Miniatures - New crazy hobby

I know this blog is about jewellery. But there is a new hobby that I got hooked into.

Is there no end to unleash our creativity?

There are so many things that fade away with time. So many things that I have enjoyed in Indian villages especially in my state.



The above are the miniatures of such things. These are the equipments that  were used to grind, pound spices in those days when there was no electricity.

These were made out of stone and lasted long and no dependency on power. Not to mention the taste. When the masalas where ground or pounded in these, they tasted awesome.

They were called (from left to right) ural, aatukal and ammikal.

A tribute to traditional  equipments that gave us a good exercise plus a great taste when food was ground in them.
