Birthday Party Invitation (download for free!)

I have written of Victoria Antolini's art in 2013 in my virtual wish list here. I was fascinated with her art and particularly with her boats and ocean related prints. Since then I got to know her better and asked her to paint me a banner that would reflect my jewellery art. She offered the deer idea and it was  absolutely perfect for me!

Then just recently I realized that I would like to see that deer as a birthday party invitation. Victoria kindly helped me with that too. I am so delighted with the result! It looked as if it was freshly painted with pastel water colors when I printed it out. Absolutely lovely! (The link is just below)

Victoria still has her successful etsy shop. However she just has gotten even busier! She is working on a wonderful project! I am not allowed to tell you what it is just yet, but you can watch the progress in her Facebook page. It is all about boats and ocean. You will see a birth of a fairy-tale! (Stay updated by liking her page)

There will be more surprises from Victoria in my blog, so stay tuned!

Monday Inspirational Quote

What a wonderful idea!

Squirrel necklace, silver, copper

Bead Day. Beaded car

This is a Vochol, a cross between the Spanish word for the Beetle car ("voch") and the word "Huichol." It took seven months to create this car's look. This 1990 Volkswagen Beetle received over 2 million glass beads along with beeswax to cover every inch of the car’s exterior and the dashboard. This was all done by hand. The resulting car represents various aspects of its Mexican homeland, including landscapes, religion, and flowers.

Jewellery masterpieces. Paraiba tourmaline necklace by Giampiero Bodino

Necklace by Giampiero Bodino.  The magnificent cascades of sea green and blue African Paraiba tourmalines were directly inspired by Bodino's summer swims in Sardinia. "I was brought a box of blue and green precious stones and fell in love with them all," says Bodino of the birth of this necklace. "I just wanted to dive into these stones like the sea. So I mixed the different hues and tones of blue and green, as well as a range of sizes along with rough, cabochon and facetted stones. The result could have been chaotic, but I laid out the stones to create a harmony - an overall balance"

Virtual Wish List. Pierced leather corset Andrei Kanunov

If you looked through my virtual Wish list collection, you probably had a chance to notice my love for everything pierced :) I've found something else that is pierced and I love it too (of cause!) My wish list is full of unrealistic wishes, so a corset like this fits just well.

There is a link to the author's website under the picture. His website is in Russian, so you will need to use an online translator, or just go ahead and click on all the links in the menu. Enjoy!
