The end collars noodles?
(via The Smallers)
 For a gift of Mother's Day original, the Swedish brand Formia Design has designed a unique service: the creation of silver jewelry inspired by drawings of your children. Thus dragged on, the works of your kids will follow you everywhere. |
Nt is not the first time in my wanderings online, I sometimes see Jewelry recalling the world of childhood.
These, however, I was struck immediately by how they are made.
Will be that Tita is exactly in this phase of artistic activity, that his designs are similar to those in picture .. anyway, I find these gems truly congenial to the spirit of childhood and an original idea for a gift to grandparents, to Mom and / or dad but also for the children themselves!
Introduces them Mia Van Beek in steel and Silver , Swedish transplanted in the United States, selling over Etsy but also Site where you can upload his own with a few clicks of the drawings your "painters" (as Tita would say) and get them directly home after 2 weeks of work.
This tells us Mia but it probably applies only to the American market, I believe that for the ships in Italy We want more time!

Many mothers know how uniquely hilarious and special their children’s early drawing can be. Now these images can be captured on one of a kind jewelry thanks to Formia Designs.
Artist and goldsmith, Mia Van Beek, is a Swedish born jewelry designer that has been creating one of a kind pieces for years. After achieving several degrees in jewelry and design, Van Beek began creating hand made pieces that earned her top recognition and praise. In 2004 she received the Best new designer of the year award at Stockholm jewelry show. That same year she created Formia Designs in Virginia, USA.
Van Beek became inspired by her own preschooler while trying to create a gift for her daughter’s teacher. Using her daughter’s own artwork, she created a unique gift. This one time inspiration has become the basis of a new and exciting jewelry line. All created from children’s artwork.
Parents can submit their children’s drawings and have them created into pendants, earrings, and keychain accessories. Instead of tossing out drawings, or collecting them in boxes, turning them into jewelry is a beautiful way to preserve those special memories. And children can feel incredibly proud that their artwork was turned into special jewelry. These can be the perfect gifts for parents, grandparents, teachers, and close friends.
The pieces by Van Beek can be a bit expensive. Some silver pendants cost more than $200. However, the price reflects the enormous amount of quality that is put into each handcrafted piece. Each piece of jewelry will become a special piece to be worn for years and years.
Would you ever consider turning your child’s artwork into keepsake jewelry? Do you have any drawings that you would love to show off to everyone? – Summer, staff writer

I love!
When it comes to art, my eldest son takes a quantity not quality approach. In contrast, my second son fills the page, focusing on details and carefully choosing his colours (I’m sure there’s a whole left brain/ right brain analysis to be had there).
One of my very favourite drawings is by my second boy when he was four. It shows a day at the beach and apart from the sun and sea, he has included at least thirty people lying on towels at the water’s edge. It’s the little figures on the towels that I love and they immediately sprung to mind when I spotted jewellery by Formia Design.
Designer Mia Van Beek creates superb pieces in silver, gold and titanium based on children’s drawings that takes keepsake jewellery to a whole new level. The process is simple – submit your child’s drawing to Van Beek who calculates cost depending on how detailed the artwork is. Van Beek’s interpretations of the drawings are spot on and I’m beginning to think that I might like to be wearing a ‘wonky little person lying on a beach towel brooch’ on my jacket this winter.
Titanium keyrings start at US$59. Jewellery pieces include pendants, earrings, cufflinks and charms. Contact Formia Design for further details.
