As the Title suggests, this is an Architecture Student Hack video. As an archie student myself, I can understand the amount of hard work required in making Models of our designs. Especially, when it comes to making realistic landscaping. Hence, this is the first video of its series on making simple trees with copper wire and Green Wool yarn.
Materials required -
- Electrical Copper wire (available in electrical shops)
- Good quality Scissors/ Cutting pliers.
- Green colour wool yarn
- Fevicol/Glue
When it comes to the concept of Subconscious mind, I was always intrigued by its power. Countless people, including enlightened gurus have said that 90% of our reality is influenced by our subconscious mind. It is therefore, very important that we learn to reprogram our subconscious mind.
The moment our subconscious mind starts to think the way we want it to think, the neurons in our mind will vibrate at the frequency of our demand. As we know, those vibrations will take us towards our desires.
How to Reprogram your Subconscious mind ?
One way to do that is to listen to subliminals.
What are Subliminals ?
They are hidden messages which are conveyed to you in such a way that your conscious brain cannot perceive it. But, our subconscious mind is known to store a lot of information which may or may not be registered in our conscious mind. The subliminal messages should be given to us in a constant routine so that they become dominant thoughts in our subconscious mind.
How to make Subliminals ?
I make audios which contain subliminals messages. They are simply affirmations whose amplitude is reduced just to a whisper and is mixed with some other calming music like rain or ocean. They work best when the affirmations are in your voice. Your subconscious mind will feel them more comfortable to accept. When you make them on your own, you get the intention and mindset aligned to your affirmations.
Record you affirmations in present tense. As in - "I got into my dream college", "I'm losing weight". Ensure that your voice is monotone. I've read that such simple tone is easy for subconscious mind to understand. Then, using an Audio mixer, import the affirmations and a relaxing music file. Reduce the amplitude (Volume) of the affirmations upto -35 decibel (Adjust the number until you hear it just as a mild whisper). Then, overlap this sound with the music such that you cannot understand anything of the affirmations. If needed, loop the affirmations to adjust the length of the relaxing sounds.
Export the file into Mp4 format. Then, just listen to them as often as possible. You can listen to them while doing any works. They work best if you put them on and fall asleep. During you sleep, the mind goes into theta state which is most susceptible to the subliminal messages. You can listen to them during your afternoon naps or you can put them on during sleeping at night as well.
Some studies say that it takes 21 days of continuous subliminal intake for results. I personally believe that it totally depends on out mood during listening to subliminals. Try to visualize all your affirmations while listening to subliminals. And, feel good about it. This will accelerate your results.
Summer always was a tough time for my inner garneder. Regardless of how much water you give, plants wither due to the sheer summer dry winds. But, this harsh season is perfect for a lovely plant which you can try to grow. Lotus, being a water plant, apartment gardeners assume it is only the privilege of independent house owners with a huge pond. Well, that's not true. Lotuses are known to be grown in buckets and water tubs as well. If taken care of, they will bloom as well. Lotuses like heat. They simply LOVE sunlight. They thrive very much in hot and humid tropical regions.
That being said, there are two ways of getting your plant. Through seed and through tuber. If you plant an year old tuber directly, you can expect blooms within 3 months. A plant propagated through seed might take 12-18 months to bloom. Nevertheless, watching a plant grow from seed is a blissful experience. Hence, I bought seeds from Amazon.in.
About the Plant -
Lotus seeds are known to restore their vitality even for 100 years. It's because of their tough shell which protects the inner embryo from external damages. To make it germinate, we must find a way to let water get inside the seed. Lotuses like heavy and muddy soil. As said before, they grow crazy if adequate amount of heat is given. Presently, at my location (Hyderabad, India) the maximum temperature is around 40 degree celcius along with 8 hours of direct sunlight for the plant.
First Step - To prepare the seed for germination.
You just need to make a 'hole' in its outer shell. I've seen Lotus Growing videos in YouTube which suggests you to use a sharp knife to cut off a small portion of the outer shell. I've tried that and nearly injured myself! Luckily, I came across a simpler method.
Use Sandpaper! Buy any soft grade of sandpaper and rub the seed on it until you find a cream coloured layer inside revealed. At this point, stop rubbing as the inner seed should not get damaged. Then, put the seeds into a cup of clear drinking water of lukewarm temperature. Leave it for 12 hours.
Now, you should find the cup something like this -
The water should have turned brown and the Lotus seeds should have swelled in size. If that happens, it means the seed will germinate soon. Change the water with fresh, clear, lukewarm water. In fact, change the water every day.

Bonjour Craftopedia,
Hope you all are doing great. I tried Chalk Carving (again, one of my favorites!) for my 3D Mural Assignment at my 2nd semester. I would like to share the procedure with you.
You Need -
Plaster of Paris Chalks (80-100 pieces)
Wood Varnish
Plywood base
Needle
Fevicol/Hot Glue Gun
I bought a box of Plaster of Paris Chalks and started carving various patterns on it. Then to harden it, I coated it with Wood Varnish.
The Varnish gave an off-white beige shade to the chalk. Hence, I painted my Plywood base with grey enamel color.
After the Chalks dries, I arranged the chalks representing a city skyline abstractly. I stuck them with fevicol.
How to make a Geometric Snake (with printed template)
To make a geometric animal using origami paper was our first
Model-making assignment for second semester at architecture. I decided upon
snake for its easy and repetitive body structure. After 3 hours of work on
computer, I had made this template for one unit of the snake’s body. All you’ve
got to is to get multiple printouts of this template in various sizes (which
are already resized in the document) and follow the steps –
You can Download the Template for the Snake Units by clicking the following links Template for Snake Body Template for Snake Head
1)Cut out almost 7-8 templates of each size
carefully
2)Fold them in towards the printed side
3)Paste the edges neatly as shown in the video
4)Arrange the units in an curved pattern and stick
them together.
Here is the Video Tutorial showing how to make Basic Units of the Snake's body.
I have been in love with this metallic effect on terracotta pottery that I had to make another one. This time, I chose to design this cute Elephant themed matka using Air Dry clay. The sculpting process is really simple. You can do it easily. The metallic painting part is definitely fun! So, let's get started.
Hello Craftopedians! Welcome back to DIY Craftopedia. I know your favorite is Pot Painting ideas. Hence, I have another idea on making this beautiful lady using two small pots and M-Seal.
The best part about this video is that I have shown how to make a mould for the face of the lady using my old doll and Glue Gun.
Materials Required -
Two Terracotta Pots
Any doll
Hot Glue Gun
Vaseline/Oil/any lubricant
Black Acrylic Paint
M-Seal/Air Dry clay/Shilpkar
Metallic Copper paint
Procedure to make the Face -
Apply Vaseline/Oil to the face of the doll.
Cover the face of the doll with a thick layer of hot glue. (Ensure that you cover all the corners)
After it dries, carefully remove the glue casting from the face of the doll.
Apply some talcum powder to the inside of the mould and press some clay firmly into it.
Carefully remove the clay to get the face casted onto it.
Hey guys, Welcome to DIY Craftopedia. I'm Sanathan and this channel is all about pottery, Pot painting and many more such crafts. For the first time, I tried working on a terracotta Plate. I found this plate while shopping for vases and decided to try it out.
With just slight practice with paint brush, you can create stunning madhubani patterns. You may need a circular template or protractor for this project.
Hello Friends, Welcome to DIY Craftopedia, I’m Sanathan and this post is about Visualization
with feelings.
One Major announcement - my first Law of Attraction video is up in YouTube. I would love to hear your opinion about it. Here it is -
The first part of
manifestation is to Ask. This part is the easiest and crucial in Law of Attraction.
When you imagine about something you are like placing an order to the universe
or like selecting what kind of experiences you want from a catalogue. There are
many methods of visualization like making a vision board or scripting. We will
understand both in detail.
Making a Vision
board is the most creative way of visualizing. All you have got to do is take a
notice board, White board, a power point presentation or Pinterest board and
fill it with the pictures of your desires. My favourite is Pinterest because it
gives flexibility to edit my vision board easily.
Once you are done
with filling your Vision Board, you need to place it at a prominent position
where you can look at it often like near the mirror, in your bedroom, in your
phone or as a desktop wallpaper. And, then every time you look at it, you must imagine
yourself doing your desire or being with your desire. The emotion should be so
strong that you are filled with excitement and pleasure while looking at your
vision board. It so happens easily with
many of us, that as time passes, instead of feeling good, we might start to
feel anxious and desperate about our desires. That is not good for your manifestation.
Those desperate vibes will bring more circumstances where you feel more
desperate and will push away your desires from you. If that is the case, you
can stop looking at your vision board for a few days and just let go. But otherwise, Vision board is a satisfying experience
as you can find all your desires and goals at a place organised. That will give
you enough confidence to believe that they will manifest. And, in case you are
curious, This is the link of my Pinterest Vision Board 2019
Scripting, or
writing down a story or experience is another method of asking. This is where
you describe/narrate your life as the way you want. In fact, you can make this
as a daily journaling exercise. Every day you can sit down and write your experience
as if you have received your desire.
You can start as – Today was very special.
This morning, I got a mail from my friend. When I ripped open the box, I found the
exact book I have always wanted. I was filled with so much of excitement and
happiness as I was holding that book. Thank you so much universe for getting me
that book.
I do journaling everyday. And the most important part of scripting
is that you must write it in present tense. That is, you must write as though
you have already received your wishes. If you include gratitude into it, your
desires are turbo charged as gratitude is a very strong positive feeling. You
can write down your day at your dream job as a diary entry or as a thank you
letter to the universe.
One suggestion
while scripting is that you can incorporate many positive adjectives while
writing your experience. Try to include as many feelings as possible in your
script. Like – I was ecstatic, blissful, joyful, excited that my desire got manifested.
Because, as you write those words or as your read those words later, they will actually
fill you with the emotion. As I said before, feelings are the fuel to our thoughts.
The stronger you feel all the good emotions, the faster your manifestation will
occur.
