Dear Artisan Treasures Hunters,
Let me introduce myself and tell you how I started my shop. My name is Eugenia. I am originally from Ukraine but I now live and work in Lombardy, Italy.
I have been always fascinated by the ingenuity and imagination of the human mind needed for creating beautiful, handcrafted items. Growing up during communism and the deficit of the essentials I learned at a young age to make and fix things. I learned how to knit, crochet, sew, paint, and create simple souvenirs as gifts. I learned everything from my mother as she did from hers. As they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention" and so, craftsmanship has always been in my blood.
I first became passionate with jewelry making when I happened to see a video tutorial on how to make paper beads. I was intrigued by the idea and decided to make them myself. Branching out, I then created some simple necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. I got completely absorbed by the creative process. Over time, I added more types of beads, stones, and other materials like strings and cords. Eventually I incorporated wires of various metals. I continued to learn new techniques such as macrame, knots, weaving, wire, hammered finishes, etc. and to experiment with different materials until I honed in on my own unique style.
Nowadays I make exclusive and customized jewelry made simply of pure metals or enriched by beads and stones.
Being a perfectionist by nature, I always invest in the best tools and highest grade materials to be able to create beautiful, trendy items of superior quality. Each creation is born of emotion or momentary inspiration, encouraged either by my mood or the events of the day.
Occasionally I take part in fairs and weekend markets in nearby towns and I am very pleased to see that people appreciate my work.
I love the idea that my creations can be worn by people all around the world in faraway countries. It is incredible that someone can fall in love with an item to the point of purchasing it, just seeing its photograph on the internet.
Hope that you too may find something that will make you fall in love!
I will be glad to see you in my store time after time.
With love,
Eugenia Vorobyova
