Quilled bracelet

Hello All,

Long ago, when meg pointed out that I ought to try quilled charm bracelet, the idea planted itself firmly in my mind. I had thought about it earlier too, but sometimes, it takes a friend to post a challenge in your head. After a long long time,I finally had the time to try one out and I must admit, I am in love with it. All the women out there who have daughter 10-12 yrs old, here is a treat for your princesses! :) I dedicate it to Meg and to Baba (who will always be that wide eyed 5 yr old for me) :)

All the charms are properly water-proofed, a practical and fun bracelet :)

Happy Quilling

Quilled Logo - Mansi's Craftstation

Hello All,

I can't believe that in the middle of the Diwali rush of exhibitions, I managed to pull off a major project. I know I am posting it very late but then, Diwali was MAD this time! I travelled so much, met so many people I hadn't met in years and years! :)

When this order came my way, I was kind of wary about taking it up as it landed bang in the middle of our Diwali preparations at Aadyaa. But well, a challenge is always welcome at Aadyaa! We revel in them! :) So, here goes the logo for Mansi's Craftstation.........

It is so rewarding to hear from your client, "whoever looked at it couldn't take their eyes off it"! Thanks so much for this order dear Vaishali! :) It was a sheer pleasure to meet the time challenge :) Hope the recipient of the piece likes it too :)

Happy Quilling
