The Team
Cri (Cristina) Barbedo:
"As the co-founder of Lapin Curiosities, creativity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve explored many forms of making, including crocheting, knitting, photography, pottery, and jewelry, each giving me a different way to express joy, curiosity, and beauty. You’ll find some of my handcrafted jewelry and other creations here, alongside the playful world we’re building.
Lapin Curiosities was created as a space to celebrate the whimsical, the handmade, and the artful ; a place where creativity is shared, stories are told, and other artists and artisans are always welcome to join in. This is a work-in-progress, lovingly built one curious idea at a time, and I hope you’ll cheer us on as we grow into something truly magical."
Bea Barbedo:
"Like Cri, with the influence and talent of our grandmothers, we learned to appreciate and be part of the wonderful world of crafts.
I make jewelry using the weaving technique, with Japanese beads and Swarovski crystals; I love exploring with colors, as I believe they are fundamental to our well-being for their influence on our balance and harmony.
I also work with crochet, making Amigurumi and other intricate crochet work.
With needle and thread in my hands, I can do magic."
Douglas Gilbert:
'"he rabbits you meet at Lapin Curiosities were all created through my drawing practice, and they’ve become the little team that brings this space to life. Our greeting cards grow from that same creative process — some are prints of original artwork, others are digital illustrations, and a few began as watercolor designs that I later scanned and refined. My hope is that these pieces share a bit of joy, warmth, and imagination with you."
