PEACOCK, Oh wait! you can't hunt it.




When I was reconstructing my house, a lot of unused sponges were thrown away by the painters. The unused sponges unleashed my creative skills. As an ardent supporter of PETA, I wanted to make a independent and beautiful animal or a bird which cannot be hunted. Hence I decided to make a peacock. The national bird of my country, India 🇮🇳, where hunting and killing of peacocks is a crime. I made this peacock by cutting sponges into a good shapes and decorating with kundan stones. It's high time to realise that animals and birds are NOT TOYS. They are emotional and full of life who deserve the same care that you'd give to a human.

Cheers :)

When I was a toddler, my Indian mom gotta Ganesha (elephant god) embose painting down town. My mom is inquisitive about learning art and craft, so am I.
