Yelena from LenaMer is a great artisan jewelry designer and a silversmith from Israel. Her favorite styles are steampunk and boho.
She loves to play with shapes and
textures, colors and materials. Her works are unique and inspirational and if
you already own a piece made by her you will want to get another one.
It has been 4 years since we published an interview with her
here on this blog so we were interested
in what's been happening since. We contacted Yelena and are happy to see that
she is working hard on creating new beautiful designs.
Here is what she told us about herself and where she stands
right now:
It's been four years since my last interview. I remember that
time as if it was yesterday: after several years of silent watching, I finally
found the courage to open my Etsy shop and share my favorite designs with this
crowd of amazing and talented people obsessed with the same passion of creation
and appreciating the uniqueness of handmade. It was a difficult and scary step
to take, as the process of jewelry making was always very personal and intimate
for me.
It begins as an idea, or, more precisely - an echo, a shadow of a
thought, that slowly forms into something more tangible and then gets
transferred to a paper. Sometimes it took months for this thought to transform
into a real thing. And to share something so personal is never easy. But I met
a group of amazing people who were incredibly supportive and helpful. They
answered my questions and gave me tons of great advice and just hugs when I
needed them. I am very grateful to our wonderful Russian Artist Team! :)
Today, I feel much more comfortable with my Etsy shop. Through those years I
had some ups and downs, I met a lot of talented people, began to teach once
again, tried some different styles and techniques and learned more about
myself. As of now, my main feeling is that only the sky is the limit, when I
really want to achieve something.
Currently I keep working on my "Copper and Silver" collection.
Another piece of news is that I have a brand new site. You are welcome to
visit, and this is my new post about my studio: www.lenamer.com/blog/tour-my-workspace
