Past few months went super fast creating Soaps, Labels and Marketing for the Artisan Handcrafted Soaps - 'Dishoo'; my Dad started making . Pretty Creative family, am so thankful for such a blessing :-)

We are happy with the result of the Soaps and the labels, He had his first Collective show too in Toronto during christmas time.It was thrilling to see people admiring the soaps and buying them too.

Few flavours got compliments looking as cakes.Next label will have warning- please don't eat. ;-)

The Textile Design Lab: – “Tidal Beachcomber” Collections & Fashion Vignette

I have recently been taking up the Sellable sketch course at Textile Design Lab, which has been truly beneficial in my process of launching myself as a Freelance Print Designer.

At the same time I find the Chelsea's Challenge real fun to work on, these are monthly Design challenges where one gets to develop a whole collection of patterns. The forum consists of lovely bunch of designers who are motivational and helpful if one is stuck. Its just nice to have a different pair of eyes looking at one's work.

Last Month Challenge was about  WGSN story - 'Tidal Beachcomber'  and :-)
My work has been showcased among few other designers on their blog  woohoooo!!

.....its such a push to do more exciting work for my portfolio.

                         Came across the post being shared at Fashion Vignette too :-) chuffed

2015 CURIO : Shadow Box Show Group Exhibition @ARTiculations

Had a wonderful opportunity to take part in group exhibition with other 129 Artists, called 'Curio: Shadow Box Show. This is second exhibition of its kind for 'ARTiculations -THE EARL SELKIRK GALLERY' owned by two lovely people Heather & Miki along with dog Charlie.

Artists answered an open call for this fun exhibition and each received a small square shadow box with the only stipulation being that they respect the dimensions of the box. The results are an extensive collection of unique ‘cabinets of curiosity’ in simple uniform frames - ARTiculations

It was great to see such beautiful ideas come out of this exhibition, though i could manage to go for only short while for the preview; it was fun to see other Artists. Sharing few of the hurried pics of the display and my box :-) 

my box 'where i spilled colours' 

It took 3 attempts to put that forest of colours together , am really pleased with it.

The exhibition is on till DEC 21, 2015; so if you do visit let me know what you think.
