Xmas Goodies!

It's the season of fairy lights and sparkles, of cinnamon flavored cookies and ginger bread men, of silver angels and happy Santas, of presents and carols, of toothy smiles and shiny eyes, of candy and caramel. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year, and I just have to share these gorgeous new designs put together for all the last minute Santas out there. :-) Here's wishing each and every one of you a gorgeous time with your little munchkins, friends and families. Keep smiling. See you all in the new year!

The Adventurous Astronaut

Just when I had resigned myself to the fact that bed time stories were all for little girls, I was commissioned to design a story for a special little boy, who's big shiny dreams are scattered with stardust. Little Aalyosh is a bright young boy, with a curious mind, always looking to unravel the secrets of twinkling planets and shimmering stars. It's beautiful to watch his bright green eyes light up as he peers through his telescope each night, looking for flying spaceships and green faced aliens that may be hovering outside his bedroom window. One day, when he's a famous astronaut, I'm going to ask him to bring me back some moon-rock from his exciting adventures in outer space! :-)

Sparkles, Giggles and a Delightful Diwali!

This is a special post to invite the beautiful Angel of Lights to scatter a handful of glowing sparkles into our world. Please welcome Ariana, the shiniest angel of them all. She has been specially designed to spread Diwali cheer amongst little kids and to infuse their new year with a whole lot of giggles, love and light. And if she likes you, she may stay by your bedside and blow sweet, shimmering kisses into your dreams, so that the festival of light never leaves you and you may celebrate it's beauty all year round.
 

Making your own special Diwali Angel is not only easy, but also a lot of fun!

 

 You can attach a string to your Diwali Angel so she may flutter above you, or you could simply place her on a comfortable surface where she may watch over you as you wander off into the land of sleep. 

Please write to me on heetal@beetleandbottle.com for your own special little Diwali Angel. She can come visit you as a pdf, ready to be printed in your own home, or as an indigo print on my favorite shimmery paper. 

The Little Princess

This post is for a special little girl, who lives in the world of sparkling kingdoms and enchanted forests. She imagines herself as a beautiful princess and charms her way out of trouble by flashing her dreamy, angelic smile. Her mother, the Queen, commissioned me to bring to life these beautiful fantasies for our little princess's 8th birthday. I enjoyed getting lost in little Kaavya's world of far away lands, mystical creatures, and magical melodies. I'm sure that these frames will add an extra sparkle to her smile when she sees them on her special day. Happy birthday dear princess...May you always be surrounded by magic, love and laughter.
