So much wool, so much world, so little time... and ARTISTS EXPOSED

So. I did do many crafty things and made some new items for my little etsy shop, including a beanie hat, rainbow scarf, a PINK necklace. YES, PIIIINK! Me and pink, imagine! Just because the scallop shells are so overwhelming - the perfect shape, the gentle, subtle curves and the marble colours and so fragile, transparent when you look through them on a sunny day.... And I dared to join this overwhelming undertaking - I joined the group of people who do not hide and show the faces. Here is a website, an initiative of Vicki Diane, who updates it continuously and helps you to see who creates or collects for you (talking of vintage) all the fancy things on etsy.com. I only doubt if I deserve to be called an artist - I consider myself a craftman. Craftwoman. A crafty person. Now. Anyway - here is the address, see all artists :) ARTISTS OF ETSY EXPOSED And caught in time me before I vanish (every day you can see some new faces so... and yes, the yellow beanie hat can be yours and it is not so expansive as it is made of a nice, quality wool-mix and handmade by me and finished to the state of art - Oh, so perhaps I am an artist! ;P) Do check the main person behind this all - Vicki Diane, her creations are so daring, colourful and whimsical (I hope I do not misuse the word).

Primerose Yellow Beanie Hat

Called also tuque (I also saw toque) or slouchy hat or knit hat or knitted hat. In Polish sometimes called frygijka after people who wore it first, although, this one would be spiky falling forward :) Anyway, here is my version of the beanie; cannot be ordinary, can it? ;P

Little update

After holidays. Catching up with things. One of them is the gallery of holiday photos, which I started in Poland. It is big and includes a picture of Ukrainian fantastic embroidered folk clothes :) And there were many others, just photos were not that good, unfortunately :) Holidays in Southern Poland. There is plenty to do and see for everyone! I have also some crafty things finished and some more started and now I need some nice weather as my poor camera gets blind - it looks as if sensors got weak. But I found my colourful pencils so I might switch ;P
