The Heart Behind My Slow-Made Art
Step into my studio. This is where patience meets resin, and where your memories find their form, one petal at a time.
Meet the team. It's me, the one-woman jewelry show, wearing all the hats. And of course, my husband, the investor and free labor who makes this dream possible.
A glimpse of a day in my life. Two years ago, I couldn't have imagined that my hobby could turn into a business. I'm so grateful for all your love and support.
The simplest moments are often the most calming. Here I am collecting fresh blooms and pressing them. This slow process is the heart of everything I create.
Hours of work, captured in 30 seconds. This is just a glimpse of the time, care, and heart that goes into every handmade piece, from designing and sourcing to curing and polishing.
Pour therapy. There's something so satisfying and therapeutic about pouring resin, whether it's for glittery keychains or a special wedding frame.
The satisfying moment of unmolding. Here, I'm revealing the beautiful pieces that will soon become botanical keychains. So much work comes next, but this moment is pure magic.
Safety first. It's so important to wear a mask when drilling resin to protect from dust. Here's a look at me assembling the keychains after drilling.
Let's pack the keychains we just made. Good packaging is so important to protect the creations and create a beautiful unboxing experience for you.
Reel vs. Real. Sometimes, weeding these tiny vinyl stickers for personalization is a struggle, but it gives me the freedom to experiment and make each piece perfect.
When clients keep coming back for more, it's the biggest compliment. It means they felt the emotion and trust me with their memories again. This is why I pour my heart into every piece.
About My Process: The Heart Behind the Art
Many wonder why custom resin work takes time. The truth is, resin art cannot be rushed. I pour, cure, and sand every piece in layers, checking for bubbles and ensuring the finish is smooth. When you see a wedding frame or a nameplate, you are seeing days of patience and careful attention to detail, not a mass-produced product.
Every piece begins with a conversation and ends with hours of quiet, focused work in my home studio. When you send me your wedding varmala or a beloved pet's memento, I start by dehydrating the flowers using silica gel, a process that takes 7 to 14 days to ensure they retain their shape and color before they ever touch the resin.
Once the drying is complete, the pouring begins. I work with high-gloss epoxy, pouring in thin layers to avoid trapped air and ensuring a crystal-clear finish. It is a slow, methodical process. I wear safety gear to protect against resin dust while drilling and finishing, because safety and quality go hand in hand. Even the packaging is done by hand—I believe that the unboxing experience should be just as thoughtful as the piece inside.
Because I am a one-woman team, I limit the number of orders I take each month. This ensures I can give your project the time it deserves without rushing. Whether you are in Bengaluru or across India, I want your keepsake to be something you can hold onto for years. If you are looking for something that is not just an item, but a story captured in resin, I am here to help you bring that vision to life.
