Beside drawing, I am working on my Etsy shop.
I love finding new gorgeous items on Etsy, so every once in a while I spending a few hours going through shops and listings.... here's what I have found today!

I am enchanted by them all but just look closely on this Kentucky Derby Hat from BoringSidney shop. OMG all of their hats are amazing. Just WOW!

This is also something very special. Spring Wreath from The BullBungalow made with grapevine. Gorgeous.

So yeah, hopefully my silk paints will be delivered today so I could start painting. I miss it!
In the meantime, enjoying ETSY finds :)

Lady with a Book

I love Jane Austen! All books, most films and the famouls BBC series (I could watch it all the time). I would love to make a silk scarf with Jane Austen theme, so firstly I'm looking for inspirations. Here's some fabolous regency related items, all from Etsy... and of course the treasury 'Lady with a Book'

This fabolous work of art is literally made from a book! How cool is that? This is really a "triple layer of twirling fluttering loveliness" A great gift for a Jane Austen enthusiast, indeed!

Dreamming of May

Magnolia tree in our garden just bloomed... for the third time this year! It has very few flowers, but they're there! Great, dark pink, gorgeous flowers! In this part of the garden you may almost feel a breath of May... 

It inspired me to create a silk scarf with magnolia flowers, but first, the beautiful items in treasury...

Silk scarf Autumn Leaves... and a treasury!

Nowadays, I can feel autumn in the night air... the sun is getting colder and smaller on the sky. I just want to cuddle up at home with my laptop and good green tea :)
In our family garden, there's a beautiful maple tree, that has yellow leaves during the summer, and then it turns golden. It inspired me to create new silk scarf called Autumn Leaves in gold and brown colors.

The silk scarf 'Autumn Leaves' is quite big (90x90 cm) and it's ready to be sent!

I love this color set, so I decided to create a treasury inspired by gold - brown (and just a hint of violet) composition. Enjoy!

I really like this bracelet! It's so rare now to find a jewelery from wood - I think it's a wonderful material. I like the idea of oak and walnut (such strong trees, very meaningful) As the marker says 'the wood beads used on them are made of leftover woods' - very important!

And finally, here's the Warm Autumn Glow treasury - I love all the items, I adore the colors! Happy sales, everybody!
