Budget Gardening

Budget gardening is mainly through acquiring seeds of plants, pots and compost from kitchen waste. I've started my rooftop garden by making use of kitchen waste and trash repurposing. The project is still in its infancy but I'm very positive about the future. 

So far, I have successfully planted bitter melons and mangoes seedlings. 

DIY | Wall sconce

Due to Corona pandemic most cities are facing lockdown. Thus, I like one of the decor item which is quite expensive even the copy is very dear so I ended up making one for myself. Here's a quick rundown.

DIY | Climbers trellis

Climbers like cucumber, peas, bitter melon etc. need trellis to support their upward growth. I'm inclined to made use of objects available at hand for repurposing and also due to Corona lockdown. 

Cost effective | kitchen scraps vegetable garden

In a compact and novel manner, I tried table-top gardening. Only to safe space and money.

There are many vegetables and fruits that can be used as a source of seeds to grow vegetables and fruits. It is not only cost effective but easy to maintain. As the seeds are in all its honesty free.

I grow all the above plants of bitter melon using hydroponic system first then transfer to above pots.

Gift baskets venture

Gift baskets business is a very profitable business. If one knows from where to get the next to free raw materials.
One can visit thrift stores or warehouses for wholesale prices or flea markets like Sunday bazaars for fabric material, i.e. one can prefer using old bedsheets, for laces, embellishments etc one can purchase old dresses and diy buttons by clay ( air dry clay how to) modelling (this way the theme will be more in one frame). For Pakistan viewers, some of the places I have been to are:
Raja Bazaar is the cheapest in Rawalpindi
Azam Clothes market famous in Lahore
Gulzar Colony, Korangi Industrial Area, Karachi

Porcelain Craftsmanship

Porcelain was first made in China—in a primitive form during the Tang dynasty (618–907).
It is mainly composed of silicates such as potassium, sodium  and  calcium clay. Characterized by its whiteness, hardness and a translucent appearance.
The medieval European potters tried to imitate this translucent Chinese porcelain led to the accidental discovery of artificial, or soft-paste, porcelain, a mixture of clay and ground glass which needs a “softer” firing (about 1,200 °C, or 2,200 °F) than hard-paste porcelain. 
The first European soft-paste porcelain was made in Florence (about 1575) at workshops under the patronage of Francesco I de’ Medici, but it was not until the late 17th-18th centuries that it was produced in large quantity. 
The standard English bone china was produced around 1800, when Josiah Spode the Second, added calcined bones (bones ash) to the hard-paste porcelain formula.

Dusting | Household chores

Dusting is a mundane work and a compulsory essential on a daily basis.
There are many tools available in market but they are all reusable. I wish to have something disposable. Hence created my own with plastic bags and newspaper and a thread to tie the Knot!
See for yourself....
