Hello everyone, I am Anamika Sarkar currently living in Delhi. Although I have been into the teaching profession for almost 20 years, but my passion has always been arts. Being married to a defense officer, I could never indulge in my creative ventures wholeheartedly, but would always keep exploring and learning. Few years back, I decided to quit my job and started exploring my creative side. Today I am a passionate crafter, enjoying my time and exploring my creative side to the fullest! Decoupage is my forte but I also love to try out other art and craft forms. I am thrilled to be a part of the Itsy Bitsy Design Team and am looking forward to having a great time here.

Hello, I am Shantha Prabhu from Bangalore. I am a Computer Science graduate by education but an artist at heart. I quit my job to wholeheartedly pursue fine arts, my true passion. I am into shading, water colours, pencil sketching, portraits and still life. I enjoy a wide variety of art forms ranging from the traditional Warli and Madhubani, to still life paintings, and therapeutic art. Looking forward to a lovely time at the Itsy Bisy blog sharing my creations with you all.

Hi I am Lekha, a crafter by passion and a Hospital Adminstrator by profession. I am based out of Gurgaon and quit my job to pursue crafting. I specialize in Decoupage, Quilling, Scrapbooking, etc. Other than these, I love DIY projects with fluid acrylics, string art, resin projects, mixed media etc. I believe that creativity isn’t restricted to one particular form. I am looking forward to bring you loads of projects in the coming months.

Hello, I am Daksha Popat from Kolkata. My interest in arts and crafts always motivated me to pursue activities that interest my creative side. I have a degree in interior designing and take classes for stained glass paintings, murals, Tanjore paintings, scrapbooking, theme cards etc. I don’t like to stick to any particular form of art and love exploring new avenues. Crafting is my passion that constantly challenges my creative limits. I began with paintings, especially art forms like Tanjore painting, Vrindavani painting, stained glass and 3D clay murals and went on to discover other forms which fascinated me. I am grateful to be a part of the crafting community and am here to bring you some inspiration and have loads of fun!

Hi, I am Vinita and I live in Delhi. I started paper crafting 6 years ago after my retiring from Kindergarten teaching. Soon I discovered the world of card making and I was hooked on to it. Since then, I never stopped. I have been constantly making new discoveries in this wonderful world of creativity and improving my skills and am still learning! Crafting is how I take some time out from the busy world. It gives me my much needed mental relaxation as I consider colors, texture and design for my projects. Hope you enjoy my creations on this journey together on Itsy Bitsy’s blog. I am super excited and looking forward to sharing loads of inspiring projects.

Hello everyone, I am Bela Shah from Mumbai. I am commerce graduate with qualifications in 2D, 3D animation, web designing and fashion designing. After working in the corporate sector, I realized my undying inclination towards art. That prompted me to start classes of my own way back in 2006. I love pencil sketching, oil painting, charcoal painting, water colour, acrylics and few folk arts like Warli, Madhubani etc. I also enjoy calligraphy, mixed media, decoupage, flower making, altered art, etc.

My affinity for learning new techniques made me start crafting and the curiosity grew as I tried, tested and experienced great satisfaction. That made me love quilling, parchment, decoupage, flower making, and now I’m hooked onto mixed media. I look Inspiration everywhere and am sure to have a great time with all my arty-crafty friends here!

Hi, I’m Anila, a professionally trained Interior Designer who enjoyed being an Art and Craft teacher for few years and have now turned into a SAHM and a full-time crafter. I enjoy all kinds of paper crafts and love making clean and simple cards. You may occasionally find me making some scrapbook layouts or some altered/mixed media projects or decoupage, but technically I breathe CARDS. Thrilled to be a part of the Itsy Bitsy Design Team and looking forward to bring you loads of inspirational projects!

Hi, I am Vaishali Khandwala from Mumbai. I am an architect by qualification but a crafter at heart! Along with designing homes, I have a strong passion for creating home décor and gifting products. I see the possibility of alteration in almost every object around me. Decoupage is my core strength and I use my favorite craft form to customize utility products. I truly enjoy adding dimension and depth to decoupage along with mixed media techniques. My creations are well balanced with colours, form and textures. Additionally, I enjoy up-cycling treasured objects and ordinary furniture to statement pieces. I feel, blogging and being a part of a design team is a wonderful growing experience in my crafting journey and helps me contribute in my own unique way to the journey of fellow crafters.

Hi I am Aangee Shah from Ahmadabad. I am a self taught artist. I love making and trying new art works but basically I am into card making, scrapbooking, and mixed media.

I am supper excited and happy to be a part of the Itsy Bitsy design team. Looking forward to inspire you to craft more and more with my projects
