Down the memory lane...

"Ahh! Finally, we're here! Time for some unpacking!" I said, as we shifted into our new house. 

 We had all sorts of luggage, like everyone does... furniture, utensils, small bags, big bags.... There were also some bags which just moved with us without being opened! I took the courage to open these and decide if these did have any relevant things! "Lets see...". And the journey began.

 I found a very old plastic bag with lots of small stuff in it. And it made some sort of a sound... like a rattle. "What in the world is that?" I murmured, while I opened it. This bag was no ordinary bag. It was a treasure. A treasure, of one of my favorite childhood art. The art of bead weaving.

 The bag made my day! It was like a time machine, which took me to the past...

Customer Appreciation - Divya

Image
Its an experience to peek into the world of artists . What makes it more interesting is, when the skill is passed on from one generation to another. Fresh perspectives expressed in a different form, art remains alive - an invaluable inheritance! Exploring various mediums in her painting skills, Divya, an art teacher, creates a wide range of products - wall hangings, main door name plates, jharokhas, to list a few! Her mom is an award-winning embroidery artist. Her floral embroidery with threads and beads, on bright sarees creates a perfect traditional-modern blend. For a special gift for her mom, Divya chose to go for a custom creation - band of beads name plates . Her creative brief was interesting - A cloth which belongs to her dad needed to be the hero. Inspired by the floral embroidery, a bead flower would fit in the best! So here's a custom creation - especially for Divya's mom! An artists' world -  A bead sunflower in the making with embroidered stem and leaves! The

The Uber stall experience!

Image
"Yet another year of ideas coming to reality!", I thought as I set up the band of beads stall for Uber Verdant Ganesh Utsav.  This year, there was a new addition - themed bead hangings - call it noiseless wind-chimes with a visual splendor! There was a great thrill in setting them up on a stand! The effect was visible in the eyes of kids coming to the stall! It was a small wonderland for sure! We got a glimpse of one more wonderland - from our new customers! One of them did a  mix-and-match of a  green zigzag tussar silk skirt with a plain yellow cotton-silk top. The skirt came with earrings to match the skirt pattern. But, something was missing! On the stall display, with the yellow top had a hand-made "birdie" themed necklace - an absolute show-stopper! The necklace grabbed her attention and WOW! That was a stunning outfit she designed for herself! Quite a visual splendor! Your encouragement towards our efforts to creative sustainability is what left me speech-le

Customer Appreciation - Aishwarya

Its heartbreaking when something we love breaks! But, its a miracle when we gather strength and mend it! Aishwarya's necklace had some beautiful bead elements. The biding factor - thread - gave away. But, what we appreciate is the spirit of getting it re-done! There was an opportunity to replace the damaged beads with new ones and still retain the old charm! And we were happy to be a part of this process. Thank you, Aishwarya for making us a part of this journey! Design Phase Final Output
