Browsing over our top 50 repeat winners lately I spotted a shop with really unique jewelry items... Caliopescaprice, which just opened at the end of March. Everything was so colorful, and so beautifully photographed, I had to blog about her and ask some questions!

Tell us a bit about yourself?
My name is Sara, I am a 26 years old spanish girl. Nowadays I live in Utrecht, Holland, making a master's program about physical oceanography and meteorology. I live here with my couple that sometimes, helps me with the jewelry, in a very small apartment. It is so small that I had to choose between use polymer clay or beads for jewelry making!!. I am here since 2011, and I like it too much, very different than my own home, I thing is a nice experience.

What got started making handmade items?
4 years ago, I guess, I was helping to get money for a student trip. Usually for it you make parties, sell t-shirts, food and handmade items. While I was looking for handmade items to do, I found a website talking about beaded items, how to do it, the materials you need. I thing I fell in love since the first moment. And I started to learn how to do them with internet. 4 years later I am still in love with it. Two years ago I started to work with polymer clay too for a short time, then for personal reasons I had to stop making jewelry till this year.

What got you to open your shop on etsy?
In Vigo, my city, I used to sold items to the people I know, family, friends... But here in Holland, I lost my circle, then I began to accumulate a lot of pieces. I decide to try etsy as a way to sell the things I made, but to be honest, it is no working pretty well.
