●Series: Crafters of Pakistan● . "Bhabi" says this golden urdu calligraphy on this beautiful marble stone. This means 'Sister in Law' in Urdu (for my non-desi followers) and was bought as a gift to me by my Sister-in-law who accompanied me to an event called 'Crafters expo' in Karachi, Pakistan. This is from my trip to Pakistan exactly 1 year ago. . So we had a quick conversation with the man behind this brand and his personality really got me to go check out his Facebook page the other day.. and boy, am I impressed or what? This gentleman is extremely talented and well-versed in the field of #art. Mr. Amir Mirza has been a teacher at renowned institutions such as IVS, Szabist and KU, and possesses knowledge of art, #design and #psychology. His brand is called @hunarpaaray and offers a wide range of beautiful (would classify some as actually cute) things with #urdu #lettering and #calliagraphy that would make amazing personalised gift items and collectibles.👐 Swipe though for a #sneakpeak. Go check out his work on Instagram and Facebook, you'll know why I fell in love with it. 😍 . . More of such gorgeous art and craft will be available at @theguildofcraft event "The crafters Expo" happening at Royal Rodale Karachi on 2nd Dec! Mark your calenders and stay tuned for more #Creative shoutouts on my feeds before and after the event. . .

●The Golden Sun of Crystals● . Resharing my pictures with one of the most mesmerizing #art #installations I've ever seen.🙌🏻 This is a #swarovski structure consisting of 8000 Crystal droplets forming a golden sun that that depicts the concept of birth and rebirth!🔆 (Swipe left to read details and have a closer look at it!) . Pretty cool right? There were a lot more #creative art installations by furniture to automobile to #lifestyle brands coming together to put together the most creative exhibition that Dubai sees every year: @dubaidesignweek 🇦🇪 . Extremely sad about missing it this year after attending it for the last 2 years because I'm travelling outside UAE at the moment but everyone who likes creativity and art even a little bit MUST go here at @dubaidesigndistrict.d3 to check it out before it ends tonight!!!👌 . . . . . . 🙆🏻‍♀️Follow @maharat.m for more #creativePlaceswithMaharat . #d3 #dubaidesignweek #dubaidesigndistrict #mydubai #instadubai #igersdubai #uae #bloggersofuae #artbloggers #lifestylebloggers #f4f #l4l #exhibition #dubaievents #expatlife #travel #explore #dxbdw

●Girl you got this●♀️ . The title that kinda tames the #anxiety in me before I've written my thoughts/tasks/ideas now!✏ . Ever since my first job, which was actually as a #Strategy planner for brands, I've developed this habit of writing down everything that needs to be done, or sorted, or understood! 🙆🏻‍♀️ And just like that my job title was soon my personality trait! . And then my next job was as a full time mother. Paid in hugs and kisses but required more #planning than my 4 years at IBA or my few years at job. Thanks to mommy-brains, I'd forget half the things I had to get done all by myself and so writing it all down yet again saved me from the "oh no"s that could have followed.🤦🏻‍♀️ . The next task I took upon myself was to get into #arts. Basically #painting and #writing about art. So that too required planning my deliveries (of paintings) and blog collaborations (for art events and brands) which meant all the more reasons to buy notebooks.🙌🏻 . In short. I need a reason to buy me a planner/notebook! Noone knows this better than my husband who after years of telling me "you don't need a new planner for everything new you start Maha" decided to buy me a 2019 planner from my ever so favorite @typoshop on my birthday in August 2018!🥂 #SeekhGayaLarka . This notebook in the picture is Also from #Typo Dubai! _ Am I the only notebooks/planners hoarder or is anyone else out there a crazy-notebook-lover as well?📒 . . . . . . . . . #collection #writer #stationary #books #reader #bookstagram #bloggersofdubai #bloggersofpakistan #creative #lifestyle #creativity #artbloggers #f4f #l4l #girlpower #feminism

I often think that the night is more alive and richly colored than the day. - Vincent Van Gogh. 🌌 . I would have never believed his qoute above if I wouldn't have seen his famous painting #StarryNight. Van Gogh became my favorite the day I realised how to true to his words is his work! And my visit to his museum in Amsterdam further confirmed it!🙌🏻 . This is my version of Starry Night recreated my way in one of my favorite techniques called #Pointillism [the Art of Dots and points] to pay my favorite a tribute. The man who painted to #heal rather than to sell. The aim I once started off with as a self-taught artist. #TherapeuticArt 🔅 . #Swipe left to see it clearly. . . . . . . . . #artwork #painting #acrylicpaint #artbloggers #artistsofpakistan #artistsfinstagram #creativity #diy #colors #f4f #l4l #igerspakistan #creativewomenofpakistan #lifestylebloggers #homedecor #cmwartMonday

●Less bitter, more glitter● . For #Halloween, I enjoyed reminding myself of how we all have a little #magic inside, and routine could dull our sparkle. So I ate some #glitter for breakfast and decided to shine all day!⚡ . I was an extra AF #Minnie with my limited edition gold headband from @disneylandparis. .

This painting was in fact a still.. and only got animated when seen though a smartphone!🤳 . Swipe left to see how it looked as a still.🖼 . This gorgeous detailed artwork belongs to @ogilani whose digital art revolves around the concept of #future while depicting the #culture of #Pakistan in many ways! Been his fan since 2 years, so much so I wrote an entire #blog on him that contains my favorite few #paintings of his.[replugged the link in Bio] . So glad I could attend his exhibition at @sotevent "School of Tomorrow" at Beach Luxury Hotel yesterday in Karachi!🙌🏻 . This exhibition and all the other virtual reality installations by Pakistani students that were extremely fascinating and had me in awe throughout! It brought together science-fiction and the Art and Heritage of Pakistan through exhibitions, installations, interactive games, performances, talks and shows by celebrities, politicians and artists of Pakistan! Visit my story to have a look.😍 . . #follow for more #creativePlaceswithMaharat . . . . . #exhibition #artevent #cultural #heritage #artistsofPakistan #instaart #digitalart #animation #virtualreality #f4f #l4l #artistsofinstagram #artbloggers #lifestyle #sciencefiction #wordpress #bloggerssquadpk #pakistanbloggersLeague
