‘diamond ring’ by alissia melka teichroew

‘I met so many great people and so many doorways were opened for me at
the mart last year. the pencil and pen holders and my other projects are
doing well, and I attribute the success of these pieces to the visibility

soon after the mart that included the magnito salt + pepper shaker set

inspired these developments the articles included: box, artravel, interni, dc style,
philly style and the new york times. also my salt + pepper shakers have recently
been awarded the chicago good design award and are now included in the
permanent design collection of the chicago athanaeum. also, this project recently
