Packing etsy orders.

 I've been packing etsy orders recently and took few photos.
All the wee boxes are hand made by awesome me - took ages to sort out the template and then assemble them, but I'm pretty proud of the result.

I have already chosen the prizes in the giveaway I'm planning, so stay tuned as there will be some cool goodies up for grabs!

Granny Would Be Proud fair in Glasgow.

So, I'm finally in Glasgow, and I would like to invite all of you who live nearby to visit me on Granny Would Be Proud fair, that will take place in Hillhead Bookclub on 17 Vinicombe Street, this Sunday (13th November) from 12 - 5 pm.

I'll be there selling my jewellery and accessories (bookmarks, keychains etc), both for guys and gals ^-^

Get ready for Christmas - I'll gladly help you to pick the best gifs for your friends and family!

leaving feeling.

Next week, by this time, I'm going to be in Glasgow, Scotland, setting off with the new chapter of my funny life.
I've been waiting for so long for that moment to arrive - first I've been putting my money off, then I had that unfortunate accident, and I had to recover for long, postponing the whole thing for over two months that seemed like ages.

And now, that it's finally that close and I should be all happy, I actually feel a bit sad, and there's a number of wonderful people to blame for that. I hope I see them again soon.



I've set off with packing- it's so hard to decide what to take, and what to leave behind. I wish I actually could be as consistent in my plans to reduce my belongings as Dave from The 100 Thing Challenge, but that's just not happening (although I did reduce them significantly).
Apart from basic things like clothes etc, there are also books &dolls to take, all the things I use to create my jewellery, I'd love to take at least one film camera with me as well... It all gives me a headache when I think about it...

For those of you who live in (or are just passing through) Glasgow, you can meet me pretty soon during wonderful craft & fashion events, that I'm happy to take part in. I'll write about the dates and places in the next post. ♥

Commissioned pieces

Having lots of time on my hands recently and being forced by circumstances to stay at home, I've been working on custom jewellery commissions recently.
Here are two examples of pieces I've made: the first one was for Kamarza, a gifted doll artist, depicting her quirky yet wonderful dolls' orphanage:

Second one went to Koroa, yet another tallented doll collector and artist, and it includes her own illustration:

Here's a photo by Koroa of her doll wearing it ♥ :

So, who's next? ^-^

Four-legged girl pendant.

Ever felt worse because of being different than others?
I think that's how Josephene Myrtle Corbin might have felt in her childhood.
Born on May 12, 1868 in Lincoln County, Tennessee, she had not two, but four legs due to her body axis splitting while in early development. She had two pelvises, and each outer leg was paired with another, smaller inner leg.
She was soon a sensation throughout the country, and while touring with her family she managed to support the whole family with her earnings, which supposedly way exceeded the average income by that time.
According to the sources I've found, she grew up to be a beautiful woman, she has happily married by the age of 19, and raised five healthy children.*
An example, I daresay, that being different does not mean being worse, or does not necessarily bring misfortune.

Here's a pendant I made with an early picture of Josephene Myrtle Corbin - it's available in my etsy shop.

I love her striped socks and her Victorian-style shoes.

(also, remember all my doll pendants can also be worn by humans, they're just a bit smaller - if you want a human-sized chain please contact me before purchase)

New pendants from now on on etsy.

I've just made a listing with first of them - the others are on the way.
Here's a few photos of my Zooey so that you can check how they fit the MSD size (she's actually a bit smaller than MSD).

New pendants on the way.

I made some new locket pendants with vintage photos this weekend. Kittens, flappers, pierrots and all you could wish for. I dig those filigree chain clasps - they are just gorgeous.
All those pendants should be available in my etsy shop pretty soon.
