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 :)

Jewellery Making Workshop - April 20

Hello All,

After almost 7 hours of jewellery-making, laughing, talking, and eating, the jewellery making workshop turned out to be one of the best we've had so far :) Here are some of the moments from the workshop....

Vandana and Aparna, terribly busy.....

Richa Battles a mosquito as Krithika wipes her brow :D

Busy at work.....

Really busy.....

And a light Cornetto moment during the lunch break :)

Aparna is busy creating a stash

Divleen is almost completely in love with whites and reds.....

Shalini is all purple today :)

Divleen's beautiful turquoise set :)

We make everyone focus, focus and focus

Krithika's Roohafza is waiting as she works with her wires and beads

Work on, full flow

Vandana's Focus was contagious

Krithika with her "blues" ;)

Working with seed beads is no easy task

Divleen makes a neat stash!

Exuberant SHalini Bhatia's smile catches on!

Aparna ditches the offer to be dropped in favour of finishing her jewellery :)

All smiles Vandana :)

And all smiles Krithika

THe pretty pretty Manasa

And that's all of us :)

Off to Singapore.........

Hello All,

When an e-mail from someone completely unknown to us comes by, requesting a customized product, we squeal in delight. This time, the order came in from Singapore. Sharon was kind enough to give us as much leeway as a client could possibly provide :)

Here are the results, a name plate for her house.......thanks a million Sharon

Some close-ups :)

And some work-in-progress photos.........

Putting our heads together

Hello All,

Art'zire extends a really warm welcome to our new crew member - Divleen Hundal, who has added so much value to our team that we are glad we found her! Don't believe us? Just take a look at what she does with paper! :)

And now, we leave you to decide for yourself.......

2014 Begins!

Hello All,

This is a year we eagerly looked forward to! We start afresh, in a new place..........Bangalore!

The year is off to a great start honestly! A workshop always brings such unparalleled joy to us! We got to create some fantabulous pieces (and orders are raining!)...............thank you every single one of you, who believed in us. Yes, we are human, yes we committed errors. But we are human! We will learn, improve and make sure your experience with us is a personal and pleasant one!

Here are some of the highlights of Art'zire for the year 2014, so far! :)

And some snippets from our maiden workshop in Bangalore :)

Thank you everyone and we hope for encouragement in Future too :)

Looking forward to be of service 

Art'zire
