Monday Moodboard "Eco print"

Hello folks!

I like to try something new and yesterday I visited a really cool workshop "Eco print" by JaneBoFelt. We know each other through Rusteam on Etsy and I was very happy that had such a great opportunity to try this technique. Eco print is dying technique. You use plants and flowers and it's more natural. I like that even you use leaves you still can use your imagination and can make more abstract pattern on the fabric. We worked with silk but you can use aslo wool, cotton and linen.

Всем привет!

Я люблю пробовать что-нибудь новое и вчера посетила очень интересный мастер-класс "Эко-принт - техника натурального крашения", который проводила Евгения Боброва aka JaneBoFelt. Особенностью эко-принта является использование только натуральных красителей, а именно растений. В данной технике используются листья, цветы, а также корни и кора. Особенно мне понравилось, что данная техника позволяет не только создавать отпечатки растений, но и делать более абстрактные рисунки на ткани. Вчера мы расписывали шелк, но вы также можете красить шерсть, лен и хлопок.

Dedication to Istanbul

In 2011 I started to make some silver jewelry. This process needs more time and more inspiration and it's harder than just put some supplies together. :) So far I have only two rings in my shop 'Rock me' and 'Summertime'. And also I made nice earrings I wear almost everyday - here is the blogpost about them 'I did it!'
 But today I want to tell you a story about a necklace I made this year. One of my favorite city is Istanbul, the place I always feel like I'm home and that's the only place I really miss physically. One day I was going home by local train and llistening to music as usually. I always have shuffle mode in my mp3 player so I never know which song will be next. Those day one of those unexpected songs was 'Ah Istanbul' by Sezen Aksu - one of my favorites. And suddenly an idea came into my mind and I took a paper and a pen and made a sketch - a necklace that reminds me Istanbul. This necklace has a shape of tulip (symbol of Istanbul) with three stones: two blue as sky and sea and one green as trees. For me this necklace is Istanbul.......
