About this collection
When I design a custom caricature or a vintage glass frame, I don't use stock templates. I start by asking for the specific photos and the relationship dynamic you want to highlight, then I arrange the layout, floral elements, and text cutouts manually. This means every piece—whether it is a fan tribute or a birthday gift—looks completely different because it is built around your specific memories and theme.
My Approach to Unique Gifting
Every item in this collection starts as a raw idea. I enjoy the challenge of making things that people haven't seen before, which is why I often work on projects like caricatures for celebrity fan clubs or vintage glass frames for anniversaries. Since I handle the design and assembly myself from my Mumbai studio, I can adjust the finer details—like the colour of the thread-work or the specific style of paper-cut fonts—to fit your vision.
How We Create Your Piece
- Your Input: You share the occasion, the vibe, and the photos. If you have a reference image, send it over.
- The Design: I select the base materials. For frames, this involves choosing between fiber or synthetic wood and deciding on the glass or acrylic front.
- The Crafting: This is where the magic happens. I layer photos, add 3D embellishments like paper flowers or evil eye charms, and ensure the structural integrity of the piece.
- Secure Shipping: I pack every gift with bubble wrap and sturdy fillers to ensure it reaches you anywhere in India without damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I order a celebrity caricature? Yes, I specialize in fan-gifting. While I cannot guarantee a response from the celebrity, I ensure the gift itself is high-quality and heartfelt.
- What about the materials? I use a mix of durable synthetic wood for frames and high-quality cardstock for scrapbooks, ensuring your gifts last.
- How do we finalize the design? Once we confirm your budget and theme via chat, I start the build. I keep you updated during the process.
