I was glad to have made it to the India Art Fair and give a slip to the frenzy that is the weekends. It surely felt more relaxed to take in all the art work and admire the ones I liked ... for the simple fact that I liked them for my personal reasons ... good point, I realize 'cause we are talking about art, here ... right?<br />
Like the pieces in the image above ... the earthy colours sure appeal ... but did love that feel of watching it through a fog and mist. It instantly reminded me ... that I have been wanting to do giant water colours for the longest no. of years and of course that statuesque doesn't look like is going to change anytime soon ... ;) ... but well I found my connection to this art piece.<br />

Walking the aisle's ... I can't help take in all the details that they put in the display's ... being an exhibition space designer ...I know, it looks fabulous all done ... but its a whole different ball game when you start with a blank canvas.<br />
every designer gets asked a lot ... 'I just can't visualize, art on my walls and so I am very scared to venture into buying an expensive piece' ... oh ! these venues are just the right place to start with your inspirations and also to put an end to any doubts about the place of art in your life and on your walls.<br />

... my daughter 's first question at looking at this image was ... 'sooo ... are those benches there as an art piece or are they there for what they are supposed to be for ...' :)) ... figure that darling, that all the reason we love art ... its an art show ... that's how lovely life in an art world is ... find your expression and reason and logic ... that is if at all you feel a feed for that last bit. </div>

Kshendranath Majumdar's, Krishna ... another heart stealing moment ... I love the resemblance of his work with Chugtai's.

Ramachandran's works ... always the kind that stop you in your step, until you give it a once over ... the green skin tone of his protagonist and the signature parrot ... yes it is a Ramachandran. A bad picture of a gorgeous work ... my bad ladies and gentleman... ;)<br />

oh ! was I fantasizing an art heist, :)) ... silly fantasies ... I tell you ... telling me in my head, how these classic pieces of unknown artists sure add into list of pieces I'd bag ... ;) </div>

I was recently invited by one of our customer's to come view this couple's personal collection of Indian art and a painting of Noorjahan ... had me ... I mean it really had me floored ... and after that to see these stunning works with all the detailing ... :) ... one sure feels proud of our art legacy and envy of the one who'd own such precious pieces of Indian art history.</div>

One of those pieces that garners long drawn conversations with many who throw at us how ... their little one can do it too ... infact, I hit upon just the right book at the book shop... 'about how your 4yr. old can't do it ... :) ... yes ... they can't ... Modern pieces of art ... I am available for a serious conversation on that ... at our store ... if ever you feel you cannot figure why they don't deserve the credit that they get.<br />
To every abstract artist out there ... hats off to you all ... and RESPECT ...<br />

This one too, I can bag and take home ... :) ... ok, so not all pichwai cut it for me ... the architectural ones sure allure me ... but pieces like this in black fabric, painted with natural pigments ... it sure sails my boat.<br />On that art heist front ... do they bag their pieces or carton them ... do they get porters before hand or muscle power it themselves ... wee ... the more I think of it ... more it looks physical challenge could be stumbling block ... more then anything else ... ;))</div>

And surely with the scale of my working with colours and textures having gone up so drastically ... I am not enjoying what used to feel so inviting ... I need to decompress when it comes to colour ... I think simplify the lines ... bring in more Zen feeling ... less complicated. Yup! tall order ... for myself.<br />
All my walls are so ready for some freshness ... there are tell tale signs of the fav. doggie rubbing spots ... rather obviously visible in tones of black and grimme ... the upholstery and tapestries are all telling their tales ... :) And those questioning smirks from fellow members of this household are getting the point across to me ... loud and clear.<br />

Recently, I had fun co-ordinating for a customer ... our different table linen pieces. That is actually how I conceptualize my designs on the drawing board. Our this collection was in turquoise and fuscia ... guess I wanted to go summer casual. But pairing them with our antique finish votives and hurricane's ... we went down that very exciting road to eclectic style.<br />

This has been so exciting ... not just for all the creative energy that flows in the store on such days ... but getting our customers to feel like kids in a candy store is doubly gratifying ... :)<br />
We do hope to add more eclectic ideas to our range and help you create a perennial source of creative ideas for you.<br />
As always ... I feel so humbled and at the same time indebted to our customers who come in and in no time feel like we've been friends for ever ... perks of my job I guess ... :)<br />

Its sultry and no fun weather here in North India ... as much as my heart yearns for the mountains and I am sure I can survive on a diet of peaches ... plums and apricots ... annnd ... may be some potatoes and beans ... ;)<br />
For some wordly wise reason I am here ... all ... muggy ... hot and bothered. With no sign of loosing even a ounce of calories for all this suffering ... ;)<br />
The only saving grace is all the excitement brewing at the store. We do have a lovely event coming up. And I look forward to sharing all about it with you all real soon. Hope you do stay tuned for our next post ... and love it as much as I am enjoying working on this event ... :)<br />
As for all my readers in Mumbai ... ;) ... ahmmm ... not sure what's worse my hot and bothersome weather or yours ... walking around in soggy socks monsoon ... :)<br />
Have a great day folks ... no matter what weather you are enjoying ... monsoon's ... heatwave or hail storm ... ;)<br /><br />

It thrills me no end when artists ... artisans ... master craftsmen and designers reach out to explore new projects with us.Our first tryst with shooting jewellry ... and yes, we are cooking a special something ... that we hope to share in a few weeks time.This particular shoot took us two days ... oh ! yes ... I learnt my lesson about gems and jewelry and that slightest shift of light ... ;) Have been shooting homes and home accents since 1999 ... but jewelry is so much of interest packed in so tiny an area that it is unbelievable how light can throw all your plans for a toss. Especially for photographers like me who love to shoot in natural light.<br />
Hope I have you intrigued enough to look forward to this interesting shoot and even more interesting story of the designer ...coming soon.<br />

At Rajee Sood Home ... we are always building on interesting stories that our customers share with us. Styling with our products has always earned us happy feedback.<br />Studio Fiore ... all the way from Roorkee adds another lovely story to our repertoire.<br />

Interesting details from this very glamourous renovation project undertaken by the Studio Fiore team. Seen in the image are the woven linen throw cushions from our newest Summer range ... along with our cutsie - tootsie owls in distress finish ... the ammonite replica in wood ... adding so much character to this classy space.<br />
Truly appreciate their sharing these lovely pictures with us. Look forward to a long and interesting design journey with yet another design studio. May the tribe grow.<br />

Trying out some new designs and combinations at home ... before we start work on a new collection.<br />

A hot mug of coffee ... deep contemplation's ... and suddenly it is sinking in ... my own home is way overdue for a fresh look. Another challenge ... cause there isn't a more difficult project then your own space. Nothing more challenging then pleasing your own family.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is always exciting to think of a redo ... but soooo ... challenging to imagine all your collections from a new perspective.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1vLROaoBle0ZbZ-ENuozrzEYqCgpJ6XLbyFqkux8TJmgO_CcrAxp8T4p3BPeR-8Hc66s1MhpNyxCpCfUUGM_7sP27skG3OgerPhib6ebst08BJH4qzcneJutuP7atAA1aS_nC3wz2m8/s1600/20190517_123604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1vLROaoBle0ZbZ-ENuozrzEYqCgpJ6XLbyFqkux8TJmgO_CcrAxp8T4p3BPeR-8Hc66s1MhpNyxCpCfUUGM_7sP27skG3OgerPhib6ebst08BJH4qzcneJutuP7atAA1aS_nC3wz2m8/s640/20190517_123604.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
So whenever ... it is that the renovations begin ... I know one thing for sure ... its time to create a neutral palate to come home to. The space I can come back to recharge ... can no longer be the reflections of the colours I work with all day.<br />
Not sure if you have this situation in your life too ... but we interior designers sure have this funny predicament. And each deals with it in their own unique way.<br />
... :)<br /></div>

The task to create a focus for every product and design. Makes exhibition space design daunting to challenging and finally after the entire gamut of emotions ... its very thrilling. International Trade Fair is always a treat for designers. Designing at such a platform even more refreshing.<br />
And now it is back to designing at our boutique store. It is summer time and we are at our design boards ... working on new collections ... new ideas ... and daring to dream bigger dreams... :)<br />

Growing up close to nature ... I realise now ... my subconscious craves to see the seasons change.While just a few miles out of the city the mustard fields are burgeoning with yellow colour blossoms... that sway in the gentle breeze ... under the soft winter sun rays. Yess ... yesssss ... nostalgic much ... :))<br />

Call him the prince of Chintz ... or the legendery Interior Designer ... either way his signature style is something that leaves an impression on anyone studying the art of Interior Design. For me its been more then 20 yrs ... but it feels like just like yesterday ... sitting in my design school library and going through his books and books about his works ... it was always awe inspiring. Yes, it was intriguing... how a man could have a style so subtle. Sure his love for Chintz is not miss able ... but his use of the colour and details was just as amazing.<br />His demise sure leaves a void.<br /><br /></div>

A collection of pieces that talk about the gypsy tribes that migrated over centuries ... in regions ranging from central asia to the costs of the gulf of Kutch. Today the political boundaries separate them ... but their cultural practises and lifestyle still has faint and nostalgic strings attached to their past. And who knows it be our past as well ... all of us who come from this region at some geographical point or the other.</div>

Their are a few similar stitches ... in pieces that may be from Kutch and then a few from Central Asia ... the selection of bright colours ... at times almost neonish is uncannily similar.<br />
The tassels that come from kuch had more felt like pompoms ... those from Central Asia had beads. As a layman working with pieces that are symbols of cultural heritage ... I love the journey to explore.<br />

The use of silver metallic thread was abundant in Central Asian pieces ... the beaded edging is so intricate ... our modern city karigars refuse to do that kind of harrdwork. Ofcourse, we have the craftsmanship ... but in the fast paced city ... the craftsmen are also chasing quick work. Which makes such detailed handwork more special.<br />

The colour choices ... talks of happy people ... the bunches of tiny beads ... make me wonder about the women crafting these details as they sit huddled together lost as deep in the craft they practise as they are in the gossip they catch up on.<br />
These pieces most often are made of threads and fabric that are vegetable dyed ... so we take special care working with them ... lest the colour bleed and ruin the work.<br />

When we get these patches they are not all in the pristine condition. And there comes in the hardwork that our city karigar's put in. Making a very detailed piece ... but crudely finished tribal piece ... into a piece with the finess that a urban home will enjoy.<br />
Each piece that will make its way into your home ... has had craftsmen labour over it ... working and wondering what they may be fashioning. It started out as a piece of cultural expression in a far off remote region ... collected by traders looking for piece of exotica ... stumbled before the eyes of us designers ... tickling out creative souls and here we are bringing to you cushions ... that you can look ... love and admire ... discover your own tales every time your precious pieces are a conversation starter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These modern day heirloom pieces are a limited collection. So incase you are looking to have a peek at all our pieces ... drop by our boutique today. Or directly message us at rajeessodhome(at)gmail(dot)com. Ref. 'The Gypsy Soul Collection"<br />

Acknowledging the woman who is contributing so much in the art and heritage scene in India. Knowing Ambica and her work ... I am so thrilled to have her share this wonderful news and pictures of the beautiful ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan.<br />
As news of her receiving the Nari Shakti Award reaches me ... it is instant moment of elation. Truly what she does at Art Ichol (<i><a href="http://www.artichol.in/">www.artichol.com</a></i>) ... is absolutely worthy of the award she received. It does take a woman of grit and passion to do what she does and has achieved.<br />

Her recent exhibition ' Disappearing Dialogs ' ... at Bikaner House in Delhi ... stands testament to how she brings together so many genre's of art ... preserving the local culture ... the opportunity to sooo ... many artists to come together and create such stunning art.<br />If you are not familiar with Art Ichol ... do find them<span style="color: #cccccc;"> <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/articholmaihar/">here</a></i> </span>on face book and<span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span><i><a href="http://artichol.in/"><span style="color: #cccccc;">here</span></a> </i>for their website.<br />

It is always nagging me ... the thought as to why I have given up blogging. Time and again I do come back to try the same hand at it ... but something feels amiss. Well ! I get a lot of queries if I'll get back ... honestly, I am going to give it a shot again.<br />
So here goes ... sharing another of our rituals you all may be so familiar with. My lil' one and I are so crazy about getting the back flowers and twigs from our sojourns into the world outside... :) ... this time I got these gorgeous blossoms from her school ... yes, the entire school bag full of them ... :)<br />
Here, in North India we have a very short spring ... it starts on the Basant Panchami Day ( official first day of Indian Spring according to our lunar calendar) ... and we'll probably be done by a little into March.<br />But the blossoms on the trees around shall be spectacular ... as these ... from the India Coral tree. Soon to follow are the Semul ( red silk cotton) ... Gul mohar ... Laburnum. oh! ofcourse the Kachnar (Bauhinia) is blooming like crazy these days ... but I am waiting for that time when forests come alive with the Teshu (Flame of the forest).<br />

Not sure why we jump from winter directly to summer ... short but truly spectacular is our Indian Spring ...

... apparently these painted cattle heads are auspicious pieces ... part of the Pongal or more specifically Mattu Pongal ... celebrations. Well ! the whole story is that ... during Pongal, the harvest festival ... these decorated pieces are part of the procession of the Kochira temple. As a thanksgiving to the cattle that are part of a good harvest ( day being marked as Mattu Pongal) ... not only are the cattle decorated ... but these wooden pieces are made in amazing colours and designs.<br />

After the end of festivities ... these pieces find places at home ... as a good luck charm. Now if animals are good luck charm and revered for that ... I am all sold to those thoughts ... :) and so glad my curiosity about why these pieces are created finally lead to a beautiful story being uncovered. Hope many of you who also may have wondered about them ... are as fascinated as I am ... :))<br />
If you are looking for a closer peak ... want to get a good luck charm for your home this coming festive season ... come right over ... we do have a limited stock before the rest of them arrive ... do drop by at our boutique.<br />

It was always a dream of mine to work with some of the finest art talent of India ... as we start with ceramic art at our boutique store. I have to say I am over the moon ... besotted ... and so completely bowled over by the art coming through our door. And the latest one to debut with us is ceramist - Shweta Mansingka.<br />

Pomegranates ... melons ... pears ... sphere's ... domes ... her shapes are as appealing as is the thought behind her creations. In her own words ... " these ceramic pieces are lovingly crafted and fired in a Raku Kiln to let smoke and fire leave its markings on their skin, making each piece unique."<br />

The reverse journey ... as most tell us ... from online to bric -n- mortar has been fantastic for our brand. I find, the veil of limitations that online has for products that we enjoy ... has been lifted and we suddenly are overwhelmed with the introduction to so many new genre's of crafts and artists. Adding to it all is meeting so many of you in person. Talking about our old products from the on- line store and get all excited about new comings ... into this store ... ;)<br />

We introduced ceramic art in our boutique and i think there is no bigger crime ... then not acknowledging the artist behind the creations ... so I must mention the pieces you see above are by Delhi based potter ... Priyasha Bose ... her art ceramic pieces have been so adored and loved ... she definitely sets the bench mark for all future artists at our store ... :)) and she sets it high ... ;)<br />

the first bench that literally breezed through the store has left us so bereft ... we had to order a new one.Just figured talking as much as we do ... is so much more cozy on one of these ... so next time you are thinking of dropping by ... come by ... would be great to meet you all finally in person ... :)))))<br />

Sharing one of the bestest news in a long long time ... :)))) ... YESSSS!!! ... we are arriving on the scene in a very exciting new avatar ... a real ... brick - n - mortar store ...:)<br />
<br />Ladies n Gentlemen ... Rajee Sood Home ... has its very first store, ready to open very soon ... in Gurgaon. It was a very nostalgic moment for me to be reminded by some of my regular readers, that this was a dream in the making for the last 7-8 years. Yes, it was ...a wee bit of an unnerving thought ... mentioned it in the passing once in an interview ... but felt very silly to say it aloud ... :)<br />
<br />Today it is very close to reality ... we are busy at work ... putting together collections ... designing ... redesigning ... sourcing and ordering and finally ... waiting for the deliveries ... :))))))))))) Pretty sure we will take our sweet time to smoothen any kinks along the way ... but what a lovely journey it has been so far.<br />Hope to reveal our opening date super soon ... till then ... do keep a look out ... right over here. We are just as excited to share it with all of you ... :)<br />

Shout out to all of you all wondering where I am ... well ! right here ... trying yet again to get back to old ways ... :)<br />For many of you dropping by from Instagram for a bit more on these vintage Vajri's ...here is little more on them.<br />
<div style="line-height: 1.4em;">
A story that was shared with us, by one of our readers, couple of years ago ... when we discovered these beautiful pieces. I so loved the way it was written and sent to us that I have always shared it here, completely uncensored ...<br /> -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em;">
<br />This foot scrubber (vajri) comes from southern India and dates to the 19th century. Typically, women when bathing - to scrub the feet - used such scrubbers, something made necessary, as most users did not wear shoes.<br />These were of cast brass and comprised of a pedestal with a cage and a rough, scored base that is surmounted by a pair of finely cast birds (as shown in the pieces in the pics.) that is both decorative and also functions as a handle.<br />Small pebbles or rocks or tiny metal balls usually are contained within the bases of most such scrubbers. Bathing often occurred in a public space, perhaps by a stream, a pond or a river. When the scrubber was being used, the small pebbles/rocks/metal balls jingled, perhaps to warn off others in the vicinity that women were bathing nearby.<br />The quality of this example (as shown in the pics.) is underscored by the fact that the base contains not irregular pebbles or rocks but uniform spheres of metal balls.<br />P.S. 'Vajri' is not to be confused with Indra's 'Vajra'<br />Its a little detail that changes in your bathroom vanity tray. Don't be surprised, it is as good to use as the day it was probably first crafted for those women at the river.</div>

For an enlightening moment when it strikes you ... you've been taking things ... a tad bit too seriously ... :) Nothing, tops a home ... like the one with a bit of sense of humor ... :)). Hope you too have a step back moment and shake it up a bit ... :)<br />
Over here, at our end ... we've been loving this picture I found on Pinterest ... though the Designer in me peeks through and feels ... umm -hmm ! that entry point ought to be a wee bit lower ... you know anthropometry and all ... ;))))))))) No...noo ... its purely a professional point made ... nothing to do with being hit hard by the 40's ... ;)</div>

I hit upon a lovely article ... it sort of spoke what I feel ... in terms of entertaining ... yes, I am not the tissue paper, plastic ware and disposable thingie's kind of a person ... and many of us have loads of reason why we love it that way ... a passionate dislike for plastic being quite there on the top of the list ...<br />
