Each one of the pieces represents feelings and moods with their colors and shapes. They all tell a story like books that I love. I try to avoid symmetry, because I think it's boring. I want things happening in my necklaces and bracelets. I want that the eye can stop at different elements. The person carrying my jewelry can be sure that there is no exact copy of the one she has.Lady Renaissancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07312918902503862856noreply@blogger.comBlogger11125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776286487020638788.post-80401437757157325292014-02-27T14:55:00.000+02:002014-02-27T14:55:49.397+02:00A ray of sun – finally!<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

through a long, long winter time with only a few hours of sun during the day.

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For me
there has always been a deep-rising need for light and the color yellow at the
end of this time of the year. However, I noticed that for some reason this color that we
so desperately need is so little used in our clothes or accessories around me. We admire
it if one dares to wear it but at the same time silently think that I never
could or would. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I used to
be one of those silent admirers until I finally bought my first bright yellow
winter scarf because of someone suggesting it to me. To my astonishment,
being a blond, the color fit me perfectly and even more, made me feel
really warm and shine from the inside. I always thought that it would only look good on darker
people. Ever since I’ve loved colors. They have become the outside reflection
of my inner, bursting personality. Colors have more meaning to us in our
everyday life than we dare to believe.</span></div>

When delivering an order to a customer she wanted to show me some old souvenir necklaces from the 1970s. "Listen, the clasp is a wreck and I can't operate it anymore with my stiffening fingers, could you replace the clasp?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since it is not my ideology to just reproduce the piece, I suggested to refresh the necklace with some new sparkling beads. She agreed with my idea. This is what I then did to a couple of her southern souvenirs and when returning them ready, she suddenly asked, what I could do with the extra pieces that were now left over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lady had some ideas. She wanted these left-overs to be placed in front and then gave me instructions on the other beads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of days passed and suddenly she called me again and said she had watched French TV and the anchor had had a marvellous necklace with bright green and red in it. She said she wanted these colors to be added to the necklace since it had looked so energetic on TV.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First it seemed like an odd color combination. The shell pieces were delicate and light, salmon like bits. The green and red such a powerful contrast. I was also worried that the shell would look cheap. This is why I had to spend time figuring out what would be the best way to arrange the focal point in front.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What an adventure it was to start beading these together. Little by little the shell shreds were turning into fragile rose buds and the screaming red was like blood drops on the vibrant green stem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What first seemed like an extra job in between other orders now turned out to be one of the most inspiring processes for a long time. Not only the visual experience but the dialogue and meeting with the customer really made my day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, next time you are about to toss an old piece of jewelry, think twice. What if you gave it another chance for life!</div>

You can argue whether we need jewelry at all. You are even told that only vein people like to decorate themselves. It is, of course, true that you cannot eat your jewelry and housing bills always come first when deciding about spending your money. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when the basic needs are fulfilled, how do we decide what is the extra we want?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a traditional way of thinking we only need jewelry as an accessory to a special occasion or as a symbol of a life's highlight moment. For some it is total waste of money.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Indeed, some of my customers used to say that they never wore any jewelry before wearing Lady R or they never thought they might NEED jewelry, and even more, in a totally new way </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- as a means of self-expression</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- supporting mental well-being.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- fulfilling their need for beauty</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- feeling special</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The human need for beauty around us is very deep rooted in our minds. For one it is a calm and familiar landscape, a painting, a music piece, for another it is dressing up in a personal way and enjoying beautiful and unique things. I remember my daughter who can't walk, buying an absolutely beautiful pair of high-heel shoes and displaying them on a shelf and enjoying the sight of them every single day. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my customers also bought a piece of jewelry to put it on the living-room table, to remind her of positive and beautiful things in life.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whose rule it is you always have to wear things in their original way?</div>

When my sister wants bling, she also needs bling! Luckily she has this close connection to a person who can realize even her wildest needs. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She first WANTED the crystal bracelet but soon after it was around her wrist, she NEEDED a pair of ear rings and a neckace to make the set complete.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, then it is, when sister wants bling, she gets bling!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The same set looks totally different at day or night or when worn with different colors.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without this bling my sister wouldn't be the person she now is.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you can design the piece of jewelry together with the one who will realize it for you, the piece will definitely have a deeper meaning to you than when buying a trendy bulk product.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This way you can ask the jewelry maker to weave in your own personality and a specific story you want to tell. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

This is what Lady Renaissance is all about !</div>

their lightness and ease with which they sailed across the field. It was
absolutely intoxicating. But then, in less than a twinkling of an eye the prism
of colors and shiny surfaces disappeared, leaving behind only the memory of the
past moment.</span></div>

but time after time the balls popped into thousands of droplets and disappeared
in air. Even so, she noticed that sometimes the balls were left whole, even on exceedingly
sharp surfaces, and then it was possible to examine the beauty of this bubble for
a moment before it disappeared. </span></div>

studied the art of catching the soap bubbles for the whole summer she finally
was able to catch them with ease. She managed to make long chains with the
bubbles and fly with them. First she had been on top of the world doing it but
day by day it didn’t feel so special anymore. She didn’t have anyone to share
her joy with. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How much more fun it would

to the other butterflies and told them how much fun they could have together.
First they weren’t anxious to try catching the bubbles because their leader
said that it was impossible. After a long persuation the butterflies promised
that the next time the girl would be blowing the bubbles they would give it a try.
While waiting for the day to come the Pink Lady told them all she had learned
about catching and chaining the bubbles. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The symbol of Midsummer in Finland has always been the birch tree, at least to me. The old tradition is that on Midsummer Eve you go to the woods and take a couple of young birches and fix them standing on both sides of your porch. They look so new and fresh at that time of the year and the scent is absolutely beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You also make a bundle of the fresh twigs to use them in the Midsummer night sauna to sofly slap your skin with it in the heat. It revives your circulation and relieves you of all the stress in the muscles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are not a Finn you might abhor even the idea of this ritual. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But imagine, a clear light night in the countryside, the sun doesnt't set, at a crystal clear lake. Bathing in the silent sauna, only listening the the hiss of the hot rocks on the stove, the scent of the young birch and the relaxing heat that washes away all the worries from your mind... then dipping into the soft and cool lake water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can assure you, this is the moment on my mind when I see a leaf of a birch tree...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first saw these agate leaves in a bead store, this is why I just had to buy them. I knew at the same time that I would use them together with the mountain crystals that I had. </div>

The sand polished crystals were like dew drops and the shining silver chain as bright as the light summer night. Looking at the finished necklace, I can feel the scent and the coolness of the tiny drops in my mind. </div>

No matter if you look forward or back,<br />
you only see your life as scattered, black beads on rugged, crevassed stone.<br />
Bigger and smaller failures, all of them.<br />
When you try to catch the beads to put them back in a string,<br />
they keep slipping away.<br />

But if you are willing to take the effort,<br />
you can see something else in the same picture.<br />
Look again and you will see the shapes and hues,<br />
the glitter in the ash. <br />
When you surrender and free your mind<br />
from the chains of sorrow and self-pity you are able to see...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day I spotted these 'flowers on the green hay'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Examining the shirt more closely... I got even more surprised...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the days gone by, Finnish textile industry was thriving. Now it has almost disappeared.That's why coming across with this piece wasn't self-evident.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My size always was 36... Even though I'm not from Lahti, I certainly am from Finland and my name IS Tiina. The sizes have changed since the 1970s, and could't fit in this cute shirt. What a pity. So, I had to figure out something else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The small size didn't stop me from buying this garment from its hiding place, the flea market, and when looking at the flowers, the color, the shape...I got a heureka. I remembered the glass flowers I had in my drawer. Just as if they had been sitting there, waiting for this blouse to appear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes, the busy material needs a calm contrast. With this shirt I couldn't resist making the flowers of the blouse three-dimensional and mixing the colors even more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I think the blouse and the necklace are inseparable! One can't be without the other!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
They will be friends forever!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just look at them. Could you separate these two?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sure can pose them beautifully and display them but now that you have seen them with the blouse: 'Don't they look barren and alone?' Sweet and juicy as candy, but still...Just a necklace without </div>

The blinding sun makes me see everything in dark shades.
The moving figures make my imagination race.<br />
<br />
<br />

Suddenly the migrating white birds appear in the sky.<br />
<br />

<br />
The birds have spread their wings and glide free in the wind, just like my imagination. They start looking for the best place to settle down and nest, just like my jewelry - finding the best person to carry each piece.<br />

To say to your dearest: ”You are the apple of my eye”, is sweet. But to make your words and feelings visible every day is an another story.
Words, thoughts and goals are easily forgotten in the rush of the everyday bustle, but when you give your words and promises a concrete form, readily seen and touched as a symbol, they aren’t so easily forgotten. One simple glance at this symbol brings a whole story to your consciousness filling you with the words pronounced earlier.<br>

The ideology of Lady Renaissance is based on the belief that all our life is full of stories to be told and shared with other people. This jewelry enables you to tell the stories you want to tell and the messages you want o convey to your dearest ones, or to yourself and people around you.
The value of jewelry for me it isn’t always a question of precious stones, the weight of precious metals or representation of widely recognized brands. If we want to be individual and unique, why would we like to express these qualities in ourselves with bulk products then? Do we want to be considered one of the kind in the same way as others?<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ldfM1uwktp89p1sNL8bGGBnUU3skUd2lfawZOc4UJ_vnqcP4ceZ-LeI3RDKM6ygbA4OfMhfAl5q49opXQn0D1b8MI94pl9aV4ZnxpIsxViLrJ5tI7VLWlaChUQ55M6QQ3CRqs-wweoLc/s1600/apple+of+my+eye5.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ldfM1uwktp89p1sNL8bGGBnUU3skUd2lfawZOc4UJ_vnqcP4ceZ-LeI3RDKM6ygbA4OfMhfAl5q49opXQn0D1b8MI94pl9aV4ZnxpIsxViLrJ5tI7VLWlaChUQ55M6QQ3CRqs-wweoLc/s320/apple+of+my+eye5.JPG" /></a><br>
With jewelry you can challenge the viewers’ imagination and mind. The message doesn’t have to be obvious. Would you read a book, the cover of which would make the contents predictable? Wouldn’t you like to think for yourself and find out the underlying message? Wouldn’t you like to have several different interpretations? <br>
I have an interpretation for this necklace but I’d like to hear yours. <br>
Is there someone you know that this piece would fit perfectly?

<div style="text-align: center;">
Who says that jewelry should only give a visual experience? Creating this necklace as a present for my twin sister was also an auditive process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thinking of my gorgeously tall, dark haired sister, my fingers kept fondling the shapes of these beautifully shimmering pieces of natural sea shell. I wanted them to stay in close contact with each other, while still moving apart on their own, just as me and my sis. I aimed at making this a statement piece proudly saying: "Look at me and my graceful posture!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The small, transparent seed beads give an easily and loosely moving and almost invisible thread for the pieces while ressembling water drops at the same time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The nice rustling sound the necklace makes on her neck reminds her of me and summer and her love for water and underwater world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What would be your favorite sound on your neck?</div>

<span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">When my daughter was on sixth grade and studied Renaissance in her
history class, suddenly at the dinner table she said: "Mom, you are a
real Renaissance person." I was astonished and couldn't figure out what
she meant and she continued: "See, you can do just anything." She was
putting into practice the knowledge she had obtained in class and
realized that it was exactly the same with the time of renaissance as
what mom was doing when she did everything possible by herself.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">
</span>
<span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">Hand work and doing things by hand has been an essential part of my
life since childhood. During the busy years of life all that was left
behind while all the energy had to be put to the survival in everyday
life. Two decades later I was totally exhausted with the heavy life and
working as "a combined nurse and an assistant" to my handicapped
children at the same time as I had a full time job. It was simply too
much to handle. I felt that I didn't exist anymore, there was just Mama.
I was absolutely positive that I would never be able to smile again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: ;Dancing Script,serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">However, beauty and hand work saved me. I noticed that a perfect
counterbalance for the absolutely black exhaustion was a strong longing
for beauty in me. I looked for beautiful things in flea markets, I
started to knit and finally I found stones and pearls shining in
shimmering colors. I found out that there are exceptional resources
inside ourselves and the best medicine for mental and emotional
well-being is the time used in doing things with our own hands.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">For me the starting point for making the jewelry is a kind of stream
of consciousness. Each one of them represent my feelings and moods with
their colors and shapes. I try to avoid symmetry, because I think it's
boring. I want things happening in my necklaces and bracelets. I want
that the eye can stop at different elements. The person carrying my
jewelry can be sure that there is no exact copy of the one she has.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Dancing Script,serif;">I soon noticed that my friends got interested in my jewelry and one
after another wanted to have a personal and unique piece made by hand.
That is how the business name Lady Renaissance was born.</span><br />

For me it is a life saving focus in life and I believe it can be that for many others as well. This is why I like so much the following comment I found in an old book representing Louvre:</span></span></span></div>
