Layla

Continuing my naive line here is another picture, called "Layla" - no connection to EC song.

It was born from my friends illustration:

About a year ago, I've discovered an art naïve gallery not far from where I live. Since then, it's been my frequent "safe haven", supplying me with an emotional refill. I found naïve art at it's best very inspiring and providing the simple and much-needed feeling of happiness that is kept mostly in a bright childhood memories.
Since I'm no good at drawing, I try to apply the naive mood to my felt crafts. This one is called "Sheep on a hill".

Colours of Italy

At the end of October we've spent an amazing week in Italy at a charming Villa Inncasa near a small town of Orvieto in Umbria. The timing was rather risky but we were lucky to get all the sunshine and no rain at all. The light and the colours and the air at this time of fall in Italy are fabulous! As I keep recalling these splendid colours, I've made my "autumn dreaming birds mobile".

There was a small kitchenette at our studio, so occasionally we had some pasta and local wine for lunch.

Eggplant, tomato, carrot, potato, chilli, bell pepper, radish, mushroom and cute yellow market bag to put them in. All vegs are pretty much life-sized. My baby is crazy about them.

First post

So, I've opened my own blog. Well, I really don't know what to say. I just feel that I have to say something - it's a blog, no?
So, I will tell you why Shoosha. Shoosha was the name we used to call our little daughter when she was inside me. I don't remember how it came... I think it probably came from Izaac Zinger's eponymous novel. When she was born we gave her real name - Maya, but Shoosha still means a lot for me. It reminds me my first emotions, when I knew that I'm pregnant. My first thoughts about my baby, how she will look like, what she will love ...
I always had passion for crafting. Sinse I've been 6 or 7 years old I sewed little dresses for my dolls and took every craft class that I could find. But it's never been serious. When Maya came to the world, I wanted to give her the best I could (how expected!). So, I started to think about toys and dolls and everything surrounding her. Sadly, what I've found in stores was pretty awful. A lot of plastic, unnatural colors and forms. I desided to create few things for her by myself. And from here it was like a snowball - I created more, people loved my crafts, they ordered things, and I've been making more and more. It's strange, but as I have more orders and I have to work harder, I love it even more.

Here is my world. World that I've started to create for my baby, my Shoosha. Here I will share with you my new works and ideas.

So, have some fun.
