I am sure you heard of CULINA…. Culina comes from latin and basically means culinary and translates into the simple work kitchen!
One day sitting in my garden I was sipping on a big cup of coffee and dreaming of the Lavender fields in my home country…. Romania. I miss the endless purple and pink fields of lavender….. I was asking myself where they are here in Australia and one step away voila a google search gave me the answer….
If you love lavender fields and live in Australia, you might love to check out HERE a fabulous purple lavender farm in Melbourne. I have not been myself, but I got inspired to create a new line in my art. Culinary herbs…..
I started to collect ideas, look around in my herb garden for inspiration… Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, Coriander, Fennel, Oregano, Chives, Mint, and so much more…..
When you create, you need purpose and drive…. My drive was to create a new line that brings joy and freshens up your home. The Perfect little Fashionable – Culinary -Art came to life……
Please meet the gorgeous ladies….. available in the Etsy Shop….

And now let’s get back to Lavender….. Once winning the battle between … What is better Purple fields or pink fields…. Purple won! E voila take a look at the result… Lavender Lady- I am Lavender!

Have you heard of DADA? Well yes, it;s a real WORD and yes you can find it in the Dictionary! DADA is famous in the world of ART in the world of FASHION….. It is a must in a cultural society.
What is DADA!
Dada was an art movement formed during the First World War in Zurich in negative reaction to the horrors and folly of the war. The art, poetry and performance produced by dada artists is often satirical and nonsensical in nature. (Wikipedia)
DADA defines itself and creates itself in the fashion world….. DADA originated in Europe 1916 and never actually stopped if you ask me….From Originator Marchel DuChamp the DADA movement in the fashion industry had a hard time first and was shocking. Vivienne Westwood, was one of the first fashion designers who broke the boundaries and DADA was born or moved into the fashion industry. After that it was easy and more acceptable for designers like Galliano , Maison Martin Margiela or Victor & Rolf to push more and more!
You probably think that these pigiont shoes are just art or insane, well theses days everything is DADA and it will go further and further… because we humans need to break through the boundaries, not only for our self but for future generations….. there is no stop to DADA or creativity…. All is possible!
So enjoy a cup of coffee, and create some DADA.….
By the way when I broke into a traditional world of Romanian Point Lace where everything is beige, ecru or white my colourful pieces and not traditional concept and approach to this antique lace making technique, was a shocking fabulous adventure!
Most people did not understand and did not like the idea that something so old and perfect…. is not colourful, not for the table and more….. meaning a wearable piece, a concept to take to another level.
