Aarthi Sivaramakrishnan’s hobby was painting on glass bottles. When her bottle art found takers on Facebook, she began creating utilitarian objects out of them. “I realised lampshades were a good idea as one could create them without changing the bottle’s structure. It gave me a wide range of things to play around with and the novelty factor too helped me,” she recalls.
