Handpunched-handdesigned-handcarved-hanstamped little tags :)

 

 Envelopes!!!!

  

I get so excited when working with clay! Im looking forward to the painting part which will come after 3 days of drying! I picked this type of clay coz I am trying to be as sustainable as I can during the creation process. This can not save the world but it can save some electricity and makes my crafting more mindfull. :)

 

Wonderful little video from a creative girl who dared to change her initial path :)

Here is the difference between buying something in the shop and getting something from crafters: the first is so impersonal but with the second.. you enjoy what was done with the packaging and you would always receive a small surprise inside which shows how thoughtfully the product was put together :) Love and care are the things that caracterize crafters and people that make things on their own this is why I support it!!

 

One last but not least things that arrived today..my EBay old lamp for the studio :)

 

Illustration inspirations?

 ..inside your head!

Sustainability

..everyone talks about it in such a diversity of areas.. crafters can apply it too!

We use material that can be reused, repurposed or recycled..

Over the hill..

Laugh, you may laugh
You can laugh at me for days
You may spit at me if you want

Cause I’m here I’m still here
Everybody seems to mean so much
Everybody seems to think I’m fine

Look at me
There were more to see
There were more to be proud of…

IT’S A LIE!

‘We were brought up in a system that made us believe food grows on shelves, clean water springs in bottles, health is in the hands of the doctors, education lives in an establishment and money is the key to all. It is time to realize that all this is not true.’

Is it only me ? When I start from one site, it gets me to the next and the next and the next and after 4 hours I realise that I forgot what I wanted to do in the first place...

Clouds can be gray but it depends on which coloured sky you see them :)

 

Gray clouds in a pink sky then! (From my clouds collection, to come in Dawanda&Etsy shop)

Inspired by the greek kitchen..the beloved herb, thyme :)

  Try different things..you might never think that it is ready but it is perfect as it is! Now repeat with replacing "it" with "YOU"!
