random things

Some random things I don't know how to combine in
a post, so...

1. I'm always amazed by tessellation origami (even
more amazed by the patience of the maker ;)), so I
wanted to try my hands on it. Well, I ended up with
a strange creature. But I think, I've learned some
facts about creasing.. so, maybe next time I will have
a tessellation origami ;)

2. Last year I thought I wouldn't need to go to the
hairdresser again for at least three years. But my
hair had split ends, that I finally let it cut yesterday.

3. Remember the butterfly, which found it's way to my
kitchen? I let it go after the photo shot. I'm not sure,
how this one came to the stairway. It has been there for
at least two weeks now. I didn't want to let it go outside,
cause it was wet, cold and windy (now I could if I would,
since it's warm again, but I'm not sure for how long..).

lost

Sometimes it was sitting on the curtain, sometimes on
the window sill and the last days it was on the floor.
But I wasn't sure either, how long it would survive in
here, since it doesn't get any food (does anybody know
about how long a peacock butterfly usually can live?
).

So, yesterday I decided to provide it with food. I bought
some oranges for us (my boy is having a cold) and put
a slice on a plastic cover for the butterfly (they always
serve orange and banana in the butterfly house). Using
a thin twig I managed to lift it from the floor to the
orange slice. I watched it for a little while. I couldn't see
it's proboscis, so I'm not sure, either it can eat or not
(and if it can't because it has lost it's proboscis e.g., am
I torturing it by serving the slice of orange?). I realize,
I know nearly nothing(!!) about butterflies...
Later in the evening it sat on the window frame. And
it still is this morning.

peace dove

A friend has given me a link about origami lately, which
has of course brought me back to crease paper :) Thank
you, Akiyo!


So, when I got some sales, which meant to be Christmas
presents, I wanted to put something in the box to make
it Christmas-y without looking too Christmas-y (does it
make sense? LOL). Anyway, I thought of a peace dove.
I've made a stamp, but I wasn't really satisfied. So I
googled a bit to find an origami dove and I found this
instruction.

I've modified it a bit and voilà..

Yes, yes, with the shadow frame.. ^_^

coffee time

It was dark the last days and so was yesterday, when
I took some photos for the new necklace. But this one
reminded me of a Polaroid shot somehow. So, I added
a frame. It's not the style of my shop, but I'm just
loving it ;)

walk!

Today was a beautiful day. Actually I could have ride
my bike, if I had have (let) repaired the tires (they
are mighty old - so, the back one is now broken). But
I haven't! I'm considering to change the tires myself,
but since I haven't even changed the inner tire once,
I'm procrastinating it... But I felt I need exercise. I've
been missing it since I couldn't ride my bike.

more photos

I decided to go to the city on foot. I thought along the
way. Thinking, that I didn't manage to turn my anger
into something positive lately and how I let it used my
energy up. Things haven't gone smooth the last days,
but hey, they are here for something good, I think.
There are some lessons I should learn from.

(I got a forwarded mail from a friend lately. I just
looked up on google for the origin and found out, that
some things are screwed up in the mail LOL
Anyway, I'm agree with most of her life lessons.)

anger

up in the sky

Sometimes a short phone call could ruin my mood for
a whole day. Like this noon. Afterwards I felt the urge
to walk to calm me down instead of the cleaning I've
aimed for this morning. So, I did. I went to the forest
and walked around for about one and a half hour.

autumn leafs

The forest was inspiring as usual, but the walk couldn't
really calm me down. I feel somehow really exhausted.
Ugh!!! I'm considering to ignore any phone calls or even
to unplug the telephone on my free weekends...
