Inspiration received! :)

Today a real New Year's miracle happened. I received two wonderful books from Katri, who is a talented artist and a great friend. She decided to be my winter fairy this year and sent me something so great and inspirational.

Both books are autographed, which makes them even more special.

I've been admiring the work of Anna and Tatiana for years and now they have shared their knowledge and great sense of style with all of us.

Thank you, Katri, for this wonderful gift! I'm so happy and excited! My inspiration is slowly coming back to me...

Inspired by...

Do you remember the swap I recently participated in? If no, then let me remind you that I swapped a pair of bright bead embroidered earrings for a beautiful felted brooch by Dagmara Buczek.

I enjoy this brooch very much and wear it almost every day. And this beautiful color combo just doesn't leave my mind, so I made a pair of earrings with similar design of the ones I swapped, but in the color scheme of the brooch that I received. Sounds complicated. :)) But take a look, this is the result.

And, of course, I named them after the beautiful lady, whose creation inspired me. You can see more pictures of Dagmara Earrings and read the description here.

If you haven't tried doing swaps yet, you definitely should! They are fun and very inspirational!

Happy swapping! ;)
