Cuteness overload - Overnight - Literally............

Hello All,

When this order landed in our kitty, we were already hard-pressed for time! The time was less, the order elaborate and criteria, almost limiting........

But well, a challenge or two is fodder for our creativity............so, we set off on this journey. Just shy of banning of Rs. 500 and 1000 notes, we purchased the steel glasses (Thank God!) and started! And within less than 24 hours (and a sleepless night), we had the glasses going.............just so a little boy can have his birthday return gifts by Sunday!

 Happy drinking in customized glasses :D

An ode to a relationship

Hello All,

We take to writing after a long time..........and take to it with a beautiful thing to announce. A1 Craft Supply has been our choice of suppliers for a whole host of craft material, for quite some time now. Reason? Simple! We are into customization big time and A1 are the only suppliers who bend backwards to get us our quirky requirements to us, in time, every time............don't believe us? See the Jodha jhumkas........they had no idea what we were going to do with such small half pearls but they put their faith in us and searched Heaven and Earth to look for what we wanted. We needn't tell you that Jodhas turned out to be our most popular ever series of jewellery...........

So, when A1 placed and order with us, we got going AND loved doing it. Here comes our version of their logo.........

Some work-in-progress pictures too..........

Sending our heartfelt gratitude to A1 Craft Supply, in the form of the skills we can pour into their order :)

Bead Soutache - Art'zire take.........

Hello All,

Bead soutache is a jewellery form that has fascinated Art'zire for a while, so we decided to develop our own version of it, thanks to the unavailability of soutache cords in India........

For the curious ones, the soutache type jewellery we made looks like this:

And don't let that complexity scare you! These are rather simple to make..........don't believe us? Here is the video tutorial for it :)
