I felt the need to tell you about my creative process every time I get to work and design these wonderful pieces, meant to enhance mothers' beauty and allow our babies to establish a secure connection with us through their natural instincts.
Thus, I have decided that sharing my experiences as an entrepreneurial mother through a blog can be the most positive way for us to build a relationship of trust, where I hope to be able to help you in many ways.
Advice, breastfeeding tips, parenting, and experiences from clients who have found in my products the best way to connect with their babies and provide them with healthy development, is what I want to offer you.
Thank you for being here, and I hope we have fun together learning and sharing our own experiences.
Since this will be my first blog, I want to tell you about the creative development of a nursing necklace, from the sketch or drawing on paper to the final result, and how much I enjoy making it.
You might wonder why I want to start with this topic. Basically, for two reasons: first, because many of you are curious about the necklaces, what inspires me, what materials I use to make them, what it's like to sit down and design a nursing necklace, among other questions.
Second, because motherhood and entrepreneurship are a difficult equation to balance, but even in difficulties, one learns – I'll hold onto that.
I have had the opportunity to participate in fairs with partners who have allowed me to grow the business on many fronts and have taken me to another level. However, and I say this with absolute frankness, being a source of inspiration for other companies has led them to replicate my work almost entirely, and this somehow impacts my brand.
I reiterate that each situation has been a learning experience for me and has allowed Vazart to live a daily creative and innovative process, ensuring that research and trends are present to bring you a unique and unrepeatable accessory.
Now, let's begin…
At Vazart, we love to travel! And the whole world becomes our inspiration every time we design a piece. Today, I want to show you my creative process with the “Jameh” necklace, special for stage 3, inspired by the Jameh Mosque in Iran.
The inspiration
This particular mosque is full of contrasts, details, and a lot of work, which caught my attention. Cobalt blue represents wisdom, just as turquoise speaks of joy and the enjoyment of life (perhaps that's why the sea is adorned with this special color that I personally love), and finally, gold, a symbol of power and value—each of them strategically used in Islamic art to reflect its unique style.
Why the mosque? In reality, the Middle East has always been a source of inspiration for me; I am passionate about its architecture and the art embodied in its buildings that vibrate with their characteristic colors.
The creative process
The creative process has my full attention. I make the first sketches of how I've designed the piece; everything that comes to mind is put down on them. I doodle a lot before shaping what I hope the necklace will be.
Little by little, and with the mosque as a source of inspiration, I find the mix of blues, which contrast with gold, to be perfect, giving the necklace a touch of elegance for mothers' everyday lives. This piece becomes the best ally for going to the office or for a relaxed Sunday.
I put everything on my board to organize what I created in the first sketch and proceed to make a new one, this time colored according to the chosen tones to have a broader perspective of how the final product will look.
I must confess that I have a lot of fun making the necklaces and achieving harmonious shapes for you, my clients.
The result
The result always fills me with joy, knowing that I am creating unique, versatile, comfortable pieces that help mothers look beautiful and enable their babies to have a sensory experience fills me with satisfaction.
When I refer to sensory, I mean that these stage 3 necklaces are perfect for babies who already have significant motor development, meaning they have an established grasp and greater control over their hands.
Additionally, I make them in very striking colors, playing with mixes and shapes that allow the baby to squeeze, pull, and tug; favoring their investigation stage due to the way they stimulate the sense of touch and sight.
"Jameh," the necklace that inspired this blog and which I will be launching soon, features new colors and different shapes. In reality, I couldn't be happier with the result, and I hope you will also be happy to wear it.
Tell me about your experience with sensory accessories and what you think of my new piece. I will be happy to read you and support you in everything you need through my blog, my social networks, and my other channels.
Infinite thanks to you, to my little Elisa for making this dream come true, and to the beauty that enhances our role as mothers; we are inspiration made motherhood.
Andrea Vazart.
