Bead Embroidery: A Gentle Urgency in Every Stitch


Embroidery is a deeply engaging and meditative craft — a dance of needle and thread that soothes the mind and sparks creativity. But when beads come into play, something magical happens. Their shimmer and texture elevate the simplest design into a tactile, visual story. ✨


This particular piece carries a message that feels especially resonant: “life won’t wait.” Each letter is carefully embroidered using deep purple beads, chosen for their quiet richness and depth. A single vintage button anchors the work, a small but deliberate focal point that ties together the sense of time passing and moments captured.


Bead by bead, stitch by stitch, this artwork becomes more than just decoration. It becomes a gentle but insistent reminder to pause, create, and live with intention — because life keeps moving forward, whether we’re ready or not.


Let your hands speak where words might falter, and let art become your voice. 💜🧵





Kalamkari Elephant Painting $135*

Jul 4th, 5th & 6th


Traditional Kalamkari, reimagined with a fresh palette

There’s something magical about taking centuries-old art forms and gently nudging them in new directions. Lately, I’ve found myself drawn to color experiments in my Kalamkari practice — exploring unexpected combinations, making quiet shifts, and asking those small but meaningful questions: “What if I tried this?” or “Maybe that shade instead?”


It’s a process full of curiosity and discovery. Each brushstroke feels like a conversation between tradition and imagination. This particular piece, featuring a Kalamkari elephant, is still a work in progress — part 2 is on the way, and I can’t wait to see where it goes.


An invitation to create your own twist on tradition


If this resonates with you, I’d love to share the journey. I’m hosting a hands-on workshop where we’ll explore Kalamkari together. You don’t need to be an expert — just bring your creativity, openness, and willingness to experiment.

We’ll paint a Kalamkari elephant, blending classic motifs with your personal color choices. Think of it as a meeting point between heritage and your unique vision. It’s about honoring the past while making space for your own story on canvas.


Whether you stick to earth tones or break away with vibrant hues, you’re invited to get bold, get playful, and let your art speak in your voice.

Tradition meets imagination — let’s see where your colors take you!
