The vintage needle package

Some days ago I bought some needles and they came with this great vintage packaging....

Happy Birthday Daily Art!!

Last spring, after trying for about a year and a half to find a job, I decided that I had nothing to lose by opening a page on Etsy and sell some of the jewelry I was making as a hobby. So, on june 26th of 2012 I finally opened my Etsy shop! 

The project that started as "why-not-try-it" thing, became a brand and a profession with two main ingredients: hard work by my side and people that helped in my many ways for Daily Art by Angelina to continue and become bigger day by day.

Thank you all for your help and support!!

Even better things are coming.... ;-)

The sparkle that caught my eye....

One shiny sunday noon I was walking in Athens and suddenly a multicolor shine caught my eye! 

It was a pin cushion full of colorful pearl sewing pins on the working table of a clothes repair shop....

New display case!

Yesterday I made the new display case in the shop where I sell my jewelry. 

For the decoration I used tissue paper for the stands, paper jewelry boxes, glass and glasses, tea cups and spoons.

Take a look....

Frida Kalho

I like Frida Kalho so much. I love her work, her character, her personal style... so one day, some months ago, as I was reading another book about her I thought "why not make a Daily Art by Angelina collection inspired by Frida Kalho's work and style?!".

In the collection I used colors and symbols from her work and the clothes she wore, and got inspired by the forms of her jewelry and the shapes in her paintings to create my own shapes and forms for my designs.

Brooches, earrings and necklaces with lots of skulls, nature, nice fabrics and a quiet more minimalistic approach.

A nice detail is the newspaper I used for my liquid glass pieces, which was in spanish.

Designing...!

Designing day today!

A praise to music!

You can tell that one of my favorite themes/ispirations for my designs is music!
