About The Art of Preservation
The secret to this art isn't just the resin; it is the 3-4 week dehydration journey your flowers take first. I use specialized silica sand to carefully draw out moisture while keeping the petal structure and color intact. If I rush this step or skip the silica process, the flowers turn brown and the resin won't cure correctly. That patience is exactly why your varmala or bridal bouquet looks fresh for years, not just days.
Preservation is a mix of chemistry and sentiment. When I do a resin pour, it is not just about aesthetic; it is about ensuring the piece lasts. I use non-yellowing, multi-layer epoxy resin, which is crucial for maintaining that crystal-clear finish over time.
I won't lie—it is not always smooth sailing. Sometimes, resin sets too quickly in the cup, or the petals act stubborn. Those 'fails' are part of the process, but the moment of demoulding? That is the best part. Peeling back the mold to reveal a perfectly clear, glossy surface over a flower you wore on your wedding day is what keeps me doing this after 25 years.
Whether it is your wedding invitation, a varmala, or even a piece of jewellery, I treat every item like it is my own memory. Each piece is handmade right here in my Delhi studio, and I make sure it is sealed against time. If you have older flowers that have already dried, do not worry—I can work with those too. Let’s talk about how to turn your story into something you can hold.
