Priya

Hello, I am Priya from Mumbai, India, an experienced HR professional now a Stay at Home Mom of my 6 yr old bundle of joy. My journey into the craft world started when I took a break from my job after birth of my son. It started with Paper Quilling which still remains my first love. I love making out of the box Paper Crafts, Mixed media Layouts, Canvases, Altered Art and Scrapbook albums.  I don't have a particular style of work, I love to try new ideas and techniques. I love working with different unusual mediums and scraps to create out of the box projects. I am very new to card making but now I enjoy making them.
