Yeudi Bonilla

"My name Yeudi Bonilla and I want to share a bit about my life and my passion for art and craftsmanship.

"My childhood wasn't easy because I had to live with my grandparents since my mom had to work far away, and my dad left us before I was born. But thanks to the love and care of my grandparents, I was able to grow up happy and enjoy my childhood. My parents weren't artists, but from a young age, I felt a strong attraction to art and everything related to it.

"In 2019 I decided to follow my passion and entered the world of jewelry. It was a challenge at first because I didn't know much about the tools and materials needed, but with dedication and love, I gradually learned. Before jewelry, I made newspaper vases, painted and decorated with different figures using porcelain or beach sand, which I also sold.

"I've gone through difficult moments, such as when I had to buy all the necessary tools and supplies without knowing exactly which ones were the right ones. But thanks to my enthusiasm and artist's spirit, I assemble each piece with love and dedication. I never gave up, and today, I feel very proud to have persevered in my dream.

"To learn more about the world of jewelry, I have taken courses and watched many online tutorials. I use various high-quality pliers, semi-precious stones, crystals, wires, threads, among other materials. Some are difficult to obtain, but I always look for a way to get them. I also reuse wire spools and supply bags to contribute to environmental preservation.

"My dream is to have my own shop with all kinds of crafts, create jobs for other people, and help and train those who want to move forward. I work alone since I'm also a mother, a student, and a wife. My friends describe me as brave, determined, and meticulous in my work.

"In addition to my art, I enjoy walking in the mornings and taking care of my plants. Although I haven't received any recognition or awards for my work, I appreciate every purchase and positive comment I receive. I hope you really like my work; I do it with a lot of love and dedication."
