As much as I love to create magic, I like finding pieces of magic or as I’d like to call them my ‘travel treasures’ to share on Deeper Than Fashion. These elephant treasures were definitely a crowd favourite;
Double Elephant Bracelets &;
Ele Hug rings. How cute are these elephant rings that wrap around your finger, giving it a little hug?! 🙂
I also managed to find pieces that I can infuse into my own creations. Like this cameo Ganesha; 
& of course, no post is complete without my customised Ganesha dreamcatchers. These have been a constant hit and the orders for these haven’t slowed down one bit;
Sometimes I get orders without a price limit & I can let my creativity fully take over. Like I did with this gold Ganesha piece; 
The blessings keep coming in abundance & I’d like to take a moment to thank the Universe for all it’s blessings.

Lord Ganesha is probably one of the best-known and worshipped Hindu gods. Others may know him as the elephant god as Ganesha has an elephant’s head. Being the remover of obstacles, I’ve always had a personal liking to Ganesha especially since my mom would make an effort to make a stop at the Ganesha temple every morning before going to work, or my dad would always drive past the temple to pray in whenever he left the house. Ganesha has always been a favourite in my household, and that rubbed off on me.
I’m probably not the most religious person, but I believe that my prayers and thoughts on it are between me and god. This however is a completely different story all together. Coming back to Ganesha, I’ve made dreamcatchers incorporating him in them and the response has been overwhelming. I take this as a sign of blessing;
I love how I was able to incorporate something that was significant to my life and learn that it was equally as significant to others. The first one I made was completely by chance (exactly how most of my designs come to life) and I am so happy to have had this idea come to me.

When Deeper Than Fashion first started, it was known as Rainbow’s Doodles. I started off wanting to merely sell some of my handmade creations to raise money for concert tickets my parents didn’t want to fork out for. I’ll forever be grateful they didn’t. I never in my dreams expected it to turn out into what it is today and I can proudly say, all my hard work and dedication to my craft continues to pay off on a daily. Every day I wake up feeling blessed to be able to do what I love.
Taking a walk down memory lane, I can’t believe when I first started, these were my first few pieces;
Perler beads or as I like to call them, Pixellettes (because they were pixelated, how incredibly clever of me :3). As creativity would have it, I embarked on a journey of learning new skill sets with brand new ideas and materials. 
Being a fashion student, I always had buttons lying around. I began to use those to create wearable art. Also, I had a fantastic time experimenting with tassels & fringe jewelry;
After which, I finally found my love for feathers. Lightweight, flowy and free, I created so many designs I’ve lost count. Here are a few of my personal favourites;
Slowly I learnt new tricks with feathers, and I started painting on them;
However my most prized and favourite creations will always be… you guessed it, my dreamcatchers;
All the wonderful themes I created, all the magic these little pieces of jewelry provided, I can’t even explain how much joy its been to be able to go on this creative journey. The best part, creativity and ideas don’t run out. You can only evolve and become better. I truly believe I have improved over the years & promise to do so in years to come.
& I for one, am excited about it all 🙂 Thank you for being a part of my journey and growth. Here’s to a lifetime of art, happiness, love and dreams.

Walt Disney once said “If you can dream it, you can do it” & that applies perfectly to my creations.
Being a Disney kid myself, I had to come up with a tribute collection to all the dreams contributed & magic Disney brought to my childhood (and adulthood too!). You are never too old for Disney. Ever. *sprinkles magic fairy dust*
This necklace is a grown up way to add a little magic to any outfit. Not only does it give you the key to unlock your dreams, you also have a magic wand just incase 😉
What better way to add to the tribute than with a tribute to each movie? Beauty & the Beast , The Little Mermaid, Alladin & Frozen. Definitely more to come.

Creativity is something that is very subjective to me and my creative process is… to be honest, I don’t have one. I’m merely just enjoying the journey and see where it takes me.
I enjoy picking little knick-knacks and materials whenever I see them, things that I find fascinating & fall in love with; not knowing what I’m going to do with it and letting it inspire me when the time comes. I have charms and materials stored for months before I eventually use them.
I fall in love with ideas before they even hit me. Falling in love, knowing I won’t fall out of it.
I hope for everyone to find love like that. Exciting, inspiring, comforting, fulfilling, bliss.
I come across my designs by chance a lot of time. I make mistakes, recreate and learn from it. Some of my designs may come across a little ‘raw’. Slightly imperfect, and very much handmade. Definitely full of love, hard-work and good vibes.
I work at my own pace, no pressure, in my own rainbow bubble of happy. I believe emotions reflect in your art.
With no compromises in quality and focusing in what my idea of wearable art should be, I constantly evolve in terms of materials used, designs and inspiration. There’s no limitations, just a special sense of freedom, constantly enabling me to progress and feed my soul.
Being able to design wearable art or accessories has given me the ability and creative outlet to turn my daydreaming and inspirations into a reality.
& this, is the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.
