Fun with Potatoes

Hello!

We have such a strange weather! It's the end of March, but it looks like the beginning of December!

Well, it's not the reason to fret, because the sun is shining brightly :)

Quite long ago I read that stamps can be carved out of potatoes, though they wouldn't be long-lived. Today I tried this and it was really fun! If you like stamps carving I suggest trying :)

Have a nice mood & excellent weekend.

Cook Figs

Hello! I'm here to tell you that my Fig Pie recipe is posted on They Draw & Cook! I'm waiting for the results of their funny contest. About the recipe: at first it was just watercolour and coloured pencils illustration, but I found it so cool to play with Photoshop effects that I decided it to be in sepia.

Hope you're in a nice mood :)

Just Paper

Hello! I'm back to share a new work with you.

I became keen on papercutting nearly half a year ago, but my trials were rather modest. Well, I tried some inscription with little details and then I made a simple birthday card of it. It looks lovely to me, I really love simple things :)
Hope you're having a nice weekend!

Nature Inspired Pendants

Hello!

 I'm back with a portioin of pendants I made finding inspiration in books about nature and blogs of various artists, especially I enjoyed photos from this magnificent blog. I made them of plastic and then painted with watercolours. I like them for their pretty natural look... they are so plain :)
Have a nice day!

Spring Mood

Hello!

A bit of spring embroidery is so cheerful! It creates beautiful mood out of nothing :)
I made this pretty little brooch with a piece of fabric I found somewhere in my stock. Then I embroidered it and I really enjoyed the process.

Wish you a beautiful mood and inspiratioin with the beginning of the spring :)

Spring...

Hello!

In fact it's winter, but I feel that spring is coming already :)

Little Doll

Hello again! Meet Laura!

I'm very glad to introduce my first doll. I had no experience in dool-making, and this one isn't really perfect. But as for me, she is very nice and lovely, it's hard to judge my own (and my first) work very objectively :)

So I'm just happy that she's done!

She has all things handmade: a little rug, a miniature book with pictures of flowers, her clothes and a beige beret, that I especially like.

Tomorrow Laura will meet her owner, and I hope their love will be mutual :)

Have a nice day!

The Last One

This is the last (but the biggest) valentine card for this year :) Hope you'll have a LOVEly holiday!

Preparations

Hello! I'm back. I continue trying myself at cardmaking. There are my Valentine Cards that are made with the simplest materials and technique. I have a lot of fun doing them, and it's really addictive.

Happy New Year to Everybody!!!

Happy Holidays! I wish you a lot of joy and happiness!

Holiday Preparations

Warm Candlelight

This is the candlestick I made yesterday. I used a stencil and a sponge to draw these snowflakes.

Holiday Recipe Contest

I submitted two recipes for They Draw and Cook Contest.  It's really cool! Thanks to Nate & Sally for such a great opportunity to participate!
These recipes are my favourite ones. They are really tasty. Especially in winter :)

Frozen Pattern

It's getting colder and colder! But this pattern is just beautiful!

Have a nice day!

Winter Has Come!

I love it!!! Winter is the most beautiful season for me. I like snowflakes, they are so magical!

And as I love it so much, I did a badge with a little green snowflake.

 

That's the view from my window. The weather is SO frosty, but sunny! 

And all this snow has fallen for the day! It's fantastic!

Elephant Bag

I'm happy that Geninne Zlatkis let me use her wonderful print to decorate my bag. Thank you :) That's the result!

It's Autumn

I realize now that Autumn has come! And the Halloween is approaching! It's not very common holiday in Russia, but still it's a funny day. Wish you the most horrible Halloween!

Little Pieces

There are two new badges I made. They look very natural, I think.

I've found these old works made with pastels today. They look fresh and plain. If you like them please, write few words. Have a good day!

Personalizing

I'm glad to get back! There is the result of my attempts to do a good imprint. I learnt to make stamps with the help of Geninne Zlatkis's Tutorial. Thanks a lot, Geninne :) Hope that you'll like it.
