Where Sunshine Meets Crochet Art

Collaborating with Sonnenglas

At Sonnenglas, we have always championed sustainable and innovative ideas, so it almost felt destined that Nicky would become part of the family. “When I met Stefan, the founder of Sonnenglas, I was in a pit trying to pull myself out. I can say that Stefan came and threw in a rope to get me out and helped me to get cleaned up from the mess.", she recalls. That conversation sparked the idea of creating a concept together, that seamlessly suits our solar lanterns. Initially, Sonnenglas was a mystery to Nicky, which slowly unfolded to her, and now it’s a place she calls home. “The Sonnenglas lamp is something truly special,” she exclaims. “It’s like capturing something big like the sun, but in a small container.”

Sunny Bees: Heartfelt Uniques

Each crocheted bee is a little masterpiece. Nicky typically chooses colors on the fly from her stash, letting her intuition and faith guide her in creating fresh and vibrant looks. “Sometimes I run low on materials, and I dive into my supplies to find just the right scraps,” she laughs. And that’s exactly what makes every bee one-of-a-kind. When asked about her inspiration, she explains, that nature is her biggest motivation, and she begins her creative process with a theme that captures a client's personality mixed with her own creative flare to bring to life a simple, authentic idea.This blend of intuition and spiritual guidance gives rise to designs that are as joyful as they are heartfelt.

Art in Harmony with Nature and Sustainability

For Nicky, sustainability isn’t just a trendy buzzword - it’s at the very heart of her work. Much like our commitment to solar energy at Sonnenglas, she strives to recycle materials or creatively repurpose remnants in her projects. “Sustainability has always been important to me,” she says. For instance, she often uses leftover fabric from Victoria Yards in her pieces. This philosophy perfectly echoes the values behind Sonnenglas: harnessing the energy of the sun, fueling creativity, and promoting an eco-friendly, fair production process. The results are designs that are inspired by nature in both color and form.
