concept

Ginta Siceva was inspired by an early morning, windy autumn day in a vine field in Italy, the sun about to rise. The grapes appeared to be almost white from the morning frost. She worked entirely on translating this image in her collection. With great ability she hand cut the leather into grape leaves including white beads to create necklaces, an evening bag, and a carnival mask.
