I came across Asta while browsing on etsy. Her beautiful work knocked me off my feet!
I had to ask if I could feature her so that I could share her wonderful work with you:)
Asta was born in Lithuania, however she now lives in the Blackpool resort in the UK with her family.The glass used in her work is sourced from Blackpool beach itself!
Asta enjoys knitting, crocheting, felting, flower bucket arrangements and photography. Those hobbies she inherited from her grandma and parents. Asta begun handcrafting as a child.
