CartEssenza @ Bijoux d'Autore 2012 - Photos

Hello! How I promised I'll show you (in late, like always ^^') CartEssenza's photos at the inauguration of the exhibition of selected authors for Bijoux d'Autore 2012:

"The Way To Your Heart" -

It's been awesome to share this experience with many collagues, to finally meet some of them and to hug again friends I wasn't seeing from a long time...in particular the great Eleonora Battaggia (and with her Francesco Bernardin) of Caracol, that, hear ye, won two sections of the contest: in fact she is the winner in the Progettazione section and the first placed in the contest! Was a great emotion to be there and have the possibility to praise her: not just only cause she is my friend from years, but even because, knowing her work from a long time, it's even more clear how this recognition went to a person who never gave up and always put passion in her creations and life. ♥
Look on her blog the necklace "L'assedio" with which she enchanted the jury

And now...we'll see again in February 2012 at the Bijou Museum in Casalmaggiore! ;)

CartEssenza's Online Shop: finally open!

Too much cold to go out of home? Too far to come to meet me?
My favourite verb in this period is "to simplify", so:
I'm happy to introduce the new CartEssenza's online shop, that you can find at the link

cartessenza.bigcartel.com

I'm still updating the shop, but you can find already available some of the most known CartEssenza's works:

- "Bottoni" Brooches Big and Mid
- "I Tondi" Brooches to buy singularly or in 3 matching pieces at a special price
- "Gattino" Brooche
- "I Tondi" Rings Big and Small
- "Big Heart CartEssenza" Pendant and Earrings

...take a look at it! ;)

New Photo Shooting: CartEssenza Fall/Winter 2012*2013

I'm a very moody person, and consequently it is CartEssenza's project:

imagine to wake up in a bad mood, to drag yourself bored around the house, to work a bit sadly...then, suddenly, you look outside the window and you see that, even if it's winter, it's a stunning day.
Again: imagine to live near the sea and to sigh at the computer because you would like to take a walk. So take the phone, call your beautiful sister and say to her: "in two hours we meet at the beach, can we make some photos?" She, who is crazier than you, says yes...;) 

Now you know how I took these photos. I'm not a photographer, so they are not perfect. But still, inside them there are a lot of things: there's CartEssenza, there's a wonderful sunny day, there's the sea, there's the happiness of an afternoon we passed doing something different (and in some of them there's even me reflected in sunglasses, ahahah).

Enjoy! :)

I invite you to watch the complete album on CartEssenza's official profile on Flickr :)
