Hello,I am Katja, creator of made by Pixies.
That pearl earring that fell between the floorboards, the piece of indigo ribbon that slid off the parcel, pieces of paua shell no one picked up on the beach… They’re all treasures to the Pixies.
They love rich colours, unusual shapes, beautiful materials, and are always on the look-out for glitter and glam. Their discoveries are their most precious possessions. whether it's a fabulous feather, a new tone of deep vibrant green, or a stylish silver spoon…
The Pixies travel the world in the glove compartment or hiding under the spare wheel, out of sight in the train driver’s lunchbox… but when they come home, our workshop is their safe haven. They accept to trade their goodies for food and shelter… and sometimes a glass of wine too!
The Pixies are adamant that only buyers with a truly discerning eye will recognize the workmanship that has gone into producing any of their pieces. Their craft can be understood only by those with the same passion for hand made and sense of what is wise (for people, planet or other)…
The cutlery I use carries the traces of its past (scratches etc.). Handstamping means each letter or design is stamped individually. Therefore they will not all be exactly the same depth or perfectly aligned. That is the beauty of handmade.
I use a non-toxic water-based enamel to blacken the imprints. It will fade over time but the stamping will last forever.

Bonjour,
Je suis Katja, la créatrice de made by Pixies.
Les elfes de made by Pixies courent le monde à la recherche d’objets précieux : laines et fibres d’exception, perles de cristal, coquillages paua, paillettes, glitz ou couverts en argent. Ces trouvailles sont leurs trésors, appréciés par les amateurs de qualité et de véritable savoir-faire. Ce butin rapporté des cinq continents jusqu’à mon atelier devient la matière première de créations innovantes et ludiques, que je personnalise au gré de mon imagination ou pour répondre à vos souhaits.
Le résultat ? Des objets uniques, précieux, porteurs de sens et des messages. Ces objets personnalisables attendent vos messages pleins d'émotions.
Les couverts que j'utilise portent les traces de leur passé (usure, griffures...). L'estampillage (gravure) à la main fait d'eux des objets uniques et personnalisés. Cela veut aussi dire que les lettres et les motifs ne seront pas toutes de la même profondeur ou parfaitement alignés. C'est ce qui fait la beauté du travail artisanal.
Pour noircir les lettres et les motifs, j'utilise un émail non toxique à base d'eau. Il s'effacera au fil du temps, c'est normal, mais la gravure, elle, restera.
