My Journey: The Heart and Hands Behind Hues of Memories

Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Swati, the artist behind Hues of Memories. Art became my therapy after an accident, and now I make and sell handmade products, teach workshops, and share my journey with you.

When I left my job to pursue this full-time, my parents were unsure. But seeing my passion, they became my biggest supporters. Now, I am working hard to build a business my father can be a part of when he retires.

Juggling being a small business owner, a mom, and a homemaker can be overwhelming. Self-doubt creeps in, but I am determined to show up every day and build my dream life, one step at a time.

My journey started with a simple idea to add candles to my eco-resin jars. This video shares my story of learning through trial and error, a process that reignited my passion and is something I share openly in my workshops.

Here is a precious moment caught on camera. Sharing the magic of demolding with my son. His "wow" reaction is my favorite part, and he even makes me smell the piece as if it is a candle.

This is a review of my business for the month of July. I believe in being transparent, and I am deeply thankful for every single order and workshop participant that supports my small business.

Namaste. This video shows me fulfilling a custom order I received at a stall. It also tells the story of how I found a local vendor for my stickers, which helped reduce my costs and waiting time. These small wins are so important.

Here are five reasons why I love running my small business. It lets me unleash my creativity, build personal connections with customers, and gives me the flexibility to live a balanced and fulfilling life.

This video shows my life as an artist and a mom. It is an anxious yet ambitious journey, but I am so grateful to be able to juggle it all.
