Adina Plastelina specializes in the design and crafting of unique
jewelry by means of the Millefiori process.
Millefiori is the combination of the Italian words Mille (Thousand)
and Fiori (Flowers), a term used for the first time around the 1850, yet the
process itself has been in use for about 2,000 years. During the 14th
century it was rediscovered by Venetian glass makers, who produced
"Canes" of glass with patterns running through the entire length from
which identical slices were cut and used in various ways. These Canes and their
images can be "reduced" becoming quite small and then combined to
make multiple images (Millefiori). It's popularity escalated around 1850 and it
has been on the rise ever since.
Now, two thousand years later, the talented craftsman of Adina
Plastelina, have revived this technique and applied it to Polymer Clay, a
material superior to glass for producing Millefiori patterns. The play of
colors, shapes and patterns, joined together with materials such as Silver,
Stainless Steel and Pewter, transform these pieces into handmade, individual
works of art, no two of which are identical.
