NANDITHA KARUMBAIAH, HAND CRAFTED WITH LOVE

Handcrafted with Love, the name says it all. Meet Nanditha Karumbaiah, who transforms everyday objects into exquisite pieces using an art form called paper decoupage. Decoupage finds its origin in France and means to artistically decorate something by gluing pieces of paper on the surface of an object and coating it with several layers of varnish, until the finished product looks like it is painted on. Sounds very simple, but mind you, it is a tedious process requiring immense amount of patience and skill. Both of which, Nanditha has in abundance.

Nanditha, first started quilling and then decided to broaden her creative space. That is when she discovered paper decoupage and fell completely in love with the creative freedom it gave her to take the dullest of everyday things and convert it into works of art! It is now two years since she started and there are many who have come to appreciate her craft. Currently, Nanditha uses her talent on magazine holders, jewellery boxes, wall plates, tissue holders, etc. and soon plans to venture into decoupage furniture and other products. Feast your eyes on some of her creations and I am sure you will agree that each piece was indeed handcrafted with love.
