Vibha's Hand-painted Stuffs

This little place, Vibha's Hand-painted Stuffs, is situated right near the Aditya Birla Hospital. It is not a huge factory or a massive retail outlet, just a simple spot where things actually get painted by hand. There are usually brushes soaking in jars and different colors of paint splattered on the work surfaces. It stays a bit messy because that is what happens when you are working on crafts and creative pieces all day long. We spend a lot of our time just sitting and focusing on the small details of whatever piece is sitting on the table at the moment. Some days the natural light is good, and other days we are squinting a bit more under the lamps. Living and working so close to the hospital means there is always traffic and people moving around outside, which keeps the neighborhood feeling lively. We do not really do the mass-produced thing here at all. Each item ends up looking at least a little bit different from the last one because human hands are not like machines. It takes a lot of time to finish a single piece properly, and sometimes a design does not go exactly as we planned. That is just part of the whole process. We like the smell of the fresh paint and the feeling of finally finishing something new. It is a quiet kind of work compared to the busy streets right outside our door. We just keep making things and seeing how they turn out.
