Right off the bat, let me thank you for coming along this far. It means the world to me to know that someone out there in the universe is curious to know more about this little workshop of mine
If you are here, you are probably looking to learn a little more about this platform and myself. There's a lot I can tell you about that...
Who am I?
It's so nice to meet you, my name's Shreya Teresita (hello!). If degrees matter to you, I'm a journalist currently paying the bills with a 9-5 day job that sometimes becomes a 9-9!
That said, my true passion lies in writing and building stuff. DIY projects where I can make something pretty and usable out of throwaway items and very little money is what I think of when l lay wide awake in bed.
Something else about me? Um, cheese is the love of my life. Cameras don't like me much. If you adore The Golden Girls and Feluda, we can be best of friends.
Long term goal? Someday, I hope to live in an old house away from the city where I can resurrect antique decor and old furniture...and perhaps be pals be ghosts.
About
What am I doing here?
Like I mentioned earlier, my main mission here is to make 'fancy' as inexpensive and easy as possible for you. 'Fancy' could mean a lavish decor piece for your living room, or a pricey utility item for your kitchen that I can help you make yourself.
When the day has been long and stressful, I go to my little workshop and let the elves in my head hammer out something nice - that can be a lampshade out of an ugly vase or a mirror frame using some broken table legs.
In between all my tried-and-tested projects, you may find some personal stories about travel and mental health. Feel free to peruse, though these would mostly be a rare glance at behind the scenes.
Why should you stay?
Well, I can't make you stay, but should you stick around, you will go home with quite a few tips and tricks to make your living spaces more magical and useful. On this platform, you will find tutorials on:
-
How to recreate expensive decor items with affordable alternatives
-
How to best recycle trash into treasure
-
How to make convoluted art projects as easily as you can
What you won't find on this platform:
-
'5-minute art' that takes you nowhere
-
I'll tell you as is - no clickbait, I solemnly swear
-
DIY projects that require huge investments or complicated tactics
What's Patreon & the 'Shop' for?
As many of you all may know, Patreon is a business tool where creators who choose to can broadcast their content on a subscription basis.
As of now, all my content is free on this public domain. Eventually, however, I plan to expand my services on Patreon where interested clients can access exclusive and special tutorials for a minimal fee.
The 'Shop' tab is also in the works. Here, I plan to put up some special items made by me for sale.
While I love showcasing my work free of charge for all to see, contributions via these services can help this business bloom. But at the end of the day, please know that all your support, even if it's in the form of a click, is much appreciated.
