The Story Behind Our Brand: How Polymer Clay Jewellery Became My Creative Path
Every handmade brand has its own beginning—often quiet, unexpected, and deeply personal. My story started in 2012, when I was on maternity leave with my children. Surprisingly, it was my husband, Igor, who first introduced me to polymer clay. Back then, I had no idea that this simple moment would become the start of a long creative journey.
Discovering the Magic of Flower Sculpting
Once I became curious, I dove into the world of tutorials, techniques, and inspiring creations. I was especially captivated by the realism of cold porcelain flowers made by talented artisans. Their work looked so natural and delicate that I wanted to try making my own.
As a busy mom with little time for shopping, I decided to make cold porcelain myself. I found a recipe online, mixed the ingredients, and chose roses as my first project—thinking it would be easy. It wasn’t! But my perfectionism wouldn’t let me stop. I sculpted one rose after another, coloring the porcelain with red lipstick (the only “paint” I had). I reshaped each flower again and again until the results finally made me proud.
My first finished arrangement went straight to my son’s kindergarten, where the teachers loved it. Their reaction gave me confidence and encouraged me to continue creating.
Why I Switched to Polymer Clay
Despite its beauty, cold porcelain has one big disadvantage: it’s very sensitive to moisture. That’s why I eventually switched to oven-bake polymer clay. My first clay was a Polish brand called Plastishka—affordable and perfect for practicing.
With polymer clay, I discovered endless possibilities. I learned to blend colors, sculpt tiny details, and create flowers that looked realistic yet durable enough to wear every day.
The First Sale I’ll Never Forget
The very first piece I sold was a crocus bracelet. That moment changed everything for me. It showed me that my hobby could become something more—a craft, a passion, and eventually a brand that brings joy to others.
