Taking stock
Posted on September 10, 2012 by nisha in Craft, Featured, My projectsI know I’ve been out of blogging for a long time now. So much was happening that I had to take a break to reign in the chaos. Now that I am in control, I think I should get back to this favorite activity. More so because I am turning 30 in 4 days. Considering [...]

The Madhubani week…
Posted on July 25, 2012 by nisha in Craft, Learning, My projectsIt has been a rather hectic month. I spent the first part trying to figure out train tickets, accommodation and making boxes. Making boxes is not an easy task. All those tutorials on ehow and wikihow never expose you to the reality of explaining the same to the local carpenter. I had a tough time getting a [...]

Coffee on the cradle
Posted on May 14, 2012 by nisha in My projects, Old love, SpacesIt’s been a while since I’ve been dabbling with my restoration projects. As always, I’ve been scrounging the internet for details, instructions and ideas. The carpenter, the painter and everyone else who works with me are hounded with questions on the how, why and what-ifs. My first project the big comfortable swing turned out so well that [...]

Dining table, Madhubani style
Posted on March 29, 2012 by nisha in Craft, Living, My projects, SpacesThis one is atleast 6 months pending. I’ve always wanted a Japanese style sit down table. Memoirs of Geisha and Nabinkumar’s vist to Ahmedabad rekindled that desire and I set out to make one. I picked up wood from a saw mill, gave it to my carpenter (who by then was used to my quirky demands) [...]

Warli you can learn
Posted on March 21, 2012 by nisha in Craft, My projectsThere is a Warli painting workshop coming up in two weeks. And I am super excited. As a customer, I love the idea and wish more and more people would do this. As a marketeer, it helps me build a transparency with my customers. They know what they are buying, they know the person who [...]

Welcome the summer
Posted on February 10, 2012 by nisha in My projects, SeasonalA steaming cup of chai that warms the hand, the welcoming sunshine in the balcony, hot showers and soft comforters. I love the winters! It is sad that it is coming to an end. On the other hand, I think it’s time to gear up for the next season. However much I dread the heat [...]

In full Swing
Posted on January 25, 2012 by nisha in Living, My projects, Old love, SpacesI have spent entire summers waiting for 4 pm, the time when I was allowed to go to the park. The only thing that fascinated me there was the swing. I remember swinging for hours on end and reaching home with a dizzy head. I’ve done this every evening, all through the summer holidays. When [...]

Art for Worship
Posted on January 18, 2012 by nisha in Craft, Living, My projects, SpacesI know I should have waited for the final picture of the Pooja Room Door. Priya is away and it will take a painful whole week to see the installation. She has an housewarming Pooja at the end of the month and wanted the paintings only by then. I guess this is what happens when [...]

A childish idea…
Posted on November 30, 2011 by nisha in Living, My projectsI met a very interesting interior designer recently. She only designs schools, how cool! Vivacious and a colourful personality herself, this mother of two looks just the kind of person who would make the usually drab school environment ‘all happy and fun’. During our discussion, she was telling me about how ‘Mogli’ appeals to children [...]

Launch of our custom-made gifts!
Posted on November 24, 2011 by nisha in Craft, My projectsI’ve started taking custom gift orders. Actually, I figured that I could do this only when my friend Ashok asked me for something specific, something that was not a part of my existing range. Ashok wanted to gift something very special and thoughtful to a Buddhist friend. He wanted something unique, Indian, handcrafted, light-weight, easy [...]
