Welcome to Deezden! My name is Dithi and am a self-taught artist, now living in Geneva (Switzerland). I love to drink 'masala' chai! Indian traditions, women, mythology and folklore inspire my paintings. This blog is about my art, my life and my likes (not so much dislikes).
Feel free to leave me a comment after my posts. For any questions, commission inquiries, purchases through Etsy etc. email me at happydithi@gmail.com

Difficile dare qualche giudizio o consiglio per la tua "Ri-strutturazione". Allo stato attuale è già tutto così bello... Complimenti per la tua Arte, i tuoi colori, i tuoi lavori sono stupendi! é un davvero un piacere averti incontrata... (P.s.:Grazie per aver introdotto l'opzione "Traduzioni"). Un caro saluto Miriam
Aditi, Magdalena, Sonia: mmm, would you still say that with the white background? I mean does it look slightly lighter now?
Louis: :)
Theresa: Thank you for the unconditional support, means a lot you guys.
Arch: that is a relief to finally know that may be this can work.
Anyway, do drop in if you can again as I may be adding the final details over the next few days. Only when I am done with my re-formating will I post, I have just SO MUCH waiting to be posted, photographs from the art fair and book fair that just got over in Geneva.
The two main things about the 3-column layout that I'm not very fond of is that there is so little space between the columns (feels crowded), and the uneven alignment of the content horizontally (looks a bit messy).
I personally believe more space between the columns would allow the page to breathe more easily... more air - more energy, it's as simple as that :)
Also, I agree with Fernanda. I absolutely loved the warm red colour, and I think it made your site stand out even more. White is fine too, but has a totally different energy. Not better or worse, just different!
However, it's all about art and freely expressing oneself - isn't it? You are the artist here, so go with what you feel for! I'll definitely be coming back for more, enjoying it just as much regardless of colours, columns etc..! :)
Hola! tustrabajos son excelente, me ecnanto el color y me gusta mucho tu cultura o lo que conozco de ella. El trabajo de los loritos es excelente. Pasate si queres por mi blog y te invito a que te pongas como seguidora, un abrazo
Magdalena: First of all, thank you for participating in this 'coz the feedback helped me get clarity of thought about what looks better. I agree with you about the warmth of that textured red background and I think the present template manages to retain that to some extent.
At times, the red was over-powering and the photographs that I posted struggled (exaggerating here) to be seen.
What I have done now helps separate the three columns distinctly yet helps me continue with a warm Indian colour palette.
Florsazuladas: Gracias
Marguaritte: :)!
Miriam: la ristrutturazione è buona per ora, grazie, sperano che abbiate avuto un grande fine settimana anche!
Chandan: I like it too, finally have reached at a decision about how I want deezden to look. Will let this template stay for a while now.
THANK YOU all you guys for the constant feedback. Really helped. Am back to painting again. BIG KISS.
Dee, 3 column is neat but the middle column feels squeezed :) As for the color, although red is one of my fav colors, it was a bit dark particularly making it hard to read the purple writing on red...my two cents :)

I liked the 2 columns version.
I like(d) the 2 column version much better.
I see some difficult about sliders and youtube. Your words and your works are the gem of this blog.
I could read you even in six columns. bye.
Your art and blog are beautiful.
You are an inspiration whether it be 2 or 3 columns :)
Theresa
I like the 3 column. The white background is a perfect canvas for your colourful paintings.
Looks more organized & structured, since you have loads happening on your page:-)
Thumbs up for this layout!

I miss your FABULOUS RED background!!

Your blogs looks great, can see so much more of your written and painted art! Brilliant!
