Let me decipher the name 'kpDeco'. 'kp' of course are my initials. 'Deco' has been inspired by Art Deco, a style known for its stylized forms and geometric designs. From photography to crochet to constructive textiles and more, I experiment with various ideas steered from one another turning them into designs. However, unlike Art Deco I apply hands-on approach to my work which makes my work what it is. And this is what 'kpDeco' stands for. Design with a touch of craft.

'Hoop in Hoop' Earrings
But to go to the beginning it all started with me working out colour scheme and making rough patches with the colours...
This time I did not have a picture for an inspiration (as I usually have), it was the idea behind; this was/is jewellery for February born lady. Birth stone of February is amethyst hence the purple colour. The white colour was introduced as a reference to unpolished stones that have some white in them so I added it too.
I was rather pleased when I assembled it all into what is on the right. But you know the nagging feeling when you think this is not there yet. For a few days that was me...
...until I made another purple 'viking weave' chain and extended the earrings.
Embracing the existing earrings with a purple hoop each, suddenly the earrings stepped into the next level; from something 'nice' to something 'noble', wouldn't you agree?
Enjoy this pre-Christmas time and see you next time. K-)
