madamaRobe - Mrs Stuff from Verona

This is 
Roberta, who comes from Verona in Italy . 
Her brand is madamaRobe
, which should be written with an "accent grave" and a capital letter in the word Robe, which I believe means Mrs Stuff, who makes colorful and whimsical jewelry.


Bonjiourno Signorina.


- How did you get started? I'm always been a creative person but in a particular period of my life my creativity showed to me that I can be who I want and do what I want in my life. My creativity is a blessing in my life. 

- Are your creations limited editions or unique? My creations are unique, if someone ask me a copy I can do it but..it's always different!
- When did you start jewelry and beading? Two years ago.
- Where do you get your materials from? Beads shops everywhere, when I travel I usually find a beads shop... :), Internet, art shop and when I visit creative fairs I buy there too. I only buy high quality materials. When I'm choosing I think to my future creations...Creativity is seeing something that doesn't exist already.  I use only high quality materials and I put a lot of love and care in my creations...I think I have good prices :)
- Which one is your favorite? I love Polymer clays, Murano glass beads and lucite beads but polymer clay I think is a magic material! 
- Are you a professional artist or is this a hobby? I'm trying to become a professional artist, it's hard, there is a lot of work to do but it's what I want to be.
- What inspires you? Colors, art, fairy tales, pictures, ideas when I'm walking, travels, nature.

- What is your favorite piece ? Oooh it's a difficult question! I love all my creations! Well, it's a necklace...I consider it quite special because last year I was visiting a literature festival and I met Sophie Kinsella and she said: "What a beautiful necklace!" I was so flattered!

- How do you promote your work? Facebook, blogs, business cards.
- Where are you showing your work? On the Internet.
- Do you have any advice for fellow artists? I think it's important to believe in our dreams and be sincere with ourselves. It's important working hard and don't give up. Edward de Bono said: "Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting." 


- what would you like to be when you grow up? I'd like to see madamaRobe  as a great and famous brand.

 I'm pleased to be featured on tour blog. Thank you very much.
