Every time I sit down to begin a creative process, I take many factors into account: how long it will take me, what kind of design I want, the materials I'm going to use, and so on. Little by little, I give shape to the illusion of creating a beautiful and functional piece for my mom clients and their babies.
VazART® has always been known for crafting unique pieces, especially when a client challenges me (in a good way) to go beyond what I think my creative process can achieve. I am endlessly grateful for this; it has helped me grow so much in this craft.
With that said, I want to tell you a bit about the process behind the rosary and the decade rosary, two pieces I created in 2020. The rosary was made at a mom's request, and the decade rosary followed. These pieces are truly unique because they were imagined for a specific baby, and that already adds my signature and seal to them.
How this idea began
In 2019, I didn't seriously consider making the rosary without it looking similar to other brands' models. You, my community, know that I take seriously the idea of giving a personal and unique touch to the pieces I create, so the idea of making something common and ordinary didn't excite me much.
Challenges always push me beyond my limits, and in 2020, at another mom's request, came the idea of revisiting the rosary and also launching the decade rosary. This time, I would add the VazART® touch to design a piece born from love and creativity.
I told myself: well, I want to make a woven cross, but how? It's not that easy. The models moms showed me as examples were nice, but something was missing. So I thought that a woven cross would give more style and the true VazART® seal to both the rosary and the decade rosary. But the challenge was to make it in such a way that it looked elegant, wouldn't bend, and perfectly retained the cross shape.
Giving shape to a dream
It was then that I knew the best way to make pieces that were different, yet easily identifiable with the VazART® style, was by weaving the cross shape for both the rosary and the decade rosary. At one point, I thought this would be too big for me, but deep down, I knew that my technique, recognizable by the moms who are already VazART® clients, would make them identify the piece themselves and give their approval. Ultimately, all this work I do with so much love is so that they continue to feel beautiful after pregnancy, while their babies enjoy complete safety when handling or putting one of our accessories in their mouths.
I never gave up
There were many days of assembling and disassembling until I achieved what you now know today: Guadalupe by VazART® (rosary) and Montserrat by VazART® (decade rosary), two unique pieces, created from my knowledge of jewelry techniques and the personal touch I usually add to my accessories. So, I have taken seriously the idea of starting to label my pieces with the original VazART® seal, because this is a truth I painstakingly developed when I decided to take on the challenge of creating pieces that I didn't yet have in my collections. I still believe that my decade rosary and rosary are unlike any other on the market: first, because of when the request arrived (I made them and they saw the light almost three years ago), and second, because there are very special parts of both accessories made deliberately to identify them as VazART® models.
Since I founded VazART®, I've only thought about designing pieces that my mom clients fall in love with, thus giving life to functional, sophisticated, and safe accessories for their babies.
Before I go, I want to tell you that it's important to me that you recognize my products when you see them, and what better way to do that than by granting them their "original product" seal.
This means that those designs that are 100% creative development of VazART® will bear this label: my characteristic mouse with the name VazART® and the legend ORIGINAL PRODUCT.
To all of you, thank you always for being there, for allowing me to express myself through my creativity and innovation in my products; thank you for embracing them with so much love and for helping me climb a new step every day towards new challenges.
CREAtivity is reflected in the capacity and ability to invent, and I am proud to say that I love, live, and enjoy every creative process from beginning to end. When my pieces see the light, I feel infinite joy in having before my eyes an accessory worthy of my ability to imagine, and when my mom clients are so happy, I know without a doubt that I have helped meet a need through a divine gift, creativity, a gift granted to all of us.
I hope that my message reaches loud and clear to whoever needs it, and that the world continues to shine for all those who make creativity their daily sustenance... their modus vivendi.
I am VazART and I am original!
Warmly,
Andrea.
