Second Life for Materials:
I Didn’t Throw Away the Pencil Shavings — I Turned Them Into Art
What if the tiny curls left behind after sharpening a colored pencil weren’t waste at all? ✏️✨ I started saving these colorful pencil shavings, wondering if they could one day become something beautiful — and that simple thought eventually turned into unique handmade earrings, a one-of-a-kind pendant, and a unique handmade candle holder or cigarette rest.
I love discovering new possibilities in materials that are usually overlooked, so instead of letting these fragile fragments end up in the bin, I gave them a second life through upcycling, sustainable design and contemporary handmade art. Each piece tells the story of a simple pencil transformed into something completely unexpected — from wearable jewelry to a colorful table object.

I Brought These Leaves Back from Madeira… Now They’re Becoming Jewelry
While on vacation in Madeira, I collected delicate leaf skeletons, fascinated by their intricate natural patterns and the memories they carry. 🍃 I brought them home to preserve their fragile beauty in resin and transform them into unique handmade pendants and earrings, creating wearable memories inspired by nature.
