"I exist. Everything else remains to be seen."

*English text below
Τον τελευταίο καιρό ήμουν σιωπηλή εδω. Δούλευα πάνω σε κάτι που αποδείχθηκε πολύ πιο μεγάλο απ’ όσο φανταζόμουν.
Φτιάχνω έναν χώρο — περισσότερα γι’ αυτόν παρακάτω — και οταν τον βρηκα ειχα ενα οραμα: κυκλαδίτικες εντοιχισμένες εσοχές! Ένα όραμα που, όμως, δεν μπορούσα να υποστηρίξω 💰 😜.

Έτσι, έπρεπε να εμπιστευτώ το άγνωστο και να μάθω νέα πραγματα. Τελικά, όμως, αποδείχθηκε κάτι πολύ περισσότερο από αυτό... Ήταν δύσκολο και κάποιες φορές έφτασα κοντά στην απόγνωση, αλλά όλο αυτό με δίδαξε.

Να ακολουθώ αυτό που με ενθουσιάζει περισσότερο. Το μονοπάτι φτιάχνεται περπατώντας το.
Να είμαι ευγενική με τον εαυτό μου και να αφιερώνω χρόνο για να γιορτάζω τις μικρές μου νίκες.
Να αποδέχομαι λίγο περισσότερο την ολότητά μου και να της επιτρέπω να φαίνεται.

Και τώρα, ξέρω ακριβώς πώς θέλω να είναι αυτός ο χώρος, μαζί με τον ψηφιακό του αντίστοιχο.
Ένα μέρος για να συναντιόμαστε, να δημιουργούμε κοσμήματα, τέχνη και περιεχόμενο γύρω από αυτά, να μιλάμε για σύμβολα, πλανήτες και σημάδια, όνειρα και επιθυμίες.
Ένα μέρος για να μοιραζόμαστε.

Ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ 🙏🏻 στον που έβαλε τον σπόρο, τα εργαλεία και τα εφοδια!

I've been so silent here lately. I was working on something that it turned out to be more than I could think of.
I am making a space -more about it shortly- and when I found it, I had a vision for cycladic in-wall selves. A vision I couldn't afford though 😜.

So I had to take a leap of faith, to learn and apply new crafts but it came out to be so much more than that... It was tough and I came close to despair a few times, but I kept going and this process taught me a lot.

To follow my highest excitement. The path is made by walking it.
To be kind to myself and take the time to celebrate my small wins.
To accept a little bit more of my wholeness and allow it to be seen.

And now, I know exactly how I want this space, along with this digital one, to be.
A place to come together, to create jewelry, art and content around them, to talk about symbols, planets and signs, dreams and desires.
A place to share.

*A big thank you 🙏🏻 to for planting the seed and providing the tools and resources!

Long time no see...
It was mid February when I last posted here and now the Spring Equinox is right around the corner 🌸.
The reason behind my absence is that for the last month I 'm immersed into a new incredibly exciting project. But more on that soon...

For now enjoy the sunshine 🌞♡

Newbies under ther Zero Waste collection!
Hand-fabricated one by one from recycled sterling silver using an experimental and randomness-embracing technique to imprint sea shells I collect on molten silver.

The Rebirth Ring is the first piece I upload in 2025 and ironically the the final part of the Metamorphosis Journey collection.
I have this ring ready and photographed for quite sometime now. But this collection and its timing (when every piece is uploaded) are so much personal; this somehow is my own journey along the way. And I was quite hesitant to upload this final piece, I was stuck in the previous step, the 'pause', scared to take the leap of faith needed for a new beginning.
I am still scared but this is my New Year resolution!

Love
Ioanna

Going backwards...
The result ->
Me trying to figure out what I've got ->
The thought that gave the spark to make it.

This is what I've been making lately, alongside with jewelry.

Art makes my heart sing ever since I can remember me. But I 've never felt it was something worth sharing it until lately.

Because lately, the pull of it on me is getting stronger and more consistent. And when I engage in it I feel I'm in the zone; I don't think, I'm just participating into something bigger than me.

I've been also contemplating whether to post this work here or create a new account and website. So, I asked ChatGPT about it and its suggestion was to start from here and see where this takes me. And this go-with-the-flow AI's approach resonates with me.

More of this is definitely coming!
