The traditional art has been used on limited products like jewelry boxes, pen stands, artifacts before but The Handicraft Street has conceptualized the use of the traditional technique on home decor, bath accessories, and kitchenware products with contemporary designs like birds, animals, cars, and various other shapes and objects.

The Handicraft Street has also added a new variation - Brass, in the elements used in the engraving process which uplifts the traditional art by giving it a contemporary touch as shown in the following pictures.

The objective to make this particular change is an effort from our side to revive the Prachinkari art and support local craftsmen by giving them a platform to showcase their skilled work at domestic and international markets.
There is representation of the art made by the artisans in a contemporary form for these evolved times to create aesthetically pleasing home decor through this venture.

3D Stone Collection https://thehandicraftstreet.com/2020/08/06/3d-stone-collection/ https://thehandicraftstreet.com/2020/08/06/3d-stone-collection/#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2020 05:32:05 +0000 https://thehandicraftstreet.com/?p=4131 The post 3D Stone Collection appeared first on The Handicraft Street.

The 3D Stone collection is given rise from a "mysterious" material that resembles 3D marbled paper but weighs equal to a stone. It is a series of geometric forms stacked upon one another to create multi-dimensional, functional sculptures. The unique process involves recycling the powdered residue from the marble industry, mixed with pigment and resin to create blocks of material that can be sawn, sliced, and turned on a lathe. It will inject a fresh pop sensibility into any setting with its substantial weight, smooth texture, and bold pattern. We have almost 30 different textures out of which 4 are displayed below:-

A step by step guide of forming a 3D Stone material-

1. LIQUIDS

Add 2 litres of water into a container, then add 200ml of marbling paint concentrate solution. Blend the liquid until fully dissolved.

2. MERGE

Drop the marbling paint into the solution surface.

3. VARIANT

When the paint colour spreads evenly, drop other paint colours one by one until you have the desired colour combination.

4. DISRUPT

Use a comb or rod to swirl your pattern.

5. SWIRL

Keep swirling till you get the patterns of your choice.

6. TRANSFER

Lay your hand or object onto the solution surface and leave for approximately 5 seconds.

7. PATIENCE

Keep wet side upwards till your hand or object has air-dried.

More and more homes are being built in a sustainable manner and those homeowners who didn’t join the green movement right from the beginning are now starting to make a positive change. Turning your home into a sustainable place doesn’t have to be exhausting and stressful, and all you need to know are the basic principles of green renovations and the ways to include eco-friendly décor into your home. One of the best ways is to start including marble or stone home products in your house.

The reason why most people have grown to like marble is that it provides layers of elegance and aesthetics, but another great thing about the product is that it helps to conserve the environment in the following ways-

Marbles are Natural

Marble is environmental-friendly since it is a natural stone, this benefits the environment in many ways. As it is in the natural form, marble doesn't require any power or energy to be produced and therefore, doesn't cause any pollution and saves energy.
Marbles Don’t Require Manufacturing

Marble doesn’t require any machines to be created but requires people to harvest it, thereby eliminating the need to run machines that emit gases and pollute the environment. Because of this more people get jobs of harvesting the material and this creates job opportunities in society.

Marble Can Be Recycled

The good thing about marble, since it is a natural stone it can easily be recycled later on if you want to change the flooring, counters, or other marble aspects in the house. There won’t be any need to dispose of old material, these old marble pieces can be used to make tiles and anything else that can come out from the pieces.

This ability of marble to be able to be recycled makes it even more environment-friendly and efficient for use. Whereas it pays to recycle a naturally occurring item that has zero effects on our environment, instead of having to replace it with other not so environmentally friendly items.

Marble is Durable

Durability is a key factor while considering your homeware products and marble can really come in handy for you in this case. Since marble is a natural stone, it has a durable quality, and when you construct your home with it, your home is able to withstand wind, rain, heat, and even fire.

Also, when you use marble in your homeware products, it is hard for them to get burned, scratched, or even stained. The durability makes marble environmental-friendly since you don’t have to keep extracting the material in case of damages, as marble is strong enough to withstand damages and can also be recycled.

Marble is Affordable

The affordability of marble is great for the environment. Many people can afford to use it, thereby avoiding other manufactured items that will affect the environment as they are being processed. Marble is a natural stone and therefore doesn’t require the use of the machine for extraction. This greatly helps you save on cost yet still preserves the environment.

Another thing which we mentioned earlier that also helps to make marble much affordable is that it doesn’t get damaged easily, and old pieces of marble can be recycled and used to make something else.

Marble provides great benefits to the environment and not only that, but is also safe and efficient to use in your home. Every person shares a responsibility to care for this environment for the sake of peaceful coexistence with nature, as well as for our future generations. Apart from marble being very practical in your home, it is also aesthetically strong and highlighting the beauty of your home in a natural way.

Marble counter tops have a reputation for being one of the most luxurious and expensive materials to use in our kitchen interior design, but you can still get the luxurious look without a heavy investment with a marble chopping boards. A marble cutting board is considered to be more hygienic than other conventional types of cutting boards. Marble is known to have a very hard and non-porous top surface which can dull knives a bit. But this impermeable characteristic makes it a preferred material for chopping boards. Here are some of the main benefits of using cutting boards made from marble.

Resistant to Bacteria
Since a marble cutting board has a smooth and non-porous surface, it prevents juices from raw meat or fish from seeping into the deeper layers of the board. Raw juices from meat and fish have blood and traces of bacteria that can easily multiply if not cleaned off thoroughly. By preventing such juices from getting stuck on the top and inner layers of the chopping board, you can prevent deadly microorganisms like Salmonella and E. coli from transferring into your food.

Easy to Clean
Another important benefit of marble chopping boards is that they can be easily cleaned with hot water and soap. Unlike wooden cutting boards, those that are made from marble will not warp when soaked in water.

Durable
A marble cutting board is very durable because it is made from a hard and long-lasting material. Its toughness can even exceed that of knives. To prevent damage to knives, the user should be a bit more careful when using this type of cutting board.
