2012 Wall Calendar. My new creation.

2011-09-15T12:23:00.004+02:00

It is only September, but I already start to think about Christmas and New Year gifts.

One of the best gifts as I think, is a good quality wall calendar.

I created 3 dimention calendar. When you open new month, you se a little bit another picture.

In the middle of year you see two cats, which you didn't see in the beginning. And on December page there are only a hill with trees and the sun.

The date and names of monthes I write in calligraphy with stylus and ink.

Please enjoy the pictures:

Thank you so much for visiting!

Autumn Wedding Collection

2011-09-03T22:10:00.000+02:00

Hello!
Here is our new collection of Invitations and Stationery for Autumn Weddings and other events.
I love these leaves. They look so delicate, so romantic!
The first invitation is very difficult to make. The beautiful leaf locks the invitation and when your guests open it, they see 3D names of bride and groom and 3D branch. They are made in pop-up card style. And the invitation text is written with ink in elegant font.

The second invitation is more simple, but it looks very elegant, too.

You open it like the greeting card and the text is written inside.

I would like to say, that both these invitations have RSVP cards with 3D leaf.

The next you can see the place cards with leaves and branches.

One of them is pop-up cards with 3D guest name:

And the other is suitable for the second cut out invitation:

Then Table Numbers... I love this one. It looks filigree with these branches:

And the last in this collection is Program card. But it is possible to use this design for Menu cards or other Escort cards:

Ocean Theme in my Wedding Line

2011-04-28T01:40:00.001+02:00

I know that many-many people love dolphins!
And may be they would like to see them like the symbol of their wonderful event.
I create the Ocean Theme in my wedding line and I will add another items in it.
For example invitations and table numbers. What other do you need? I am free to make any custom order :)

Wedding Invitations in Envelope with a Secret

2011-03-31T14:10:00.000+02:00

These invitations are unique!
This envelope has a secret - when the recipients will open it, they will see a wonderful flying butterfly or dove in it. It is very cute set!
I am happy to be a part of your beautiful event! That is why I make all my cards with love, patience and a little pleasant surprise.

I continue the Wedding Decoration line - Table Numbers

2011-03-15T05:04:00.001+01:00

In my last blog post you could find the place cards for the guests of your event.
And now... if the event will have many-many guests and many tables, let me show you some kinds of table numbers. They are not obscessive and looks really like smooth decor but not like simply the number of table :)
Let butterflies and birds fly everywhere they want!

I start the Wedding Decoration line

2011-03-15T04:29:00.005+01:00

Some days ago, when I made the butterflies for one wedding, I understood that I like it - to be a part of event and took a decision to create the wedding decor collection.
For the first - the place cards with names of guests. They all have different shapes - some of us do like butterflies, some do like flowers or birds. You can choose what You like. May be You are want absolutely diferent shapes? I am allways glad for custom orders and new designs!

Sunny Wishes to your friends

2011-03-05T09:41:00.000+01:00

The Easter is coming! And many-many other sunny holidays!

It is great when you can say to your friend warm tender words in the holiday and it is so lovely when you can write them on the piece of paper and leave them forever in the heart.

I love calligraphy and write my wishes with stylus and ink. And I try to put the text in any interesting form (like the egg form on these photos). It is the very delicate gift, it is full of love.

Happy spring days!

How can I make my Papercut when I don`t have a good new paper. Tutorial

2011-02-26T23:04:00.000+01:00

http://www.etsy.com/listing/68581694/vintage-shoe-with-fairy-flowers-original

So, I promised to make one picture in one day, but I have no new paper for this today. What can I do?
Hmmm, I see an old (about 70 years old) Calligraphy album on the shelf - there is one clear sheet in it.

I draw a small sketch of an old shoe and then I will repeat it in a larger size on my old sheet.

I start to cut - it is very hard to make such a delicate cuts in the old thin piece of paper.

Now I take patterns for inspiration. They are from a very old soviet magazine.

And start to cut these patterns:

The edges of the sheet are ugly enough and I deside to burn them:

Then I open that old calligraphy album on the page with the sample of writing and write one english saying with ink and stylus. It is so hard - to write on this paper. And as a result - my writing looks like this sheet was falling into the water.

And the end is...

Me and my work place. Alphabet

2011-02-25T00:27:00.000+01:00

Wonder Castle and its history

2011-02-20T09:07:00.000+01:00

This castle what I sell in my Etsy shop is the idea of my favorite teacher and friend Modris Tenisons.

He kindly showed me how to make this a truly difficult work and allowed to submit it to the world.

What does Wikipedia write about this wonderful person:

"Modris Tenisons (born March 19, 1945 in Riga, Latvia) is a mime artist in Lithuania and Latvia. He is especially well-known in Lithuania. He is also a multidisciplinary artist: a theater director, stage designer and theater consultant."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modris_Tenisons#The_language_of_ornamental_signs

Some years ago I participated in one of his projects and it was amazing time - amazing four months.

Here you can see the interesting abstract film of this project:
