Handmade Art Jewlery

    by Ana Biocic

 Okružena morem i prirodnim ljepotama Dalmatinske obale, moja inspiracija seze od kad god mogu pamtiti svoje pretke ili tek slucajne poznanike koji su vječito izradivali stvari svojim rukama koristeci samo prirodne materijale. Svojom bogatom ponudom, Jadransko more me uvijek fasciniralo I povlacilo na istrazivanje skoljaka i ostalih oblika morskog svijeta. Sjecam se sretnih trenutaka kada bi uspjela izroniti nekakvu skoljkicu, koja bi se danima proučavala za prepoznavalje vlastitog identiteta da bi se mogla uklopiti kao ukras u mom domu. Svatko ima razlicite ukuse I zelju za jedinstvenim nakitom. Raznolikost prirodnih materijala kao skoljka, kamen ili pero, dozvoljavaju svakom komadu nakita da budu jedinstveni, uklapajuci se u moju inspiraciju kreirati i posjedovati nesto prirodno i unikatno. 

Being surrounded by the sea and rural landscapes on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, I have been inspired to follow in my fond childhood memories of the locals in my community who built an array of handcrafted items using native materials.  With unlimited access to the sea, I have always been drawn to seashells and the hidden marine underworld. I recall the excitement I felt when I emerged from the sea with a new unique shell in my hand, knowing that would mark the beginning of the process of exploring its own unique identity and planning how it would be incorporated in my home décor.  Everyone desires to have a distinctive and natural piece of jewelry that is unique only to them.   The variety of natural materials used, such as shells, feathers and stone, allow for each piece to be one of a kind and in line with my resounding theme of being natural, unique and handcrafted with local materials.
