Halloween jewelry set

I don't like to celebrate, but I'm always like to accesorized ;)
I've seen these days pro/contra opinions about this holiday; .... I'm somewhere between, I can not say that I don't like it, but I don't dislike it so bad; what I don't like ...... well, those hideous costumes  of skeletons and vampires full of blood and disfigured faces, brrrr .... look terrible; instead, I like pumpkins carved and decorated, even to eat them, they are so tasty in any form of cooking .... yummii.
But I'm not talking about this holiday, and about SWEET PUMPKIN set, a necklace with assorted bead earrings, made to a mothers' whish who wanted to wear something in tune with the Halloween kids party.
So, the necklace can be worn by any breastfeeding mother, the little ones will surely be delighted by the contrast between the two colors, bright orange and duck egg color (I don't know how to say in english).
Like all of my babywearing necklaces, not only breastfeeding mothers can worn it, but anyone who loves art and especially handmade crocheted accessories; that's why I've made also, assorted earrings.

I hope you enjoy my new items and I'm expecting your proposal:)

Crosetam povesti vikinge

N-am mai postat de ceva timp, dar revin cu noutati frumoase, acesta fiind si principalul motiv pentru care am lipsit o perioada; Acum la sfarsit de octombrie sa va arat ce-am mai lucrat ;)
Azi o sa ma laud cu o " familie de vikingi ", asa am denumit eu ultimul proiect, o frumoasa provocare pe care am acceptat-o acum o luna si care mi-a luat ceva timp de gandire despre cum va arata; eu sunt foarte incantata de rezultat....ca de obicei :), sper ca si " vikingii" mei sa fie.
Tema, evident despre vikingi, iar subiectul trebuia sa contina o papusa - printesa razboinica, pentru o bebelusa, un colier de alaptare pentru mami si in premiera, un colier pentru tati.

Nu stiam prea multe lucruri despre vikingi, decat ca erau un popor de navigatori si bravi razboinici, bine...nici acum nu pot sa spun ca stiu prea multe, dar am selectat cateva idei care m-au inspirat in proiectul meu.





Ca sursa de inspiratie pentru papusa, am avut-o pe Astrid, o razboinica isteata si neinfricata, personajul principal din "How to train your dragon " ( film de animatie ); draguta inspiratie nu-i asa ?
A mea papusa n-are tinte si alte metale, nici blanita....desi mi-ar fi placut, dar fiind destinata unei bebeluse, am creat-o cat mai baby-friendly, doar fir bumbac si umplutura hipoalergenica.
Am pastrat cromatica si bineinteles am adaugat si celebrul coif de viking. Sper sa o incante pe micuta si sa-i fie un prieten de nadejde.








La coliere a fost ceva mai greu pana m-am decis cum sa le fac, in primul rand ca nu am mai lucrat pana acum pentru tatici, in al doilea rand ca trebuia sa le dau colierelor ceva influente vikinge; si uite asa am descoperit simbolurile din mitologia nordica, simboluri f des intalnite in bijuteriile vikinge sau in tatuaje.


Pentru colierul mamei am ales ca simbol, spirala tripla, ale carei origini nu le cunosc, avind in vedere ca apare si la vikingi, dar si la celti, dar se pare ca este unul dintre cele mai vechi simboluri ale spiritualitatii umane; De ce l-am ales pentru colierul mamei : pentru ca este legat de simbolul cercului  ( simbol antic al zeitei, al pantecelui femeii, al fertilitatii, al fortei feminine si evolutiei universului ); am adaugat si niste bilute de lemn imbracate in bumbac, precum si un cerculet de lemn, numai bune de descoperit si molfait, fiind totusi un colier de alaptare ;)





La colierul tatalui, evident m-am legat de un simbol masculin, the Helm of Awe, unul dintre cele mai misterioase si mai puternice simboluri in mitologia nordica; des intalnit in echipamentul razboinicilor vikingi, se pare ca inducea frica si oferea protectie impotriva abuzului de putere.  Si pentru ca si tatal bebelusei este implicat in procesul de babywearing, i-am adaugat si acestui colier un cerculet de lemn, foarte usor de prins de manutele mici.





Cam asta a fost povestea despre " familia de vikingi ", sper ca v-a placut si astept noi provocari din partea voastra.

" Shabby chic" necklaces

"Shabby chic" is a style that I really like, whereas combines hamoniously the old and the new, by highlighting forgotten things ..... another passion of mine;)
Coming back to my collection, I named so because they are made of recycled fabrics, indian sari silk and I could say ... .. they look 'tres chic'.

Since I was a little I liked to " play " with different type of materials and do stuff, such as flowers, brooches, ribbons or clothes for dolls. Lucky me I had a stock of recycled fabrics, at that time my grandfather worked at a textile factory and was gathering material samples all the time; not to mention the clothes cut and modified, so many things have passed through my hands  ....
Recently, all these actions merge in a single word: recycling, nothing throws away, everything changes; Searching on net for recycled textile ideas, I found all kind of wonders, made from scrap materials (yarns, strips) left over from the manufacture of the famous indian tunics, Sari type ... .and it was love of first sight ;)
How many things you can create with these materials, from brooches and necklaces to jackets, bags and other decoration items.
Their beauty is that they are full of texture, rich and vibrant colors and no one is alike to each other.

That's why, the Shabby Chic jewells are unique and I invite you to admire my unique necklaces. 
Among them you will see a necklace made from strips of recycled jeans, why not?




                                             
                                                                " Almond strings "

                                                           " Shabby flowers, no2 "
 
                                                           " Shabby flowers, no1 "

                                                               " Shabby silk "

                                                                " Shabby jeans "

If I gave you ideas and you have two skilled hands, I invite you to share them,  unless I'm looking for your "eco-friendly" proposals......... I can not wait to shake my hands :)) 
Lately, I laid my eyes on my scarves collection .... I'm just wait to see what will lool like the new recycled items.

Until then .... keep calm and enjoy recycling !!!
