Diwali happiness!

Hey friends :)

Diwali is near and I'm very happy as I had got a big diwali gift order for my hand-crafted sling tote bags!

It has been a pre-order from a lady who is a birder and wanted eco-friendly bags to gift her folks in this beautiful occasion. She found me from Facebook. :)

It took me around a month to work on this huge order and I worked really hard towards it. A happy customer is all I want! Sharing some pictures from my work!!

Paper bags I made outta envelopes!

More!

KIngfishers

Flycatchers

Hey Friends!

As an Artist into new business, today I'm sharing some of my craft works. 
Basically I'm creating these products and selling them through my facebook, personal contacts, exhibitions and now would be getting online on a website too!

I'm open to orders in India!

My Birdy tee! The bird is called 'Bluethroat'

There was a big logo on tee which was no more required so I used a bird painting and attached on it.

A dedicated lady wild-lifer had ordered these particular bird paintings to attach on her clothing. These can be very well cropped till edges as in my tee.

And these are some of my and my people's favorite hand-painted earthy bags! These easily hold A4 size stuff and a lot more. Very much washable and looks well with any wear! :) 

Will post some sarees in the next post :-)

Back with my 'Tote Bags' !

Hey friends,
Sorry for being absent from blog. I actually got involved in a small business of my own and was busy setting it up. Finally got time to share all my adventures here. :-)

Besides being a photographer, I started a proper business outta my interests of sewing and painting; when a city bookstore gave me a chance to exhibit my hand-painted bags! They are Walking BookFairs. They have a neat little space which is a book store plus an open hangout place. They travel across in a van full of books to spread the word of reading habit. Read more - here! 

So they had this 'Book Mandi' coming up i.e. a flea market kind of event for a week. I decided to make and put up my bags there for sale, which I already make since a long time for myself. It was time to make more and promote myself as an artist and entrepreneur. An experiment to see how things go and I wasn't expecting much. :)

Fortunately, luckily, and with the love of my family and friends It worked out. My friends loved it. They came, they bought my bags, ordered and were happy with my initiative :) Special thanks to the Walking BookFair guys, for without them it wouldn't have been possible. You see one needs a charger to get things done. That was this! I'm happy :)

I had another event after that, will share the experience in next post :)
