We're 10!

From one to two digits - We're 10 years old!

What started as a re-visit to the passion lost in the sands of time, now celebrates its entry to the two-digit world!

Fabrics change. Beads have more variety. With time, come new experiences and new ventures. It's been a journey witnessing these transitions. I feel thankful and grateful to all the wonderful guests who encourage me to be a bead artist and fabric enthusiast. Here's a celebration for all of us - a whole fabric made with patchwork showcasing each valuable skirt/top/wall hanging order. Yes! We do remember each one of you!

Fabric patchwork of all the skirt/top/wall hanging orders


Now that we are two-digits, here's another celebration - family name door/wall hangings made with the technique from where it all began - bead weaving! The family name is made by making a word from the first letter of each family member name. This, unlike the traditional family name(or last name) is unique to your family, just as you are! This wall hanging is a dedication to all the customers who ordered custom bead jewelry from us. Also, a big thank you to the many ladies and girls who grabbed their share from the band of beads stall!

Celebrating all the jewelry customers with bead weaving!

Let's now sit back and re-visit the very first post, exactly 10 years ago.... down the memory lane:

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!

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
