There’s a quiet kind of magic in turning the ordinary into something extraordinary. ✨

 A soda tab — tossed away, forgotten, considered useless — becomes a bold pair of earrings, a statement of style, a whisper of sustainability, and a symbol of transformation. 

That’s where my heart lives… in the in-between. In the spaces where things are often overlooked but still brimming with potential. I love crafting with upcycled materials not just for the joy of creating, but for what it represents: a second chance, a spark of hope, a new story waiting to unfold.

Every piece I make carries that spirit — especially my soda tab creations. I start by cleaning and smoothing each tab, then wrapping them in colorful threads. I weave them together with wire, beads, and a whole lot of love. Sometimes the process is messy, meditative, even unpredictable… but isn’t that what art is? 

For me, crafting is not just a hobby; it’s a soulful practice. I often sit on my little crafting corner after a day of hairstyling or teaching yoga, a cup of tea by my side, music playing softly in the background, and the materials laid out like a palette of potential. It’s in those quiet moments that inspiration strikes — and something discarded becomes a treasure. 

This is what La Nesamarie is all about. Not just making jewelry, but breathing life into forgotten things and giving them purpose again — just like we sometimes need for ourselves. 

Thank you for being a part of this journey, for believing in handmade beauty, and for seeing the soul in the smallest things. 🌿 

One stitch, one stone, one soul at a time.  

With love, Nenita ✨
