Whats the story behind the making of Rajul Arts?
My nick name is ‘Rajul’ & I’m passionate about the ‘Art’ world.
In my life, my husband played a vital role as he motivated me to pursue a Diploma in Fashion Designing. Later, I couldn’t take an opportunity as a full time Designer, due to busy schedule with my Kids in nurturing & looking after their routine.
Going forward I thought to have my own business but there was a little ambiguity in my mind.

One thing was clear that I wanted to do something in designing. That’s how I decided to do a course in making of Imitation Jewellery. After completion when I entered into Business, I realized that there was saturation in Imitation Jewellery. A strong desire to do something innovative & creative compelled me to start making Beads Jewellery. My day was not getting completed without doing any creative work in Beads. This is how in the year 2014, Rajul Arts came into existence.
When you first realized the fact that there is an artist within you?
Since childhood, I was fond of Handicrafts & Paintings. In my leisure time, I used to wonder
what kind of technique & skills an Artist must have incorporated to create it.
I use to arrange the materials by using my piggy bank savings & try to recreate the Art which I used to see in school, institutions & at relatives place.
The satisfaction of creating an Art with my own hands & appreciation from my family & friends helped to find myself as an Artist. These things kept me motivating & curious about learning various Arts & Handicrafts.

Who is the one who inspired you in turning your passion into profession?
For my every creation, my husband has complimented & encouraged me to come up with something innovative & unique in my every design. He’s a nature photographer.
My creation of colourful beaded Jewellery has been inspired by natural beauties like Birds, Flowers, anything in nature that fascinates & inspires me. Looking at my talent, my husband inspired me to bring my creations in front of the world.
How is the feeling when people appreciate your work?
When someone appreciates my work, it boosts my creativity & encourages me to do still better and better work. Appreciation also enhances the potential in me to attain next higher levels in designing.

We also undertake workshops & classes for the interested students who want to learn this Art.
The task is not easy to establish any art form in the mind of creative people, so what sort of obstructions you faced in your path to grow?
As in any Business, there always come some hurdles to cross over before you make consumers aware of your Product’s features & Benefits.
This is required as we feel it clears their queries & compels them to buy our product affectionately.
It involves explaining the Art lovers about the fact that our every unique creation has behind a hard effort, vision & prolong hours of dedication.
