 Hi, my name is Yukiko. I'm a jewelry designer / metalsmith living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I studied Fine Art Sculpture in art college and explored working with various materials. Neon, bronze, steel, ceramics, handmade paper and glass are a few of the mediums I've worked with, but I've always been drawn to metal the most. After finishing up my art degree, I worked as a metalsmith for 10 years, during which time I was able to develop hands-on techniques which became valuable to me when opening my Etsy shop in the fall of 2010.

I create my pieces individually by hand using solid sterling silver at my home studio. Each piece is individually hand-textured, so no two are exactly alike. My inspiration comes from nature. I try to capture the beauty of natural forms in my designs. My creative process starts from a sketch, which is then transferred onto sterling silver by sawing, texturing, wire-wrapping and polishing - pretty much everything done by hand. I believe in maintaining high quality workmanship and also having a personal touch in the pieces I make. I pay attention to every aspect of the items I offer including gift-wrapping all of my pieces. I want my customers to have a magical moment when opening a package from my shop.

I have been making art since I was probably about 10, and teaching art for almost 20. I love all forms of art, but focus primarily on drawing, painting, and photography. At the present time I have particular obsession with New York City bridges.

Bridges have enabled the development of societies spanning the ages. As primitive as the log fallen over a ravine, the bridge enables communication between two seemingly separate components. It is the the third element which unites the two, creating something much greater than the sum of its parts.
Living in New York I am fortunate to be surrounded by numerous iconic bridges that enabled the development of New York City as a cultural, technological, as well as commercial hub of the world. I am struck by the majesty of the scale of these "gentle giants," imposing their presence over the NY waterways, like veins coursing with life, imbuing the boroughs with life and character.
In my work I tend toward engaging compositions using skewed perspectives to challenge as well as humble the viewer by conveying the extraordinary mass of these structures, forcing the viewer to look with a renewed vision at these amazing feats of modern engineering. Vibrant colors, tones and textures soak the rigid geometries and give life to these otherwise lifeless structures. It is through its utility that the bridge generally has meaning and significance, I am seeking to liberate it from this narrow view and imbue the structure with life.

 Handmade lampwork beads, jewelry and ceramics

Candan Imrak at her studio

I attended lampwork bead making classes as a hobby at Kurshuni in Turkey, to bring some color to my stressful professional life. In 2005 after my retirement, I moved with my family to a small town on a peninsula facing the Mediterranean and the Aegean sea in Turkey. In that beautiful environment, my husband set me up a small studio next to our house.

At first, I started making lampwork beads and jewelry as gifts to my friends but that soon became a rather expensive hobby so I decided to open an ETSY shop and share my designs with the whole world. Having an online shop is a wonderful experience, as I got to meet people from around the globe and share the same interests. It also makes me very happy to see and meet the people who have bought and wear my designs.

I use the best glass rods, high quality leather and findings in the market  as I take great pride in creating each one of these lampwork beads and jewelry from start to finish.

Animal & Flower Jewelry from Sweden

The jewelery making started on a fluke, when I was studying textile art and needed something to sell on our Christmas market. I was shocked by how well it went as I sold almost everything. At that time, I actually didn't think so much about it until it was time for the next Christmas market at the university. From there it slowly grew on me, until my boyfriend said I should start up an Etsy shop, and here we are!

My biggest inspiration is the Scandinavian nature and fauna up here in the north. I also love looking at animals and plants that cant be found in this region.
 

I often start by drawing the old fashion way on paper and then continue digitally making a pattern or a nice composition based on my drawings. Then I scan my work, make some tweaks in the computer and the finally print is transferred to shrink plastic and finally I cut them out by hand.
Finding printable shrink plastic has been a huge life changer! When I fist started I used to draw directly on to the plastic, but it was hard to get as fine lines and detail I wanted. That's why I'm now completely in love with printable plastic, it looks so much better!
When I feel lost and I don't know what to draw, I like to take a trip to the Botanical garden that has plants from all over the world. Its calm and serene with lots of great places to sit with my sketchbook. Another personal favorite place of mine, is the natural history museum, that has many stuffed animals that are both creepy yet extremely fascinating.

I'm a fashion designer, living and working in Tel Aviv, Israel. I'm self-taught when it comes to fashion, and everything I know is from small courses, fashion and art magazines and just by walking around.
I believe that fashion should make you feel good and help you express yourself and show the world who you are.
I also believe comfort is an important element at any point during the day, therefore the fabrics that are been used are natural and comfortable. Mostly delicate fabrics create a structure with body movement, as well as the shapes and cuts.

My agenda is to create clothes that will accompany you, items that will make you develop a sentimental feeling just because they make the body look and feel so great that they let you concentrate on what really matters.
