Hello everyone,
In 2012 I started quilling and sketching simple cartoon pictures to cope with some depression I had. I do not prefer medical treatment or therapy for depression but I ended up with my own set of therapy - ART. I also started learning some basic Spanish phrases as I had a liking for that language.
It was my best friend who suggested I start a blog and share my projects. In 2015, I got introduced to stamping, die cutting and stenciling from you tube. I consider you tube craft videos my teacher. I kept practicing stamping, stenciling and colouring. Recently, I started making foamiran flowers and small scarp layout. One thing, I miss a lot is sketching which I plan to start soon.
I am Priyadarshini Ramakrishnan, a simple girl born in Chennai, India. I was a genetic researcher turned crafter/graphic designer. I was always inclined to arts from a every young age probably because of my aunt who is an awesome artist. I am a very religious and God loving person.
I am a trained/performing Bharatnatayam dancer and learnt some carnatic music. I started crafting when I was about 12-13 yrs old when I was in a summer camp. I learnt some simple and easy crafting made from waste materials which interested me a lot and I started experimenting by transforming old greeting cards to new ones. Once I started college, I stopped crafting and did some pencil sketches when time permitted. During my summer break, I learnt pot painting and making items using m-seal.

I always consider myself a beginner when it comes to crafting as there are loads of techniques and different methods to make one. I recently started my you tube channel and still working on making and editing videos. Hope to get it up and running my next year.

Hello, Priya. Do you still live in India? If so, have you visited the US? I have never travelled abroad; but I have visited Canada and Mexico. I'm just curious where you reside now. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful art with us at Word Art Wednesday.
