WORK IN PROGRESS
Pin It
While working on a piece, I also love to make improvisations.
Things turn out to be very different sometimes and I like that dynamism of
chainmail a lot!
On the other hand, I do not work with tutorials and always figure out
things by myself so sometimes a pendant like this can take 5 hours to finish,
in order to make the ring sizes match correctly without getting too tight or
loose.
I have a little, magical, very sweet inspiration as well.. You see a small part of her below but I will share more pictures in the upcoming posts :)
No, unfortunately I do not work for NASA, yet.. :) And maybe chainmail is way too heavy for them..

NATURAL STONES IN CHAINMAIL ARMOR
Pin It
I usually collect a few souvenirs from the places I have been to, but I prefer mostly the natural ones. Sometimes a small bottle of sand, sometimes leaves, shells and mostly natural stones. Instead of keeping such things in boxes, I like to see them. Glass jars, small bottles, decorative small plates are ideal for such displays. And I have one more idea to keep them even closer.
So here is a natural stone found from the seaside and surrounded by a chainmail armor (I polished this one but it can also be left unpolished):

Pin It
Going on with the bugs.. I specially like this picture of my work space with all the colors and background. It has a very positive effect on me.
Cross-Stitch Bug: Pyrrhocoris
Pin It
By this time 1.5 billions of insect species were discovered and scientists suppose that there are at least 15 billions more of them waiting to be discovered.
This means I have a lot more to do.. :)
Here is a Pyrrhocoris:

As you know by now I am very fond of making cross-stitch works with rather rare designs. This one seems to be one of my favorites with a big bug pattern. But for now it is an unfinished work in progress:

I have been dealing with my translation works and readings lately so I wasn't able to do much handworks. Here are some examples of the few ones I made: Ballerinas made of colored wire.

Knitting Season Has Started!
Pin It
One of the most comforting hobbies in my life is knitting, especially in winter time. I really forget all the other things and clean my mind or if I need to think about a project, idea or just some "thing", it is also a good way to concentrate. After a couple of hours, you will not believe how much you've progressed.
Nowadays it is not yet the real winter but I decided to start my favorite season with knitting :) Here is a blue hemstitch cardigan that I knitted:
