Title - Liberated Soul<br />“Your wings already exist, all you got to do is fly” </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Product: Mixed media wall clock<br /><br />Time Taken: 8 hours<br /><br />Why Amala and me?<br /><br />She is also interested in arts. She was my roommate but now lives in Japan. Though she stays far, we <br /><br />share a special bond and she has always been there for me. Conceptualization and material procurement <br /><br />(disc and coffee filter paper) was done by Amala and design & execution was done by me. <br /><br />How the idea hatched?<br /><br />When we came to know about the contest, we thought we would create something that has meaning to it <br /><br />apart from being labeled as just a product. We discussed a lot and finally came up with the theme that best <br /><br />describes us, free, independent individuals who believe in expressing their thoughts and who fights for it <br /><br />even if it means standing alone. We wanted the product to go hand in hand with the concept and the time <br /><br />machine perfectly fitted the bill. “Liberated Soul” was thus born!<br /><br />Liberated Soul - Description <br /><br />We are bound by the rules this society imposes on us. What we are and what we want to be fades off in <br /><br />due course and we lose our individuality. Our wings do exist, all we got to do is just fly, only then we could <br /><br />reach for the sky.<br /><br />Liberated Soul – Decoded<br /><br />Materials used : (Most of the materials are recycled ones)<br /><br />1. Canvas board<br /><br />2. Disc<br /><br />3. Cardboard carton box <br /><br />4. Newspaper<br /><br />5. Canvas wooden sticks(Comes along with the canvas board for support)<br /><br />6. Net cloth<br /><br />7. Coffee filter paper<br /><br />8. Buttons<br /><br />9. Wooden embellishments<br /><br />10. Acrylic colours<br /><br />11. Craft glue<br /><br />12. Clock parts <br /><br />Process decoding<br /><br />• Tear off the cardboard carton box into separate sheets. Stick the sheets on canvas as per design. I <br /><br />wanted to give a vintage look, so chose it to stick it to the bottom of the canvas as it gives a layered <br /><br />appearance. <br /><br />• I stuck a layer of orange colour net cloth(sleeves of a salwar, good that I like wearing sleeveless) <br /><br />on the top part of the canvas. Next, I took strips of newspaper and used it randomly. Newspaper <br /><br />for sure adds vinyl touch to any art work.<br /><br />• The sketch basically represents a girl who wishes to fly like a bird. I have done the girl’s hair using <br /><br />flowers and other embellishments. Major portion of her head is covered by the disc. <br /><br />• Place the disc and see if the sketch looks appropriate. (can glue it later)<br /><br />• The flowers had been done using coffee filter paper. I used buttons to make it look like the old <br /><br />time machine . <br /><br />• On top of the time machine, I painted the birds white with their wings open. The wings of the <br /><br />birds are done using canvas wooden sticks<br /><br />• Now, I glued the disc to the canvas, I wanted an embossed one, so stuck two wooden sticks to the <br /><br />base and then mounted the disc on it.<br /><br />• Then, I painted the entire canvas board as per the look I wanted. ( I usually paint at the end, since <br /><br />its easy to maintain the shade throughout).<br /><br />• Finally, I fixed the clock parts and put the battery, to give life to the liberated soul I was creating. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">This is one of 10 pieces in my next collection called <b>Mehrunissa</b>
which is a collaboration between Deepti Agrawal Mittal of Deepti
Designs and myself. She is a Madhubani artist who lives in USA while I
am based in UK. Her Facebook page is at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/DeeptiDesigns" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/DeeptiDesigns</a> . My Facebook page is at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sanskaradesigns" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr>sanskaradesigns</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
have been making jewellery for just a little over a year and I had
admired her work for some time. I approached her way back in December
2013 with this seed of an idea that I had, to use her artwork in my
jewellery. She was instantly game and we started the creative process.
My brief to her was a simple one – Mughal miniatures done in the style
of Madhubani. So in essence this was going to be a Tribal Fusion project
and Deepti was all too eager to have a go at this as she is always on
the lookout for unique canvases to convey her art as is evident from her
shoes, bags and home décor items which you can see on her website <a href="http://www.deeptidesigns.com/" target="_blank">www.deeptidesigns.com</a> . </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">She
worked on some designs and after several whatsapp messages we had our
10 pieces of artwork. Next Deepti set about making the pendants ready
to be strung with semi-precious beads into statement pieces of
jewellery. The whole process from start to finish took us just under 8
months and the <b>Mehrunissa</b> collection is finally ready to be
unveiled to the world. We will be sending out a Certificate of
Authenticity with every piece we sell to reiterate the fact that these
are indeed one off unique pieces designed by Deepti and exclusive to
Sanskara Designs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Our collection goes live on Saturday 30<sup>th</sup>
August 2014 and as per competition rules, I will be uploading all other
nine pieces except this one that has been submitted as our entry to
your competition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
most amazing part of this collaboration is that Deepti and I have only
ever communicated via whatsapp with the occasional email and not even
spoken once to each other over the phone let alone meet in person. Best
use of technology ever!</span><br />

<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<ul>
<li><b>Description of the creation</b>:
Our jewelry set was created by me with my buddy Veena's concept of the
design and colors based on her inspiration. This is a reversible set
(can be worn either way) of necklace and two pairs of matching earrings
that go with it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Process of Making:</b> Primary material used is Polymer
clay. The design was hand drawn to make a template on paper and was
transferred to polymer clay to create base. Finer design details were
added to the base shape using Polymer clay, Swarovski stones and seed
beads. We made two rough versions for either side of the pendant and
refined the colors and designs based on the rough versions for the final
output.<br />
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<ul>
<li><b>Time taken: </b>Total
of 2 days but with breaks in between to finalize and refine the details
(It was a absolute collaborative effort between us as we had a lot of
back and forth on changes to design based on what we saw in the rough
versions that were made and fine tuned with design and color changes
etc.). <br />
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<ul>
<li><b>Materials used</b>:
Polymer Clay, Swarovski Stones, Seed beads (golden), Glass bicone beads
(for necklace), Findings like clasps etc (for earrings and necklace) </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Is it for Sale or Personal?</b>: It is for Sale but it will be shipped from the US (so shipping charges will apply)</li>
</ul>
<br style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">What
inspired you and your Buddy and a title for the creation. One thing
about your Buddy that made you want to work with him/her. (One line only
from each participant).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<ul style="font-size: 13px;">
<li><b>What inspired me and my buddy</b>: The vibrant colors of an
Indian street festival that Veena recently witnessed served as an
inspiration in the overall choice of the unique combination of colors in
the piece representing the vivacious, lively and bold mood, with the
upcoming Ganesh Chaturti inspiring the other side of the pendant.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b style="font-size: 13px;">Title</b>: <i style="background-image: none; border: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dvaimātura </i>(one
who has two mothers). This is one of the names of Ganesha and we
thought it is a great name for this Jewelry set since it was conceived
and created by us - two mothers (me and my buddy :) and it also has two
sides (reversible) </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<ul>
<li><b>One thing about your buddy that made you work with her? </b>My
buddy is my first cousin and we have been wanting to pair up for a
while where she gives a design and I create it...and this was a an apt
opportunity to do so.</li>
</ul>

we came to know about the contest, we thought we would create something that
has meaning to it apart from being labeled as just a product. We discussed a
lot and finally came up with the theme that best describes us, free,
independent individuals who believe in expressing their thoughts and who fights
for it even if it means standing alone. We wanted the product to go hand in
hand with the concept and the time machine perfectly fitted the bill.
“Liberated Soul” was thus born!</span></div>

<u>Description :</u> Jewellery box</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<u>Process of Making:</u> </div>
<div>
Take an old shoe box, wrap it neatly with craft paper from the outside and inside. </div>
<div>
Take
a cardboard. Cut its length such that it fits in the box vertically.
This is in order to create compartments from the inside. Wrap it with
craft paper and stick/tape it inside the box to provide two partitions. </div>
<div>
On the outside, paste the plastic lace on either sides like a
border. Then paste a mirror in the centre. On a separate paper, paint
and cut out any figure (we painted a lady in our case). Stick it beside
the mirror. Punch flowers of different colors and stick them around the
mirror. Cut out paper leaves and stick them around. Stick sequins too. </div>
<div>
Cut out a latch shaped structure and stick it infront of the box. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Time taken:</u></div>
<div>
We took a total of 6 hours to do it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Liked it. I read about the competition and decided to take part. I This
is our first online competition.</div>

Title : Love is in the air <3 <br />
<br />
About my Buddy : I did this project along with my sister. As said creative minds has no limit, she experiments herself in various mediums.<br />
She do crochet, ribbon embroidery, tessellations, origami and most of all quilling is her favorite. :) <br />
<br />
Description: "A lovely heart shaped tree made by combining quilling and papercut" <br />
<br />
We thought of doing something which we can work together. she gave the complete idea of making a heart shaped tree.! <br />
<br />
Materials used : It is made completely out of paper.<br />
>Quilling strips and glue <br />
>Handmade paper and cutting knife<br />
<br />
Process of making: The trunk and branches of the tree, swing with two little birds and few hearts are drawn individually and i made the papercut from handmade paper using a knife. <br />
My sister made various size of quilling hearts from 4 mm strips of colors pink, red and white. she divided the paper strips into three sizes of length 2 mm, 1.5 mm and most tiny one is 0.5 mm. <br />
Finally we glued it in the cardboard of size 37 x 45 cm. Can you believe this whole tree has 231 hearts!!! <3 <3 <br />
<br />
Time required: We planned from the day contest was announced. As we combined and made it, we had lot of ideas which keeps on changing and we took almost 5 days to finish.<br />
<br />
We both are crazy on doing crafts but we never worked together so far. We really enjoyed and had lot of fun doing it. Thanks to Handmade N Beyond for making it happen!! :) <br />

<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Description of creation, process of making, time taken to make the pieces and materials used , if for sale or personal - </span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">We
wanted to keep the focal point of quilling and started off with the
wedding theme, after taking lots of things into consideration, we zeroed
in on the mehendi which is part and parcel of every Indian wedding, and
found this was the perfect thing we were looking for since we can
showcase the beautiful quilling in a design. Hridya took 30 minutes for
drafting, but being her she kept on modifying the design, finished the
entire piece in 5-6 hrs over 3 days. The design was completely made out
of paper - quilling strips and a couple of rhinestones here and there,
ah not to miss the pearl ;) Just made it for the HnB contest, if anyone
wants to own it, glad to :)</span><br />
</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Whereas
I took an hour to sketch and possibly 12 hours to complete the design.
The design is A5 size but the small size made the quilling tricky. The
design was inspired by Mehendi however the final design looks like a
rangoli now :) We both kept on sending pictures to each other with
each successful step completion. Was an awesome experience to see the
different interpretation of the same theme.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">What inspired you and your Buddy and a title for the creation. -<br />We
both wanted to do something which would showcase the intricacy of the
art of quilling and what best than our own mehendi patterns which adorns
many a hand. So basically we have tried to incorporate the intricate
mehendi patterns into a design using the art of quilling.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">One thing about your Buddy that made you want to work with him/her -</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;">I
love Agnisha's work especially her quilling but I also love her
versatile character, she can work with anything and the end results are
fab. Glad to work with her on this one.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Hridaya brings
her own style to quilling. I have loved her work and when the buddy
project came up the artist with whom I wanted to partner was 'Hri'. Was
fun working with her. She was patient in dealing with me and waiting my
last minute submission. </span><br />

We have thought
of collaborating our work for long time and this very unique contest
gave us an opportunity to putting our plan into action. We got to know
about the contest few days before- so somehow we tried to put things
together in limited time. Our Apology for missing out the last date.
Will be glad if you consider our work.<br />

Every nook and corner of the <br /><br />house can have its own elegance, its own beauty with just a little addition of handmade items. <br /><br />Someone rightly said “When design and craft meet they create a wonderful combination called <br /><br />A warm welcome to the world of handmade. ‘HANDMADE’ as the name suggests is a piece of art done <br /><br />with human hands with great effort, care, lot of passion, creativity and minute detailing in every product. <br /><br />You cannot compare handmade products to mass produced products.<br /><br />Here is a list of few in each category : - <br /><br />Using Textiles or Leather -Canvas work, Cross-stitch, Crochet, Embroidery, Felting, Knitting, <br /><br />Embossing, Quilting, Ribbon embroidery, Rug making, Tapestry. <br /><br />Using Wood, Metal, Clay, Glass - wood, metal, clay, bone, horn, glass, or stone - Ceramic art, <br /><br />enerally, Chip carving, Glass etching, Jewelry design, Metalwork,Mosaics,Pottery,Puppet making,Stained <br /><br />glass, Toy making<br /><br />Using Paper or Canvas -Origami or paper folding,Paper making,Paper marbling,Paper modeling, card <br /><br />modeling,Quilling or paper filigree<br /><br />Using Plants other than Wood - Basket weaving,Corn dolly making,Floral design, Pressed flower craft, <br /><br />Straw marquetry etc. <br /><br />An artisan uses imagination, creativity and the skill to create a product. Some are purely handmade <br /><br />Artisans put in all their effort in creating every single piece which consumes lot of time, patience and <br /><br />energy. The creativity flow in these items is beyond imagination. <br /><br />Artisans can’t escape the urge of creating things and they put in all their feelings in the paper, glue, clay <br /><br />and all sorts of things. They leave their mark in the works they create. This applies not just to one type <br /><br />of handcrafted item but to all types of handcrafted items. In any Handmade product the raw materials <br /><br />are of the best quality since they are personally selected by the artisan, the workman ship involved in <br /><br />creating the product is of much superior quality and the final ready product is something that one can <br /><br />treasure for his life time, something that brings a smileon everyone’s face. Something that makes one <br /><br />wonder“How beautiful is this”. One can consider himself to be a proud owner of this truly magnificent <br /><br />Each individual item has its own persona, creativity at its best, enormous ideas, imagination and a <br /><br />identity of its own. These sort of elements cannot be replicated in mass produced items. <br /><br />Some Artisans can use their creativity, skill and knowledge to create a custom made item for you as per <br /><br />your requirements for a particular occasion. The one of its kind and uniquely personalized just for you. It <br /><br />can be a special gift to someone or just a home décor piece in that special corner of the house. It takes <br /><br />a lot of time, the best of raw materials and you have to well appreciate the finished product. <br /><br />Sometimes we get to see some really breathtaking designs which are created after long hours and days <br /><br />of hardwork and dedication. Every Artisan’s imagination is Unique and this can be very well seen in the <br /><br />More and more people should buy handmade items and support small business and this in turn, can be <br /><br />a boost to our economy as a whole. Small business can help everyone to prosper in their own field, be <br /><br />in in the local markets or their own small organisation. In today’s world of online technology there are <br /><br />various online market places where buying and selling are both very easy and comfortable. It’s a One <br /><br />Stop Shop for all your needs. Paying the right price is what you can do. <br /><br />The sky is the limit for sellers desiring to reach new audiences and for buyers wanting to purchase quality <br /><br />handmade items outside heir local markets.<br /><br />MAKE HANDMADE, GIVE HANDMADE, BUY HANDMADE, LIVE HANDMADE<br /><br />There are also some great online venues for buying handmade items. Here are just a few which I have <br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HandmadeNBeyond" target="_blank">Handmade N Beyond </a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/timeless.creazion?ref=hl" target="_blank">Timeless Creazion</a><br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">1. How did you got your start? (What INSPIRED you and WHEN…)</span></b><br />
<br />
Well I am crazy women for sure, when the whole class was burning their mid-night oil for the exams next day, I was sitting across a mess of handmade papers and adhesive on my table. It was my friend’s birthday the other day and all I wanted was to make her feel special, and that’s what I would do on their birthdays’. Its always great to see their expressions of joy upon receiving something which is just meant for them, They all loved my work and would appreciate the thought and efforts I would put in each of them, Soon my family and friends started pushing me to take it on a professional front and here I am. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">2. Do you have formal training?</span></b><br />
I often come across with this question from my clients, friends, relatives and it is amusing because I haven’t went through any formal training in arts, ever in my life, infact i have went through a formal training in commerce instead hehehe , jokes apart , since childhood I would keep creating something or the other from the dry waste at home. Also paper have got tremendous calibre to fascinate me, I mean one would always find a bundle of handmade paper in my room with which I would keep undertaking some or the other experiment .besides, as they say i am a quick learner ( beware) quilling is a good example to justify that.<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br />3. What is your day job?</span></b><br />
Well have just cleared National Eligibility Test in commerce so my day job is to study for fellowship and on look for lectureship and maybe by this season u’ll catch me somewhere with a stick, teaching kids (I am someone who loves being children ) <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>4. What's the best part of having your own business?</b></span><br />
Freedom of experimentation , freedom to explore , it gives you wings to fly as far as you can, unlike conventional business you are not stopped by boundaries of someone else’s decision .<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br />5. How do you plan for the future of your business?</span></b><br />
I won’t call myself a good planner phewwww!! But yeah!! I am a dreamer and I surly dream big, as of now I am looking forward to our first exhibition this summer and for that we have started working already, chemical reactions are taking place in our laboratory hehehehe . Besides , I am planning to add more attributes to my existing collection like key chains, neck piece, let’s see how far I reach in this direction<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><br />6. As an Artist, what is your biggest frustration?</b></span><br />
It’s been over 8 months since 3 dart is on roll and I have enjoyed every bit of it, from feeding the customer’s demand to taking inspiration from co- artists , I had a smooth ride ( fingers crossed ) and as you call me “ relaxed artist “ am always chilled out , hence so far nothing could really got on my nerves hehehe<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br />7. Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?</span></b><br />
<br />
Yep! Around a year back when I started off with quilling typography , while surfing through the net I came across with the work of yulia Brodskaya and I was totally blown by her creations, her work is simply fabulous and am sure she’s a goddess to every quiller here .<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>8. What advice can you offer other creative people who are just starting out and following their passions?</b></span><br />
<br />
Well , i can only extend what I follow “ Follow your dream with honesty and integrity, there is a whole world of possibilities out there, you just need to take a leap on your creativity and broaden your outlook “ , all the best!! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>9. How can fans purchase your work? Do you take custom orders and special requests?</b></span><br />
<br />
Aahaaaan!! For that , you just have to hop on to 3dart’s shop at my retail partner’s website <a href="http://www.indiebazaar.com/shop/3dart">http://www.indiebazaar.com/shop/3dart</a> and fill your cart with your favourite creation.

<span style="color: red;">How did you get your start?</span><br /><br />I started off with quilling as a hobby inspired by few creations online. I was awestruck by the beauty <br /><br />and variations in jewellery that could be created using paper as a major medium. I used to spend a <br /><br />lot of time to explore on the different techniques of quilling. In the recent times , I started exploring <br /><br />with polymer clay and trying to better my skills at it. Jewellery making is yet another added passion <br /><br />to my box of passions which include Music, Photography, Baking , Traveling. <br /><br /><span style="color: red;">What INSPIRED you and WHEN</span><br /><br />Inspired by the online creations, I started trying out various patterns. The whole process was so <br /><br />much fun and gave in a lot of room to explore “The Creative Me” . Few of my friends felt , I should <br /><br />scale it up to the next level . The whole idea behind my facebook page” SiyaArts” I owe to my best <br /><br />friend who gave me the push to come up with a medium to exhibit my work. So “SiyaArts” was <br /><br />officially launched in June’2013. <br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Do you have formal training?</span><br /><br />I am a self learner with loads of experimenting in line and I have totally enjoyed this path of <br /><br />learning . I think as a self learner, experimenting is the key to get better and better!You can definitely <br /><br />master your skills. Recently someone was surprised to know that I do not have any sketches for my <br /><br />work. It’s all in the flow and I owe this to the almighty! <br /><br /><span style="color: red;">What's the best part of having your own business?</span><br /><br />Honestly , I have no business model. It’s more of a Passion! I love to create for people who love my <br /><br />work. There have been instances where I have offered SiyaArts friends & followers my jewellery <br /><br />creations as a token of my love for them. I love customizations , especially when the person leaves <br /><br />the choice of design to me just with specific colour request. It broadens my creativity horizon. <br /><br />Possessing any form of art as a passion, is a great stress reliever in today’s scenario . <br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">How do you plan for the future of your business?</span></b><br /><br />I think I need to first make a proper business model , if at all I wish to turn my passion to career. One <br /><br />aspect which I would definitely focus on is conducting workshops. I believe in imparting whatever <br /><br />skills I possess to enthusiastic learners and to bring out the creativity within each of them. <br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>As an Artist, what is your biggest frustration?</b></span><br /><br />I have faced few instances where I got upset on knowing that my work was being copied by people . <br /><br />It’s absolutely fine to get inspired from creations, but not make a carbon copy of it. I came aross this <br /><br />very famous quote by Robin Sharma and it brought a wide smile on my face. “ You know<span style="background-color: black;"><span></span></span> you are <br /><br />winning when you see you are being copied! So celebrate being copied” <br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?</span><span></span></span><br /><br />There are many international artists who have inspired me and have put the “right “ side of my brain <br /><br />to more thinking ! <br /><br /><span style="color: red;">What advice can you offer other creative people who are just starting out and following their <br /><br />passions?</span><br />Try to identify your strengths and weakness of any artform that you wish to pursue . Always give <br /><br />scope for improvement & welcome criticism. That can definitely take you to greater heights. Be <br /><br />original and get creative. Do not limit your imagination . Remember <span style="color: red;">“Success isn’t just about what <br /><br />you accomplish in your life., It’s about what you inspire others to do”</span>. So encourage amateur/other <br /><br />artists and be an inspiration to them in whatever little way that you can do. <br /><br /><span style="color: red;">How can fans purchase your work? Do you take custom orders and special requests?</span><br /><br />You can drop a message with product code or if you want any customizations to be done.<br /><br />FacebookPage : www.facebook.com/SiyaArts email me @ siyaarts@gmail.com<h4 style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.600000381469727px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">

<b><span style="color: red;">How did you both get your start? </span></b><br />
<br />
I moved to Germany and was getting
accustomed to the place and as a hobby, I was making painting on the
stretched canvas boards. The materials were very costly owing to their
brand names & because of their quality standards. It was then, I
decided that if there is a chance to sell these first 6 paintings to
take back the investment alone without any profit, then I can re-invest
the amount that I have received. Golden Trees Art by Vikashini kicked
off on Aug 2013, when Vikashini’s paintings were sold in Flohmarkt in
Erlangen, Germany. And at the same time, when my Close friend (happened
to be my college junior) Sowmiya joined hands with me to sell Terracotta
jewellery. It was then decided by us to start a Brand name and decided
that everything created by us will nest under this & to work as one
team.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>What INSPIRED the both of you and WHEN… </b></span><br />
<br />
Vikashini was always an Art
fanatic and was making paintings to her family & friends. Sowmiya
was always passionate to create handcrafted items. <br />
We both got
inspired by each other to start this new Brand when we started to talk
about LIKE MINDED CREATIVE STUFFS on Facebook & wanted to join hands
together and make the step forward.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">You girls had any formal training? </span></b><br />
<br />
Vikashini
had her 5day Fabric painting course during her 10th grade
Holidays(2001) & was then painting on pillow covers, chudidhars,
cotton & silk sarees of her mom. She had to undergo training for oil
painting during her college days. Vikashini would always consider that
self-learning is the best & she is a self-taught artist for
Acrylics, Polymer Clay Jewellery, Paper Quilling, Painting on Porcelain
materials, wood etc., Sowmiya had her basic training in Terracotta
Jewellery and she is a self-taught artist in Paper Quilling & Wine
Bottle Art.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>What is your day jobs? </b></span><br />
<br />
Before moving to Germany, Vikashini
was a Head of Quality Systems after her graduation from Cambridge
University, and Sowmiya is currently a Design Engineer in an MNC after
graduating from PSG College of Technology. Now, Vikashini works full
time for Golden Trees and Sowmiya gives her full heart and soul to
create something unique and out of the box creatively whenever she finds
time.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>What's the best part of having your own business? </b></span><br />
<br />
Our
creative space is the best part of our own business. As we own the
concepts which keeps us liberal in creating our own designs for our
products. Moreover, we have our own breaks, limitations on investment
and expansion. Above all, we work stress-free, as our job is only what
our mind thinks creatively to make the best with our heart and soul.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>How do you plan for the future of your business? </b></span><br />
<br />
For Art :
We have planned to make Gallery Exhibits in the coming years, of which
we already made one in India on Jan 4th,2014 and have planned for group
show in June-Sep 2014 in Erlangen, Germany. We have also got inquiries
from Interior Decorators and are currently working for them. <br />
Jewellery : We have planned to extend our works on Polymer Clay and more of Eco-Friendly and Beaded Jeweleries. <br />
Home Decors : We are planning to diversify the Product Line and make anything that is creative and catchy.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>As an Artist, what is both of your biggest frustration? </b></span><br />
<br />
Each
piece of Creative Stuff created by an Artist is not just with hands
alone, but hours of thinking & pondering over ideas, to put them in
right shape to give the Best Quality & Best Design. & Any Artist
is frustrated if : Someone copies their work.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to? </b></span><br />
<br />
There
are many Artists & Designers that we admire for their original work
& we take inspirations to create such unique designs that defines
our Brand. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>What advice can you offer other creative people who are just starting out and following their passions? </b></span><br />
<br />
Be
original. Create something Unique. Break the Hardships. Explore
Opportunities. Nothing Comes Easy or our Way. Follow your Passion. Don’t
give up. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>How can fans purchase your work? Do you take custom orders and special requests? </b></span><br />
<br />
We
do make our own Handcrafted items and post directly for selling and we
also make custom orders for Home Interiors, Birthday Parties Return
Gifts & Customised Jewelleries.<br />

Description: I have made a poster for the "carnival" you are hosting. It took me 8-9 hours over 3 days to conceptualize and execute the poster. I have used a lot of quilling/quillography in the poster which I love doing. I made the banner using washi tape; balloons, the clown and the scissor with quilling paper - they r quilled. I have added the clown, banner, the confetti and the mask to indicate carnival; the scissors, button (if u can see it, a white one) and some thread to indicate craft/handmade. The material used is paper, washi tape and glue and the single button ;)<br />
<br />
Inspiration - I actually wanted to quill out the word carnival and make it the centre point but it did not come out well so I scrapped the idea and made this poster instead. <br />
<br />
Title - Since it is a poster that I have made, let's call it "Poster It"<br />

Title for my work-Dancing peacock.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Time taken-3days(making,baking n painting)</div>
<div>
Material used is Indian clay(terracotta).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What inspired me to make it?</div>
<div>
This <span class="il">carnival</span> is about colours and any
festival is happiness so a peacock came to my mind as the thought
itself of a dancing peacock stretching its feather brings in colour,
happiness elegance and peace.The glorious colour display raises my
spirit and helps to bring out the best in me.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">My name
is Dhanya Surendranath and I am from Kerala. I have done my Masters in Biotechnology and I have also
completed my MBA. I am not employed at present, although I did have a brief
stint as a lecturer, and crafting takes up most of my time these days :) .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">When I
heard of <span class="il">Carnival</span>, the first thing that came to mind was the <span class="il">Carnival</span> Eye Mask.
I always wanted to make one and cover it with quilled patterns but it never materialized.
Till now, that is. Holi of course is synonymous with colors. So a Holi
<span class="il">Carnival</span> could only mean a riot of colours on a <span class="il">Carnival</span> mask </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">That’s how
I got to making this project. At first I thought of random patterns in various
colours, but as I progressed, the work began to take a meaning of its own. I
began to think about our country at large and its vibrant hues. So many colours,
so much diversity and yet, they somehow seem to unite us. I thought of colours
that all Indians identify with. The colours of our national flag. The colours
of the peacock, our national bird. The colours of the lotus, our national
flower. Those of the tiger, our national animal. The colours of the rich paddy
fields, the colours of the sea and sand… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I have
tried in my own humble way to showcase these here in this project. The base of
the eye mask is made with glitter paper and the patterns have been made with
quilling strips of various sizes. The mask has been designed in the form of two
hands which are joined, signifying unity. There are two holes in the hands for
the eyes, which is an appeal to my countrymen to open their eyes to the unity
in our rich diversity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">This
work took me a total of three days to make and was one of the most memorable
projects I have worked on. I wish that this Holi, as we drench ourselves and
others in colours, we take a moment to reflect on how much more these different
colours unite us than divide.</span></div>

<b>Inspiration:</b>
I have been inspired by the holi festival in totality. I have tried to
depict how we begin playing by wearing white clothes (the silver
peacock) , with rich colors slowly getting added on resulting in a murky
gray at the end for loop. The wrapping pattern represent the striped
shaminas (canopies) stretched out during <span class="il">carnivals</span> and the beads represent the festival goodies. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Materials used </b>- Filigree silver pendant, cotton and silk cords, wooden and semiprecious beads</div>
<div>
<b>Descriptions</b>
- the silver pendant was originally created (handmade) as an earring by
a filigree artisan for one of my upcoming collections which was adapted
by me as a pendant focal by wire wrapping it to the multi layered cord
necklace which was made by me</div>

When life throws lemons make a lemonade!
this summer (that's most of part of the year in India!) lets get eco
friendly and fight back the heat with trendy hand fans when possible!
Going back to the old way in style and paying less electricity bill
too.. Celebrate all colours of life !</div>
<div>
This hand stitched hand fan is made of jute and the middle figure
of happy dancing Indian lady is made of thai clay. Took 8 hrs to make
(without any molds or cutters). Can be hung like a wall hanging when not
in use so servers double purpose.. </div>

(All ready to attend your <span class="il">carnival</span>)<br />
The moment I came across with HNB's challenge I knew, it have to be<br />
miniature this time and these cute little creatures featured in<br />
"Despicable Me" took my heart long back. I love to play with colors<br />
and your theme gave me all the opportunity to have fun with my<br />
miniature Minions. One will always find Minions in a group and so I<br />
came up with a group of 4 minions each dressed up in different attire<br />
and all set to attend the <span class="il">carnival</span>.<br />
<br />
Technique used : Paper quilling<br />
<br />
Miniature size : The miniatures are approximately 5.5cm tall<br />
<br />
Material used : Paper strips of different GSM<br />
<br />
Strip size : For this particular project I have used paper strips<br />
ranging from 0.5mm to 3cm<br />
<br />
Time taken : each one took approximately 3-4 hrs, together I guess I<br />
gave them 12 or so hrs <br />

Thoughts flow-in when you utter “ Holi Carnival”. One can see the plethora of celebrations in my one-of- a-kind painting done for Handmade N Beyond.<br />
Thoughts that struck me to create this fusion : Holi means colours, Carnival means festivals. And I came to a conclusion that I’m gonna make a fusion painting of different festivals combined to form one Story : Colours => Festivals => Happiness.<br />
One can find the following : Holi Festival- Festival of Colours, Carnival – Masks, Rajasthan’s Desert Festival Dance by a multicoloured dressed girl, Govinda (breaking the pot- can be seen above the rangoli) during Krishna Janmashtami, Christmas’ Stars, Mehndi is usually a pre-marriage festival celebrating with a bride and her family, friends, Elephant Festival of Jaipur, Durga Puja, Lantern Festival of China, Dragon Boat Festival of China, Dussehra-Festival of Lights (Can be seen with the Ravana burning by an arrow, Crackers on the sky and with karthigai deepams) & Village Festival in India (One can see the Ferris Wheel, Kids with balloons, Shops). All these are interlinked by a common name “FESTIVAL”, which in turn spreads happiness and living with our tradition. We all assure to make these live for all Generations. (The space was enough to cover the above.)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">How did you get your start?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">As a child and teenager I had an
inclination towards arts and crafts, loved this show M.A.D on POGO, used to
note down things to do, but most of the times lack of time or unavailability of
materials kept me away from the world of creativity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Glass painting was the first form I tried,
thanks to one of my friends who briefed me about the basics.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">During my post-maternity rest phase, I took
up jewelry making from a neighbour aunty and was engrossed in jewelry making
whenever I could find time to spare.<br />
<br />
Once I settled in the UAE and our kid started school, I had enough free time
and needed to keep myself engaged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hence, brushed up my interest, took formal classes in paper quilling,
and tried various creative things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">What INSPIRED you and WHEN…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">I always loved colours, I just love to wee
through the clothes displayed in textile shops for the colour combinations and
textures……I am self-taught mostly but yes Google Guru was always there to
help!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Inspiration to start a business came when I
had enough free time and when I saw many facebook pages where artists displayed
their work and even sold via facebook business pages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I thought of trying too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Do you have formal training?<br />
I took a basic jewelry making class and a workshop on paper quilling basics.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">What is your day job?<br />
I am a homemaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My day starts even
before the Sun is up, finish all my work early enough to create something
everyday and I am happy the way I do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">What's the best part of having your own
business?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Flexible timings, freedom to try what I
like are the best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the name of biz I
get to spend on beads, paper and other craft stuff and can do hours of shopping
at craft stores, bliss!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">How do you plan for the future of your
business?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">I am not a big fan of planning, I do things
spontaneously but yes I am leaning and will definitely improve over course of
time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">As an Artist, what is your biggest
frustration?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Frustration comes to me when the outcome is
not as I imagined, when someone disturbs me when I am in a mood to create and
when customers bargain without taking into account the effort and love we have
put into each piece.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Are there any crafters/artists/designers
that you particularly look up to?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">No one in particular, but I keep browsing
to see what other artists are creating and try to achieve a level of perfection
that others have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>HNB has introduced to
me many artists/crafters who are great inspiration for me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">What advice can you offer other creative
people who are just starting out and following their passions?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">You may not be successful initially, have
faith in self, enjoy what you do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perfection is the key, so try to achieve perfection in what you do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Success has to knock your door sooner or
later.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">How can fans purchase your work? Do you
take custom orders and special requests?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">My creations can be purchased through my
facebook page JV Creations or Vaibhavi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I also take custom orders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I saw the contest requirements, this unique design came from my heart. This pair of Chandelier earrings is very stylish & contemporary with Indian touch. Here is my work drawn from the imagination of magnificent glories of Lord Krishna symbolized by his iconic peacock feather.

I have used 18-gauge copper wire to create the forms of the earrings. The curvy frames were fashioned using wire then hand forged and polished. Tiny dyed red coral beads were coiled onto thinner 26-gauge copper wire to create a burst of colour. Svarovski crystal beads in various hues of purple dangle from the center of the frame to add sparkle. The curved frames are attached to each other using hand-made copper jump rings to give them that fluidity. A heart shaped connector has been used to attach jump rings to the frames and the hand made and forged copper ear wires are the final cog in the wheel which brings the chandelier earring together. It is a lovely coming together of rustic copper wire, vivid coral beads and sparkly crystals, which completes Sameera.</div>

From design on paper to completion of piece took about 4-5 joyful creative hours. Trimadhura is the dream of 3 sisters living in different parts of the globe, who share a deep love of handmade creations that have a unique appeal. This love of beauty which links many of us together makes us appreciate this initiative of Handmade 'N' Beyond. The inspiration is Trimadhura's love to create handmade items. </div>

The earring is based on a concept. I have done the base stud resembling sun and moon, which means both men and women have a equal footage in our society. The stud is the symbolic representation of it. The stud is followed by two peacocks with their feathers open, meaning the wings already exists for us, all we got to do is just open a feathers and fly/dance. The chandelier pattern is made from the shape of mango ended with a red bead. I wanted to add Indian touch to it, with modern colours so for this ethnic design I have used bright combinations such as yellow and grey, peacock blue, onion pink and ultramarine blue and finally bright yellow and blue for the mango. That is reason behind the title “ethnic fuscia”.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The medium I have used is clay with beads and stones. I have painted the earring with acrylic paint. Total time taken for it right is approximately 8 hours and my inspiration to take part in this contest.</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I call my creation, SINDOORI (Hindi)- which translated in english is called Vermillion. Married Hindu women put Sindoor ( Vermillion) in parting of their hair as sign of marriage.There is No festive ritual complete witout the use of Sindoor. This colour is Favourite of Goddess Durga who stands for Shakti ( Power). As its festival season coming in for Indians , I was inspired to take the colour that symbolize it. So I have used Red & gold as these represent colours of our festival.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have put multiple lines of crystal using metal links in a diamond shaped brass plate with holes punched in it. Another metal link is used to complete the top of earring using textured acrylic metal coated bead.Gold polished Hook is used for hanging.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It takes 25 minutes to make this pair of earrings. I have used Red glass crystal beads, Textured Acrylic metal coated beads, Punched brass metal plates, Gold polished Hook and links.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">TITLE : JHUMKA GIRA RE</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
NAME OF CREATOR : Jothi Vinod</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
DESCRIPTION : The earrings have one big jhumka in BLOCK COLOURS pink and violet as the centre piece and many smaller jhumkas in the CHANDELIER for the INDIAN TOUCH in it. The jhmkas are paper quilled to perfection and the pink shiny beads and gold plated beads add to the beauty of the piece.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
PROCESS OF MAKING : 3mm pink and violet paper strips used to make the jhumkas with paper quilling technique, mounted on headpin and hung on the loop. Smaller jhumkas made in single colours, teamed with pink and violet beads and gold plated beads, hung on the lower end of the loop for the chandelier look.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
MAKING TIME : 2 hours approximately</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
MATERIALS USED : Gold covering beads, 3mm quilling strips in pink and violet, pink shiny beads and gold coloured hoops and hooks.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
INSPIRATION : Jhumkas are my personal favourite. One of the main T&C of the competiton was INDIAN STYLE and what could be more Indian than jhumkas!!!! Pink and violet was the colour of my favourite PATTU PAVAADI (silk long skirt) during my childhood, just loved it and hence the colour combination for the earrings. The colours also suited the condition of BLOCK COLOURS. </div>

<span style="color: #222222;">My earrings are made from cotton thread using tatting. I've used crystals and silver colored wires for hangings.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It took me 1 day to design it. Then I made one trial sample and finalized the design. It took me about 1 hour in making final piece. So in total, it was a two day process for final piece.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Earrings are about 8cms. long and 2 cms. broad.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I saw a hanging with this kind of curves which inspired me to make this design with tatting. I changed the design to suit tatting patters and then made this earring.</div>

One needs to consider that exhibition work as a part of culture and talent.offers a variety of means to appreciate the worth and relevance of handmade.Exhibitions range from an extraordinarily large event ,to small one-artist.<br />
<br />
Art exhibitions include an array of artifacts from countless forms of human making: paintings, drawings, crafts, sculpture, video installations, sound installations, performances, interactive art, etc. Art exhibitions may focus on one artist, one group, one genre, one theme or one collection; or may be organized by curators, selected by juries, or show any artwork submitted. Exhibitions take it As a reliable media for exchange of information,celebrates both the rich history and Artist.explores the wide space between the hand made and the mass manufactured. Crafting Architecture features handmade architectural models to highlight the importance of craft in the design process and in communicating concepts & strategies.<br />
<br />
Long before vintage fashion boutiques were in vogue, artisans found ways to repurpose precious handmade with fair and stalls Display advertising,Throughout history and across cultures, We at<a href="https://www.facebook.com/HandmadeNBeyond" target="_blank"> Handmade and Beyond</a> value certain objects because they are handmade; because of whose hand made them; and because they are historically important.Toward the other end of the crawl, participants can create handmade postcards, buttons and sculptures at the Shake It & Make It with and exhibit. These are among the assortment of activities throughout the Cultural District that are and will be more to come.<br />
<br />
So I urge that when you know of an Exhibition and its Location and nothing to do on a weekend then go Visit be amazed, and get inspired I have one to my notice, And i feel sad I cannot be there I am based in another part of the Country but I will someday Go to Chennai to see this Exhibition called the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/urbanhands" target="_blank">Urban Hands. </a><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>How did you get your start?</b><br />
I have always been a crafter – from making paper houses and Christmas décor in childhood to making jewelry…It has always seemed like a natural progression to me. My actual “start” in the handmade jewelry world was when my friend Eva sent me some pictures of jewelry she had made while living in U.S.A. I was curious to see if we could do the same in India – so I looked up a few YouTube videos, read a lot of tutorials, bought books to educate myself and then just started making jewelry.<br />
<br />
What INSPIRED you and WHEN…<br />
I am inspired by colors – I love the beautiful colors of nature, the many hues in a Kanjeevaram saree and of course the colors of the beads I use. Every color is a feeling to me and I always love to make jewelry that has good vibes and a positivity to it. My mother and brother are very talented artists and my dad is great at problem solving – I think I may have inherited these traits from them. My husband is my greatest support and encouragement – I am inspired when I am with my family.<br />
<br />
<b>Do you have formal training?</b><br />
I have not received any formal training, but I have just attended some jewelry workshops conducted by DakshinaChitra (soft stone jewelry) and a fabric jewelry workshop by the very talented Jewelry Designer - Divya Narasimhan, in Chennai.<br />
<br />
<b>What is your day job?</b><br />
I am a technical writer in a multinational firm at a full time position. My handmade jewelry and paper craft is my creative outlet. I am a midnight crafter and I enjoy making things with my hands.<br />
<br />
<b>What's the best part of having your own business?</b><br />
The best part about it is that I have an excuse to buy pretty beads! Seriously – I enjoy work with my hands, it is a good stress relief and having my own business gives me great self-confidence. I love meeting new people through my business and sharing my talents.<br />
<br />
<b>How do you plan for the future of your business?</b><br />
My husband and I have unofficial weekend “meetings” where we discuss how to go forward with the business, any issues or problems, and make any plans we need to make. We are trying to set monthly goals for ourselves and that helps us to plan our time better.<br />
<br />
<b>As an Artist, what is your biggest frustration?</b><br />
My biggest frustration is the lack of supplies. Finding good quality supplies is my aim because I want every Siara customer to be able to cherish their purchase for a long long time. I wish we had hobby/ bead stores like they have in the U.S.A in India too.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?</b><br />
I look up to many many creative people – hard to name all but my biggest inspiration is Maggie Whitley who runs a sewing business (Gussy Sews). She is full of great advice and handmade business tips. Closer to home <b>– I find<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Quillkaari" target="_blank"> Quillkaari</a>- Swaati Chattopadhyay, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/teekhiichhurii" target="_blank">Teekhii Chhurii</a>- Pooja Ajmera, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CraftingQueen" target="_blank">Crafting Queen</a> – Karuna Chauhan very inspiring. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What advice can you offer other creative people who are just starting out and following their passions?</b><br />
My advice would be to believe in yourself – it took me a long time to be confident about my creative abilities. There is no problem that cannot be solved – don’t be afraid to ask for help from your friends and family. And please support other handmade artists and creative people – they are just like you and they would love to be appreciated and acknowledged just like you.<br />
<br />
<b>How can fans purchase your work? Do you take custom orders and special requests?</b><br />
My jewelry is available at It’s Handmade.in. I take custom orders/ special requests for nameboards, mini-albums for babies/ children, bunting banners, paper boxes and cards. If you would like any custom jewelry, or paper products please contact me at <a href="mailto:studiosiara@gmail.com">studiosiara@gmail.com</a> for more details.<br />

I Replied "OH NO" . Then i think yeah I get a print and am done, but no she opens the draws to get just a paper and a pen and she wrote it all down in a piece of paper. I have had my biggest smiles in years. Simplicity can make me cry. I know that learning from experienced Artist is a blessings. And when I see the cost I am still shocked its not as much as the market charges. I have it with me the list send me an email will give you details.

Title :"A Gift to Treasure<3" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Description : I just thought of doing something which suits for everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So i have chosen to do it for "Best Friend". No matter how old you are, we have a best friend to whom we share everything, fight endlessly and do all crazy things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A Frame (30cm x 24.5cm). Instead of leaving a gap to fit the photo,i just fill it with a cute little Paper Cut and a saying related to it . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Inspiration : I am passionate towards paper crafts and paintings. If i got a paper in my hand i ll do something with that </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Materials Used :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Recycled Items</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1.Wooden Board left after carpeting (luckily i got a perfect shape:)) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2.Old magazine papers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3.Old cardboard from a shirt parcel for the Paper cut and finally for the make over a white cloth, chalk powder, Fevicol and Acrylic Paints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Time Taken : Approximately 2 days!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Process of Making :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here it goes!!:) First i covered the wooden board with a piece of white cloth. I used fevicol to glue it, make sure there should not be any </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
ups and downs in the cloth,It should be perfectly flat. I used a paste (Mixture of chalk powder, fevicol and little water) and applied it over </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
the board and made it dry. Actually same process is done in preparing the board for doing Tanjore Paintings. I used the technique here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After the board gets dried completely i applied blue and white mix of acrylic paint and the board is ready!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here comes the fun part.. To decorate the board i made many shapes by rolling the old magazine papers. I collected many number of rolls and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
started making different shapes and i totally forgot that i am doing it for an exhibition:P Finally i pasted the rolled paper for the border </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My most favorite part is Paper Cutting. I have drawn this cute picture and used a old cardboard from the shirt parcel to cut it and finally </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
wrote a saying relating the picture. </div>

Talking about inspiration.. I was very much exited to participate in the exhibition, and I made a brooch as "something for Man".. But I didn't recognized the subject is recycling.. After a long time Pistachio shells solved my question <span style="background-image: url(https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yp/r/0z4K_Hr7JrT.png); background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; min-height: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;" title=":)"></span> It was something perfect match with the concept, and "Tribal designs - for Man"

What Inspired me - of-course my husband....he is a gadget freak....n my biggest support...he has always encouraged me to do what i believe in.....n ideally i would gift this to him on our anniversary maybe as the warli painting depicts the wedding procession..

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Description of my creation:-</b></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Like every man, my man also has a special corner in his heart dedicated specially to his darling beer (and surprisingly, i'm not envious of her). So every other weekend, post rendezvous with this darling of his, i'm left with a lot of cleaning and empty beer cans.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thats when i decide to take matters in my own hands(quite literally!) I took all the cans, separated all the required tops from them, worked my way around with a little help from a nylon string, attached a pin at the back and voila! The birth of the beer brooch!</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The beer brooch pinned to my prince charmings shirt or coat, although will be a quick reminder of beer, but deep down he'll know whos always close to his heart..</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Inspiration: I thought of things that the men in my life like to do. For example, my husband loves his bike and listening to music, my dad is an ardent reader, and a couple of other friends are coffee lovers and passionate about photography. The common link between all of them is the love for reading. So I designed these bookmarks with personalized messages that will not only be about something they love but also made my somebody who loves them. J</span><br />

Its made of BREAD - BREAD CRAFT with the base being recycled items ( tissue holder, chocolate box, card board that comes with shirts). Have been doing bread craft for almost 9 years now and the first piece that I made is still as good as new in my showcase. The idea was given by my husband and am sure most men will need one. I have taken the theme of beach as thats a favorite place for many.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Time taken for the process excluding planning and raw material procurement is 16 hrs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Simple procedure is to treat the bread with insecticide and then make a dough of it with white glue. then we can proceed with making the required shapes. Its given a protective coat after drying. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Care : use a soft brush to dust or wipe with slightly damp cloth</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">- Well since the exhibition was announced I had been brainstorming and considering what material to recycle/up-cycle......just couldn't decide.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Then, two days ago it hit me when I sipped on a (glass) bottle of Thums Up...?? Yes I was gonna use its cap. Got two bottle caps one 7Up and the other Thums Up...and sat down deciding what to do with them... knowing me it had to be jewelry, but for a man!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">- Creative Sparks flying!!! No idea yet...hmmm called up hubby asked him exactly which bike he loved...Royal Enfield Classic 500 was his reply...there I had my idea.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">- Got to work on the layout and color theme...downloaded pics of a red Enfield checked out the others. Checked out quilled bikes too, knew I had to add some quilling element. Dilemma:-( work space on bottle cap was only 1 inch!!! Eeeeks!! Well I always wanted to do micro quilling here was my chance...</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">- Used word to crate some samples and finalized a few, got color print outs.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">- Prepared the bottle caps by hammering them down to the shape I wanted. Coated them with black nail varnish placed them to dry. nailed holes for findings.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">- Prepared the printed paper by painting PPA over it.....NOOO!!! Ink smudged all over bad idea :-(</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">- Luckily Hubby Brought two printouts...saved... this time applied glaze ...perfectly done kept for drying. All dried ready for cutting.....done all pieces, cut perfectly...:-)</span></span></div>

<b>Title for my work: "Shaving Pouch Organized"</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Item and Material used: I have made a shaving pouch. It is made of synthetic leather and inside lining is of cotton and synthetic net. Has two see through net pockets, one of the pockets has zip for closure. Height is 5.5'' and width is 8'' and 9.5'' from bottom and top respectively. A zip is attached on top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Pouch is machine stitched but for extra strength, I've used hand stitches with thick thread on leather. Top decorative stitch is also hand stitched.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Process of making: I first decided on the shape, dimensions and then materials. Drew a pattern and made a prototype(with waste clothes). Once I was satisfied with the prototype and decided on the steps of making, I cut lining pouch. Sewed the lining pouch completely (with pockets and zip). Then made a similar pouch with synthetic leather(without pockets of course). Attached lining pouch temporarily to main pouch and then attached Zip on top. After this sewed lining and pouch together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Time Taken: It took me about 12-13 hrs. in total, including time for design and prototype. Hand stitching also took more than 1 hr.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Inspiration: I was looking for a shaving pouch for my husband which was not much bulky but could house all his essentials during his out of town trips. In his earlier pouch, while looking for things, he had to take out everything all the time since it did not have inside pockets. Most of the pouches available in the market also did not have inside pockets, so I decided to make this pouch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As per the condition of the exhibition, inner lining materials(cotton and net both) are up cycled. I have small pieces cotton left after my earlier sewing. Net pieces were leftovers of window covering.</div>

Item Details :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After watching Steven Spielberg’s animation film on Tintin, I made the first edition of this aircraft to fulfill the wish of my 5 year old son. After some trial n error I made this second edition with some changes, specially for this event.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It’s made with materials like cardboard roll, corrugated packing box, pin, acrylic paint and glue. It took almost two days to complete the job.</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">2. Description of the Item: A storage tray made out of recycled paper. Women have purses and special organizers to store their perfumes and cosmetics. But men are left out of this game as it never strikes anyone that they also own a number of perfumes and cosmetics. But giving a special thought to my husbands and brothers needs, to store 'his' favorite perfumes, shaving creams and other lotions and to help 'him' never lose 'his' pair of socks again, this Basket of Love was designed. A special gift from a wife to her husband or from a sister to her brother. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. Process of making, time taken and Materials: Old glossy magazines, 70-90gsm paper used. Each sheet was uniformly cut into several 2.5cm stripes and individual tubes/ straws created out of them. Then these tubes were used to weave-in the whole basket, the olden days bamboo weaving style. It took me around 15 days to make.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This week I am going to talk a little bit like being the customer buying the art.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<br />
Do you go that wee bit extra for your customers? We all try to impress our customers who come to our shops, whether online or otherwise,with our shop banners, our carefully pieced together collages, our labels and other methods of getting our names remembered,and the descriptions we write about our beautifully, handcrafted items and of course the items themselves.But it shouldn't stop there! What do you do to make sure your customers become return customers?<br />
<br />
Customer Service-its something we are all familiar with and it is a Priority of Practically every company,but some miss the mark and others exceed expectations. It is customer after all who helps your Business Grow.<br />
<br />
With these tips, it will be easier to serve the customer in a way that everyone is satisfied.An artist selling their work wants the customer to be pleased with their purchase. They do not want to sell you something faulty or something you do not really want. They put a lot of time and effort into their product, and they want it to find a great home.artists have special skills and work very hard at their craft. More often than not they are trying to put a roof over their family’s heads and food on the table. Some artists will do custom orders. Be clear regarding what they are looking for. Be prepared to take a significant down payment. A custom order should be treated as a professional transaction with a contract with both parties agreeing to each step of the process. You would not be surprised that a contractor remodeling your house would require down payments, contracts, and confirmation regarding what you are looking for. A custom order is no different when working with a professional artist.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ask questions. You have the right to know what you are purchasing. Often times art can be expensive and you should be clear about what you have. It can be frustrating for an artist when a customer asks “Did you really make all of this?” However, an artist selling their work is usually looking forward to sharing details of their process with a customer. let them Find a piece or two that they find intriguing and let them ask questions specifically regarding it. How was it made? What is it made of? What inspired you to make it? It is likely to start a lively conversation and you will learn more about something you may decide to buy.<br />
<br />
Many forms of art have care instructions.Some metals are damaged in certain chemicals. Not all fabrics are washable. The artist selling to you should be familiar with the care needs of their product. Make sure you heed those directions so that you can best enjoy your new acquisition. It is the artist’s responsibility to provide you with a well made product and make certain you are aware of the care needed. It is not the Artist responsibility to replace the item if those directions are ignored!When buying online from sites .keep in mind that while the product should closely resemble the photo the artist provided, that there can be some discrepancies due to the quality of the photograph provided, the browser you are using, and differences in computer monitors. If you require an exact color match, you may be better served purchasing something in person. Let them Read the artist’s policies and ask them not to be shy contacting the artist through the conversation function.<br />
<br />
A customer is not happy for some reasons and if not resolved the potential negative feedback or claim against your store can be bad for business, The one difficult thing selling online is that you don't know who you are dealing with when u have a customer complains filed against you. There are so many ways things can be misunderstood though online communication.lets look at some ways to prevent such misunderstandings resolving these issues when they do arise.<br />
<br />
<b>Don't be disrespectful,rude or defensive in the way you handle complaints.</b><br />
<br />
Do not go and post a topic in a public forum of your crazy customer.the point is be respectful, it has more a reflection on you as a seller than it does on anything the customer could have done. what will potential customer's think when they see the way your have handled such a tricky situation?would you want to buy from someone who publicly dis regards their customers concerns as unimportant?<br />
<br />
Do not be unprofessional or rude - although the customer may address you in a rude way, don't respond to their rudeness, its easy for people to say whatever they want, when they want, when they can hide behind an online profile and never have to see you face to face. Many times common courtesy is lost online.Even if what they initially say is upsetting or insulting to you, always respond in a professional way and avoid any rude or negative comments back to them. Try to get past their rudeness to see what the real issue or complain is and respond to that<br />
.<br />
<br />
<b>Preventing Misunderstandings</b><br />
<br />
Have clear Policies and Procedures- Sounds boring but it is part of having an online shop.but You have to outline policies in your shop. Think about Potential Situations that Could arise and how you would handle them. What if a customer wants a refund. will you refund if they return the Item? Will you pay for the them to ship it back or will they have to pay for their shipping? will you refund the original shipping? if there a timeline where they must return the items within 15 days or 30 days? the more you think about all the tings that could wrong, the better prepared you will be to handle issues when they Happen. Having clear guidelines and policies will also help back up your responses to customers will appear professional too.<br />
<br />
<b>Communication - </b><br />
While you get the order Keep the Customer informed about the Process if delays Communicate let them know ,and also after the order has reached the Customer<b>.</b> Responding quickly to any request or concerns about an order can help calm an anxious customer.<br />
<br />
<b>Have a system to schedule orders-</b><br />
Another Challenge for those who have more success at first then they expected, is keeping up with orders. This is a good problem to have, but can be a challenge to keep up good customer service and meet deadlines when you are overwhelmed with more order than you think you can handle. There are a few trips and tools you can use to make sure each customer is getting the level of service you want .<br />
<br />
<b>1</b>. Use a spreadsheet to keep track of you open orders and due dates.Being able to sort by due date or having a timeline that outlines the different projects that are open will help keep you organised.<br />
<br />
<b>2</b>. Print your open orders and keep them in a folder, as they are finished remove them from the folder.<br />
<br />
<b>3</b>. use list, calendar or charts<br />

<b>4</b>. if all else fails increase your prices. this might cause your sales to slow down,but hopefully the ones you do get will make up for the ones you dont. The customer who pays a higher price for your product can also enjoy better customer service from you than if you stretch yourself too thin and cant keep up.<br />

<b>Tips for After you get that first Complaint</b><br />
<br />
<b>Communication- </b><br />
Its a certainly a customers right to voice their concerns.Sometimes they will be happy with just a response back. But be calm and kind keep the communication lines open<br />
<br />
<b>Think outside the box</b>.<br />
Alternate ways to possible resolving issues. the package did not arrive,but have you contact the post office to verify or have the customer checked . or if its digital email check spam folder.Etc<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Stick with your policies or be Flexible</b>-<br />
Test the Policies. it is a tough call and one that only you can make. Each situation is as different as there are different products,people and circumstance. Despite all your efforts to resolve an issue, you might get a customer who will never be Pleased,<br />

<b>How did you get your start?</b><br />
<br />
I began my business way back in 2003 but was just a no show, mostly turned out to be gifts for free and a little of teaching Candle making I quit it for a full time Job. second try was in 2011 again failed attempt but then I gave it my all in 2012 and it has been picking up every since. I used to sit at my work Desk and make gifts and give gifts and endlessly browse.Self thought from patterns to materials to experiment with and finally the Continuous Encouragement from My husband and the first investor My sister . said "make Rs 700 from this 500 I invested in you" :D which I did. And Ideas have kept flowing and things have never been better. I love everyday and look forward to creating one thing everyday at-least.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I WAS INSPIRED WHEN…</b><br />
<br />
I was a little girl. Candles making classes, and Mehendi, nothing related to what I do now.But crafting is my passion always wanted to do so since I was a child used to teach candle making for a while back in 2003.Later I got Hooked seeing my sister Crochet she is a Genius she has helped me in all the patterns I have in store till date. Clay work was my inspiration from Etsy while I used to kill time at work on my desk.<br />
<br />
<b>Do you have formal training? </b>- Non<br />
<br />
<b>What is your day job? </b><br />
I recently left a position where I wore many hats. And finally with a lot of Encouragement, I built all my courage to jump to a long time dream and with 2 failed attempts of having my own business. My third try is a success <b>(never never give-up).</b><br />
<br />
<b>What's the best part of having your own business? </b><br />
You work within your own time frame. You design something (work) because you choose to, not because your boss tells you to do so. You are your own boss. And it is such a great reward when you succeed in it. It gives me pride in my own achievements.<br />
<br />
How do you plan for the future of your business?<br />
Right now I definitely take opportunities as they come. Some day I hope to have a more formal business. I definitely never want a desk job again .<br />
<br />
<b>As an Artist, what is your biggest frustration?</b><br />
<br />
People who think Handmade is cheap.<br />
<br />
<b>Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?</b><br />
<br />
Everyone and anyone who work with their own two hands, has an imagination that brings their work to life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What advice can you offer other creative people who are just starting out and following their passions?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Start by making something easy – jewellery is a good place to start. You should make something you really want to make – that way you won’t give up when it gets difficult. When people compliment you on what you’ve created, it’ll give you a real boost and encourage you to continue. Also – learn little techniques that will help you in lots of different crafts.<br />
There are so many people selling jewellery/bags/shoes/magnets/bookmarks or anything else out there -- it might make you think there isn't room for another one. The most important thing is have your own original and unique style. Once you have a stable production, promote and update your products regularly to magazines, blogs, stores, and wholesalers. Give samples to press. Out of the many places you approach, one or two will be interested, and that's where it counts, so don't get discouraged if promising avenues end up going nowhere.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society where everything is either a click or a short drive away. Why should people continue to make things by hand?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
When you make something by hand, you’re forced to slow down — to learn the craft, to find inspiration or to take it to another level. It also helps maintain some level of individuality; I love being able to create things to look how I’d like, in the colors that I like, knowing that no one else may look the same.<br />
