About me

...My creative inspiration is carried from flow of dreams and senses,- being mostly intuitive I let the vision of colors and feelings lead me on in creative process.

The details in my works are often attached with books I've read, people I hold dear, moments captured in my mind and colors all around.

At my digital compositions I use details and images painted in Photoshop with Wacom Tablet, photos I have taken over the years, Poser figures and patterns created with Apophysis. Some scanned and altered details are from my vintage ephemera collection, lace, antique paper/fabrics and my original embroidery designs.
I started making embellished handbags about 8 years ago , when could not find a purse suitable to my eveningwear.
I' ve never made any bags or jewelry exactly alike, so every work is always unique and exiting. As a former jeweler, I could not resist the idea of making jewelry out of those brocade, silk and lace scraps - bag making leftovers.I have been collecting vintage lace, buttons, ribbons and fancy, decorated dresses about 10 years. Many of them are "hunted" from second- hand boutiques, washed, cut into pieces, sorted by color and material and preserved in tagged boxes and closets in my studio. I love to try out and mix different materials and techniques - I could call the mixture of these techniques- "intuitive sewing" and most of the work is done by hand.
I get lots of ideas from historical costumes- ball gowns and accessories of past centuries, especially Victorian Era and Art Nouveau rich decorated dresses. Sometimes I watch movies over and over to see beautiful vintage dresses exposed there :-) Old mansion interiors, antique costume jewelry and vintage millinery techniques are an endless source of inspiration.
