little about yourself
Hi there!!! I am Deepthi Udupa. I am an
artist, crafter, mom, student, teacher and occasionally singer and baker and
many other things J. Currently I am living in Mumbai and studying art from Mysore. I blog at dipti-myart.blogspot.in and have a
page on facebook called Vibgyor N More.
·
Tell us something about the
kind of work you do.
I am more into drawing and painting than
crafts. I do charcoal painting, doodle, drawing, and painting. I love paper crafts too. Though I have done
quilling, paper cutting, card making, and decoupage, I love paper quilling the
most in crafts.
·
How and when did you start
crafting?
After my high school I started drawing with
pencils and the interest in art grew. But it was just a hobby for me till a few
years ago when this hobby became a passion.
Earlier I used to blog only about my artwork. Four years ago I
accidentally stumbled upon the blog All things Paper and I got hooked on to
quilling. Since then I started doing paper crafts.
·
What is your favorite crafting?
Quilling is my favorite in crafting. I love
recycling. And in paintings, watercolors
are my favorite medium right now.
·
What is the one skill that you
wish to excel in?
I cannot name just one thing in which I
want to be good at. I want to be excellent in all the things I do. Life is too
short to just concentrate on one thing, so I want to learn and do everything
and be good at it too. Currently I am trying to improve my watercolor skills and
portrait quilling.
·
Name five things without which
your craft space is incomplete?
Naming just five things is
very very difficult ……. Yet if I have to name just a few, it would be my paint
supply, papers, quilling strips , glue,tools like scissors and
…… oh is it already five things!!!?
·
What inspires you to create a
project?
Anything and everything inspires me when it
comes to art and craft. The smallest ant to the big buildings, my daughter,
everything inspires me.
·
What do you do when you are not
creating?
I like learning new things. So when I am
not creating, currently I am learning guitar, classical music and I experiment
with baking and occasionally take baking classes. I am also doing my Bachelors degree in Fine arts
currently and so busy with assignments and exams. Next I would like to learn
photography.
·
Are there any artists/crafters
that you look up to? How do they inspire you?
Oh!!!!
There are soo many artists and crafters that I admire!! Yulia for quilling. And when it comes to
paintings, there are too many artists to name here. There is too much
creativity in soo many artists that each and everyone is an inspiration to
Please give a word of advice to
our readers?
Do whatever you want to do and be whatever
you want to be. Life is very short to have regrets.
