Yulya Kucheryava

My name is Julia, I have done a lot in my life but now I have found two things that bring me pleasure: yoga and needlework, namely embroidery. The love of embroidery was instilled by my grandmother and great-grandmother. They embroidered very beautiful works with a cross. By the way, my grandmother not only embroidered well, but also knitted. And my mother sewed, knitted and painted. My aunt also paints well. As you can see, I grew up in a creative family. I have been embroidering for more than 17 years. Most of them were cross and bead paintings. But I wanted something new, I wanted to move on, learn new techniques and improve. So, now I'm embroidering jewelry from beads, sequins and crystals. Hand made by me, it's inspiration, peace, beauty, colorful emotions and hard work! When the war came to my country, I lost almost all my income--but embroidery stayed with me. I try to distract myself from bad thoughts and create something good that someone will like in the future and be happy to wear.
