Monday Moodboard - Feeling sick
1. A cup of tea 2. Give Me My Medicine 3. Sick 1 4. Get well soon
My sweetheart is sick so my main thing to do today is tea for him. I hope it's not the flu, though he only has a sore throat and a little high temperature yet and not the typical flu symptoms. I'm not sick yet *fingers crossed*

Monday Moodboard
Yep, I'm sad. My grandfather passed away yesterday, quickly and without any signs. We sorta knew this would happen as he wasn't feeling great since my grandmother died last year, but still the shock is unbearable. And I'm just very very sad.
Hopefully you'll find happier moods at fleurfatale's blog.

My creative mess...um space
This is my creative mess today. Usually it's like this. Uhm. Some unfinished projects, mostly sewing this time. And felt rose making. And reparing a choker's clasp. And so on. I usually start everything and it takes long for me to actually finish them. Well I try my best :)

Okay enough of the mess, I don't really want to scare you away :) I also wanted to show this little pouch that I sew all by myself. It far from perfect, but it's so cute, and really gives a natural and lovely touch to any gift. Well mostly to jewelry as it's quite small. And it's made of linen trousers that I don't wear anymore, so it's totally green too. I cut the whole left leg into pieces, so I can practice making these pouches a little.

Flickr Favorites - Sew, baby, sew
1. The [avant-garde?] Sewing Center, 2. Sewing machine + bokeh, HBW!, 3. Sewing: A creative mess is better than tidy idleness, 4. Cute sewing box
I've been sewing a lot lately, well since I haven't sewn any in the past, the little I do now counts as a lot :) I'm still getting to know my machine I got, and it seems that sewing is pretty simple all I need is some borders and being very very accurate. These are not my strength, I have to admit. I always colored outside of the lines and could never cut a paper straight. But I'm determined that I learn to sew properly, so i won't give up, as I'm a good Capricorn :)

Pictures of an exhibition
Da Vinci - Lady with an Ermine
Tiziano - Man with gloves
Vecchio - La Bella
Have I ever told you that I'm a big Renaissance fan? And that I'm a Leonardo Da Vinci fan too? :) No? Well here's the opportunity.
Today we visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest with my family and saw the exhibition: 200 years of Italian Renaissance. The most important painting of this exhibition is Leonardo da Vinci's 'Lady with an Ermine' which is located normally in Kraków and it hasn't been out from there for 8 years, and it's really hard for museums to get it. With my father we're both da Vinci freaks, so we agreed that we must see this painting. It is simply gorgeous. And I liked the whole exhibition too, gosh, those beautiful faces. I studied especially the women portraits, their jewelry (of course!), their hair, their dresses...Lovely! And I also got to know that some of the ladies were not even real, they were just the ideal of women's beauty. Somehow I really like pictures of girls and ladies, I think I'm searching myself in them. I don't know if you understand this, but that's how I feel. I also admired Botticcelli too, he had a vivid color use, it was brilliant though mostly his works were religious that I'm not very fond of. (Would be great to see The Birth of Venus!)
At the exit of the exhibition there is a gift shop, where I really wanted to have a postcard of Lady with an Ermine, but they didn't have. I was shocked. I might print for myself then :)
The exhibition is open until March 2010, so if you're in Budapest, it's a must!

Brand new!
After the rings and the necklaces I came up with a new idea for the flower bouquets! Why not create a flower brooch? And I did. This is the first piece, it's quite big, really makes a statement :)

Banner dilemma
Okay so I decided to create a new banner for my shop a long time ago. Then I had no Photoshop on my computer, I had the hard drive problem, picture problem etc. Now that my laptop is finally working I started to use new picture editing software: Picasa. It's very easy to use, and so much fun, I like experimenting with pictures. But no matter how much I used it, and how hardly I read the how-tos I couldn't find size settings and couldn't give my pictures a smaller size, a banner size. So my boyfriend showed me Gimp which he uses now for a school project, and wow it's so cool. First I was struggling with the new things, names, options, but now it's working for me! So I quickly made my new banner and uploaded to my shop, replacing the old one. Byebye!
But then I thought that I wanted a bird in my banner somewhere, as I like them so so much, so I found this bird shadow amongst my files and tadaaa! Banner no.1 with one bird on the right.
But what if I have two birds?? Aren't they darling together?
Or only one bird but at the left side?
Or birds are stupid and I should put no bird at all and stick with the original?
Oh please help me!! Vote for your favorite and help me decide! You can check the winner in my shop later! And those who vote? They'll receive a virtual hug from me :)
Friday Favorites #14
1. Trench Swing Coat 2. UPCYCLED Purple VINTAGE Tote 3. Morocco earrings 4. Vintage Passion Deadstock Snake Skin High Heel ShoesI always wanted a gorgeous fabric coat in grey, but I ended up with other ones. I had a tweed Gap coat that I adored but after several winters I had to say goodbye to her. Now I'm having a purple one but it's a bit long so I'm thinking about cutting off a little, otherwise it's a really gorgeous coat too. But the real one is *sigh* would be a grey one of a soft and cozy fabric. Maybe one day! Meanwhile I'd dress it up with some purple accessories. Yummie :)

My creative space
Don't you just love stamps? I've been collecting them as a kid, filled some gorgeous leather books but then stopped. Then I was in connection with the whole world: first with my penpals, now with Etsy. I got packages from all over the world and I always admire the beauties. But when I saw this bird line I just had to separate them from the envelopes. I don't think I'm going to be a big collector again, but maybe I'll make a little picture or something of them.
Ah and here are the shiny new supplies arrived last week, I really adore these hoops in this lovely mint color.Wednesday, November 4, 2009
Fall fall fallen

I love how the Americans use two words for autumn. Autumn and fall. We only have one, but that means an other thing as well. Like fall. It is just perfect as at fall we see the leaves falling down from the trees. I really love the colors of the leaves at this late time of the fall, they're so gorgeous in yellow, brown and sometimes little green color. It gives me inspiration. So I created some jewels in a very very autumn mood. They look so so great together, aren't they?

Finally!
And just a lovely package with my Creative babushka inside! And there are two happy girls outside ;)
And look what all other gorgeous things I got from Mitsy: a set of her postcards, a cute button, belgian chocolate, a crocheted babushka and crocheted hairpins. All very sweet, I couldn't stop grinning. :))
Look how happy you made this girl :) I'm afraid she's going to be a bit lonely, so I should think of a little company for her in the future :) All is well when it ends well, and this is a really happy ending. Thanks a lot, Mitsy!!

Weekend Deal in my Etsy shop!
I'm a true ring person, I think a nice ring gives an impression to the people who you meet even when they can't see your outfit. A ring can mean a lot of things depending which finger you wear it on or what is the shape or material of it. When I was in my first year of university and we had to do an essay of a Hungarian word's etymology I chose 'ring'. And that was many years ago. My love for them has not passed though (and I only got a C for that essay :P) I have several designs of rings beaded, fused glass or glass flower bouquet. You can find the one that suits you in my shop!
