Before any piece reaches you, I spend days dehydrating your flowers using silica gel to keep them looking alive. I work in thin, slow layers—curing each one patiently—so your memento does not just look good today, but stays clear and strong for years to come. ### Behind the Scenes in My Thane Studio When you send me your wedding varmala, a lock of pet fur, or a special memento, you aren't just sending an item. You are trusting me with a memory. That is why I practice what I call 'slow-made' art. #### The Preservation Process * **Dehydration:** I do not air-dry your flowers. Instead, I use silica gel dehydration. This process is time-consuming but essential for retaining the 3D shape and natural vibrancy of your petals. * **Layering:** Resin doesn't like to be rushed. If I pour a massive block all at once, it can overheat and yellow. I pour in measured, thin layers, allowing each one to cure completely before adding the next. This prevents bubbles and ensures the crystal-clear finish you see in my gallery. * **Customization:** Whether it is embedding a photo, adding gold flakes, or hand-painting edges, this happens mid-process. It is why we chat so much before I start—I need to get your vision right before the resin touches your items. #### Why Reality Matters I believe in honesty. Natural elements like flowers or leaves might shift slightly in color or tone during the preservation process. It is part of the organic reality of working with real botanical items. My job is to protect them, not to artificially alter them. When you receive your piece, you are holding something handcrafted, unique, and built to last. If you have questions about how a specific material of yours might behave, feel free to ask. ## About The Craft of Living by Prerna I’m Prerna, and my studio in Thane is where I spend my days turning fleeting moments into permanent keepsakes.
