Take me to Munamägi!

This is what Latvians do. They go to Munamägi. Now and then. Often. About once a year like me. The proportion of cars with Latvian number plates in the parking slot was 6 out of 8 yesterday afternoon. That's quite common sight. You can even buy the entrance tickets for the observation tower with Latvian currency there.

Actually it's called Suur (Big) Munamägi and it's located in Estonia. It's the highest point in the Baltic States - 318m (1043 feet) above the sea level. The pictures are taken form the top of the observation tower.

The beauty of the landscape, the closeness to Latvia and 30 years old extremely popular Latvian movie do the trick. A place to fall in love with.

Have a wonderful week!

Toffee earrings

Have I told you that this is my favourite style of earrings at the moment? I'm expanding my Nomad Girl collection with one more pair.

Nut brown enamel, tiny delicious brown glass rondelles and lots of copper. Toffee at its best. Listing in my shop tonight.

Hope your week has been productive too.

Happy beggining of the autumn! And have a great weekend!

Toffee for breakfast.

Shop update

Hello Monday! You might want to know how I succeeded in fulfilling  my weekend plans. Everything is done except blogging, but I'll catch up with that during the week.

As promised I took pictures of my latest creations. Two delicate and simple necklaces with a little rustic feel about them. The pendants are small - just 3/4 inches (that's less than 2cm).

Love how the opalescent white glass bead reflects the orange enamel.

The first shot of this one I showed already on Friday, but the lights weren't good and the purple looked too blue, so it needed a re-shoot (that's why the Friday post has new picture too).

Both necklaces are already listed in my shop - here and here.

Hope your week has begun on a productive note too!

Plans for the weekend

It's going to be pretty busy this weekend. Among other things my plans include taking pictures of the jewelry I've just finished, writing the blogpost for my other blog and listening to the livestream from Etsy Summit in Berlin.

See you on Monday!

Magical forest

It's time for window shopping on Etsy. Inspired by the lovely weather and walk in the forest last weekend. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

This week I've masterfully procrastinated the creation of new things, but otherwise it has been busy and wonderful time. Love autumn!

The dahlias are from my garden. I took the picture this morning to end the week with the theme from Monday. It was cold yet sunny morning today and dahlias posed so nicely.

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

September

I love the sunlight in September. It was rainy this morning and I ended up taking pictures of raindrops sparkling in the sun.

Happy weekend!

Happy beginning of the school year!

Purple and emerald

On Thursday I showed you these in the making. Today I waited for the right light to photograph the finished earrings. It was one of those days when clouds literally run across the skies and light conditions change every minute.

Glossy purple enamel on copper half circles, small emerald green glass beads with copper finish and handcrafted copper findings. New pair of Nomad Girl Earrings. The colours are a little muted and not as bold as usually. 

They are smaller and lighter than it may appear - the half cirle is just 1 inch (2.5 cm) bright and the beads are tiny. There's a lot of motion - I love how they swing with every turn of the head.

Already listed in my shop.

Friday

Have a nice weekend!

My creative space

This is how everything looked like before I lighted the torch.

These will become earrings. I must confess my current obsession is emerald green.

These don't look so nice. See the cracks! I think they cooled down too quickly. Enameling is a rocky road to learn more patience.

August pleasures

One of the things I love about August is blooming heather. Along with mushroom picking and scent of ripe apples. And many colours and shapes of gladioluses. My grandfather was very good at growing them.

This week my mom made some cowberry and apple jam. She's very good at it.

Love how the summer slowly turns into autumn.

Wishing you a nice weekend!

P.S. And I'm very good at not showing you what I work on currently. But this will change next week. Promise!

Still life with horses

Window shopping series is back! Today I'm looking for creations featuring gorgeous animals. Four Etsy shops, four different materials and four different emotions. Enjoy!
