This abundant dripping pearls chandelier is made out of the sails of our former home S/Y Melquiades and is a tribute to my seagoing years and adventures. ⛵
It reminds me of that unique lightness after many hours at sea, your feet pleasantly floating on the land, only half earthed. That twilight between the practical mini universe on board and the flamboyant cosmopolitan lifestyle in the cities where we moored.
Like that brilliant night when we arrived in Venice after a rolling crossing from Croatia. We anchored right next to the Maria della Salute. It was a magical entrance, sun setting above glistering buildings through dramatic thunderstorm clouds.
However hands-on a boat may be, my wardrobe never lacked high heels and fancy dresses to fit any occasion. 💃Quickly we dressed up and rowed our rapidly leaking dinghy to shore to find an almost abandoned city.
We drifted round the corner onto an empty San Marco square, music flowing from a string quartet playing right in the center of it, some couples floating on their music like slow motion tornadoes....

Autumn colors in an elegant Tulipière from the Flower Gem series.
I pictured this abundant necklace resting on the decolleté of a motherly queen with this wonderful weathered skin abiding life!

The reference piece kitchen chimney is the heart of the design of our soul farm. A wall jewel full of tales. Conversation starter. Love story. Soulfood. Ritual design. Altar for foodies.😋

The past months we have been transforming the guest quarters in @MaselsIgols to a soulful World of Iris'. It is such an amazing challenge to fill a 400 m2 blank canvas with my art and design! 🖌️
In this slightly megalomaniac project we are energizing the 'Soul Farm' to a warm 15 person guest house and a safe haven for meaningful retreats. Boosting the spaces with stories and our passion for beauty and hospitality🥰😘
The coming days I will share some post with the progress!

I am a ceramicist and need lot's of energy to create my work. I also love this planet and want it saved for the future. That is why we installed a large solar installation on the roof fueling my kiln on the 309 anual Spanish sunny days. In my shop all ceramics are ecofriendly!
I can not say it enough: Follow your green heart!💚

'Silphium flower'
Studying the heart symbol I mostly enjoyed reading about it's similarity to the shape of the now extinct plant Silphium that in Greek ancient history was known for its aphrodisiac qualities.
The flower was 'worth it's weight in gold, and much more.' Because it opened the gates to 'the "madness" of love...' This all powerful feeling of "madness" that 'can inspire, electrify, posses, overwhelm, enchant, empower, encourage, change, connect, create...'
Isn't love the most beautiful thing that you can give or receive? Please PM for orders! 😉❤️

When we moved to our huge farm house in Spain almost seven years ago, the first thing we constructed from the mess was my art studio. It have been roller-coaster-years ever since, but my second-skin-workplace was always there as the perfect hide-out. 🌄
Thank you so much dear hubby for your construction efforts and for understanding that 'a happy wife is a happy life!'🙃😜!🙏🙏😍

Over time humans have created many rituals with a wide array of purposes. As a ritual designer and ceramicist I am particularly fascinated by Rites of Passage. These rites aim to initiate the life-adventurer in the rules and emotions of the newly acquired status and to affirm that on return to 'normal life' the initiated adventurer is as good as reborn.
One of the main functions of myths and rituals is to provide symbols that help to develop the human mind; to create anchors in the mind that counter-balance the desire to drop back to the old self and slow down personal growth.
My wall jewels are landmark symbols that remind you of a fulfilled personal quest.

Last week I was contacted by a sweet friend. She is taking care of a very close friend who is terminally ill. Her wish was to give a present before she went, a symbol to accompany her on her passage.
What I heard in her story was how hard it was for them to talk about the end of life. That although they were going through such a personal and intense process, it was hard to talk about the obvious elephant in the room.
We discussed my observation and decided together that this present could work as a conversation starter between them. A ritual to share their experience and make their process more whole.
I am very grateful that I could contribute to the last phase of their friendship on earth as a ritual designer...🙏

Do you recognize this energetic vibrant feeling that something is about to change? A feeling of falling in love again, that spring is in the air, that it is just the right time to get dressed up!
They are moments that I just have to get my lipstick out and drape my shiniest jewelry around me. Even if I just go out to get groceries!
I am totally having this feeling right now! A feeling that a new beginning is on the way and I have to get my highest fashion out for the occasion.
My first symbolic act was to put 'Necklace for Janus' on my wall. An ode to the god of new beginnings. And now up to my closet to jump into something fancy.

'It’s not the job of the artist to give the audience what the audience wants. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need.' (Alan Moore)
Somehow I feel 2020 was exactly this, not what I wanted, but what I needed.
Above all it felt like a humbling year. A year to sit still and reconsider, find new purpose, take in and transmit years of overdue emotions and ideas and to be bored. I feel boredom is such a great source for creativity. I have been so productive. 🙏
2020 also opened up a whole new realm of possibilities to connect and the digital social networks gave me horizons, not only to start new friendships, it helped me to share my stories and helped me to grow my art business.
I have had to open myself to be helped, to be loved, to be humble. I am part of this ecosystem of love and be loved, help and be helped, give and receive.
So, goodbye unforgettable 2020. And thank you for being a turning point teacher!
