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! ;)

We Swap!

In the beginning of this month I discovered one more fun place to swap all things handmade. It's We Swap blog created by two fellow etsians Uloni and Juliani. At We Swap you can find plenty of amazing handmade things that are free for exchange.

That's exactly where I found this wonderful brooch created by Polish artist Dagmara Buczek and offered to swap it for something from my Etsy store. I got lucky as she liked my Begonias in May earrings and we decided to go for it.

By some lucky accident (miracles and mysteries of postal services) we both received the packages today. And we both are very happy with the swap!

You can see it from my face. I'm enjoying the new brooch that is gonna cheer me up during these dark autumn days. :))

I hope Daga will also upload some pictures wearing the earrings any time soon. I'll definitely share them with you! ;)

UPDATE! And here it is - picture of Dagmara wearing the earrings.

If you haven't tried swapping yet, I must say that it's really fun and positive experience! I enjoyed it and I'm definitely gonna do it again!

I hope you are enjoying your Friday evening as much as I am! ;)

Mail's Here!

I received my first swap item from Candyapple via Swap workshop. It's a cute trinket dish. It's already on my makeup table filled with my favorite jewelry.

I also received whole bag of polymer clay face cabochons, and I can't wait to start creating with them! :)

Looks like a good start for the day! ;)
