Interview with a star - Aleksa (CitrusCat)

Today, we'd like to introduce our team member Aleksa who runs CitrusCat shop on Etsy.


- Please tell us a little bit about yourself
What can I tell about myself?
I'm 23, I have a young, ambitious and full of hope for a brighter future. :)
By education I am a psychologist, but psychology does not attract me as a profession.
I'm a self taught handmade artist trying to turn my favorite hobby into life style and profession.
I create unusual jewelry. But sometimes I move in the other direction. Spontaneously I can start making greeting cards or decorative items for the home. In short, I am a creative person and quite unpredictable even to myself. I guess that's my trick.

- How long have you been creating? How did your journey in art and creativity begin?
I loved to make things since I was small. As far as I can remember as a child I drew a lot, asked my grandmother taught me to embroider. Then I wanted to make clothes and I wanted to be a designer.
My path to the creation of jewelry was long. At some point I started to sew felt brooches.


After a while I realized that I like to make jewelry and I started trying different techniques and materials.
Now I’m fond of creating resin jewelry. I chose this material and technique because it allows me to create different things without limiting the imagination.


In future I want to try to use other materials and techniques.

-What is the most important about your work?
I can identify several aspects that are important to my business. This is a good mood, inspiration, and support of my family
In my work I like the fact that I’m the owner of business and can do what I want.
No doubt, it creates a good mood which I put in my work.


One of the most important events for my business was opening a Citrus Сat shop on Etsy. This was a good incentive for me.


- What would you say makes your shop unique?
The original approach to the creation of my jewelry is making them unique.
I am a self-taught and eclectic artist, who works with a variety of techniques.
My jewelry is a world full of colors of life.
With my jewelry I want to make the world more beautiful and colorful.
I hope you enjoy my creations, as much as I enjoyed creating them!


Please come to my Citrus Cat (www.CitrusCat.etsy.com) store. And get a portion of happiness. :)

A life of a mother


When I was little I wanted to be held by her all the time; I needed her undivided non-stop attention. When I was a teenager I hated all those “Have you done your homework?” and “Make sure you are home by 9”. When I was heartbroken and miserable I needed her support. I enjoy talking with her when I have time to call. I know she wishes I called more often even though she does not say anything. Being a Mom is a very difficult job that is not always appreciated enough.


If you are a mother I inspire you to celebrate yourself this coming Mother’s day! Take time to appreciate all the hard work you do. Forgive yourself for the things you wish you had done differently. Give yourself credit for the many things you’ve been doing well. Buy yourself something you’ve always wanted. Do something that makes you happy. And don’t forget to call your mom.
