saying goodbye

I was really happy to see, that my favorite piece
of the new collection was sold yesterday, but
to part with it was not easy. So, I've made this
art card for my customer. The drawing and
stitching process was the process to say
goodbye internally. Afterwards I felt a lot easier
to take it to the post office. How sentimental I
was, uh? I really hope, my customer will love
the Time Machine as much as I do.

contrast

My imagination is running wild lately. I've made
creations, which are not usually my style.
Weather is one of them (finally I could use my
long treasured supplies :D).



Cute? Last time I've made something cute was
surely 20 years ago!! I first doubt about listing
it in my shop, but I love it somehow. So I just
list it :) But then it's such a contrast to the
Time Machine, which is for the last week
challenge of the EuropeanStreetTeam SciFi,
hosted by Alecia.



I was thinking to make Weather as my entry
for this week challenge Think Men, which will
be hosted by Swedishjewels's girlfriend
Jealousydesign (This is what he told us about
the theme: It doesn’t need to be a thing for a
man. But it should be something that a man/
boy appreciates). But I'm not sure, either it's
the right one. Would a girl be happy to receive
this from her boyfriend or would she be hurt,
cause it's kind of saying "you are so moody like
the weather" and give him a slap in the face??
I must be a cynic to put this as an entry :P

And... pssst.. let me tell you this crazy creation
won't be the last! My crazy minds took over
the control of my hands at the moment ;)

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.

snow storm

Finally I've listed the second piece of Universe:
the Snow Storm brooch. It's the cold variant of
the storm. I'll list the other variant hopefully
on Tuesday.



Actually I wanted to list another piece as a second
one, but I'm still not totally pleased about it, so
it's now on hold. My perfectionism came up again ;)

universe

My street team on Etsy, the EuropeanStreetTeam,
has called for a weekly challenge, which is hosted
by a different member each time. I haven't really
participated in any of them up till now. I did send
an entry to Inger's theme Frost, didn't want to
list the necklace though.

I really love the theme of two weeks ago, which
was hosted by JKphotography: Minimalism.
I started to sketch my ideas. And they are gathered
to a new collection. It's all about Universe. I play
with different materials. At the moment I'm
following the impulse to work with silk, wool and
leather. But creations with glass will follow as well.
I'm still working on some ideas.

Today I've listed the first necklace of the collection:
4 Elements. It's kind of bold and delicate at the
same time. I wanted to make something bold for a
long time, but since I'm small, anything big looks so
ridiculous on me. And I somehow cannot create
something, that I wouldn't wear myself. So, I'm
really glad, how this one turned out.



Oh, and I've sent out my newsletter to announce
this new collection. Since it was my first, I wasn't
sure, how I should do it. Actually I wanted to post
a simple email to the subscribers, but then I
couldn't resist to arrange the text among some
images :)
