Unconventional handmade unique fun bags and pouches
My Story
I am a self taught crafter living in Athens, Greece.
My passion for crafting has started many years ago as a way of expressing my creativity and sharing emotions with the people I love. I spend most of my spare time experimenting by making things by hand, sewing, embroidering, beading, painting, decoupage, collage, rag rug making, jewelry making and whatever inspires me - all of this ultimately turning into a unique bag, pouch or other creative items.
Style
My personal style is an extension of who I am. I see myself as a person who enjoys artistic, colourful, unique and timeless pieces which also convey at first glance a sense of being comfortable, elegant and outstanding. I surely love to express my inspiration of the moment on art work. Every piece is often a reflection of my feelings. While often patterns may be effortless and versatile, they definitely do tell a story.
In a world dominated by mass produced items, I am expressing my "Apopsis”; my point of view in my native language, Greek.
Inspiration
Finding the potential of each material and turning it in a unique piece of art is my driving force and inspiration.
Anything that surrounds me, everyday life, people, objects, buildings, magazines, art, and other designers work too. A piece of paper, a dried leaf, a drift wood, a pebble can all light a sparkle of inspiration. When I see and touch a useless object, spare fabric, even old magazines I do treat them with respect and reconsider any aspect that can give them a new form of life. Its like a game. Its fun, creative and brain stimulating
But above all, the wealth of nature is the ultimate gift and inspiration to me, which I strive to convey in the most beautiful and unique forms to all around me.
