My name is Alexandra Nosko) I live in a happy marriage and and are raising two boys)) My husband and I are very fond of traveling. When the oldest son was 3 months old, my husband and I went to India. This trip brought out a lot of positive emotions and ideas. My husband perfected his pottery, and I was fascinated by hand weaving strips of cloth) I weave accessories, jewelry, and pillows. I love patchwork and create ethno earrings made of felt.

We engage in yoga and just enjoy life in this perfect world))) By buying my work, people get a piece of happiness and love that I put into each creation. Each work is unique, because everything is done only by hand.
