Interview with a Star, Tamara from MagazinIL

Today we'd like to introduce a wonderful shop to you where a new mom can find great crochet jewelry for herself and her baby. If you need a thoughtful gift for a baby shower, this is the place to visit. Please welcome Tamara, owner of MagazinIL on etsy. 

Please tell us a little bit about yourself

My name is Tamara Martynovich. I was born and raised in Ukraine but when I was 17 years old my family moved to Israel where I live now. I'm married and have a wonderful husband and a great little son. Our french bulldog is part of our family, too :)

How long have you been creating? How did your journey in art and creativity begin?

My grandmother taught me to knit and crochet when I was 7 years old. My first works were far from perfect but these little lessons gave me a start. They were imprinted in my memory and in 20 years I took my knitting needles and crochet hooks in my hands again. I just had a baby at that time and I wanted to make him a sweater. A sweater was followed by a cap and then I crochet my first nursing necklace. From that time on I can not stop making these, I just fell in love with them! When I crochet, I am relaxing.

What items do you carry in your shop?

I do all kinds of teething necklaces, toys for children's development, baby hats and booties. A teething necklace is a wonderful piece of jewelry for every mom and a great toy for a baby. The baby's hands are busy during breast feeding so he does not pull his mother's hair and at the same time the child develops fine motor skills.

 
Do you have a favorite item you have made?

It's hard to choose just one thing from all my products. Probably, my favorite necklace is the one with a large wooden button. I made it as a gift for my friend and her newborn daughter. I have made similar necklaces so many times since then and every time I am having so much fun making them.

Do you take custom orders?

Yes, I do accept custom orders and I love working with them. Almost all the products in my store are made​​ individually according to the customers needs.
