My jewellery items complemented this year's summer collection from Katrin Belen, a young and creative designer, who is not afraid to experiment with cuts and colours.
As a jewelry designer I became a huge lover of all sorts of handmade art. Whenever I travel to foreign countries I seek opportunities to visit places that are famous for local handicraft.
The beginning of April was very intense for me since I finally found the courage to "go to the people" and present my products at the Beaders Best 2016 in Stuttgart, Germany. It was a 3-day event organized by 'Perlen Poesie' within confines of the annual trade fair called Mineralien, Fossilien, Schmuck (minerals, fossils, jewelry).
Recently I visited an exhibition called "Modna i już – moda w PRL" ("FASHIONable in Communist Poland") at the National Museum in Cracow. To be honest, I couldn't wait to see it ever since I read an extremely interesting book "To nie są moje wielbłądy" by Aleksandra Boćkowska which studies that subject in details.
I didn't mean to publish on my blog every single trinket I made but my husband insisted on sharing my newest project with you so I had no choice. The story of these two small earrings is quite funny because initially I wanted them to look completely different. To tell the truth, I've created them a sort of accidentally.
Ever since I discovered soutache embroidery I am constantly refining my skills in this subtle jewelry-making technique. Something that initially was meant to be the cure for my daily routine has eventually become my deepest passion.
