What gave you the idea about opening an etsy shop: I already had my shops on the other makers platforms, but Etsy is the biggest one so it was a must to do thing to open on Etsy.
Is this a hobby of your or do you do this full time?: in the meantime I don’t have a lots of orders to be full time busy with, so at this moment it’s pure creativity when you have your ideas and you make them real with no hurry.
What kind of items do you sell in your shop: in my shop I sell mainly jewelry made with Murano glass pieces, that I create personally melting the glass in my little kiln or in the oxygen torch, and Sterling Silver findings. I’m very proud of my items as it’s shapes and color combs are the results of my creativity and artistic research, the quality of materials I use is important as well.
Your favorite item that you sell: it’s difficult because they all are my babies :-) but maybe this one It was inspired by A.Grin’s novel “Scarlet Sails” that teaches to follow ours dreams.
