Estonian artist Kadri Toomsalu handmade jewelry Olen ehtekunstnik ja töötan oma väikeses kodustuudios Tallinnas. Teen ehteid, mis on küll väikesed, aga täis värvi ja energiat. Ehteid teen oma originaaljoonistuste põhjal ning iga ehe on mitme päeva töö tulemus. Peamise materjalina kasutan epoksiidvaiku. Kui minu looming toob värvi kellegi päeva, on see parim tunne. My pieces are small but striking in their color. You could almost say they are full of life. I make jewelry, it’s what I love to do. The process itself thrills me. And if the result then brings a smile to somebody’s face, even somebody on the other side of the world, it’s a great feeling. I think the world needs more things that are created by people who put their heart into what they do. My items start out as drawings, progress to more elaborate designs, until finally, using epoxy resin, become a pop of colour in somebody’s rainy day. wom en ART page 32
