This is a series I really enjoyed designing, styling and shooting. I love vintage & this whole grey + yellow is not something I thought of as a vintage colour scheme, infact I have seen the Grey + yellow used in really edgy contexts and so giving this a vintage feel was fun. I had designed the boxes much later than the trays and I was wondering how will I extend this French typography into a Box - my inspiration was packaging and label design and I looked in my archives to find this stash of vintage labels which went very well with the botanical illustration & the typography I used on the trays. I'm really happy with the way these boxes have turned out & you must indulge me in the 100 pictures that I have shot of this series.

I have been putting together something. Its still going on and fingers crossed and if all goes according to plan, I should have some really exciting news to share with all of you soooon! Meantime I have been shooting my products, The Queen series of trays which are so popular now have boxes in the same designs. These past few months while I was quickly making these boxes and sending them for the Jaypore Event and then selling on LimeRoad.com, I did not have the time or the bandwidth to shoot them. But here they are finally. A few shots of a few boxes, The hand painted gold details on the boxes is what makes these boxes extra special. It takes time, neatness and a lot of patience and love. I was really keen that the photographs show up the gold work - so in some pictures I had to take the pictures at un-natural angles and really pushing the products to catch the sun. So the painstakingly hand done gold work may be seen.

 This is the Rectangular Knick Knack box and measures at 11x7x4 inches and is great to hold all manner of things.

 This is what I meant when I said I had to shoot them in strange angles to catch the light.

Colours. Deep, warm, pulsing and heart filling. That Indians have a thing for colour is no new news. And Jaypore is celebrating this. Its the Rang week in Jaypore. And they celebrate it with a splash of colour on clothes on accessories, on jewellery, you name it, if you are a colour lover, just head over to Jaypore.com. Artnlight products are a part of their Rang. And selling under the event called "Labor of Love" I'm touched that they chose this heading to sell my products under.They also blogged about the inside story of Art&light and the journey from blogging to creating products in a well written post (you can read it here)

What is exciting is that this range is not available anywhere else online right now. I sent them the Queen boxes and the Botanical Boxes before I even shot them myself. So here's how they look. And the event is on for one more week & things are already getting sold out. So if you've been eying your Queen or Botanical Box or tray, the time to grab it is NOW :)
