Apple Blossom Time Give Away

Let me introduce you to Gia from One Perfect Day. She is a wonderful artist living in Athens, Greece. Gia makes some beautiful fabric accessories and jewelry. I have asked her to share a little bit about her inspiration. She also has a this fantastic Apple Blossom Time necklace as a  gift for one lucky reader.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I'm a Greek-Australian living in sunny Greece. As a student in Australia, I remember studying the impressionists and a book that said how the artists flocked to a particular part of France because of the light. Back then, it puzzled me, but when I came to Greece as an adult, I got it. I cannot find words to describe it accurately but the light here is special; it's magical. It's just a part of how living in Greece is captivating.

What inspires you to create?

I find inspiration everywhere. A random image in a magazine, book or blog, an arrangement of shapes or colour, nature of course and so much more. Anywhere I look, I see something that triggers my own interpretation of it. The stimulus is just a starting point for my imagination to take off, and then I just try to keep up...

Aside from making your beautiful pieces what do you like to do for fun.

I love reading books- even though it's not something I do much of lately.

And at the risk of sounding flat, my fun is getting lost in colours, textures, and shapes.

What's the best part of your day?

The best time of my day is when the sun begins to set, things start to wind down, and I know that I can look forward to time on my own to do or make the things that have been floating around in my head all day.

I'm pleased to announce a very special giveaway today.
