Giving-up a lucrative career to pursue your passion is things that dreams are made off. But seldom does one come across such a person who has it in them to do just that, and follow their heart. We, at Team Newspost, were fortunate to bump into vivacious Arshleen Kaur Sabharwal, armed with a B.Ed Degree, from a well-to-do family in Dehradun gave it all up to pursue her passion of creating craft out of discarded material.
Reuse, Recycle and Recreate is her leitmotif.
Taking about her art, Arshleen briefs us, “Nature is my inspiration. My grandfather gave me the idea of turning glass bottles into gift items, an idea which set me rolling and I haven’t looked back since then.“
Today the young lady is on a roll. In a one room-studio in her home in Dehradun called ‘Arshleenz Creation,’ this young lady creates magic with her hands, turning waste into pieces of art. She was also felicitated by the Manorma Dobriyal Sharma Award for bringing about change and awareness in the society for recycling products and customising them at low cost. An idea which has caught the fancy of plenty of schools in the valley who arrange workshops and camps for their students with Arshleen to assist and guide them.
Arshleen’s favourite tools of work are glass bottles, wool, newspapers, plastic, anything you think is waste, is an idea which inspires Arshleen to create something beautiful out of it.
Some of the items made by Arshleen are Bottle planters, Sprinklers, Bird-feeders which she can customise as per her customer requirements. And adding another feather to her cap, Arshleen also makes customise props for marriages, birthday parties and theme parties as well. Her motto, “you dream, Ill design” is a trend which is making her famous not only amongst her peer group and friends but growing number of buyers from not only Dehradun but foreign shores as well.
