Looking into her ruby-studded jewelry box, The Princess of Esmerlada gasped, and cried, “Where are my soutache earrings? My God! Where are my precious soutaches?” The royal attendants were equally shocked. Sewn with dreams, along with black strings, flower tassels, and wispy feathers, these creations had been the talk of the realm. All of the Princess’ friends had marveled at their shimmering glow, the intricate, hand-made craftsmanship. Soutaches were fantasies for the ears, and now their disappearance was cause for alarm. A Polish craftswoman from Bialystok, with delicate porcelain-like hands, and an eye for bespoke beauty, was called to the royal court. If anyone could calm the Princess, and prepare earrings for her gala, Karolina Kulak was the woman. She had made those missing soutaches, and could certainly make a few more pairs.
Once this creator entered the palace, an attendant greeted her, beseeching, “we are in a terrible time, can you use your magic, and start sewing?” “It usually takes me 5 to 6 hours to create something worthy of a beautiful woman. I must also find the right beads and other materials I buy in Poland. How can I do this in time for the royal gala? “Please, think of Princess, she is so unhappy.” I will try. I take special care with my work. I have been doing it for only two years but it makes me so happy, these beads, colors and shapes. At first I wondered if I could sew happiness…I only watched on YouTube to learn…and now I know I make women happy, especially because my (six-year-old) daughter Lena inspires me.” “We will hope for the best.” “I will sit here and work…I will try…I never duplicate a pair so whatever I create will be different than what the Princess treasured…but they will be special. “I only hope in the future she will look at my work on Facebook. My dream is to make really big necklaces, sparkling ones with greatly colored strings and precious stones that twinkle in the night. If she wore one, she would think she was living in the stars.”
