Collaborative efforts of the artistic kind often produce the most interesting work. This is certainly the case with brother and sister team Nico and Catalina Estrada. Catalina is an illustrator with a dreamy edge. Her work is soft,  detailed and delicatel. Catalina's illustrations have graced magazine covers worldwide, so the leap into jewelry with the help of brother Nico was and obvious progression that has paid off. The delicate range is called Katika, named after Catalina's most reoccurring character. With a very feminine, almost childlike innocence to their design, the jewelry is a perfect commercial vehicle for this amazingly talented illustrators work. For more go to www.katika.net by Lisa Evans
