ABOUT SELLER

Hi, I am Shirali the artist behind the Small Idea gift store. Whimsical ideas, quirky designs, utilitarian products with a touch of humour and temptingly realistic miniature characterize my work. The realistic look of my product is imitated from original forms found in day to day life. My work is often imbued with minute and painstakingly applied details, food miniatures is my favourite recurring theme. I use real food as an inspiration to create realistic miniature in polymer clay which is then designed into a different unique gifts and products. These whimsical craft novelties makes very unique gifts whether its a gift for dad or a xmas presents. Having lived in Asia, Middle east and Africa, I draw inspiration from many cultural landscapes of my life-path.
