After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

Thank you for sharing. It brought back fond memories of a country of hospitable and talented people.
Such a wonderful place. We just loved it.
Sooo interesting - I had no idea that they worked from the bottom and had to turn it over!!!! Oh my Heavens!
Isn’t that incredible?! I didn’t know that either. ❤️
Thank you for opening up the world to me as I watch the videos from your travels and visits to artisans and creators. This opportunity is inspiring and educational and I appreciate you sharing what you have learned. Thank you for your kindness.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my little videos! That makes me happy. ❤️
I visited Jordan with my sister several years ago. We loved it too. I visited a carpet workshop in Turkey, and it was set up as a government scheme, so that women from the villages can work. They got paid a set amount, so that if sometimes they couldn’t work, they still got paid. (Yes, I bought a rug!)
Haha! Hard to say no, right. I bought a beautiful rug when I was in Turkey, that was decades ago!
Wow that is beautiful and thanks for sharing
❤️
Very interesting and you got a beautiful piece.
Thank you Lynda.
Wow that's amazing
Thanks Carolyn. I thought so too!
Thank you for sharing this video with us. There’s so many great mosaic pieces there. Interesting how they nip those stones into such small pieces… also how they finish the work!
I could have watched them for hours. It was incredible. And that one man who makes the teeny tiny mosaics... that was just mind blowing. The artist who made the mosaic we purchased was there and was so pleased that we chose one of his pieces. He signed the back. We are thrilled to have it.
@@ArianeZurcher212 I’m sure you are both thrilled with your new acquisition. It was Interesting to see the man working on the postage stamp mosaic. What skill & precision. Cool the artist signed his work & knows of your new found love for mosaics. It’s awesome.💕
@@lindalienhard7738 Yes! Incredible and the work is exquisite!
Incredible!!
Right?! Amazing. And they are fast!
That’s what I love about travel-you get to experience something new. We don’t get to do that so much as we get older. It’s especially good when we don’t expect it.
I absolutely see why you got that mosaic. I love the tree of life. I have plans to do one in quilt form.
My husband says we shipped a Murano glass sculpture from Venice Italy by means of D H L. It cost $50 and it arrived in perfect shape to our little town in Georgia . That was about three years ago.
That glass sculpture sounds wonderful. Yes, trying to get in as much travel now, while we still can!
Love your tree mosaic Ariane and the film was very interesting. I've always been amused when lacemaking, stitching, quilting etc that anyone watching or looking at my finished projects state that I must have so much patience! I wish I had. If I did I wouldn't have so many WIPs!!😄
Haha! So true. ❤️
Hi lovely video. Could you tell me what tool it is they use for the cutting of the stones?
I have no idea! ❤️
