We chat about the size, the specific Marathi or English text you want, and the finish—whether you need a wall frame for your living room or a compact piece for your desk. It is all about making sure the decor fits your space exactly as you imagined. I started Novel Ideas to bring a piece of our culture into modern homes. This collection is where I put some of my most distinct designs, from the Marathi months calendar that helps keep our traditions alive, to 'Suswagatam' welcome boards that greet your guests with warmth. Most of these pieces, like my Evil Eye hangings or the 'Vadani Kaval' wall art, are born from requests I get from you. If you see something you like but need it in a different size or with a specific quote, just let me know. - **Marathi Months Calendar:** This is one of my personal favorites. It breaks down the twelve months with 3D icons, making it an educational yet beautiful addition to any wall or desk. You can get it as a tabletop piece or a framed wall mount. - **Welcome Boards:** I paint these on MDF bases using bright, cheerful colors. They are designed to last and bring a smile to anyone walking through your door. - **Customization:** Because I make everything in my Borivali studio, I can tweak almost anything. Whether it is a gift for a housewarming in Boston or a specific magnet set for your kitchen in Mumbai, we will figure it out together. If you want something specific, just reach out and we can start planning. ## About Novel Ideas by Anila Namaskar, I am Anila!
