Sunday Interior Design guide

This week we have a collection of wonderful rustic home decoration ideas curated by Anna! I have a soft spot for the bookshelves, so my favorite item is that round book shelf (predictable!). I like all other items though.

Creative day of a ceramic artist

Do you like to watch an artist at work? I know I do! I am wondering how all those wonderful things are born: pictures, prints, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics products... everything handmade! How much time does it take? What tools and materials are used? What skills does it take? I find it fascinating to follow the artist's hands and get amazed how easy it looks... then, maybe, try it myself and get amazed again that it looked easier than I thought :) 

Today I have my first guest artist who kindly agreed to show her creative day. This is Anna of Gentle Decisions. You might know her already if you had been following my blog. Anna makes beautiful collections of Sunday home decoration ideas and Monthly wedding catalog for my blog (You can see all Anna's guest posts here.)

 I will let Anna to take over from here :)

 -----  

Hi all! My name is Anna. I am a ceramic artist. My passion and specialty is flowers. I strive to create my flowers so they look as real as possible. 

Today I will show you how I make cherry and apple blossoms. Here are my tools and materials:

First of all I make pistils and connect them to the stamens:
 

Now I need to make many petals and give them a dimension and texture of natural ones. Then they need to dry.
 

Here you can see that the apple blossoms are ready. Now I will start working on the cherry blossoms:
 

Here I dye the petals with a few tints of pink color:
 

Cherry blossoms are ready too now! They need to dry again:
 

Here are the finished apple blossom. They are drying too after the dyeing process:
 

Cherry blossoms need a few more touches with a dye:
 

The flowers are made for the hair clips and a ring. My first product in Etsy ever was the rings made of flower bouquets. They have become my signature product, so I always have them in my shop.
 

This is what I've made today:
 

I hope you enjoyed watching my creative day!

Jewellery Masterpieces. Watch by Cartier

Cartier – Secret watch with phoenix decor This unique wrist watch of the shape of a phoenix is made rhodium, plated with white gold. The eyes of the phoenix are made of emeralds and 3.53 carat diamonds. 3,010 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 80.13 carats cover the body of the phoenix.

Beautiful nature

I took this picture in a small flower garden in the center of Melbourne. This was our first day in Australia. We landed and went for a walk right away. I also have a very funny picture of my husband looking at a big spider that I took at that time (I was taking a picture of the spider and my husband just got into it naturally), but I won't show it, as I do not think he would appreciate that :)

Magical prize by Free Range Faeries shop

Enter for a chance to win a wonderful prize by a magically beautiful shop Free Range Faeries. 

This is what the shop owner Kate says about her work:

"I have been painting fairy and fantasy art for about 10 years & get inspiration for my art from lots of different places, I love fairy stories, myths and legends and I get lots of inspiration walking with my dog Sadie in the beautiful magical countryside around where I live near Snowdonia national park in Wales. As well as selling prints & originals of my work I also hand make a range of greeting cards & gifts using my artwork. I also take commissions for faerie portraits & hand embellished personalized cards, recently I have been experimenting with jewellery making & love to use items from nature sometimes that I have collected on my walks."

Shamans Calling; Gemstone, Feather & Fossil Pendant 

This pendant is handmade using a real ammonite fossil, I wanted to create a magical natural earthy feeling to the pendant so I used a selection of real gemstones, feather and honey bee & feather charms on extendable brown wax cord, the cord is finished with a bead & silver plated crimp so it won't fray.

Gemstones: 

Tigers eye: For Protection & Luck 

Labradorite: Calms the mind & lowers blood pressure

Unakite: Stone of Vision, speeds spiritual growth

The pendant can be worn long or the cord pulled either side to wear tighter, to give an idea of size the Ammonite fossil is aprox 3.5cm

The pendant is presented in a purple velvet pouch with handmade art tag
