The very first piece I have made was a necklace.

I have made it from 100% natural wool felt + different beads.

Later on I decided to try if I could make a pair of earrings. To do that I made felt balls using a wet felting technique.

Smaller balls are made from 3 different colors and wet felted.

The next project took me a few hours to make. Flower earrings with small seed beads accenting the center.

I am really happy with a result, I haven’t expected them to be so adorable in person. I can wear them everyday with jeans and t-shirts and they are going to accomplish any outfit. The color choice is not random, I wanted my earrings to be in Autumn/Winter colors.

The very next piece is one of my favorite and it is made from red wool + pearls in the center of each flower.

I think that is the most sophisticated design I have ever made.

Looking at these earrings you can tell that Christmas is coming because of the silver snowflake on top of the each earring and the red felted ball.

I am definitely wearing these at Christmas time.

P.S. I was thinking of selling these, so if you are interested do not hesitate to contact me.

P.S.1. You can learn how to make felt balls from this website.

To his surprise this baked dish is served only in the area where he lives! When we first he if i have ever tried this simple and unique dish but my simple answer was NO I DIDN’T! About a week ago Maciej discovered this wonderful cooking blog called “Zapiecek” from which we copied the idea to make cebularz. If you know polish you can read about it here. Tomorrow I am going to share some with my friends from my work place, and I can’t wait for their reaction!

Vintage, and made of copper, it has a slight patina, and has that rustic, burnished look. Such detail too! The veins on the wings, the antennae, etc.

Resting atop the pendant is the teeniest, most adorable vintage daisy cabochon. Just adds that extra bit of sweet!

Pendant attaches to antique copper “fancy” chain via two jump rings. This chain is very pretty and delicate, with its mix of flat oval links and figure eights.

Matching lobster clasping.
