Activating your Spiritual Mission
Everyone incarnating on the earth has what could be called a "spiritual purpose" or "soul purpose". Before birth they have drawn up a soul contract outlining, among other things, a general purpose for the incarnation.
This might be to learn about love, or to experience empowerment, or maybe to serve as a mother to many children.
However, not everyone has what could be called a "spiritual mission."
This is a very specific kind of purpose that certain mature souls take on during their incarnation with the goal of serving humanity and the earth as a whole. These people know themselves to be here to serve in a particular way, using their unique gifts, experience, abilities, and spiritual awareness.
A few people seem to have known about their spiritual mission as far back as childhood. Others have slowly become aware of it as they've grown into adulthood. And still others, although knowing definitely that they have one, are still struggling to figure out what it actually is. Or they may know what it is, but they can't seem to find a way to begin it. It can be very frustrating.
If you're one of these people, know that the time is coming soon in which you will not only know what your mission is, you will find the way to begin it.
Reasons for the Delay
There are a number of reasons you may still feel stymied at this point. It might be that you will be working with a group of people with a similar mission—and either the other people are not quite ready yet to do the work, or the timing is not yet right for the work to begin.
Or it could be that you have certain karmic situations or patterns that still need to be resolved or relationships you're involved in that are not conducive to whatever you're here to do. Some people, for instance, are fearful of letting go of a marriage they've been in for years, although they're aware that they are being held back by staying in it.
Or perhaps you are already expressing your spiritual mission and you're not yet recognizing it. Maybe you're not in a full-on expression of it yet, but you are developing it gradually. And in time, you will find opportunities to broaden and strengthen your service. Perhaps it will morph into something else altogether—but you will be able to see at that point how what you are doing now has been necessary preparation for it.
Frequency Holders
Some people get confused by thinking that to express their spiritual mission they need to be doing something active out in the world as a "spiritual activist". They believe they need to be involved in political movements or other groups focusing on creating the "New Earth", such as feeding the homeless, rescuing sea animals, marching for women's rights—or whatever other cause they feel strongly about.
Or maybe they think they need to be expressing their mission as a professional counselor, healer, or spiritual guide—or some other "spiritual" personage focused on healing and guiding people into higher awakening.
It's important to understand that not everyone with a spiritual mission is here to be out there in the world, physically and actively serving people and the earth. Or to be creating some new way to guide people into spiritual awakening. Some are here to be "frequency holders".
These are people who tend to be more inwardly-drawn. They are generally serious in their meditation practices and often find themselves focusing on sending light and love to other people in their lives, or groups of people across the planet who are currently experiencing challenging situations. They may feel drawn to join in group meditations for world peace or other causes.
Frequency holders also tend to spend their time doing everything they can to heal themselves of past woundings and to awaken spiritually. They focus on keeping as positive as possible in their lives, understanding that they are connected to the collective of humanity and that every person living in a high vibration adds to the collective's awakening.
It's important, if you relate to being a frequency holder, to not feel your service to the world is somehow not as significant as the service spiritual activists are doing. Your work is more hidden, but it is equally as important. Holding a high vibration for everyone—including the spiritual activists—is extremely important for the world to make the shift it needs to make into the Fifth Dimension.
Activating your Spiritual Mission
Whether you relate to being a frequency holder or a spiritual activist—or perhaps a bit of both—know that the time is now here for your full expression as an Ascension lightworker. The earth is shifting rapidly into an ever-higher vibration, and huge changes are happening.
Among other things, Gaia appears to be amping up her own cleansing process lately through severe climate changes, volcanoes and earthquakes. These events, on top of all the chaos and uncertainty the current political scene is causing, are creating much fear, confusion and despair, even in people who are not directly impacted by these things. For many, life is becoming increasingly uncertain and frightening. Ascension is pushing them far out of their comfort zones.
So, even if you aren't totally sure what your spiritual mission is or how to get it started, it's time to begin doing whatever you can, at whatever level you can, to simply bring more light and love into the world. This will activate your spiritual mission. You may also find that it assists you in handling whatever challenges are currently happening in your personal life.
It may entail committing yourself to a more dedicated meditation practice. It could involve more prayer work, both for yourself and for the world. It may mean going online to find groups you are aligned with to join in their efforts to actively bring greater peace and love into the world.
Whatever your heart calls you to do at this point—do it! Put aside your reasons and excuses for not fully committing yourself do it. Who you are and what you have to give is needed now.
Your time to truly step into your spiritual mission—whatever it is, in whatever way you can do it—has arrived.
Meditation for Ascension Lightworkers
Here are two guided meditations that may help you to remember who you are as an ancient Light Being—and also help clarify what your spiritual mission is and to activate it:

Blessings to all, Lynn
Vidya Dear,
Many Thanks for this beautiful and timely guidance! Thank you also for the session last week, as it helped me see I am indeed on track and moving in the right direction. Knowing this is very empowering!
Much Love&Light,
Thank you for this message of confirmation. I resonate strongly with this message and am solidly committed to showing up as a frequency holder and sending loving energy where I hear the call. Thank you fellow Ascension Lightworkers. With one heart and one mind we move in loving vibration.
In gratitude
Love your web-site and wisdom…

Thank you! Shared here – https://youtu.be/cj3Kkzz8aOQ?list=PLWb9UwJ_DQQTOUulxAvHmkxSkjNh_3BtP
Thank you so much for the guidance, I am happy that I am discovering every day the power of love with your help and also with the help of other light workers.
I am an Indigo child and Lightworkers, Empath of course and clairsentient which tend to go together. I have felt a calling that feels like gravity pulling me or the smell of a thunderstorm on the way and the joy and anticipation is comparable to when I brought my children into the world and reached reflexively to touch them and teach th m live for the first moment it is very much an internal knowing that I am here after waiting and incarnating as a Wise One and Elemental, the Angelic realm and a majority incarnated on other planets. My husband wo was an atheist until last year when I spent six weeks treating his Myoclonic Seizures by grounding jos and chess energy build up in the legs and abdomen as a result of the Shingles virus attacking big his myelin. He realized my ability is measureably scientifically and with his senses and I consistently removed the energy build up for weeks and I got stronger. I have this deep instinct about a portal and after an issue with dark energy I went to heal him at work just shocked he asked just days after his awakening last month. Yeah threw light everywhere and prayed both to a god as well as combining element energy to tie it in-as above so below. Well the next night my husband was flailing in jerrad s sleep I asked what he sees and realized he was channeling. I asked for a name and the response is "I don't have a consciousness remember?" And I repeated it back to encourage elaboration and his voice said "no consciousness I only have a Birth Poi t". I asked where and the response stated "working on the 4 runner in the bay" I asked if that's where h saw the pictures in his head that prompted him to call me because it was Dark. I said "you mean when u saw the pictures in your head?" He said "yes I'm the bat with the 4 runner" then I inquired as to a name and a seperdte issue forced me to wake him andof course he had no recollection. He is sharply Clairvoyant despite denying Spirit until a month ago. While doing Lightwork to heal an issue he had spontaneously I felt overwhelming presence of divine strength and love and in my minds eye I saw wings the color of coffee and caramel and shaped more like a hawk or Eagle than an Angel. I knew he was a starseed because of his behaviors and highly crystalline s afoam eyes with copper streaks around the pupil. I discovered s realm with Galactic Knights which guard another planet and are fierce protectors and tend to be apathetic and unable to understand human emotions in experience and communicating them. Within days I was sheltering myself from Dark energy hat threw its last hoorah by harassing my entire inner circle leading to siicides divorces and manipulative tactics to prevent the Ascending shift. I told my husband that we must be about to do something that us so full of Light that the Dark tried to get us away from each other. Now I know my soul mission fir this Earthwalk. The Grid needs to be filled with the Alchemists Flame to transmute lower vibration, burn away impurities in the ley lines be Grid and to ignite the grid worldwide with the Violet Flame. Has anyone else felt a calling thatbus visceral to heal the grid or ley l es? Particularly urged to use ultraviolet light that will spread like fire rapidly across the entire planet on the Winter Solstice about 25 minutes early I will send gold light in to heal and then the Flame which I have had many nudges and pictures transmitted to me by guides and seen many signs that I am to fulfill this. Anyone else doing ley line work by a gravitational calling? Nyone being shown to cleanse and raise vibration using a purple Light or purple Flame?? I know in my esoteric knowledge that it will usher in the Earth itself becoming healed and that it's a deep purpose o cannot deny. Anyone else, I would love to meet anyone who has been contacted by the guardian of the ley lines or feeling called to go to a place and fill it with light please join me. I will be fasting and taking no cleansing and balanced herbs to prepare, and go out to just heal it soon. Decemberv21st is a very important Solstice and I encourage Googling about the planetary alignments and the sun shifting its position set to occur as does Winter Solstice which is when we will see the changes increase
Fabulous inner understanding
Auto correct has been brutal today sorry about the typos. Lol
A clear and very timely message. We are on the same page!

United States District Court, D. Nebraska
April 19, 2018
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiffs,v.BRIAN ROBINSON, KFMBERLY SANTIAGO ROBINSON, CUC THI SCHAEFFER, JOHN ACOSTA, and ANTONIO BENITEZ GONZALEZ, Defendants.
matter is before the Court on Defendant Kimberly Santiago
Robinson's ("K. Robinson") motion to transfer
this case to the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of California (Filing No. 267.) Defendants
Brian Robinson ("B. Robinson"), Cue Thi Schaeffer
("Schaeffer"), John Acosta ("Acosta") and
Antonio Benitez Gonzalez ("Gonzalez") have joined
K. Robinson's motion (Filing Nos. 273,
276, 278, 287), asserting similar
grounds for relief[1]The arguments of each Defendant are
considered within this Findings and Recommendation. For the
reasons expressed below, the undersigned will recommend that
K. Robinson's motion to transfer (Filing No.
267), along with the other Defendants' respective
motions, be granted.
November 19, 2015, Defendants were charged in a Second
Superseding Indictment (Filing No. 70) with
conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana in violation
of 21 U.S.C. § 846. K. Robinson and B. Robinson were
also charged with conspiracy to launder money in violation of
18 U.S.C. § 1956. B. Robinson was further charged with
interstate travel with regard to a racketeering enterprise in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1952. The Second Superseding
Indictment also contains a forfeiture allegation referencing
$380, 050 in funds that were seized from B. Robinson during a
traffic stop in Seward County, Nebraska.
Robinson and the government entered into a joint stipulation
(Filing No. 268-2) for purposes of K. Robinson's
motion to transfer. Without objection from the government,
the other defendants rely upon this stipulation to support
their respective motions. K. Robinson and the government
generally stipulated, or otherwise agree, as follows:
1. This case is the result of an investigation into B.
Robinson and his alleged movement of marijuana from the area
of Sacramento, California to Pennsylvania, and his alleged
movement of marijuana proceeds from Pennsylvania back to
California. Those travels, at times, caused B. Robinson to
travel through Nebraska.
2. K. Robinson, Schaeffer, Acosta, and Gonzalez are named in
this case because of their alleged involvement in a marijuana
distribution conspiracy with B. Robinson. K. Robinson is also
charged due to her alleged involvement in a money laundering
conspiracy with her husband, B. Robinson.
3. All Defendants live in California. Other than their
alleged association with B. Robinson in the marijuana
conspiracy, Schaeffer, Acosta, and Gonzalez have no
association with Nebraska. Likewise, other than her marriage
to B. Robinson and her alleged association with B. Robinson
in the marijuana and money laundering conspiracies, K.
Robinson has no association with Nebraska.
4. The majority of the governments' law enforcement
witnesses reside and work in the Sacramento, California area.
There are three Nebraska officers involved in this case: one
case agent, one K-9 officer involved in B. Robinson's
traffic stop, and another deputy who assisted in the search
of B. Robinson's truck. There are approximately ten
California officers involved, including a case agent, three
K-9 officers, one or two transporting/post-arrest statement
officers, officers who participated in searches, and evidence
5. There will be some phone company and cell tower witnesses
at trial. They are expected to testify to cell tower data
obtained describing the use of a cell phone belonging to B.
Robinson. The parties do not know where they reside or work.
There will also be chain of custody witnesses. The parties do
not know where these witnesses reside or work. These
individuals processed and tested the seized controlled
6. There will be some United States Postal Services employees
called as witnesses. The relevant postal workers live and
work in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and California. All of these
witnesses have no connection to the District of Nebraska and
would have to travel for trial.
7. This case involves bank, credit union, and Edward Jones
financial records custodians from PNC Bank, Wells Fargo Bank,
USAA, and Edward Jones. PNC Bank's corporate headquarters
are located in Wilmington, Delaware; Wells Fargo Bank's
corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco,
California; USAA's corporate headquarters are located in
San Antonio, Texas and Edward Jones's corporate
headquarters are located in St. Louis, Missouri. The parties
do not know if each branch maintains a records custodian for
transactions made through the individual branch.
8. Travis Credit Union records custodians may be called as
witnesses. These credit union employees live and work in
9. K. Robinson expects to call a bank records custodian from
the bank where she has her business and personal accounts as
a trial witness. The bank and its custodian are located in
10. The expert for the prosecution is a CB&P dog training
expert who lives and works in El Paso, Texas. K.
Robinson's dog training expert is expected to travel to
wherever the trial is held.
11. The majority of K. Robinson's witnesses are not
willing to travel to Nebraska to testify. Witnesses Valerie
Temple and Kimberlee Tran have indicated that they are
willing to travel to Nebraska. Theresa Borrego, Jenn Burch,
Stephanie Giorgi, Kelly Lamb, Tracy Franklin, Tierra Lewis,
Terri Franklin, Angie Tran, Jasmyn Ruth, and Trinette Nastor
have indicated they are not willing to travel to Nebraska.
12. The majority of documents the government anticipates it
will offer in its case-in-chief were generated outside
13. The lead investigator has custody of some of the
potential exhibits. The seized currency has been
photographed, indexed and returned to the United States

Re: Mediocre photography or visual poetry? :)
Thanks to all of you who replied by now. At this point, I really have to say that I don't consider his review negative at all. I loved to read what he wrote and my title was more a joke than a real question. And I quite agree with him... I still don't know why they chosen my biker photo. It's really not that good. It was more a filler at the time to complete the batch of 20 submitted photos than a real photo. :) Concerning your thoughts about what I wanted to say with those pictures I took, well..., I really don't know. They are just fragments of my every day, situations that touched me in some way. I don't know if I want to say something with them other than what's in the pictures and the social urban situation they portrait.
And relax, I will not give up of photographing in the public space, even knowing that my photos are not that good. For that, I would have to put more time, effort and passion in that and time is a thing I don't have right now in my life. There are other things more important for me - family for example - and that's not the way how I am supposed to earn my living. :)
Now, this probably will have one side effect though. I will try to pay more attention to landscape photography, an area where I may be much productive in terms of quality.
Thanks once again. Keep those comments coming. I will love to see some discussion coming out of this. Stay safe, l.

We've all been approached by a group of kids wanting donations. While some fundraisers offer some popular products that we can get excited about, many of them aren't very interesting.
But product fundraising does work when it's well-planned. How do you manage to raise thousands of dollars from a product fundraiser? It comes down to making smart decisions in three steps:
Product Quality
If you're starting off with a weak product, your marketing efforts won't do much good. While your family may support your fundraising efforts, door-to-door selling will be tough.
There are definitely high-quality fundraising products that use order forms, but they're very difficult to sell to strangers. When you're able to give them the product they're paying for immediately, it's an easier sell.
How quickly can you receive your order? Do you get any help from the fundraising company? Make sure that you have the bandwidth in your schedule to take on the fundraiser.
Upfront Costs
How much does the fundraising company require you to spend upfront? Does upfront spend affect your profit margins? There are product fundraising companies which extend credit to schools and non-profit organizations.
Your product needs to be accessible to the market you're selling to. If donors can buy the same product for a lower price elsewhere, it weakens your pitch. The fundraising product itself needs to present at least some real value on its own.
Some high-quality products offer low profit margins below 20%. Finding the best value between quality and profit margin is essential to your bottom line.
Product fundraising can show a lot of success when it's well-planned. Here are some things to think about when planning your fundraiser:
World's Finest Chocolate has all the ingredients of an awesome product fundraiser. Since 1949, we've raised more than $4 billion for organizations like yours.
We make our chocolate using our unique family recipe - straight from the cocoa beans of our St. Lucia farm. You can also customize chocolate boxes with your logo or event graphics...for free!
Each chocolate bar costs donors either $1 or $2, so the price point is accessible for everyone. Your profit margin can be as high as 50%. Some of our customers even qualify for zero upfront costs...and bonus checks for selling out! How great is that?
You'll receive your order in 3-5 days. You'll also get your very own local representative to help you from beginning to end. Your product fundraiser can be over in 2-3 weeks, easy.
Get in touch with your local representative today. Or, pick up your free fundraising guide. You're just steps away from fundraising success.

This morning I am thinking about an upcoming training I will be attending with Tian Dayton, PhD. First I will train with her on the 17th of this month with others in the Socal area. The next day we get her all to ourselves at Newport Academy. I have had the opportunity to read through her new program on Relationship Trauma Repair and it is a very good fit or me. I love experiential therapies and look forward to learning from one of the masters of its application in the addiction field. She has made a career out of helping people through the trauma of being adult children of alcoholics and addicts or of being addicts themselves. I have used her work in the past for inspiration as a therapist and seen great results in helping people to open up and to access their emotions. Sometimes it is through a simple role play, and other times it is through something more elaborate. Other times it is just a simple icebreaker with kids. No matter what the intent of the psychodramatic technique used, I continue to have good results with it and cannot wait to learn directly from one of the people I have been influenced by as a therapist and addiction counselor.

The 7 Steps Needed For Putting Balinese Kittens For Sale Washington State Into Action | Balinese Kittens For Sale Washington State
Balinese Kittens For Sale Washington State
– They are a oriental breed of kitten and also have been observed from the Americas. Having been bred with Siamese type, some of these litters using a more hair have since evolved into the Balinese breed by means of a set of genetic mutations.
Image Source: amazonaws.com
Natural Balinese Kittens For Sale Washington State
The duration of the fur is a fantastic way to tell the difference between a Balinese strain and Siamese one since Balinese cats has longer fur that's in one layer, and not in a double coating like most other cats do. This dual coating gets the other cats' coat look rougher, like a washboard. This lengthy fur doesn't interfere with the grooming of the cat, fortunately, since it isn't extremely long.
The bright blue eyes of the purebred variant of Balinese felines will make you fall in love at first sight because of their sheer brilliance and beauty. Their ears, feet and tail could normally appear as dark spots on their furry bodies. The Lilac Point Balinese kitty has silver-blue spots only as other variations of this Balinese will have varying colour combinations. Balinese Kittens For Sale Washington State
Image Source: eizz.us
The Balinese kittens have the enviable reputation of being the most intelligent creatures amongst the variations from the breed and are usually regarded as silent. Those that are fond of peaceful moments in their homes should look to adopt this cat breed due to the silent demeanor. And even if they opt to open their mouths and utter a couple of meows, the sound is much gentler than other cat breeds. They can be expected to reside anywhere from 18 to 21 years in a human life span. This is very high for cats which, in general, live for an average of ten to fifteen years.

The medicinal value of turmeric is historically known, however, its abilities to cure mental health disorders are often not talked about.
Daily work pressures and unbalanced lifestyle have taken a toll on mental health. Depression, stress, and sleeplessness have become common among people from all walks of life. Statistics in the US show that mental health issues affect 44 million adults in the age group of 18 and older. Today, many people are in search for a perfect solution that relieves them from these disorders. Turmeric or Curcuma longa/Curcuma domestica is one such solution that is naturally available to us.
Used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine for centuries, turmeric is considered to be one of the most powerful natural remedies. It is mainly found in parts of India and Indonesia and is a very common cooking spice around those areas. The spice is close kin to ginger and is well known for its incredible medicinal values.
According to the California College of Ayurveda, it is one among the many medicinal plants to possess this range of medicinal value. With its amazing health benefits, turmeric is found to be useful in the treatment of illness such as amenorrhea, fever, gallstones, headaches, anemia, cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, common cold, conjunctivitis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, diarrhea, edema, hemorrhoids, ingestion, inflammation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), liver disease, joint inflammation, osteoarthritis, bronchitis, bursitis, sexually transmitted diseases (e.g. hepatitis C, genital herpes), urinary tract infections, arthritis, atherosclerosis, and more.
While we know of its countless benefits in the treatment of physical illness, its potential to prevent mental health issues such as depression, stress and anxiety cannot be forgotten. This medicinal plant has an ingredient called curcumin that the power to boost your moods and relieve you from any unwanted tensions or depression. Turmeric helps to prevent the inflammation caused in the brain which is a major reason for depression and mental anxieties. Robert J. Hedaya, MD, a psychiatrist and clinical professor of psychiatry at the Georgetown University Medical Center, stated that inflammation lowers serotonin levels and affects hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain leading to depression.
The component found in turmeric called curcumin plays a major role in reducing this inflammation. Curcumin relaxes the mind as it is a potent antidepressant and anti-anxiety ingredient. The presence of curcumin in turmeric elevates the serotonin levels, relieving your mind of any mental health disorders. It plays a great role in calming the mind and boosting your mood.
It is possible to incorporate this medicinal plant into our diet. Different varieties of drinks can be made using turmeric. Below is a simple recipe that you can try at home when you are stressed or depressed.
4 tablespoons of freshly ground turmeric root
½ cup of fresh lemon juice
½ cup of orange juice
5 cups of water
3 tablespoons of honey (raw preferred)
2 teaspoons of grated ginger
Mix turmeric and ginger in a glass. Add boiled water to the mixture. Steep for few minutes and add honey to the liquid. Stir the liquid well and give it a strain. Add lemon juice to it and enjoy it after it cools down.
In the case of nonavailability of natural turmeric, supplements can also be used to help your stressful mind. However, most supplements contain additives like black pepper that helps the body to absorb curcumin from the turmeric which isn't easily absorbed. Due to the insoluble properties of curcumin, it is better to consume the supplement along with a fatty meal.
Incorporating this medicinal plant into your diet can help you achieve a calmer, stress-free mind and will promise you a good night sleep. Much more research is underway to prove scientifically what the ancient people of India have known for centuries: that turmeric is one of the most powerful plants on the planet.Disclaimer : This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Film Lamination – Liquid Lamination
Liquid Laminates, UV curable coatings, Film Laminates and Lamination machines
Landor, our Sister company are experts in the applications and solutions for output inkjet media. The range of inkjet media today is so diverse and so depenant on printer, inks, application and even venue and means of installation. Landor Liquid Lamination products is one of the easiest, fastest and practical means of ensuring the longer term protection and durability of inkjet prints once printed. Sometimes just the logistics of sending or transporting printed images can lead to disappointment, degradation or failure of the expected and needed quality and the longevity of the printed image. Liquid Lamination can be simply carried out by hand after printing (usually best after 24 hours from printing), and will provide that extra assurance of retaining the image quality and visual desired. Usually by hand roller, paint pad, brush or spray equipment if desired. Most of the Landor Liquid lamination protective coating laminates are already used in diverse applications, for a multitude of reasons, but the main one being to preserve the finished print from any unpredictable destruction, damage and unexpected events that could occur such as abrasion, or exposure to water or even mishaps and mishandling. Choose bewtween gloss, satin, semi-gloss or matt prints. Constant R&D, testing and customer demands mean that most prints have a compatible coating from Landor range of liquid lamination products. Through this constant testing and formulation R&D as well as application testing, we are on top of industry needs for improved and natural bond and durability of inkjet prints. We test as much print material and rigid printed substrates as we can get our hands on to bring the best result, longevity and protection of your digital prints . Among many important and often disregarded benefits of Liquid Laminates is the guaranteed protection, resilience, need to protect Wall Coverings (for example Phototex paste free wallpaper), Fleet graphics, Canvas & Fine Art prints, Photographic films, Banners, and even as well as especially Truck Curtain Sides; Anti-graffiti protection can also be achieved with the water based, easy to apply Landor Anti-Graffiti liquid laminates. These can all be applied by hand for Ad hoc, or for larger runs by our specifically enhanced range of Liquid Laminators. Whereas there is no other compatible protection method for pvc banner, liquid lamination can easily double the life and maintain the quality of a Banner printed Graphic.
Our range of Landor UV curable coatings are UV curable Coatings developed and perfected for the protection and the enhancement of large format digital prints on what is usually Rigid direct printed substrates although we also support flexible and rigid materials. These coatings have been designed alongside the Burkle LFC 1300, 1600 and 2100 applying UV coatings to substrates with a thickness between 0,1 and 80 mm. The variety of base substrates working with our UV curable coatings is extensive; composite panels, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, foils, wood based panel and so on. As well as the Burkle Coaters, we also support coatings for ATC, Barberian, and virtually any manufacturers coaters with transfer roller capabilities. Our coatings rang also include primers for improved adhesion and print capabilities for more difficult to print substrates. Examples of these can be primers for hard to coat substrates like glass or melamine.
The Landor range of Film Laminates and Adhesives protect and enhance prints for the Signage and Exhibition market. High quality, high value and high performance; what you would expect from Landor. Our laminates and adhesives are manufactured in the UK to the highest European standards, be confident that they are tried and tested to give optimum quality.
Don't be let down by inferior products when finishing your prints, look at our range in more detail below:
Film Lamination
Film Lamination is the most common method of print protection, but has its limits. Already with different substrates, ink levels and flexible/Rigid characteristics, not all prints can be adequately protected with film Lamination, but neither do you need to invest in capital equipment to use Liquid Lamination but you do for Film lamination. Pressure, and adhesion to the print surface is key and critical. We have build so many years helping others fix a quality, longevity or protection issue with Lamination with our range of Liquid laminates we are therefore best placed to advise and assist you with the best and most practical method depending on your substrate, application, environment and quality needs and expectations. It is for this reason we can offer you the best reccomendation, support and advice without any single bias to one or another of these two technologies. Mainstream film Laminates may offer a quick and a dry solution but not always will it last. First you have to ensure adequate adhesion, without bubbling, or other effects like silvering. Then if you have a stable print media but a less stable laminate film, or your print media is not so stable you really need to match the print with an equally stable laminate film. There is also the quality of the film, adhesive, substrate and then if in addition you want flexibility, this cannot always be achieved so we are here to help you define what you need, and operationally as well as budgetary and practical and productively efficient the best match for your job or project.
Let us know what you are looking for, we enjoy challenges and maybe between us we can help you with a profitable solution

Venue - Arrival by plane
Brașov does not have a local airport. The closest airports are located in:
How to arrive in Brașov from the «Henri Coandă» Otopeni – OTP airport
Visit TRANSPORT AEROPORT at the following address http://www.direct-aeroport.ro/en/ or M&M (http://www.transferairport.ro/en/) so you can book your transportation from the airport in the most convenient way for your travelling schedule.
You can also take the bus or train service from the airport to the centre of Bucharest or to Gara de Nord railway-station (Central Train Station) than choose one of the trains bound for Brașov Central Station.
Venue - Arrival by train
|If you come by train from Western Europe, you will arrive at the Central Station in Brașov. International trains from Paris, Berlin, Munich, or Vienna to Bucharest stop in Brașov.
Train timetables can be accessed at: http://www.cfrcalatori.ro and http://infofer.ro/
Taxis are a faster and more comfortable way to get around town than public transport. Taxis are also relatively cheap. All taxis must have meters and drivers are usually friendly.
Ask the approximate fare in advance and always make sure the driver uses the meter from the start. Check the taxi's door for the price (lei/km).
Do not take just any taxi you will find at the taxi station! The private drivers can charge very high prizes!
Choose a company taxi (BRATAX, MARTAX, TOD, REY etc.). We have listed some of them below.
Taxis are usually parked in designated areas, which are in the proximity of bus stations or other busy spots. When travelling outside city limits, you may be asked to pay the double fare per km (it is considered acceptable), or you could agree on a fixed amount in advance.
Never get into a taxi that does not have a sign with the company name on top.
Venue - Arrival by car
|For those arriving by car, a driving licence, the vehicle registration documents and a valid car insurance are essential.
Coming from the direction of Vienna, Prague or Budapest, the border crossings are in Bors on the E60, Nadlac on the E64 and Varsand on the E61. Bors and Nadlac are the busiest due to trucks that pass through those two customs points. Coming from the direction of Trieste or Belgrade on the E70, the entry is in Moravita and Portile de Fier. E85 goes from Athens through Tirana and Sofia. and enters Romania in Giurgiu. The other border crossing with Bulgaria is at Vama Veche for those who come from Istanbul or Sofia on the E87. Arriving in Romania from Moscow, Kiev and Kishinev customs are in Albita on the E58 or in Sculeni, Stânca Costesti or Oancea. Coming from Warsaw, Kiev or Chernivtsi on the E85 the customs is in Siret in Bucovina.
Romanian driving regulations are more or less the same as the rules in other European countries. Obviously, for every driver a valid driving licence is compulsory, as well as valid insurance (Green Card) for the car. In case of an accident, contact the police to make a report. Drinking alcohol and driving is absolutely forbidden. The speed limit inside town limits is 50 km/hour and outside built areas 90 km/hour.

If You Build It, They will Engage: Develop Your Leadership Philosophy
Having a personal leadership vision and strategy is critical to excellence. Quite simply, clarity is king. A common mistake that executives make is not knowing how their values, interests, and motives impact their leadership success. Developing your leadership philosophy allows you to be strategic about how you approach your people and situations.
Developing a leadership philosophy is a process that needs to include your ability to leverage your strengths, enhance your areas of growth, and minimize your weaknesses. For new leaders, you don't want to just reflect on what made you successful and what you need to do differently because so much of your success was based on your individual performance and not leadership effectiveness. This is an opportunity to differentiate yourself and accelerate your transition into becoming a credible leader.
Simple Strategy: Develop your Leadership Philosophy
- Create your Leadership Philosophy (LP)
- Collect feedback
- Change your LP to meet your situation and success criteria
- Communicate your LP
I know it sounds simple and it is, but it's not easy. The challenging part is having the self-discipline to self-reflect and follow through on the all of the steps.
I. Create your Leadership Philosophy
We all lead, but very few of us lead with intention and a core philosophy. By creating clarity for yourself, you create clarity for others. A key component is to create a set of leadership principles that will encourage and guide your people.
Below are some questions that will help you define your LP.
- How do you know if a leader is successful?
- What are your core beliefs?
- What is your view on leadership effectiveness?
- What usually helps or hinders people from being successful at leadership?
- What are your leadership principles?
- What motivates people to succeed?
- What frustrates you the most?
- Do people change? If yes, how do people change? If no why?
- What do people need from a leader?
- What is your primary leadership style?(i.e. Direct, Relational, Visionary, Coaching, Delegating, Collaborative)
- What style do you need to use more frequently?
- What leadership approach have you taken that has been most successful? Most ineffective?
- What are your beliefs on what makes an effective leader?
- What do you want people to say about you as a leader?
- What style of leadership is important based on the culture of your organization?
- What quotes/sayings/phrases reinforce your leadership brand?
Once you answer these questions you will know what your preferences are and how you believe people are led. This is often a key insight into what motivates you and how you prefer to be led. The next step is to be flexible and incorporate the point of view of others. This will allow you to leverage your instincts and integrate the beliefs of others your respect.
II. Collect Feedback
While your leadership philosophy(LP) may be genius to some, it may impact people in ways that you do not intend. Take the time to share your LP with colleagues. Be sure to talk with people who are willing to give you honest and direct feedback and with some people who don't always have the same view on things as you. A few key questions you can ask are:
1) What are your initial reactions?
2) Do you think my LP fits our culture? If not, how I can adapt my LP?
3) If you were in my role, what would you adapt?
III. Change your Leadership Philosophy to Meet your Needs and Success Criteria
Based on the feedback you receive and what your organization needs, make any necessary enhancements or changes. The development of your LP will be a versatile and ongoing process. Embrace the fact that how you lead, and teach others to lead, is dynamic and change is part of the process.
IV. Communicate your Leadership Philosophy
Now that you're clear about what effective leadership looks like, give others the gift of clarity. Explain to your team highlights from your LP. This will close the gap between your intention and your impact. By giving people insight into how you plan to lead and what principles are important to you, they can better lead themselves and others.
What Companies Want
Over the past decade working with executives, HR departments, Boards, and a variety of Fortune 500 businesses, I have learned that organizations crave strong leadership. A colleague of mine, Dr. Paul Gaske, teaches as a principle: neutral leadership does no harm, strong leadership multiplies performance, and poor leadership divides productivity. Therefore if you can build a foundation for your leadership, people will be more willing and able to follow your lead.
The Bottom Line
The more you put into leadership, the more you will get out. Becoming an effective leader that inspires others and drives sustainable results takes time and energy. You will find that a little reflection, recognition, and regulation will yield you a lot of engagement. Who knows, maybe people will even do things aligned with your philosophy that you want done without you even asking…

Copps sounds broadband alarm
The FCC needs to adopt "a sense of urgency" about the pace of broadband deployment, new Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps said Thursday.
"We need to move away from the notion that everything is on track," he said as the commission launched its annual inquiry into the deployment of broadband services. The U.S. lags some parts of the world in rolling out high-speed Internet and other data services, especially in rural and poor urban areas, he said.
He noted that 42% of South Koreans have access to high-speed Internet through telephone digital subscriber lines. According to figures released Thursday, less than 3% of Americans are hooked up to high-speed service. Of the total 7.1 million high-speed lines in the U.S., 5.2 million are residential and small business subscribers.

2014 – Winner Alvin Clausen, Fire Chief Ride-On Trailer
When bushfire bears down on an area, deciding whether to stay or go can be the most difficult decision anyone can make. Alvin Clausen wanted to make it at least a little easier to protect the house when disaster strikes so devised a way for fire protection to continue after you decide to leave. His Fire Chief ride-on fire trailer idea can sense fire, dispense up to 1000 litres of water through its sprinkler system and can be fully automated. The idea came after he and his wife Diane were among those devastated during the Marysville bushfire of 2009. Mr Clausen was determined to not only prevent another disaster, but to help others who could face a similar situation in the future.
"My invention was born out of the desire to become more self-sufficient in fire control around our home," he said. "Embers cause a large proportion of house fires, after the fire front has passed. If you can keep embers away, you can greatly increase the chance of avoiding a catastrophic fire to your home." The invention is designed to help as endless embers descend on a property. It can detect heat and distribute water to that area. It can also be used manually, allowing a person to ride on the back like a chariot, directing the 1000 litres of water.
2014 Chair of the BIA Committee Dr David Noble said the Fire Chief Ride-on Fire Trailer exemplified what the Inventor Awards were about. "It is a fantastic invention and a very deserving winner and we hope he will have the success experienced by other previous winners of the awards," Dr Noble said.

If you have problems with your debts the idea of simply walking away from it all can be tempting. No more suffering with the anxiety of "how will I pay?", just walk away without paying. While some will tell you that you can legally get away with not paying your debt, there are some things to consider about this suggestion.
First, understand that debt collection laws are both federal and state level. The federal laws protect consumers through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, but these laws are meant to guide creditor behavior. States have varying laws about collection, some of which outline rules for the time period in which a creditor can collect. Depending on which state you live in, you very well could walk away from your debt. However, this is generally only done after the statue of limitations has expired, which is generally four to seven years from the time of default. That is a long time to dodge collectors and let your credit suffer.
Also, credit reports will reflect your nonpayment of the debt, but only for up to seven years. So if you aren't planning on needing new credit or even having good credit for things like renting a house or car, the credit damage you will suffer under nonpayment may not interfere with your life. On the realistic side, letting your credit tank due to purposeful nonpayment is not a solid financial strategy. There are solutions for managing debt in a manner that is affordable to your budget, that will also protect your credit. Your bankruptcy lawyer in Cincinnati can discuss all the solutions from consolidation and negotiation, to liquidation or restructuring.

Common Foundation Repair Methods
Anyone who has experienced foundation problems has several options available for repair. What works the best depends on the problem and the geographic location. First, when searching for solutions, take your local topography into consideration. Then select the best options for foundation repair. The best solution Tulsa foundation repair situation depends on where you live.
Your Options
Some of the most popular options for foundation repair include:
- Steel piers
- Helical piers are great for areas with light loads
- Concrete pier repairs
- High-density polyurethane foam is an affordable alternative
- Segmented piers are another low-price method
- Spot piers are ideal for areas such as porches.
Piering or Slabjacking?
Another method called slab jacking pumps grout beneath a sagging foundation to stabilize it. Alternatively, when selecting piering, posts are generally driven into unstable soils. Hydraulic lifts raise and stabilize affected concrete slabs. Slab jacking is usually performed on smaller areas such as patios. Interior piering is a popular choice for repairing home foundations.
What is Perma Built's Method?
Perma Built Inc. uses the exclusive Perma Lift System®. This will lift the affected area and drive steel piers into bedrock. It will also drive piers into load-bearing structure to stabilize its foundation. If there are interior foundation problems, the company uses the patented Perma-Drill system. It places the pier on bedrock or equal load bearing strata, regardless of depth. This technique is exclusive and only available through Perma Built. There is minimal stress involved in getting the pier to the bedrock or to equal load bearing strata.

It has been just around nine months when tech startup Activehours raised a funding worth $22 million for its cash-advance business, it seems the company has once again convinced the venture capital firms in successfully attracting investment worth $39 million.
The investment was headed by Andreessen Horowitz, with additional participation from existing investors Matrix Partners, Ribbit Capital and March Capital Partners. With this successful fundraising, the company has now raised a total of $65 million since it launched in 2013.
The company, based in Palo Alto, works as a payday lender, using a unique model where it asks users to pay a small voluntary fee to access their money ahead of the actual date of payment.
Activehours has not disclosed the size of its credit limit, but it has indicated that for banks and other investors who are looking for alternative source of gaining higher returns, the cash advance business can be a lucrative option.
An internal spokesperson said that the average tip is capped at around 15 percent, and no user is given an advance of more than $100 at a time. However, the company said that it is addressing a major challenge faced by American salaried workers who are living paycheck to paycheck.
Unlike its immediate competitor FlexWage, Activehours works directly with consumers, instead of employers.

After my first visit, I knew I had to come back to OKAN. And bring friends. More people must know about OKAN and eat there!
On my 2nd visit, the same coworker came along and I dragged two friends with us. Since one of them was a pescatarian, we stuck mostly with vegetarian or fish dishes. This time around, we ordered:
– 2 Kabocha pumpkin salads
– eggplant
– Braised pork – Nagasaki style ($8.50)
– Pan-fried pork homemade dumplings ($5.50)
– Grilled Hamachi cheek ($12.50)
– Green tea tiramisu
– Pudding with black honey
We also ended up with some grilled hamachi ($8.50) because the waitress didn't realize we wanted the cheek.
So we ended up ordering pretty much all the same stuff as last time, but it's because it was all amazingly delicious!!
The Kabocha pumpkin salad was as good as I remembered. I pretty much ate almost an entire bowl on my own. This is one of the "must order" dishes if you ever visit this restaurant. There's just something about the perfectly cooked kabocha paired with the crunchy cucumber and whatever seasoning they use that makes this dish magical.
The next dish was the eggplant. We attacked the bowl before I got around to taking the picture. While it does not look appetizing, it was pretty good. The eggplant was nicely cooked and seasoned and had a lot of flavor though the texture was mushy. I think this may be a "special" menu item rather than a regular one as I don't recall seeing it last time I was dining here.
Here's a much better picture than in the previous post of the Braised Pork Nagasaki style. I would consider this another "must order" dish for OKAN diners. This really showcases how well the chef(s) at this restaurant handle red meat. The pork is perfectly cooked; it's got lots of flavor and is never dry. I like how they leave a thin layer of fat as that just adds to succulence of this dish.
At this point, the waitress brought us grilled yellowtail. We had ordered the cheek but that seemed to have gotten lost. We told her we would eat it anyways since it was already at our table but we still wanted the cheek. The grilled yellowtail (which I apologize for failing to nab a photo of…it was a beautiful piece of fish!) came with a side of salt and green tea salt. I didn't think the fish needed it as it was already seasoned well and had a bit of a soy sauce-based glaze on it. I had to try the green tea salt. Sadly, green tea being such a mild flavor, you didn't really taste it.
The homemade pan-fried pork dumplings arrived shortly after we devoured the grilled yellow tail. These were nicely fried with a crispy bottom. The wrapper was not sticky or chewy and the filling was moist. As you can see, there's quite a bit of green stuff in there. I think that overpowered the pork a little. Not the best dumplings I've had but better than some I've had at other places. If these were home-made, I couldn't tell, because they were assembled as neatly as the store bought ones. The only thing that would convince me that this was home-made is the filling as I've never tasted anything quite like it. I'm not sure what the green vegetable in it was but it had a slightly peculiar taste I was not familiar with. I would have asked but the waitresses barely spoke English. Most of the patrons are Japanese, which, in my book, is a sure sign that OKAN serves good and authentic cuisine.
Our hamachi cheek arrived and it was just as good as last time. Consistency!! The top skin was cooked to a crisp; the meat inside was moist. And as before, this was a huge serving. The four of us did a number on this dish but we were already getting full from the previous entrees. One thing about OKAN is that even though you think you're not getting a lot because the servings seem small and you're sharing, you're actually getting quite a lot of good food for a great price.
This time, they had the green tea tiramisu available. We ordered that as well as the pudding with black honey.
The green tea tiramisu suffered an assault from 4 spoons before I remembered to take a picture so the perfect square was ruined. However, you can see the nice green tea layers and the fluffiness of the lady fingers. This was a tasty and light dessert. You could actually taste the green tea which was nice. However, I think the pudding is better. The black honey…mmmmmm. For dessert, the pudding is imperative.
Overall, this was a better meal than my first visit because we didn't have that horrible tuna and avocado roll. The service was spectacular as always minus the order mix-up which actually turned out to be beneficial for us because we got to eat another great dish!

It can be difficult for mums on the go to find time to do their makeup. But all that's needed is five minutes, writes Carolyn Moore.
WHEN a Tokyo train company last year released a series of videos addressing "modern manners", one in particular attracted the ire of women the world over.
Targeting female passengers who do their makeup on the train, the ad asked: 'Why can't you do that before leaving home?'
The move to ban women from applying makeup on the train sparked a worldwide conversation, not just about the etiquette involved, but also about whether women should feel pressured to fit a makeup routine into their busy mornings in the first place.
Closer to home, a British survey by Ipsos MORI last August found applying makeup on public transport was 'socially unacceptable' to 42% of women and 41% of men.
But with the same survey revealing 90% of women and 80% of men think women are under greater pressure than men to look 'well groomed', can't we cut each other some slack when it comes to making good use of that valuable commute time?
I don't wear a huge amount of makeup — I haven't worn fake eyelashes since my debs, and the words 'contour palette' bring me out in an anxiety rash.
However, I count myself lucky to be in a position to quite literally put on my best face before I face the world.
Whether you leave your house groomed to perfection or find yourself lashing on mascara in the carpark, there's no doubting most of us feel better when we look better.
Some women may feel undue pressure to be well groomed at work, but for others, makeup is their war paint, a confidence building tool that helps them through the day.
Ciara Conlon from Kinsale is mum to eight-year-old Jessica and five-year-old Tom, is an IT project manager.
"Makeup helps me feel more polished and professional," she says.
"I'm not in favour of an over done look, but a little goes a long way.
"In IT, the T-shirt is king and you could be as casual as you like, but I favour a smarter work wardrobe. It helps me get in the zone."
On a good day, Ciara's commute from home in Kinsale to work in Ballincollig, Co Cork, is 30 minutes, but her morning routine calls for an early start.
"I get up at 6.30 to shower, get dressed and have my hair and makeup done before the kids wake," she says.
"My hair can be a bit unruly, so if I have five minutes left for make-up, I'm doing well."
Though she values the confidence a polished look instills, Ciara admits, "putting on make-up has moved down the priority list with each child".
"More often than I would like, I'll notice during the day that my make-up isn't applied well. Not a good look!"
For Dublin mum-of-three Suzanne O'Meara, a consultant for Bluewave Technology, work is frequently on site with clients, with commutes of up to 50 minutes.
"I do my base before I leave the house, as that can be messy," she says, "but I do the rest of my makeup on the train."
Though her office has a smart dress code, she says, "There is an expectation to look presentable for clients, but not necessarily to wear makeup. I wear it to look and feel better.
"I would never go to work without it," she says, adding that she spends more on time on her makeup now than before the children came along.
"I'm a little older, so I feel I need more to look better. Lashing on a bit of bronzer and lip gloss isn't enough anymore. Besides, makeup is more of a 'thing' now. I use products that weren't the norm 10 years ago, like highlighters and brow kits."
With so many new products on the market, Glanmire-based makeup artist Martha Mulconry admits makeup can be daunting for women these days.
Mum to three-year-old Thalie Rose and four-year-old Freya, she confesses that there are times when she might find herself stopped at traffic lights trying to get some makeup on, because "some mornings that's all I have time for."
However, with a little preparation and a few key products, she believes a pulled-together makeup look can be easily achieved.
"When you're getting out in the morning for the school or crèche, look after your three basics: base, blush and brows," she advises.
Ashbourne mum Aisling Ozdemir, a parenting blogger and weekend sales advisor, doesn't feel pressure to be made up at the school gates.
"I have three boys to dress, schoolbags to get ready, all by 8.30am. I'm lucky if I've brushed my teeth," she laughs.
For work it's a different story — she "wouldn't dream of going to work barefaced".
"I love makeup," she says, "and I feel great with a full face. I once wore a nude lipstick instead of my signature red, and everyone kept asking if I was sick."
It's a reaction Martha can relate to.
"When people see me without makeup they'll ask, 'Are you OK? You look ill'
"That's why I'll always try to have a little bit of something on, just to add that freshness in the face."
Morning makeup routine: Martha's morning makeup routine starts with good skincare. She's a fan of Declaré's Power Duo Oil and Serum Multi-Vitamin Regenerating Care.
"You can use this as your moisturiser, and it has the added benefits of a serum," she says.
"It's perfect for busy mornings because it dries so quickly."
Eye cream too, is essential, "to depuff and rehydrate the eyes."
To help foundation go on quickly and smoothly, Martha recommends a pea-sized amount of primer, like Smashbox's Photo Finish, under a full coverage foundation like Lancôme's Teint Idole.
For cheeks and eyes, the popular Pippa Palette is her go-to.
"Don't be intimidated, just use the elements you have time for," she says.
Resist the temptation to skip your brows, as "a filled-in arch will help you look like you've had a good night's sleep".
Add a slick of mascara and line your lips with a nude pencil.
"Combine the liner with a bit of gloss, or for a stronger lip, Bitch Perfect by Charlotte Tilbury is beautiful," says Martha.
"Then you're out the door, job done."
1. Pippa Palette, €34.99, ( www.blankcanvascosmetics.com )
Pippa O'Connor knows the value of convenient, time- saving products, and makeup artist Martha Mulconry says this is a winner on both counts.
"I love this because it has everything I need in it," she says.
2. Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H, €38
A no-budge, full coverage foundation Martha feels is worth the spend.
"It saw me though labour," she says.
"I put it on at 8 in the morning, went into labour with Freya, and still had it on at 8 that night."
3. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, €7.99, Boots
Promising a "pixel perfect, flawless base", this is a fabulous cheat for the cult 'beauty blender', shaped for perfect coverage and smooth, quick application.
4. Rimmel London Brow This Way, €5.49, Boots
If you're pressed for time, you may not feel inclined to prioritise your brows, but Martha urges: "give it a try and you'll see an instant difference. Brows immediately give you a lift on the eye."
5. L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara, €16.99, Boots
With a special flat-sided brush, just one coat of this lengthening mascara has an instant effect and a dramatic impact.

What the Tas solar changes mean for you
On Sunday 18 August, Tasmanian Energy Minister Bryan Green released the government's decision on the solar feed-in tariff for Tasmania. The government's policy is good news for existing solar owners. But the announced policies create many problems for the future of the solar industry and are forcing people to make hasty decisions about their future investment in solar.
The Solar Revolution Briefers #1
Our new solar briefers show the number of solar installations, energy generated, power bills saved and much more-for every state and electorate in Australia. Check them out to see how the solar revolution is happening in your community and around Australia!
Check out our ad in the Courier Mail!
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman is trying to discriminate against solar, and blaming solar owners for the recent electricity price hikes. He was set to release his "plan" for solar following an early July Cabinet meeting - but he still hasn't shared any details. We ran this ad in the Courier Mail to keep the pressure on Premier Newman.
Have your say in Tas – opportunity extended
The Electricity Reform Project in the Tasmanian Government has agreed to accept late submissions on the Tasmanian feed-in tariff until next Tuesday. Our Briefing Paper gives you all the information you need to make a submission – short or long.

While western outfits are still mostly preferred by women at workplace due to many reasons like tying a 6 yard saree in the morning seems a difficult task to them, handling at work especially during meetings can be difficult and so on. But this perception is slowly changing and more women are now opting designer partyware sarees in India. They have started creating customize designs to make the saree more interesting and unique.
It is true that there is a lot of western influence over traditions in India and so, the perception of the people is changing. Do you know? You can paint your own saree and make it looks like designer piece. Let's learn how to do it.
Step 1
Wash the cloth you want to turn into your saree. Let it dry and iron.
Step 2
Choose the side that you want to paint.
Step 3
Clamp the side you select to the wooden board with the help of binder clips
Step 4
Mark out the border along the length of the cloth. Make sure its width should be approx 12cm.
Step 5
Step 5
With the help of 3D outliner, draw the pattern you wish to have on the saree. Draw it on the inner and outer side.
Step 6
Step 6
Let it dry
Step 7
Step 8
Step 9
Step 10
Step 11
Step 12
Step 13
Step 7
Paint the central region with fabric paints and design your choice of patterns
Step 8
Let the paint dry. Once it dries, you can use sequins and beads to make the saree beautiful. Paste them at the empty spaces with the fabric glue. Make sure you stick them at even distances so that they shine in similar way.
Step 9
When your paint dries, you can start outlining the painted patterns with the help of 3D outliner. We advise you to pick a color that contrasts well with both the pattern color and fabric color.
Step 10
Let the outliner dry
Step 11
Shift the saree to following part and repeat the steps until you paint on one side of the saree.
Step 12
If you have a design in your mind for pallu, make it happen. Pick a rich pattern and decorate it with fabric paint and sequins.
Step 13
Stitch beads to the outer side of the pallu to give a rich look. It will also help the pallu to stay in place. This is optional step to perform.
This is how exclusive designer party ware sarees in India are prepared. You can make it at your place if you are good in art and drawing. Make amazing patterns with blocks.
Kindly share your thoughts with us regarding this post. Will you try this DIY project? Don't forget to feedback once you get your exclusive designer ware saree.
