What got you started crafting?

I always loved sewing.
My mum is a dressmaker and I used to look at her art work when I was a little girl.
I studied fashion in Milan and then I opened my Etsy shop...a big adventure!

What is your source of inspiration?

Everything! Movies, tv series, books, fairy tales, music.
In this period, I love watching tv series, especially "Once Upon a time".
The Little red riding hood wool cape is inspired from it :)

What have you made recently?

I started a new wedding dress: I had all these little pieces of laces, organza, chiffon,etc... but I didn't know what to do with them!
So I decided to drape all these pieces on the dressform and... voitlà! A fairy romantic wedding dress :)
I love romantic wedding dresses and this one is perfect for a bride who loves fairy tales (again "Once upon a time" inspired)

It's not listed in my shop yet, but it will be soon.

Why are handmade crafts important to you?

Handmade is the future.
