Greetings!

This month I am pleased to share my pop-up webshop of small batch handmade creations! If you have patiently followed along for the past year (so happy to have you here <3) then you probably had a peek in the summer and fall! As I walked on the path of discovery through cryptoart, I also walked the handmade identity and how to become a smallshop owner. It was really important I could manage from my remote location as one. 👼

I started with all kinds of things in the beginning until I decided to focus on a few designs that made me happy! And now, hopefully you, too! I did everything! I studied the design, product tested, reconfigured, and timed each step of the process over and over so I could be fast!

I present Groovy Ghazwan, the Giraffe and Tanka the Disco-T! These little friends may look familiar to those following my cryptoart journey and my collaboration this past February with contemporary Kashmiri Sufiana muscian group, Alif, and the piece created 007: voyage of milʦār ʦūⁿṭ kul. I was really happy about this collaboration and even happier to make new friends from the home-home. I love their music and starstruck when Mohammed agreed to do the piece! My favorite songs are Ride Home (recently nominated at Indian Music Awards) and Kya Karie Korimol. This cryptoart was one of the two selected for NFT Liverpool --my first international live art show! All I have is gratitude and a happy, full heart for this piece to be noticed and having made new poet friends in the process.

Groovy Ghazwan, the Giraffe

Tanka, the Disco-T

These original talisman designs have stories created to inspire intentions and energies of openheartedness! Sculpted with Kashmiri paper-mache varnish techniques and decorated in Naqashi-inspired motifs, each character is made with lots of joy and meditation. 😊

A single Groovy Ghazwan alone takes thirty-five minutes to create! I can’t wait for the day to arrive if I can do it in fifteen! This of course is eliminating the in-between drying times, though (days)!

My next two designs of the first drop are, Oopskii Blooms and Flower eyes! I love wearing these they make me happy and gas me up so good! I wear them whenever! In my pajamas or out in the sun! I can just feel them cheering me on, bobbling along in hopes to come upon happy coincidences!

Oopskii Blooms

Flower Eyes

Thank you again for all the love, patience, and friendships that supported me while I juggled my many interests and passions yet held steadfast to a vision. 🧑‍🔬

I’m grateful to have others join in my discovery of putting all the pieces together.
