About Handmade with Love: My Process
You see a finished coaster, but I see the chaotic pile of yarn that started it all. Every piece I make involves hours of patient, rhythmic knotting, and that is where the magic happens. It isn't just about the final look; it is about the love and attention I pour into every single string.
When you order a piece from me, you are getting something truly handmade. I use 100% natural cotton yarn, and I knot it all myself right here in my Delhi studio. There are no machines involved, just a bamboo stick, some yarn, and a whole lot of patience.
My process is as much about the journey as it is the destination. Take the 'DNA wala design'—my daughter gave it that name, and it stuck because it is exactly what it looks like. These little details are why I love this work. Whether I am crafting a nameplate for a nursery or a simple plant hanger, I am thinking about how it will look in your home.
I share this behind-the-scenes view because I want you to know exactly what you are paying for: time, effort, and care. Macrame is slow, but that is the beauty of it. If you want to customize a piece with specific colors or add a personal touch like a name or date, just let me know. I love a creative challenge and enjoy working with you to bring your ideas to life.
