About Behind the Art & Your Kind Words
Preserving a memory is a quiet, deliberate process. Whether it is your wedding varmala or a pet’s memento, I start by dehydrating your items in my studio to retain their original color and structure. This stage takes about 3 to 7 days, followed by a multi-layer resin pour that cures over two to three weeks. Because I handle everything personally in my Thane studio, we will spend time discussing your design before I ever start the cast.
When I started The Craft of Living five years ago, it began as a small idea with just two hands and a lot of patience. I realized quickly that resin art is not just about aesthetics; it is about the responsibility of holding someone's history.
Why the Process Matters
Resin is unpredictable. It requires a specific environment, precise ratios, and time to cure correctly. I do not rush my pours. By taking the time to layer the resin over several weeks, I ensure that your flowers or keepsakes are suspended perfectly without burning or discoloration. This is why I am so grateful to my clients for their trust—they understand that great art cannot be hurried.
From My Studio to Your Home
Every box I pack for shipping across India contains a piece of my journey. Whether I am making a large 14-inch clock or a small keychain, the attention to detail remains the same. I want you to open your package and feel the same emotion you felt on the day these flowers were fresh or that moment you first held your keepsake.
Client Feedback as My Compass
Reading your messages—whether it is a 5-star Google review or a simple WhatsApp text saying 'it’s truly beautiful'—is what keeps me going. These reviews are not just vanity metrics; they are proof that I am succeeding in my goal to give your memories a forever home. If you are looking to preserve a special day, I am here to help you turn those fleeting emotions into something that lasts a lifetime.
