Not all of you know but 6 months ago I started to make my own jewelry. I met an artesano called Marino on the streets in El Bolson and after meeting him again in El Chalten he offered me to teach me everything he knows. I always wanted to make my own jewels but I never knew where to start... you can imagine that I could't resist Marino's offer.
Dennis and I stayed 3 weeks more than planned in El Chalten. During the day Marino would teach me his craft and at night we would go out and sell it in the local bars and hostels. I learned SO much during our stay in El Chalten!
As soon as we got to Buenos Aires I bought my own materials and started working on my own creations. I've already sold a lot of my work on the streets. And I can proudly say that I developed my own style.
About my work:
I work with natural materials such as gem stones, feathers, seeds, alpaca and copper. My work is made by hand and therefore always unique.
My work is always directly connected with the country I'm in. A different country means different materials and different things that influence me, so that's why every piece has a own story and meaning behind it.
I hope you enjoy my work:
