They call it ingenious little pieces of art… I think they are beautiful…. Knicknacks go a long way in telling us that small is beautiful. All my life I have been collecting knicknacks wherever I went, be it wooden dolls or dagger shaped key chains, wind chimes or vases, masks or puppets. What wowed me was the thought, the idea, the design and creativity that went behind it.The everyday craftsmen whose deft hands work effortlessly to turn out a perfect design from an inconsequential bottle, wood piece or even straws and candy sticks. Kaarukriti is a space where I display some of my creations. "Best out of Waste" is something that I adhere to and in the hopes of making this small world a little more pretty. And while some may go beyond the usual definition of knicknacks, I would still like to call them so. Welcome to Kaarukriti.
