Hi! This girl’s name is Nike. She is currently an architecture student in U.P. Diliman,  a craft-and-hobbies enthusiast, a part-time beader/crocheter, an occasional bead collector, and an aspiring jewelry designer. The name Nikita is a derivative of her name, also a monicker she acquired in high school. She got little cyber craft nook and online shop both in multiply and here at ginantsilyo.

She got hooked!

She started as a regular beader– working only with run-of-the-mill beads, charms and jewelry findings you usually find at local craft stores, especially the ones along Villalobos. Not long after she started beading did she also start becoming bored with the same and usual materials she uses, as well as with the creations she was able to come up with using them. Remembering how her mom made use of crocheted flower appliques as embellishments, she was inspired to incorporate crocheting into my craft. Soon enough she discovered crochet’s potential in jewelry-making. Since then, she has been using crocheted motifs and components together with my beads and charms to come up with exceptional pieces.
