ABOUT ME , MY JEWELLERY AND LITTLE THINGS
![Picture](/uploads/2/3/3/0/23302794/1397068465.jpg)
I come from Slovakia but since February 2014 I live in a beautiful country, NORWAY.
I love colours, and adore unique and extraordinary things . I am self-taught and multi-skilled artist and since I remember I have always wanted to be create things, which would bring joy not just me but other people as well. Of course, it took me some time to realize, that this is the path I should follow, and ART is what makes my life brighter and happier. I have decided to share my colourful inner world with all of you. This is my happy bubble, enjoy it and I will be happy that you want to be a part of it.
In 2004, when working as a manager and owner of a language school I re-found creativity after burn out and I got my life back. I became fascinated and obsessed with wire jewellery. My passion grew everyday, and after some time wire and beads were just not enough anymore. I decided to try metalsmithing and tiffany technique (soft eco-friendly tin soldering). I have attended a few jewellery courses but the greatest fun for me was, and still, is when I am allowed to do my own experiments using various techniques and come up with something new, and unique.
In 2011 I created a space for creative people called PoTvoRa in Bratislava ( which is a pun in Slovak language - long explanation). I was organizing creative courses for adults and kids. Teaching them various techniques with a bunch of lectures and my fellow artists. What an experience it was! Unfortunately, no matter how much I loved this job second burn out hit me. It was just before we moved to Norway and after some months later I had say good bye to PoTvoRa for good. It was a very hard decision because it was the job of my dreams. But I had to move on. Art saved me again. I kept making jewellery and started drawing and painting again, after many, many years. As we moved to Norway I had to start from the scratch. I began attending handmade markets in the area where I live, meeting new people, getting to know Norwegian culture, falling in love with Norwegian wild and rough nature and getting inspired by its beauty.
JEWELLERY:
I adore natural stones and semi-precious stones and like using them in my work.
I design and make all my jewellery pieces myself. Some techniques allow me to make them in limited editions but for example my soldered jewellery is unique and most of the pieces are one of a kind. Many pieces can not be repeated because of the technique I use. And I prefer making pieces that have their own story to tell.
ILLUSTRATIONS, PAINTINGS and DECORATIONS:
I have been drawing and painting for a bigger part of my life ( I had some break though, but I found the way to start again)
My drawings reflect my inner world, my feeling and state at the time, stories that are hidden inside my soul and want to get out. If any speaks to you, that will make my heart sing and my inner child dance.
DECORATIONS:
From time to time I feel like making a small collection of decorations. It varies really and I never know what fleshes of inspiration come to me.
I really wish I could stick with one technique and style but for me it is just not possible. I am a person who wants to try everything and likes almost every kind of material. That is why there is such a great variety of styles in my work. I hope you will find your little goody to wear or just to spoil yourself with.
I will be more than happy, if my jewellery and other little things make your day.
THANK YOU for your support and any little purchase, comment or like. That feeling that my work help someone, somewhere to feel better and give him/her joy, encourages me and keeps me creating.

STORY of my eco tin soldered jewellery
![Picture](/uploads/2/3/3/0/23302794/1569284.jpg?299)
I believe that wishes are powerful, no matter how small they are. They are subtile just like a feather from an angel's wing but when you start believing in them they can become strong and change your life completely. Start to believe in your little wishes and I am sure, that everyday at least one will come true, so you can be closer to your DREAMS. So far I was lucky because the majority of my wishes came true or are comming true. To strenghten my wishes I started to hide little words and thoughts and desires in my jewellery. And guess what? It not even looked great but it worked.
Do you want to strenghten your wishes? Wear them as a unique piece of jewellery!
MAKE A WISH.
BELIEVE IN IT.
LET IT HAPPEN.
My eco friendly tin soldered jewellery is unique and each piece is one of a kind, because of the technique I use and because I do not like making the same things again and again. I find It boring and not creative at all. When making my jewellery I am playing and caressing with every single detail, so you can enjoy it as much as I do. Yes, my jewellery, looks rough but this is the way I like it, so you can see every my touch :) I combine tiffany, wabi-sabi and metalsmithing techniques.
Custom order requests accepted. I will be pleased to help your WISHes come true. Do not hesitate to contact me.
