Who am I? Welcome into my world.....


   I love colours. I personally feel that even the most miserable days suddenly transform if you splash colour into them. A day when nothing is going right, one look at a bright yellow flower makes the day worth it or atleast better. To me a bright coloured bag, shoes or bracelet would do the same aswell. So who am I? I'm a freelance designer. I make handmade jewelry and embellished accessories. I love doing this! 

 If a year ago from now I would have defined myself I would have been someone who was totally a nobody. Why? Just because. I didn't know what to do with my life. Didn't know who I was as an individual. Sure I did study textiles for the longest time but couldn't graduate. So in my eyes I was basically not so important. 

 Then one day out of sheer boredom I decided to make myself a pair of earrings by wrapping a plastic bangle with gold zari thread and embellishing it. I was in love! So I made another one. And another one. And then friends wanted some. Their friends wanted some. So today I create pieces that I absolutely love and adore. 

 This blog is dedicated to all the things which inspire me. And I hope somewhere they inspire you aswell.

Hey. Thank you for visiting and commenting. If you want to see the complete collection of my older work or the newer ones that I create then I can email the pictures to you.

And I live in Karachi and I'm assuming you are in the same town as well so do drop an email.

Hera Khoso said...

P.S if you want to get in touch about any orders or pieces that you like then do inbox me your contact number. I shall get in touch with you asap. Thanks.

simplicity.my.charm@gmail.com

ReeBz said...

by the way just a question, why couldnot you graduate even after taking admission in textileS?

Hera Khoso said...

No I meant in the same city when I said town. You are in Karachi thats for sure now =D

I've dropped you an email of the pieces which are left with me. Apart from that there are many more which got sold out but if you want I can email you their pictures too so you can order something like them.

Oh I couldnt graduate because my family got worried that their workaholic/perfectionist kid would starve herself to death because I worked too much, ate little and basically fell ill. So instead I took an Advanced Diploma. InshAllah planning to do a few more courses in jewellry and accessory design in the coming months.

Oh yeah I do know what you mean by longer earrings. One of my cousins has the same problem with round earrings. Dont worry I'll send you more pictures InshAllah.

Yeah I passed by the venue of "Help in a box" and it seemed quite great. Hopefully I will go there. I am trying to collect more people to go with me since its kinda far from where I live. :)

ReeBz said...
