Meet our favorite Childhood Friends!

A few months back...

"Now what should I do with these?", popped the question as I created the first few bead art pieces. What next?

Back in school, I used to gift the bands as a token of friendship. Well, that was an expression on the Friendship Day. It said, "thanks for being my wonderful friend"!

"Why not gift my dear friends and family members again?", I thought, "It can be a token of 'thank you'". After all, I had not expressed this since long...

I gifted my first two creations to my very close family members. For always being there for me. I wondered if that sounded more like a definition of a friend? Well, it certainly did...

After a few months, my family members sent me a few pics. One of them was:

 
 I was touched. Moved.

Customer Appreciation - Divya

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!

"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
