Chiseled out of a single block of wood. Making it float with perfect balance took some extra effort.

1989
Some sketches from school days.

1993

Made these simple wooden boats with the intention of playing with them on a plate of water. Their movement could be controlled by a magnet below the plate.

Materials used include wood, match sticks, paper, thermocol, copper wires, razor blades & paper clip.

The Jesus figure is a single thorn. I just built the cross with match sticks and stuck the the thorn with glue.

1988-90

My chalk collection from school days. Being a back bencher those days was good for creativity.

I wish to thank my teachers, for throwing chalk pieces at me !

This is the piece that I am really proud of ! This chain of 8 links is carved out of ONE full chalk piece. The links move independently and are not stuck to each other. Gave a live demo of making a 2 link chain in the Hyderabad office, in 2008.

Took many attempts to get till here. Invariably, some part would break due to excessive force & impatience. So, had to do it all over again on a fresh chalk piece.
