These past 12 days - ever since I announced the Mug festival has been a flurry of activity at the Artnlight Studio - parcels have been packed steadily and have been shipped across to people from across India. What touched me the most is that this time round there were more people gifting it than people buying it for themselves and as a trend I saw that while people bought a mug or 2 for themselves - they bought more for people who live far away from them. These messages are beautiful and that people felt it would brighten someones day or make a difference to them - made my day. So I'm extending the festival and give-away deadline + the FREE shipping for 3 more days - till Monday - September 2nd night.

For people seeing this for the 1st time click this link for all the details.

New deadline? 2nd September 2014.

I have been so excited about throwing this open :) Guys! Welcome to the "Mug Festival" :) - I love that it has a funny ring to it - because funny is happy & that is exactly what this festival is - its just happy time to pick up a happy mug with a message on it. I have been wanting to do this for so long. So I just designed a bunch of mugs with messages on it. Messages that are close to my heart - messages that would make me happy if I saw it around or if I owned it. Messages that are a reminder or a gentle nudge towards how we want to create our day. Some of these may resonate with some of you more than others & that is the point - there is one for everyone. And to make it a little more fun - the shipping is FREE :) on the entire Mugs section. So just go to artnlight.in & choose your mug & order it. And when I was designing these my mind immediately went to a few of my friends & I thought how perfect a particular message might be for a certain friend & so yes gift your friends with a message mug - the one that you feel is made for them.

The festival is happening at the artnlight online store - right here.

 

Imagine beginning your mornings with "Choose happiness" in your head & heart. What a different day you might have. Imagine gifting this to a particular friend who you know needs just this. You can pick yours here

 This is a mug right after my own heart. When i saw this quote on Pinterest (sorry no credits - because I don't know who has written it) I was just grinning ear to ear. This one was MADE FOR ME :) Also whats interesting is that its not an overtly feminine design - so yeah! gift it to your husband/boyfriend/friend  - who needs that nudge to book those tickets (yes, I am evil :D) Here's where to get them. 

 This is the print I designed for the Nisha Sainani Spring Summer collection & thats now made famous with celebrities and film stars wearing it - these are Limited Edition Mugs.

 Another version of the above design - this mug has the pink & blue shield on either side of the mug. Limited Edition. Buy yours here

This one is a simple Rose print - in shades of well - rose :) its all pretty english and dedicated to all the lovers of pink - men & women - you know right away if this one is yours & if it is - get it here.

If that was English and pink this is very Indian and Indigo.

 

 This one is close to my heart as well. I feel its difficult not to just naturally compare yourself to someone whose work you admire, and yet there is place for everyone and the whole point is that what one person can make or do in a particular way- no one else can. So getting better than yourself is really where its at.

 This one is just a simple, but powerful word. "Abundance". It feels like a blessing almost. I would love to have this as a reminder each day for all the abundance that anyway fills our life, for the abundance of friends, laughter, love we are blessed with and yes, for the abundance of everything that we wish for.

Deadline? 26th August 2014.

I would love to hear what you feel about this series. Do drop in a comment - Which mug do you like? Why? 

How could I not share here in my space Art&Light's very well received 2013 Diwali range of products, I had designed a King range of products & I thought a Queen series would be a great follow up on that. This also happened at a super chaotic time, I was preparing for my exhibition at the Fuschia Tree's show 'The Cool Hunting Show' where this entire collection would be launched. I was travelling to 1st Goa & then Kolkata. And I got a week in Bombay in between all of that. It meant that every evening in Kolkata after coming back from a frenetic day of Pujo festivities and shooting, I just had to sit down and do my work, I was experimenting with new products - I was making cushions and Mugs for the very 1st time, co-ordinating with all the people who did this for me was done on the phone from Kolkata. It was crazy how this range put itself together. Sampling - matching colours on watsapp! all of this happened long distance. I had heard - winging it etc - but this time I saw how this could work. Would I do it again - yes if I had to, but not by choice.
