Etsy

Welcome to my Etsy shop!
My name is Eva and I am coming from Athens-Greece. I just got my degree in Agricultural biotechnology and on September 2011 I moved to Wageningen- the Netherlands for an Msc in Organic agriculture. Combining art and science sometimes can be really harsh, but I am still interested in both, and I am trying hard to find my way into this!!! However, this situation explains a lot when my shop is empty or when I cant accept custom orders....I wish I had more than 24 hours in my day!:):)
Anyway.....here is a short story about me:
Creating things has always been a pleasure.I did it,since I can remember my self,and when I was 8, I "run" my first street shop,for 4 years,every June,July,August...in winter time I remember walking around with my mom,in Athens market places,looking for new clay beads and other materials I thought could match!In summer time I was meeting my best friend Marigela,in Andros island,and we were collecting shells,little useless bottles,and other staff and for three months we were running our little shop,just like professionals, recycling and creating!
Then,came the polymer clay,and we were thrilled!We made necklaces,magnets,hair clips,rings,earrings and almost everything that you can do using polymer clay...
So this is my favourite material to work with,even now!!!Cause it reminds me of my childhood,and always gives me new ways to express my ideas,in the most playful way!
Four months after "opening" my shop on Etsy,I came up with the thought of a clay vitreau - mosaic. As far as I know, this idea is completely new and so far, I find it great to experiment on, improving the details and the way I use the color palette...
Hopefully, you ll also find my ideas interesting!
Enjoy your "stay" and have a nice day!!
