Pen Clips
This piece is an inspiration from a picture sent to me by Shubha ji. I challenged myself to do it as it was a very functional product. Some designs work out to be so difficult that mid-way you feel like abandoning them but then I am not one of those who gives-up easily. I kept re-doing it till I succeeded, and it was a tremendous boost to my confidence! Six months, 4 people, 12 sheets of steel and 8 dies led to a beautiful pen holder.
Many of us carry journals and notebooks and find it a problem to keep a pen around. This may come handy!

Vintage Travel Journals
Whenever I travel, I keep my eyes open to observe and absorb everything that’s around. From the architecture to the walls, clothes to local flavours, in our subconscious we keep these impressions and for me these 
turnout to be inspirations for future ranges of products. On one of my trips I met a person who was into old documents, stamps and papers and an Idea was born. I sat with him and picked-up everything that he had. I often pick-up more than I need but when the ranges are ready; I end-up running short of these materials. I did the same with old maps and now I have exhausted all of them. Ideas can strike you anytime therefore are we ready? This happens very often with me and fate brings me to these very people who
have helped me take out ranges like Travel Journals with old maps, Journals with old Indian stamp papers, vintage newsprint, etc.
While working on this range, I came across some really interesting documents, stamps and papers; these I have kept for my collection. Going through all of them was like re-visiting history.
This is a range of exquisitely bound and hand-stitched journals. The spine is in raw-silk and the covers are made from old and authentic papers, documents, postage and revenue stamps from pre-independence British India, dating across 1870-1946. All the documents were hand-written in Urdu, Hindi and other Indian languages.

Jewelry in metal inspired by quilling
I present to you my nouveau range of Jewelry inspired by a quilled range that was done earlier in paper. Lately I have been obsessed with metal; namely brass and its led me to design a plethora of creative objects of which many have been featured in my earlier posts. 
For a self-taught designer it is important to explore all mediums, I have given paper a decade now and its time to experiment with others. In metal I am on the look-out for new techniques and designs. Jewelry has been on my radar since some time and patiently I have waited for the right designs and the right time.
These pieces in this range have been hammered from strips of metal and are like a spring coil if you push them from below. It has a matt finish with no coating whatsoever. I have wanted to highlight the natural tarnishing that occurs in brass with the advent of time. These are available in a limited edition of 99 pcs and each set comes individually packed in boxes. Total length of strips used : 128 inches
