HERE&NOW

Ontario-based Helena of here&now makes wearable stained glass.  She writes, “The name of my brand – here&now – originates from my credo: ‘To live life here and now.’  It is a mix of cold industrial and warm natural materials. It stands for minimalism and origami-like geometric shapes and expresses monochromatic beauty in simple things.  I design, create, photograph and package all items myself. All of them are hand cut , so each is one-of-a-kind and crafted with love. ”
