Preserving Your Precious Memories in Custom Resin
Your child's first toys, wedding flowers, or sentimental trinkets deserve more than a cardboard box. I turn these fleeting moments into durable, functional resin art so you can keep the story alive forever.
For this Marvel-themed birthday chair, I created a custom silicone mold for the letter 'A' to match the Avengers logo. It's these small, personal touches that turn a simple idea into something truly special and meaningful for a child.
In my custom mold workshop, you'll learn how to preserve delicate items like wedding flowers. This video shows the process of creating custom hexagonal molds and carefully arranging dried flowers to make a beautiful set of coasters, a perfect way to treasure special memories.
A little behind-the-scenes chaos and masti in the studio! We're working on a super fun piece that involves a whole lot of candy. The joy and playfulness of childhood are a huge inspiration for my memorabilia art.
This feature in Womenpreneur India beautifully captures my mission of crafting childhood memories into sustainable art. It tells the story of how I transform forgotten playthings and nostalgia into functional, eco-conscious resin furniture.
This article sums up my journey from finance to a full-time artist, driven by maternal inspiration. It highlights how my work is about more than just furniture; it's about preserving stories, joy, and the spirit of childhood in each handcrafted piece.
About Preserving Memories: Your Stories in Resin
Preservation isn't just about pouring resin over an object. It is about rigorous preparation—drying flowers to retain their natural color or sealing porous toys so they do not trap air and cause bubbles. Before we start, I need to know the history of your specific item so I can select the correct casting method to keep your keepsake clear and protected for years.
When you bring me something to preserve, you are not just bringing me 'stuff.' You are handing over a wedding bouquet, a child’s first rattle, or jewelry that meant the world to your grandmother. My process is deeply personal because the items are irreplaceable.
Why Professional Preservation Matters
Resin is sensitive material. If flowers are not dehydrated correctly, they will turn brown or rot within the casting. If metal toys or plastic figures are not properly sealed, they can cause chemical reactions or air pockets. I use professional-grade, UV-resistant epoxy that prevents yellowing over time. This is not a quick hobby-grade pour; it is a measured, technical process to ensure your memory remains vivid.
What We Can Preserve
- Bridal Florals: Wedding bouquets, pheras flowers, or varmalas.
- Childhood Trinkets: First shoes, teethers, or favorite action figures.
- Sentimental Heirlooms: Love letters, handwritten notes, or small tokens.
The Reality Check
Resin has limits. Large, water-heavy items require a different approach than dry, inert objects. During our consultation, we will discuss what can be encapsulated and the best shape—a paperweight, a serving tray, or a decorative frame—to showcase your story. My goal is to create a piece that does not just sit on a shelf gathering dust, but functions as a part of your daily life.
If you have an idea that seems a bit wild, like embedding a collection of candies or specific Avengers toys, let us talk. I love a good jugad to make the impossible happen.
