…masaniello

October 7, 2013 by christen | 5 Comments

If you lived in Naples, Italy you may know the name Masaniello. It is my maiden name. My dad is a second generation jewelry designer. If you’ve read my blog for a while, you have seen some of his work. Everything is hand-crafted & uniquely designed. I grew up watching him design & create and it’s the reason I feel so comfortable in a studio.

He recently linked up with Kelly from Stylish Patina to sell some of his work in her shop. Here is what you will find if you go in for your Chalk Paint.

Some of these pieces were actually made by my grandfather and finished by my dad. They are vintage in look and always a statement. There’s nothing like a huge ring to complete a outfit! I have boxes and boxes of them.

He is also a part of the Great Falls Studios, which includes painters, potters, photographers, and other high-end artists from the area. They have a Studio Tour coming up this month and it’s really worth checking out if you are local.

Congrats, Dad. I love that others can see the work that I’ve always loved & appreciated.
