Had the absolute pleasure to meet Thomasina Schnepf of Sina’s Creations and was blown away by her artistry!! I’m now a proud owner of some of her pieces and had to share her story. About the Artist My name is Thomasina Schnepf. I am legally blind, and because of this, I create and “view” the world, and my work, very closely. My disability is the result of a tumor on my optic nerve at age 4. Usually, one’s “vision” is one’s world. But for me, my loss of sight, while distorting my vision of your world, has actually caused me to examine everything much more closely in order to “see” what is truly there. It is from this “vision” that I create my pieces, and it is my experiences that my pieces intend to convey. Forms to me are a way to “see” the world as you do. I use form to help me layout my designs. The designs guide my hands and eyes to create individual one-of-a-kind pieces. I need excellent lighting conditions in order to see at all. Since my view of the world is simple, forms to me are not so much separate, distinct, and concrete items. Together with light and glass, they catch fields of light which interact with each other and create an up-close, believable world of which I am a part. Each unique one-of-a-kind piece is created with various combinations of fused colored glass, glass gems, glass beads, glass stringers, and/or glass noodles. I hope you will enjoy my pieces as much as I have enjoyed creating each one especially for you. #jewelrydesigner #womeninbusiness #glassartist #blindartist #glassartwork #fashionstyle #oneofakindjewelry #fusedglassartist #seethroughart

As they said in the olden days, keep calm and carry on. I completely missed doing the July challenge due to some unexpected issues, but I’m back and getting to work on it and will hopefully have the final reveal reel later this month! Check my stories for progress as I get started! #sewingproject #sewingchallenge #bossladymindset #handmade #businesswoman #paris #homedecor #homemade #decorinspo
Baaabyy, progress takes patience! Just lean in and trust the process! Found some lovely gems while clean/organizing and had to share! This was a great reminder for any doubt I have that at the very least I’ve improved and I will continue to do so if I keep at it!! #mondaymotivation #progressnotperfection #sewingcommunity #sewinginspiration #sewingstudio #sewingtherapy #handmade
Countdown to listing the mini totes on my Etsy shop is in full effect! Love the versatility! Can use as a stylish tote to an event, market stroll or use as a gifting bag! 🤩✨#knittote #etsyshop #blaydesigns
If you're wondering what the packaging process is like. This is what it looks like in the lens of a Wes Anderson film.
Truly enjoyed seeing all of the fabrics and pillows that were used at the speakeasy at @thestarlinghotel in Midtown Atlanta. It was truly so cool to see how eclectic everything was! Whenever you find yourself at the starling hotel & you find yourself exploring this speakeasy I hope you enjoy these pillows in person ✨ ------- #hotels #hotel #atlanta #fabrics #woc #womeninbusiness #fabricdesign #interiordesign #designer #womendesigner #reels #reelsinstagram #popular #fashion
As a fellow spring lover, flower smelling, sun lover. I’m no stranger to needing tissues on deck at all times when spring is here…🤧🤧🤧 For the times my allergy pills don’t work or I forget to take them, I’ll have tissues discreetly ready for all my sneezes. The tissue holder set includes three sizes: 1. Holds regular tissue size and can be at your desk or tossed in a tote 2. Holds travel size tissues and can be tossed in a purse 3. Holds travel size tissues and can clipped to your purse, clothes, etc #blaydesigngoods #sneezy #sneezyseason #tissueholder
