2012-01-06T19:32:00.005+01:00

Great news for the Etsy shop, tonight it reaches its first 500 sales!

They have been 2 years and a half really hard, with an incredibile amount of hours dedicated to working, 13-15hs per day, to creating many orders, each one personalized for a customer, ideating always new models and creating the prototypes, looking for new materials and testing them, elaborating descriptions as much as possible complete and clear for helping the client to find what he/she was looking for, doing almost daily long waits at the post offices, offering our best customer care in the daily contact with customers but also handling and solving many problems, studying the statistical data, the online marketing, the digital photography, the methods for online payments and worldwide shipping, often working also during the night for meeting the needs of the overseas buyers in different time zones and helping the customers that ask rush orders!

Two years and a half stressful but also amazing and rich of emotions and contacts with wonderful people from all over the world! Thank you to you all, to all customers and visitors of the shop, the followers of this blog and twitter, the facebook fans and friends, the Etsy Italia team friends!! PassionArte will continue to grow for you and with you!

Happy New Year with PassionArte

PassionArte's creations featured!

2010-08-11T14:00:00.015+02:00

Here it is some recent cute features for my creations!

The first one I would show it's Water Lily Jewels blog that featured my Cats cake toppers! I love how Eva, the blogger, described them! She wrote "If you have a sense of fun and enjoyment of life, then your wedding should fit you and your personality, instead of imitating something from a glossy magazine. The wedding cake toppers made by PassionArte are a perfect fit for those who want a wedding filled with fun that is uniquely theirs. Charming and sweet, these cake toppers will bring a smile to your guests' faces, as well as to yours. She has many designs to choose from, but for me, of course, I love these cats!". Isn't she adorable?! :)

The Mice cake topper are featured on the "Groom Sold Separately" site They wrote: "Have you decided what to put on top of your wedding cake? There is always the “go-to” generic cake topper of the bride and groom under a lace heart-shaped arch with a wedding bell dangling from the arch… But brides and their grooms are getting more creative lately and it’s awesome! Today, there are a myriad of options when it comes to cake toppers, so have fun with your choice and be creative!!!". Thank you!

Sky Blue Events site featured the Mice cake toppers (their lovely backs!!) and wrote: "Etsy is one of my favorite sites to browse through. I can lose myself for hours in all of the gorgeous shops. What I love the most is being able to find personalized gifts that brings out bits and pieces of your own style and personality. I have searched and found some of my favorites to share with you. Enjoy". Thank you!

Zuzu's world blog featured the Love birdies cake topper in a gorgeus collage inspired of a wonderful phrase from Pride and Prejudice! Thank you!

My cute Korean dol cake toppers. A funny and cute handmade idea as party supply and keepsake!

2010-01-26T11:38:00.025+01:00

Just completing two orders for cute Korean dol cake toppers!

Dol is a Korean tradition that celebrates the birthday of a one-year-old baby. This ceremony blesses the child with a prosperous future and has taken on great significance in Korea. The birthday babies wear traditional outfit (hanbok) and hat. (from Wikipedia)

So, these cake toppers are a unique and original idea for the party! It's a long work for a beautiful result: the hanboks are personalized handpainting the little embroidered details of the actual outfits that the baby girls (or boys) will wear on their big day! It's a pleasure for me look at the pictures that my clients send with their lovely children, so elegant in their hanboks!

I started to create these cake toppers after my first custom order and I'm receiving new orders. I changed some details, always searching a better result for a figurine that will last as keepsake! It's also possible to add an ox or cow (babies born in the Year of the Ox).

HOW TO ORDER:

Please, visit my shop and read carefully the description of the item; you can choose

- the medium size http://www.etsy.com/listing/46803351/cute-korean-dol-1th-birthday-cake-topper (price in USD: 64$ + shipping costs; adding the ox is 8$)

Shipping costs are 10$ for the normal airmail and 15$ for the registered one.

If you want to order it,

1) contact me to passionarte.handmade(at)yahoo.it writing me if you prefer the small or the medium size, if you want to add the ox, if you prefer normal or registered mail, and attach the picture/s of the hanbok

2) I will send a paypal invoice to your e-mail address;

3) time for creation and drying is about 15 days (or tell me if you need a rush order); I will send the pictures before shipping;

4) delivery for US and Europe USUALLY takes about 10-12 days.

My best sellers for Christmas, the custom ornaments

2009-12-29T18:31:00.021+01:00

EN: This Christmas has been the first with my online shop so I was not very prepared, next year I will think to list more new items in time for the holiday shopping! Anyway, this year my best sellers have been the custom ornaments! I received orders for funny themes like this shark, inspired to my shark bookmark (also sold for Christmas):

IT: Questo è stato il primo Natale per il mio negozio on line così non ero veramente preparata! Il prossimo anno inizierò ad inserire nuovi articoli in tempo utile per lo shopping natalizio! I miei best sellers quest'anno, sono state le decorazioni per l'albero personalizzate, come già vi dicevo in un precedente post. Ho ricevuto ordini per temi/soggetti divertenti come questo squalo, ispirato al mio segnalibro (già in vendita e venduto proprio per Natale):

...cute like this black sheep:

IT: carini come questa pecorella nera:

...sweet and lovely like this "first Christmas together ornament", gift for a new couple of Chinese bride and groom created like a little cake topper with babies characters:

IT: ...dolci e teneri come questa decorazione per il primo Natale insieme, regalo per una nuova coppia di sposi cinesi, creato come un cake topper con personaggi bambini:

...for birds lovers like this cute-realistic version of a sandpiper bird for an ornament exchange:

IT: ... per amanti degli uccellini come questa versione misto realistica-tenera di un uccello sandpiper:

Handmade by me nativity scene, the Christmas decoration for my home

2009-12-22T15:42:00.011+01:00

Some years ago, I created a little Nativity scene and every year I add some pieces so my scene is growing! Every year I used a different clay that I discovered during the last months! Last year I purchased a little pump and created a working small river that this year is become a waterfall... I love hear the sound of the water! This Christmas I was too busy with the orders on my Etsy shop so I haven't time to add any piece but... there are still some days to Christmas..!

Owl Family Christmas ornament

2009-12-22T11:39:00.007+01:00

...and here it is an update to my last post: a custom order for an owl family Christmas ornament! Aren't they so cute and funny?! In the picture, you can also see the packaging.

...ed ecco un aggiornamento al mio ultimo post: una decorazione per l'albero personalizzata con una famiglia di gufi! Ma non sono simpatici?! Nelle foto, anche l'immagine del pacchetto.

New creation: the Penguin family Christmas ornament

2009-11-16T22:59:00.015+01:00

Unfortunately (or fortunately!) I'm very busy with Christmas orders and new wedding cake toppers, so I have no time to update my blog but I can hardly wait to write about all new creations! Now, I just want to show you the Personalized Penguin family Christmas ornament; it's a cute Christmas tree decoration with a lovely family of penguins, handmade of modelling clay. It can be a custom heirloom and keepsake or also an original gift idea (i.e. for grandparents). I can also create it with different animals or number of family members: one of the pictures below show a custom order yet shipped with a sweet egg to signify the pregnancy of her mum!

For orders, contact me (passionarte.handmade(at)yahoo.it or throught the contact form in the upper right corner of this page or on my Etsy shop ).

Sfortunatamente (o meglio, fortunatamente!) mi trovo molto impegnata con gli ordini natalizi e per i cake toppers (sopratorta) nuziali, che stanno arrivando tutti assieme, così ho veramente poco tempo da dedicare all'aggiornamento del blog, ma non vedo l'ora di potervi mostrare tutte le nuove creazioni! Ora, vorrei solo presentarvi questa decorazione per l'albero con una simpatica famiglia di pinguini realizzata, come sempre, in pasta modellabile. Si tratta di una tradizione che ho piacevolmente scoperto attraverso i contatti con i clienti USA: ogni anno la famiglia aggiunge una nuova decorazione natalizia che rappresenta ciò che di importante è avvenuto durante l'anno appena trascorso! Ad esempio, una delle foto che pubblico, mostra un ordine personalizzato già completato e spedito in cui un ovetto sta ad indicare la gravidanza della mamma e il nuovo membro della famiglia, che è in arrivo! Qualcuno ordina decorazioni in cui il proprio figlio ha un braccio o la gamba ingessata, con l'intento di sdrammatizzare la situazione!

La decorazione è disponibile con un numero diverso di componenti o con altri simpatici animali (contattemi usando il form in alto a destra, o alla mia mail passionarte.handmade(at)yahoo.it, o attraverso il mio negozio Etsy )

Moose and Zee birthday party: cake topper and centerpieces

2009-10-23T15:51:00.011+02:00

A lot of creative parents looks for cute and funny ideas and supplies for their children's birthday party. Lately, I received some custom orders for birthday cake toppers and centerpieces. This personalized creations will be keepsake as well for the children and their family. Today I'll show you those Moose and Zee themed, the funny couple of characters (moose and birdie) of a cartoon. For the centerpieces, it was an hard work, as all big pieces created with modelling clay because they need to be empty inside to be lighter! Particularly, I love how the cake topper turned out, so colorful and cute, with Zee sat on the polka dotted number one (the bottom of the base is made of a food safe material)! So, I decided to list it again on my shop, available for other custom orders.

Tanti genitori creativi, soprattutto oltre oceano, sono alla ricerca di idee simpatiche per i compleanni dei propri figli. Ultimamente ho ricevuto alcuni ordini per cake toppers (sopratorta) e centritavola personalizzati che hanno anche il vantaggio di durare nel tempo come ricordo sia per i bambini che per la loro famiglia. Oggi, vi mostro quelli che ho creato a tema "Moose and Zee", la simpatica coppia di personaggi (alce e uccellino) di un cartoon. Per i centritavola, il lavoro è stato impegnativo, come ogni pezzo di dimensioni grandi creato con la pasta modellabile, perchè deve essere vuoto all'interno per essere più leggero. In particolare sono soddisfatta del risultato finale del cake topper, così colorato e carino, con Zee seduto sul numero uno a pois (il fondo della base è realizzato con materiale che sia sicuro a contatto con la torta)! Così ho deciso di metterlo in vendita nel mio negozietto per altri ordini personalizzati.

UPDATE: this models are no longer available; read here about the newest model for the cute and personalized Moose and Zee cake topper!!

An original wedding gift idea: a personalized handmade clay miniature scene

2009-10-08T17:46:00.011+02:00

Today, I show you a funny miniature of a camping scene handmade of clay upon order for a personalized wedding gift! It's a cute project that I've completed some time ago. The client was looking for a creative handmade gift for a bride and groom that love camping and outdoor life. At first, I've proposed to her a sketch of my idea with a little "hot" version; nothing vulgar, just a funny element!

The client choosen the second version... so, here it is the drawing and the pictures of the work in progress and completed!

The miniature is full of details: fire, woods, trunk, bushes, flowers, grass, the tent is texturized and have a window with a clear plastic screen and a white background (I had some problems with the tent because I've created empty inside) and, of course, 4 malicious feet!

What do think about? Please left me a comment!

Oggi vi propongo un progetto che ho completato qualche tempo fa. Si tratta di un'originale scena in miniatura di un campeggio in montagna, realizzato in pasta modellabile, su ordinazione, come parte di un regalo di nozze. La cliente, infatti, cercava un regalo creativo e realizzato a mano per una coppia di sposi appassionati di vita all'aria aperta e campeggio. Inizialmente le ho proposto un disegno dell'idea che avevo in mente, relegando in un cantuccio una versione un po' più "hot" sorta all'ultimo momento; niente di volgare, solo un elemento divertente nella miniatura! La cliente ha scelto la seconda versione... così, ecco il primo disegno e le foto della realizzazione e del lavoro completato.

La miniatura è ricca di dettagli: fuoco, legna, tronco, fiori, cespugli, erba, la tenda (che mi ha dato qualche problema durante la realizzazione poichè l'ho creata in modo che fosse vuota all'interno) ha un effetto superficiale che ricorda il tessuto e una finestra con schermo in plastica trasparente e sfondo bianco, e, ovviamente quattro piedi maliziosi!

Cosa ne pensate? Lasciatemi un commento!

My Mouse ring bearer dish, featured

2009-09-15T10:57:00.010+02:00

My Mouse ring bearer dish is featured in the cute blog I Dreamed I Saw!
It's a sweet and original wedding ring bearer dish with a cute mouse made of clay applied on a mat white “biscotto” ceramic dish. It perfectly matches with my other creations, the Mice wedding cake toppers but it's also available with other little animals (sheep, owl, puppy dog, etc...). This mousy is so cute and sweet!! You can purchase the ring bearer dish for yourself or to give an unique wedding gift! The little mouse is made of white modelling clay not painted and left unglazed (except the eyes, varnished to get a “light”) and it's fixed on the dish. His pink tail is heart shaped. He is available in white, grey, brown and ivory. The dish is mat white. The ribbon is available in white, ivory, pink and blue.
This mousy ring bearer dish will last with you as a keepsake after the ceremony and it’s hand made in Italy just for you...
If you are looking for another cute, sweet or funny little animal on the ring bearer dish or as cake topper or if you have other ideas, please contact me here (form on the upper right corner) or on my Etsy shop and I’ll make them just for you, for a personalized creation!

Il mio Mouse ring bearer dish (piatto per anelli nuziali con topolino) è recensito in questo bel blog: I Dreamed I Saw!

Il piattino per le fedi, al posto del più classico cuscino, è un'idea nuova per il mercato italiano ma già apprezzata negli Usa dove vengono proposti soprattutto piattini in ceramica con incisioni (i nomi degli sposi, la data del matrimonio, una frase adatta all'occasione o significativa per gli sposi stessi), colorate o meno. Nel mio Etsy shop, propongo un'idea diversa, ovvero il piattino con applicato l'animaletto scelto dagli sposi; in questo caso si tratta di un topolino perchè il piattino nelle foto è abbinato ai miei cake toppers. E' un oggetto carino e originale adatto anche per un regalo di nozze e rimarrà come ricordo perchè potrà essere utilizzato come piccolo portaoggetti (monete, anelli) dopo la cerimonia.

Funny and cute ideas for a wedding cake topper: my Sheep and Ram!

2009-09-04T12:24:00.014+02:00

As promised, I will uncover the "mystery" of the work in progress picture that I've posted two days ago! It's a custom project for a client who asked my sheep and ram wedding cake topper but with a big size (9-11 cm tall). Big pieces are more complex and it was an hard work because I love to create my pieces with precision and attention (that make them unique "pieces of art", keepsake for the years to come); moreover they must be empty inside to be lighter to not "sink" inside the cake! I'm satisfied with the result! What do you think?
They will be soon available on my shop for all clients!

UPDATE: now available on my shop (for orders and info, visit the shop , and contact me to passionarte.handmade(at)yahoo.it ) :)

A wonderful place

2009-08-24T13:04:00.010+02:00

This summer I have not gone on vacation! I love go for a trip especially to visit cities, parks, museums, to know history and cultures different of mine, but it's possible only sometimes! However, I'm lucky and I live in a very beautiful place with many wonderful beaches and I can dive in the crystal clear water when I want! Do you like it???
