Loobeensky

I'm Ola, and I live in the southern Netherlands, where I create beautiful, unique, sometimes quirky, yet entirely handmade jewellery. I cut everything by hand, design it myself from scratch, and use minimum amounts of ready-made elements (usually beads, clasps, earring studs, that's about it). Crafting occupies hours and hours of my time, but the result is worth it—each piece is a result of a lengthy, careful process full of love, passion, and dedication. Throughout the last decade, I have developed more than 350 distinct designs, and this number continues to grow steadily. Now and then, I try something new, going from felt to embroidery, leatherwork, the art of polymer clay, metalwork, beaded embroidery, linocut, screen printing, and, last but not least, to plywood, which turned out to be my main material of choice. I do not outsource anything nor use laser-cut plywood. What starts in my workshop gets finished off in the very same room, with my own two hands.
