"It's not time that is passing by, It is you and I."- Ruskin Bond

Do you know that we are in a constant state of metamorphosis? As time melts away unconsciously our perspectives change, out thoughts change, every little thing transforms...so 'change' is an incredible concept altogether.

After a sudden gush of late autumn shower, lost in the fragrance of wet earth  and with words of Ruskin Bond echoing in our heart, we tried to bring some change to a lump of clay lying around, tried to thoughtfully mould it into sensuous and exquisite pendants.

Slices of peace...

Theme: Lines and Intersections
The theme is gathered from our own life. The fine lines interweaving each other represent human life with its mundane trivialities which only hopes for a change...

Close up of the lines. Sometimes geometric, sometimes irregular...

Colour:
And we have chosen some soothing shades to complete the entire neck-piece. Soft touches of blue and brown is given to enhance it's elegance.

Hints of Iron and Cobalt oxides were used..

Still the base has been kept unchanged, it has remained the humble earthy. Because one idea reverberates within us that inspite of all changes, the ethos should not get erased from our heart...

See the entire collection here.!!

As we travel through the varied contours of our life, we nurture some profound bonds or friendships, you may well treat them as elixirs as they have the potent to keep you heartily alive. But have you ever thought of naming a friendship- bestowing upon it a sense of freedom?!

There was an intriguing camaraderie shared by some art lovers and they fondly entitled it as 'Lavender'..! 'Lavender- Imaginations beyond...'

No! The name of these constellation of creative spirits were not chosen randomly. It emerged from an abiding memory of my friend, Rajendrani. And I would like to bring forth snippets of that lingering conversation where she poured out her heart to us..
".....the whiff of mountain air pervaded my nostrils, crept into my blood as we escaped to the calm and pristine Bhutan...amidst the breathtaking vista of azure blue sky, powder-white hovering clouds and hills hugging each other I found a handful of Jacaranda trees in front of Punakha Dzong...there awe-inspiring rich hues I can still envision...it was lavender, a mesmerizing, exhilarating shade of bluish purple..."

And that was her tryst with 'Lavender'! Hence, we embarked on our journey with hearts full of imagination and eyes filled with wander..

At the far recess of our heart lie some thoughts which crave for identity.  And often do we wonder how to give them a frame. They need manifestation, an explicit expression for which we invite you to the overtures of 'Lavender'.

Our identification

Each and every piece of our art descends from the womb of our imagination and bespeaks a story. They all are unrestrained expressions of passion that throbs deep within!

"Though it's 'lavender' it has myriad shades..it carries with itself shades of 'purity', 'innocence', and 'devotion', devotion to your true state! It is a graceful journey to find stories unheard. We conjure up each item gathering inspirations from real life. At times it feels that our efforts measure up to the ardour of a wanderer in the unfathomable sea in search of Polaris...", in the words of Swagata.

The entrance of our Studio... We welcome you with a slice of nature.

So come, nourish 'Lavender' with the creative energies latent inside you. Do not hesitate to vent out your unparallel ideas and mould them into cherishable souvenirs of this odyssey. It offers a platform to all introverts like us to be fearless with their dreams and your hobbies to gain a pedestal!

Come in touch with us to delve deep into the joy of creation and be a part of 'Lavender'. The warm folds of this bond will definitely enrich your soul..

Hope you would like to meet your most amicable team mates and join hands with them.
