Our Journey

Have you ever felt like your love for something was just meant to be? Well, that's exactly how I feel about arts and crafts. Growing up in Kathmandu, Nepal, a city known for its rich artistic traditions, I was surrounded by creativity from an early age. It's as if my passion for arts and crafts was ingrained in my DNA.

How did it all begin?

Let me introduce you to the two incredible women who shaped my artistic journey – my mom, "Nirmala Aryal Dixit," and my grandma, "Dhana Aryal." These two talented ladies not only passed down their artistic skills but also ignited a deep love for creativity within me.

As a child, I was mesmerized by the beautiful knitting, crocheting, and beading works that my mom and grandma created. I would spend hours watching them work their magic, and it sparked a fire within me to create something beautiful with my own hands.

Discovering my true passion

While my family excelled in various crafts, my heart was drawn to painting and sketching. There was something magical about putting a brush to canvas and watching colors come to life. I would lose myself in the process, creating vibrant and imaginative artworks.

Even during my teenage years, I couldn't resist the urge to create. I would gather fabric pieces, buttons, and even broken items to craft unique jewelry for myself. It was my way of expressing my individuality and adding a touch of quirkiness to my outfits.

Embracing the world of arts and crafts

As I grew older, my passion for arts and crafts only intensified. I started exploring different mediums and techniques, constantly pushing myself to learn and improve. Whether it was experimenting with pottery, paper mache, or origami, I was always eager to try something new.

Arts and crafts became my escape, my therapy, and my way of connecting with the world around me. It allowed me to express my emotions, tell stories, and create something tangible out of my imagination. It brought me joy, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose.

Gratitude to my mom and grandma

I owe a heartfelt gratitude to my mom and grandma for nurturing my love for arts and crafts. They not only taught me the technical skills but also instilled in me the belief that creativity knows no bounds. They encouraged me to think outside the box, embrace imperfections, and find beauty in every creation.

Today, as I continue my arts and crafts journey, my sister Sailza is stepping up with me for all her creativity with Paper Quilling jewelry to carry their legacy with us. Every brushstroke, every stitch, and every creation is a tribute to their love and guidance. I am forever grateful for the artistic genes they passed down to us.

So, if you ever find yourself drawn to a particular art form or craft, don't hesitate to dive in. Let your creativity flow, embrace the quirks, and enjoy the journey. Who knows, you might just discover a hidden talent that was waiting to be unleashed.
