ABOUT
THE ARTIST
For
Canadian Artisan Cheli Chelouche, everything starts with shapes and
colors. She loves painting nature and read a lot about history
art. When she's painting a tray, she chooses shades she wants to use
together, then thinks about the pattern. She combined her art
studies and inner feelings to paint abstract designs or nature's
beauty. The Douglas Fir trays are made by her husband Amir.
In
addition to painting Cheli expresses her artistic abilities creating
exquisite jewelry pieces. Her interest in history in general
and jewelry history in particular awaken the dormant jewelry artist
in her. While reading about ancient jewelry techniques she stumbled
upon the Maile art, which is knitting with metal rings using 2 pliers
she was fascinated. The idea that people used the same technique
centuries ago gave her the inspiration for her jewelry pieces.
Weaving ancient and contemporary eras together.
She
starts with a tiny ring and proceed to the final design during her
weaving, using only Genuine Gemstone,Semi-Precious and original
swarovski crystal. Her jewelry is meticulously handcrafted and time
consuming but, this for her it is a labor of love and she would love
to share them with you.

encouragements, we have decided to go public.
