Hi everybody!
I haven’t published anything for quite some time here ( you know how it is…. Life and its surprises!)
So here am I to let you know what I am up to artistically speaking at the moment.
I left fashion since as an artesan since it’s hard to make a living from it ( the Etsy page is still open for the last pieces of clothing I have left and jewelry) but I kept sewing by making reusable hygiene products, as a mom of now 2 children I want my creations to be ecological and useful , but still nice! So I made a business or reusable diapers and such, with as always my personal touch.
Added to this I continue making jewelry, and began wire wrapping about a month ago , it’s an art I was always curious of trying and I must say it’s quite addictive!! 🤣🤣🤣
And I added another activity.
Last year I struggled with lots of anxiety , and found by surprise that a tiny instrument called kalimba , eased it a lot. But after purchasing many, there was always something missing. So I said « why not try and make my own instrument?
After months of concept and tries I finally made it , and decided to make them so people could enjoy some relaxation too.
The kalimba is used in musical therapy to ease anxiety, stress, and insomnia. It’s based on the same named african instrument in a more modern way. It can be played without any musical knowledge from the age of
With this new activity, I work with wood, resin, and metal, and paint and make music at the same time , it’s a complete activity !
I experiment various woods and their sounds , then modify by adding resin on it or different metal hardness to obtain different personalities of instruments. Then I add the resin work to help those who need a visual effect to cut with stress faster ( well I must admit I love working with resin 🥰). with the way wood vibrates, by the sound the smell and the visual effects I try to make the player’s 4 senses occupied so he/she can really be elsewhere.
This line of work really pleases me . It’s more than fashion because it brings people beauty, peace of mind, and the possibility to make music without any musical knowledge, thus giving them the possibility to to become artists too
As must as I loved fashion , I feel that at the moment I want to make things that bring only positive vibes to people. For our planet, for health, and for each’s spirits.
I tried to guide Lo**ta fashion to a more modern/ different world and free it from its codes, and now here I am trying to make people enter another world with the musical instruments…..
There you have some pictures and a video to let you ear the sound of a kalimba and relax a bit ❤️
