Monday moodboard - Spring

{1. urbanblue 2. Evgeniya Maslakova 3. azulado 4. kspirapainted }

After these last two weeks of extreme cold and lots of rain this morning the sun was shining, and it feels as spring is just around the corner. The political situation in my country has been very fitting with the bad weather, watching the news lately just depresses me so I thought a fun, colorful moodboard might help me cheer up and remind me and everyone else after winter comes spring and hope :-)

Wishing everyone a great week,

Passing time

I haven't been creative in any other way than to keep my 4 year old nephew busy this week. His teacher was ill so there's been no school and with the freezing cold playing outside is not an option. Here are the paper and pipe cleaners dolls we made, the green one is him, the red faced one is me and the one with red hand and feet is grandma. Super easy to make and he loved them too :-)
Wishing you all a great weekend

Monday moodboard - Winds

1. 10antemeridiem 2. ollina 3. Clariceonline 4. mayagencic

The winds today are so strong that made it really difficult to go even near the beach for my everyday walk, and they say it's only going to get worst. So with the gray and cloudy sky here's a moodboard to go with it.

Snowy days

It's been a freezing cold week, today there was even a little snow falling too. Too little to actually consider it as snowing but unfortunately it has been too cold to be able to work in the studio. So I've been looking around the internet and have collected a lot of ideas of things I want to try:
  making snow globes, not Christmas ones but with a more general theme so I can have them in the house all year long :-)
  making some shrink plastic fishes, got jealous seeing Evdokia's kitty and bird!
  finish some paper mache houses I've had them unfinished for almost a year now, it's about time I think ;-)
  draw on pebbles, I collected a few last time I was at the beach so that I could do this project.
These are just a few of ideas bubbling in my head, hopefully some will actually become real!

There is still a sale going on in our shop, 20% off on selected items, like the green necklace you see in the photo.
Have a great week

Flower Tags

Can you tell I'm really missing spring and its flowers? I made these gift tags from thick backing board, I started by cutting two different sized circles. Then painted their back side and stamped it but you could just write a little message, that would be pretty cute too! From the graphics fairy I used two flower prints (1 - 2), I actually fitted four flower graphics in one page then just used two of them. I glued the circles in random places of the flower prints, on the unpainted side of the cardboard then cut of the excess. Punched a hole with the cropadile thingy, tied the pink/red thread and they are perfect for my little gift bags.

Now I have two remaining flower prints, I'm thinking of making something with them too, just haven't decided what that will be yet :-)

Along the beach

I took a long walk along the beach today, the weather forecast for the next few days is rainy so I'll probably won't be able to go on my daily walk. There weren't many people around, it was pretty windy, with heavy clouds but the sun came out for a few minutes. I only had my pocket camera and took a few photos, I'm hoping to go soon with the big camera so I can take some more!
have a great day (and rest of the week)
