	Born in Tel Aviv in 1976, Sami’s creativity first expressed itself in writing. After finishing his military service, he moved in 2001 to Kibbutz 'Rosh Ha'Nikrah' on the northern Israeli border to write his opus. At the same time he was inspired by the amazing scenery in the area to make mythic sculptures out of sea shells, corals, tree roots and other found materials. In 2002 he met Adi Prahia by chance, and they began working together to produce their innovative jewelry. In 2004 they opened a studio-gallery called Adina Plastelina in Rosh Ha’Nikrah’. Their jewelry designs proved themselves so popular that by 2005 they were able to move the studio-workshop to Jaffa.		Born in Tel Aviv in 1976, Sami’s creativity first expressed itself in writing.

	==Adi Prahia==		==Adi Prahia==
	Adi Prahia was born in Holon in 1983 and like most children enjoyed playing with plasticine and modeling clay. She studied Art History at college where she came across the millefiori technique, which traditionally used glass to produce pretty beads and jewelry. Adi and Sami realized that this method could be adapted to make use of modern materials. They began to experiment with polymer clay which is very easy to work with. Polymer clay bakes at low temperatures in a simple toaster oven and doesn’t require the large expensive equipment used to make glass or a kiln to fire the clay in. Additionally polymer clay holds its intense color indefinitely and can be combined with precious metals like gold and silver to produce beautiful jewelry.

	==The Technique==		==The Technique==
	The Millefiori technique was originally developed by the ancient Egyptians to produce small glass mosaics. The method originally fused different colored glass rods together in a column which was then stretched and cut into thin slices. This kept the original pattern throughout, rather like a stick of seaside candy, and produced exquisite glass beads and other jewelry. In the Middle Ages this technique was used by Italian glass workers in Venice who gave it the name ''millefiori'' (a thousand flowers).

−	Adina Plastelina uses the same technique, with polymer clay instead of glass, as a basis for their jewelry. Once they have the initial design, they mount the thin slices of clay in silver or gold and seal it with enamel, to create beautiful pieces of timeless jewelry like necklaces, earrings and cufflinks, which are suitable for both men and women.	+	Adina Plastelina uses the same technique, with polymer clay instead of glass, as a basis for their jewelry.
