Love by Akshata Kulkarni (AK)
Hello!
Welcome to my Page! I am so thrilled that you are interested in showcasing my brand TalkingThyme in your store. I am Akshata, a SanJose based scientist turned Resin and Floral artist. I started my brand in 2017 part time while I was a full time horticultural scientist.
Started my journey in art from local Flea markets to reputed Craft fairs over last 8 years, with one show/event in a month to managing 30-35 high profile craft fairs per year in the nation successfully over last 5 years, and have come a long way in curating products, product line and creating a small team of women/moms in building this brand which fulfils sustainable, artistic handmade home-decor, jewelry and newly introduced stationery elements in ensuring a product line that helps us create a zero waste art process.
Who are we?
Why can you Trust us?
We are slow paced, honest and a handmade team focusing on details and quality of the product. We are efficient in communicating and transparent in our process from ideation, creation to handing over the products. We have been in 5 stores all across the nation for the last 3 years and learnt about streamlining our art processes to estimating accurate delivery. We now feel comfortable to take a leap, expand and create an opportunity and exposure for these lovely handmade pieces by me and my team.
What do we make?
We believe in creating one of a kind functional decor by
- Rescuing and repurposing wildfire affected wood into stunning serving or cutting boards and clocks by artistically enhancing the aesthetics and strength of the wood using premium food safe non toxic resin.
- Supporting Local farmers by using their filler field flowers and wildflowers in our art by preserving them and creating floral pieces with them.
- Zero waste process: floral remnants of bigger decor projects are used in creating earrings, cards and wax seals which use tiny petals and left over florals from getting wasted into creating unique gifting stationery or self care journaling elements.
