My Journey: 5 Years of Hand-Engraving Artistry

People often ask if I use machines to get those perfect swirls on glass and metal, but every stroke you see is hand-carved with my rotary tool. This is not just about engraving a name, it is about the slight variations in pressure and depth that only a human hand can create, ensuring no two pieces are ever identical.

Five years ago, I started Quill on Paper as a quiet escape from my screen. It began as a small experiment, but it quickly transformed into my core identity. When you look at my work, you are seeing a mix of gratitude, hustle, and a bit of chaos that I have navigated daily since 2020.

My process is tactile. Whether I am working on a perfume bottle for a wedding gift or etching a logo onto a corporate tumbler, I use a rotary tool to manually carve every curve. This means I can adjust to the material, whether it is glass, steel, wood, or even terracotta, to ensure the final result feels personal rather than mass-produced.

I love working in different scripts, from English and Bengali to Arabic. If I can trace it, I can engrave it. My goal is to make every item something you feel in your heart, or as I like to say, marakkuma nenjam (my heart won't forget).

I am based in Bengaluru, but I travel across India for live engraving events. Whether it is an intimate anniversary gift or a large-scale brand activation, I bring the same focus to the detail. I invite you to reach out so we can turn your everyday objects into something you will keep forever.
