I seal each one with several coats of water-resistant varnish to ensure they last, but please keep in mind they are for indoor display only. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all you need to keep them looking fresh. When I create these handmade pieces, the process is as important as the final look. For my bookmarks, I rely on 300 GSM artist-grade cardstock and Sakura Micron archival inks. I avoid digital printing for these because the flow of ink on paper feels like a form of meditation. Each bookmark is finished with a light fixative spray to prevent smudging and comes with a hand-tied ribbon tassel, making them sturdy enough for daily use in any book. ### Why Handmade Matters My work often embraces the small, beautiful imperfections that happen when you draw by hand. Whether it is a slight variation in a mandala line or the texture of a decoupage bottle, these details are what make a piece yours. I combine traditional Indian folk motifs with a modern, meditative approach, turning everyday objects into small reminders of calm. ### Care & Use - **Bookmarks:** These are standard 2x6 inch sizes. They are sealed, but try to keep them away from direct water splashes. - **Decoupage Bottles:** These are designed as aesthetic vases or table accents. While the varnish provides durability, they are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water. - **Art Prints:** If you choose my fine art prints, they are printed on 250-300 GSM textured paper to replicate the look of original hand-painted work. These arrive rolled in heavy-duty tubes for maximum protection during shipping. ## About Ankita Swaroopa I’m Ankita. When things get loud, I turn to ink and paper.
