sand storm

Can't believe, I don't procrastinate :P I managed
to list the warm version of my storm brooch:
Sand Storm. It's a bit shorter than Snow Storm,
but sweet nonetheless :)

At first I wanted to use either Dupioni or Crepe,
but somehow the orange Bourette silk (Matka),
which I've bought long, long time ago to make
myself a jacket (which is never done though :/),
kept saying "pick me, pick me" and jumping to
my eye :) I think, it fits perfectly to the sun.
The rough texture shall express the heat on
the desert.

night owl

Oh my, I should have been in bed at least
3 hours ago. But as usual, something has
kept me away from my bed.
I've strolled on the web to keep up with
blogs I love uhm.. I've neglected this lately
and found me mentioned in Minderjahr's
latest post. Thank you, Suse!

Minderjahr is a famous German blog.
Suse writes about life in Berlin (and more)
in such a sanguine way. Berlin way maybe? :)
I've first 'met' Suse aka Revoluzzza on Flickr.
I really love Flickr btw, as I've met so many
talented people there.
She creates lovely items! I love her adorable
and dangerous dolls. She sells them in her shop.

While I was writing this, my boy has called me.
I went there and he told me something.
Guess what it was?! He had an idea, which colors
I should take for my next brooch!! :-)
He's such a sweatheart. He wishes me
good luck each time I list a new item just
like today .. uhm, yesterday (CET time :o))!


I have another one finished actually,
but it isn't well balanced - so it's mine :D
Oh well, this night owl has to go to bed now
or it will turn into a zombie!!

first berries

A friend of mine has told me,
that I should try to make something else
rather than necklaces. It's because
she herself doesn't wear necklaces,
but brooches or rings (even on her toe! :-)).
So, I thought, I'd start with brooches.
After some experiments (and delay since
I didn't found my pin backs in my chaos),
I've listed the first two First Berries.

I've photograph them on my new
paper backgrounds. I've bought
seven designs - just couldn't resist.
But now I can play a bit more with DoF
(if I want to) and they'd be a great help ^_^
