another home

Hello my dear friends,

I am in the middle of something...it is called moving....a very exhausting process and I have no energy for other actvities. All my stuff are in boxes and I can't find anything. uhhh, but the new home is sooooooo for me :)) because there is a backyard and I have so many projects on my mind and now I have the space too.

But I will always remember my first flat click

Now I have to go because I have more thing to pack...


until next time,
stay calm and moving out

arta in portelan pe breslo.ro

Cred ca multi dintre voi stiti deja ce inseamna breslo.ro, dar in cazul in care drumurile internetului si a handmade-ului nu v-au dus pe acolo, o sa va fac eu munca mai usoara si va ofer adresa de www.breslo.ro sau click aici.

Este locul unde artistii handmade isi pot expune lucrarile pentru a fi admirate si cumparate. Este locul unde inveti cum sa faci dintr-un recipient folosit un lucru inedit-vezi rubrica blog. Dar nu in ultimul rand este locul unde cunosti oameni ca si tine, care impartasesc aceleasi dorinte si vise.

In ultima vreme am facut o pasiune pentru ceramica/portelan. Inca nu am ajuns sa lucrez cu portelan, dar am incercat ceramica magica si dupa multe, multe experimente esuate, am reusit sa invat capriciile materialului si am scos-o la capat intr-un final.

Cautand oameni care sa lucreze cu acest material, nu mica mi-a fost mirarea sa vad pe breslo acesti minunati artisti si am hotarat sa va prezint lucrarile lor.


Sa va fac cunostinta cu Oana Stoica de la Oana Stoica Ceramics,  lucreaza cu portelan decorat in tuse subtiri de culoare, pana la elemente de tip Pollock.
OanaStoicaCeramics


Minunata Jasmin de la Jasmin Blanc, care nu inceteaza sa ma uimeasca, realizeaza de la accesorii pana la obiecte decorative, folosind diferite tehnici pe care nici nu stiu sa le numesc :)

JasminBlanc


De curand am descoperit-o si pe Mariet de la Mariet, care te poarta pe alt taram prin lucrusoarele ei, un loc unde timpul nu fuge ci merge in tihna, cu accesorii imbracate in haine populare.

Mariet


Si ca sa ramanem in zona de basm si elemente traditionale, va fac cunostinta si cu accesoriile iesite din manuta mea, dupa mai multe incercari si diferite tehnici :), le gasiti aici la Friday Inspiration

Friday Inspiration

Cam atat pentru ziua de azi, dar stati linistiti, cautarea nu a incetat! O sa mai caut lucruri handmade care sa ne aduca zambetul pe buze si la momentul oportun, o sa ii prezentam frumos, gata de livrat :)

Pana atunci nu uitati sa apreciati lucrurile facute cu dragoste!

Love, ( HANDMADE!)

pimp my pillow

Hello again!

you remember this, don't you?

The spring is here and now is time to change all that flat pillows that are standing in the corner of your sofa and have some with more personality!

Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell you to throw them out!(yet :)) Today I'll give you some tips on how can you improve your pillows with a minor effort and a few bucks.

So let's have fun :)

what do you need

fridays inspiration,friday inspiration, diy, pillow, pimp my pillow, tutorial, inspiration,sew lesson,
Add caption
-an old pillow(or do one-I did mine in a half an hour-it's very simple, trust me, I an not a sewing expert and I pull it together so if I could do it, You can do it, just try and make mistakes and do it again and again , just don't lose your enthusiasm)


then you'll need:

Cut a piece of fabric:  length--> it should have with 5 cm more than the length of your old pillow
                                 width --> 1/2  or 1/3 of  the width of your old pillow

Depends of your material, it might be necessary a hem on the length(mine was ok without one) and you have to saw the width of your fabric to the old pillow.

It should look like this

Now let the magic begin!

do something that I call a fabric ring, just like in  the image below

mine is 4x8 cm, depends on your piece of fabric cut earlier and just use it like I did



and now you can enjoy your free time

This is a cute bow! :)

Thank you for stopping by! See you next time, until then DON'T FORGET TO DREAM!

love,

visiting my hometown

Christ is Risen!

Last Sunday we celebrated the Resurrection of Christ and like the majority of students/ young families, I went to my hometown where time stopped. All is the same, the people, the relations between them, the city, the nature, the city spirit.

What I like when I go home is that I remember about myself in highschool and it was a period of revelations for me and I can not forget it.

I like to share with you some photos that I took this year.( I use my father's camera, sry for the date appearance)

 Delicate dandelion! Make a wish!

Lately, I was a little busy with my degree project, but in meantime I had some ideas for my next handmade work, so it is time to reveal this ideas :)

Sometimes I can paint, but only sometimes- depends on how I feel. If I am calm and happy then I can paint, if something is bother me then I'm not good at this.

So, here is what I achieved to do so far

before photoshop part 2

Once upon of time there was no Photoshop,( yes, you have to trust me on this) and back then, the things were made different with much effort and a lot of fun.
Today I'm going to talk about the meeting between Philippe Halsman and Salvador Dalí. The first one was a great photographer from the '30 and the second one was a brilliant surrealist mind. The result from this meeting- a surrealist picture :)
