" In a mass produced world there is something very special in making a handmade product, each piece is delicately crafted and made with love " very special on off and unique. Every time a headpiece is born, you are buying a piece of my heart Each piece is inspired by a dream, feeling , another era , film , fashion. I create pieces of wearable art that I design and create from love. I get attached to each piece and feel proud when I see them go to a new home and happiness when I see them on their new owner who adores them". (ilana Quotes )
