5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love these wind spinners. They look absolutely stunning hanging from the trees in my garden and it’s such a clever concept upcycling old CDs in this way. Thank you Matsa

2 out of 5 starsThis item was plastic and cheaply made for the price I paid.
Matsa responded on Sep 11, 2021
The item was clearly described as being made from CDs, which are, of course, plastic. All items in my shop are described in great detail very transparently, including how the items are made. This allows buyers to make an informed choice before purchase. I create and sell one-of-a-kind artwork pieces, each of which requires a lot of labour, time and care to complete. The item price reflects this. I offered full refund according to my shop’s policy (full refund upon return of item). However, the buyer did not respond in 2 months, nor did they ship the item back for refund.

As long as one lives it's never too late to start a new beginning
I recently moved from Canada to Czechia, so I had to open a new Etsy shop. I chose to name it Unique Art Gifts by 3xRE to preserve a connection with my first shop - 3xRE.
In the first part of my career I was a lawyer by trade and by mistake :), then a free-lance language tutor and translator by survival necessity in a foreign country and never meant to be an artist.
And then I retired, and for a while lost my direction…
Over time, I had many hobbies and as long as I remember, I loved making stuff with my own hands, from sewing to knitting and crochet to restore, renovate or even make pieces of furniture.
Nevertheless, several years ago I found new purpose in life in crafts and painting. Actually, I started with painting and then accidentally discovered and got hooked on decoupage, papier/paper mache and paper (mache) clay, mixed media, digital visual arts... But, these new techniques and skills, I got to learn through courses and relentless experimentation that led me to fall in love with making art from everything and anything my eye can catch. As Pablo Picasso says: “The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web".
Since up-cycling, or in other words re-use, re-purpose, re-cycle waste and found objects, became my incentive and my passion, you will find in our shop various artworks created from many kinds of different materials: (news)paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, etc.
My favorite raw material is trash paper and papier/paper mache as well as paper mache clay (or simply paper clay). They are the main techniques I employ in creating most of my featured artworks. And being a DIY person I craft it on my own. In a couple of videos on my YT channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2sEU0TUaJ0W_ty8yPKPSw you can see how I make paper mache clay and some other items offered in the shop like necklace pendants, wind chimes, bowls.
Apart from all that, another passion of mine is mixed media art done digitally and I especially love playing with my own paintings creating printable posters.
Thank you for visiting! I hope you will enjoy walking around our shop :) !
