Winter wreath with poinsettias

I made this wreath as a Christmas present, but with its clean and simple red and white design it can be a nice decoration of the house during all winter months, not only around Christmas time.

The base of the wreath is a styrofoam ring, covered with white felt. I used red felt and a couple of yellow beads to create the poinsettias. Pins with red head help you fix the white felt and give the final touch for the wreath.

Monday Moodboard - 04 June 2012

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebration has started on Saturday in the UK and all across the Commonwealth countries. I watched the Thames river pageant online yesterday which was fascinating. I was impressed by the Queen’s energy at this age. The thousands boats on the river and the hundreds of thousands of people on the banks made the River Thames really alive.
I’m looking forward the Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace tonight!

I think after this short introduction, today’s Monday Moodboard won’t be a surprise. :)

Let me show you my latest work. I made it yesterday while I was watching the Jubilee celebreation. :)

Tiny little flowers

There are plenty of events, when a small, simple jewellery suites better. I made these two earrings for a gift to my friends. I chose the size, the shape and the colours to suit for the everyday office work. The grey one is tiny little, its diameter is only 1 cm.

Travel across Europe

After a 3 week long silence I came back with a really international post.

I’m sure most of you have started planning their summer holiday somewhere, maybe in Europe.

After a great holiday it’s good to save the sweet memories about the country you visited. A national flag key ring could be the perfect thing for it. :)

I started the collection with a French and a British flag. Both are available in my Etsy shop.

Hot red with tiny little white bow

Maybe it sounds strange, but this hot red earring was made to my grandma.

Oh yes, she's over 75 but she still wears red clothes and high heels only. So when she heard about my new hobby she immediately asked for a felt earring in red and white. She told me it would fit to her favourite suite. :)

I haven't gave it to her yet, but I'm sure she won't check my blog as she doesn't use internet.
