From early ages I have always been intersted in Art. In the beginning I painted cartoons and after a while I started to paint on textiles. In 2014 I found my new passion - the Coconut. The processing and engraving of coconuts changed my life and developed my feeling for art. I wanted to create an unique product, made from natural materials. This inspired me to create jewelry and accessories from coconut material and also to use Shellac for polishing and finalizing my products.Shellac is a resin secreted by the
female lac bug, on trees in the forests of India and
Thailand. It is processed and sold as dry flakes and
dissolved in ethanol to make liquid shellac, which is used
as a brush-on colorant, food glaze and wood finish. Shellac functions as a tough natural primer, sanding
sealant, tannin-blocker, odour-blocker, stain, and high-
gloss varnish.The number of lac bugs required to produce 1
kilogram (2.2 lb) of shellac has variously been estimated
as 50,000, 200,000, or 300,000 .The root word lakh is a
South Asian unit for 100,000 and presumably refers to the
huge numbers of insects that swarm on host trees, up to
150 per square inch.ar.
