00:00I want to say that according to our tradition, the rukhwat that a girl makes
00:05at the time of her marriage, with her own hands,
00:07in that, jewellery was made from grains and spices
00:12and it was kept as a display product and later it was discarded.
00:17So I thought, this is so much dead spice, it will all go bad
00:22or its grains will go bad.
00:25So instead of that, why not reuse it later, so that the girl can wear it, literally.
00:31Why not make it like that? So thinking about that, I made this one.
00:36So which materials do you use?
00:39I use all types of spices, like small cardamom, big cardamom, cloves, black pepper,
00:48then different things, like jute thread, I apply it on the base and then I stick it on top of it.
00:55So how much time does it take to make one?
00:58If I want to do simple earrings and chain jewellery, trendy look jewellery,
01:02then it doesn't take me much time, in 15 minutes, I am done.
01:06Sometimes I have to do mangalsutra and such type of jewellery,
01:09so it takes a little time, because I have to stick it.
01:13So it takes a long time.
01:15I have to stick it on the satin ribbon, after it dries, I have to stick it again on the back,
01:21so it takes a little more time.
01:23So it takes me 1-2 hours.
01:25But if I have to do it in short, in a simple way, then it gets done quickly.
01:29Like if I take a chain or a pearl chain and put it inside like a locket and make 2 earrings,
01:36then it gets done quickly in 15 minutes.
01:38And how much time do you take with you?
01:41If I get a lot of orders for my base work,
01:46like if I have to show it in an exhibition,
01:49then I have to keep a lot of things for sale in the exhibition.
01:52So I have kept 4-5 ladies to do the raw work.
01:57I have trained them a little,
02:00who at least make the basic things for me.
02:03Like I make paper jewellery,
02:06so they cut the paper from the newspaper and make a roll and give it to me.
02:14So when the roll is ready, then I can work on it properly.
02:18How is the trend now? How much demand do people have?
02:22People always demand from ladies, young ladies and ladies of all ages.
02:27I have seen that there is a lot of demand for jewellery.
02:31They like to wear something new,
02:34something different, something different.
02:37This has become their mentality these days.
02:40So keeping that mentality in mind, I have made all these things in different styles.
02:44Like I have made terracotta jewellery,
02:47the girls who wear it in the wedding,
02:50in the function of mehendi and haldi,
02:53so I have made re-usable jewellery.
02:56That is, even after the function is over and they throw the set,
02:59instead of that set, they can wear a party wear gown or something like that later.
03:05What is the price?
03:07My range is from Rs. 20 to Rs. 350 or Rs. 400.
03:12I don't even go up to Rs. 500.
03:14I sell everything in a reasonable range.
03:17So that the people of medium work, the middle class people,
03:22they can afford it easily.
03:24What is your name?
03:26My name is Ashwini Ketkar.
03:28And I have done a Master of Fine Arts.
03:58I have used cardboard and wall putty.
04:03I am making it with the thought of the people of medium and middle class.
04:08Because they are also interested in the rich decoration.
04:12Our house is also made so well.
04:15In that range, I am going to make things and I am going to sell it.
04:19Because I am a painter, basically I am an artist.
04:22My series is going on.
04:24Can I talk to you?
04:25Yes.
04:26My series is going on.
