Sunset on the beach :) Part 1


I was inspired by the sunset in a beautiful bay. The memories were filling my senses. I felt the smell of the air, it was a mixture of the breath of the see, smoke from a barbecue, a delicious wine and a very little touch of lemon, spicy perfume.
 I even felt a light wind of my skin. I started to remember the colour of the sky, how the clouds and the setting sun playing with the light. I just felt happiness. 
And i put together this boho chic earrings :)



Gold plated, silver earring with tiger eye semi specious stone, Swarovski crystal beads and dyed shell


By the way about the meaning and healing affect of gemstones there are always plenty of explanations. If You are interested, i will tell some of the positive effect what is said about If You are wearing tiger eye stone.
It brings harmony and focus to the mind. It is bringing good luck and protection from evil eye. Attracts beauty and abundance.

This is where the magic starts :)

When i have learned how to make a traditional wet felt from wool I became so exited. It seemed for me as a magical process, although this is a simple, but very old method. 
Humans making felt since thousands of years. Because felt is not woven and does not require a loom, it is quite simple method  to make it and probably the earliest way to make fabric.
 If you want to make felt, you need sheep wool, warm water, soap and your hands.
 Nomadic people were using this method to make non woven fabric things for they life, for example  tents, blankets, carpets, hats, bags and so many other things. 
Merino wool and alpaca wool are the finest material to use. 

This is where the magic starts :) dyed merino wool
And here are some of ready examples, what i have made




This is a handmade telephone case. I used 100% fine merino wool, and i decorated with sea shell and glass beads and  with embroidery.
