Midsummer

The nights have grown into a few hours of dusk.

They say flowers picked during midummer have healing powers.

I love this magical time of the year.

Happy midsummer for those who celebrate it! See you next week!

Nomad girl

Yesterday I was too busy to get to blogging, but there still are a few things that must be done before the midsummer. Like showing you these earrings.

At first there were these small glass rondelles in colour of a sunset - just had to have them, although I wasn't sure what to do with these beauties. Then I decided to continue with the contrast of cool and warm shades - added the coolness of sky blue enamel and the warmth of antiqued copper findings. Just copper and glass again. Handcrafted by me. Earrings for a modern nomad girl.

Listing tonight.

New blog

Now I'm writing in Latvian too. This has been on my mind for some time now. I think I even mentioned the intention of doing so here somewhere on this blog, but managed to postpone it again and again. Writing in my native language feels like there's less distance between me and what I write and that's a little scary.

The new blog will focus mainly on selling crafts online and I hope to make good use of my experiences as Etsy seller and my knowledge in management of arts in general.

Why the blog is called Plāns B (Plan B)? This is how I sometimes feel about my creative endeavours as opposed to working in management. Selling my crafts online is like plan B when I've tried shops and craft markets. And blog in Latvian is plan B after blog in English. Something like that.

Meanwhile wishing you a happy weekend!

Zoo at home

Oops... Wednesday is the window shopping day on my blog, but while preparing the post for tomorrow I accidently clicked the Publish button. There's no way back, so let's do it today! This time I'm looking for some animals on Etsy. Enjoy!

Woodland fairy earrings

It's hot and sunny and I'm crafting like mad. These two things usually don't happen together. Yesterday I was into clouds - sketching, cutting, measuring and pondering. In other words - looking for a perfect cloud. Still need to finish it, but the result will be good. I can feel that. Meanwhile I can show you a new pair of earrings.

Mix of two enamels on copper ovals - they look a little like marbled gemstones now. Dangling glass nuggets in fuschia. Completed with antiqued copper earwires balled up and hammered by me. Just copper and glass.

Listing today.

Happy weekend!

Today it's all about pink. Firstly, here's one more pair of Candies. Layers of orchid pink enamel on copper, completed with sterling silver earwires. Small and minimalistic.

Secondly, the new Flora earrings - opal and pink version. The same pink enamel and tiny pink opal glass bell flowers, wee heart-shaped headpins and handcrafted antiqued brass earwires.

Listing both pairs tonight.

Happy weekend!
