Textile Wonders

I love to look at new ways to use fabric and thread, and no better place than etsy to do that. Aroluna, one of the many talented etsy jewelers, put together this list of items I am proud to be part of. What a beautiful selection! Just take a look and if you can't live without one (or many) of this items, go to the etsy treasury page and you can access it from there.

I know I shouldn't say so myself but...

I am just in love with my Whimsical series of hand painted silk jewelry. So perfect for spring and summer.

I have to share!

Whimsical Necklace

My quest for smart jewelry designs using my hand painted silk has taken me to fun places!

There are many things I have known since childhood but have never given a second look. A lot of stuff that are just part of Brazilian folk crafts have just always been there, like my grandmother crochet bed spread, and have never really interested me.

It is fun to just look at things with a new eye. And that's what I did with yo-yos (or what in Brazil we call "fuxico" - spell fuh-shee-coo.) They are all made with silk I painted, and I finalized with a brass chain and clasp.


I think it would look great with a "boyfriend" white shirt and jeans, don't you?
