About me
A few years ago, I encountered moss art in a television show. I instantly fell in love with it. I fell in love with Moss. But back then, I never even thought that it would one day become my source of livelihood. The path to establishing my own business for this purpose was quite winding. The Covid times, a divided society, an energy crisis, fear, and uncertainties prevailed in all directions. However, the motto "the right time is now and here" convinced me. Similarly, I took to heart the inspirations that came from strangers sent by the universe and decided to do what fulfills and delights me.
I would also like to mention my favorite quote from Coelho, that when you desire something deeply, the whole universe conspires to make it happen.
In the world of solo entrepreneurship, I am on my own for everything. Therefore, I hesitated for a long time about writing this section on my e-shop. I certainly don't want it to sound like self-praise. Running a one-person business has its advantages, but also its downsides. Among the ones I feel the most are not having someone to discuss my ideas with, missing the advice, banter, and laughter with colleagues, and even the occasional nagging from a boss lol, so I bother my closest family, friends, and lately even my customers. Thanks to all of them.
Similarly, I don't cultivate moss in my garden. Stabilized moss is my number one priority, and I buy it directly from a trusted European manufacturer. Therefore, it is always fresh, high-quality, and everlasting. I am satisfied with its quality, and I have verified it not only through the moss art on my walls at home but also through the contentment of my customers. I also don't handle the wooden base of my artworks alone. I have found great helpers and suppliers for that. I admire their excellent work, and I'm delighted with our excellent cooperation. We just "click" together. When I come up with an idea, they try to find the technical solution for it, and I trust that the wooden base will be perfect, in the sense of "just right." Finishing touches, painting, and fixing, I do on my own. Again, it's a creative challenge for me, just like the creation of the artwork itself. First comes the idea, and then I lay and glue the moss. However, it's not as simple as it may seem at first glance. Sometimes, I am my own obstacle, and the constant finishing work can drive me crazy. So, it's not that easy to handle everything alone. Well, as with everything else.
In the beginning, I had no clue that I would also handle the e-shop and all the technical aspects related to its establishment, connection, domain, assembly, and all the descriptions, products, and images all by myself. In the meantime, I have also become a photographer, graphic designer, copywriter, SEO expert, designer, salesperson, and PR manager. I have already done these last tasks some time ago, but they needed to be dusted off after two maternity leaves and especially adapted to my own business.
I can manage this business solely thanks to my family, my husband, my mom, and especially my amazing friends. Thank you all for your support. Entrepreneurship is an immense endeavor not only in my moss artworks but also in myself. Since childhood, I yearned for eternal beauty. Beauty, for me, embodies goodness. Thanks to stabilized moss and flowers that maintain their "eternal beauty" forever, I have stolen a piece of Faust's immortality, and I want to offer this immortal beauty to you. So that you can have a piece of the forest, a piece of eternal nature in your home, in your space, and embellish not only your living space but also your feelings and thoughts. A glimpse of something beautiful can brighten a person's minutes, even a day, a week, or years. In fact, their whole life...
Creating original and beautiful moss artworks for you is an immense challenge for me. And besides that, it requires a great deal of patience, creativity, and humility. These are the qualities that my entrepreneurship gives me in return. I believe these words are not just about me and will inspire you too. Who knows what they might lead to. Thank you for dedicating your time to me, which is a gift. Thank you for being there, because without you, I would have no one to create my moss artworks for.
With love,
