Work-in-progress: Hansel and Gretel's witch puppet

She is by now nearly finished and I promise to find the time and take a picture of her by the end of this week! She is a cloth-doll puppet! She is my lollipop witch from the "Hansel and Gretel" fairytale! I like the fact that this character is sweet and evil at the same time! I hope that I managed to depict this attribute!!! Just don't judge her yet! In these pictures she is just a work-in-progress...

The lady with the black veil

moodboard_for_lace_earrings

Lace is feminine. Lace is retro. Lace looks always elegant on the naked skin, it looks always erotic on a beautiful neck. Here is my first attempt to capture the seductive power of the lace. I will surely continue to experiment with this material! These earrings are approximately 6cm long and 7cm wide.

Feathers

inspiration for handmade_earrings


I looove birds! I think that their refined shape is a wonderful cosmetic element for fashion accessories and  decorative items! Those who know me won't be surprised by the fact that some of my summer earrings are inspired by these adorable creatures!

These earrings are approximately 7cm long.

Merryland heroes


My favorite heroes (originally drawn with pen to be used in the magic theatre lamp) became stamps on these cute blouses. I added some colorful brooches that I made out of zips, ribbons, measuring tapes  and rhinestones.

Mexican Blue

I like recycling my old jewelries to create new ones. Apart from beads and pearls I use fabric and some mini sculptured elements that I make out of polymer clay.     

Sometimes I have a specific theme in mind. Like this time I draw my inspiration from memories of my summer vacation in Mexico.

These are some of my summer earrings inspired by one of my favorite color matches (turquoise- red-purple).  The first pair is approximately 8cm long while the other two are 6cm long.

Lady of the forest

This fairy lady is a merely decorative small-sized puppet made out of polymer clay. She was "born" 10 years ago and, even though she is a bit primitive in comparison to her successors, she is very dear to me since she was my very first marionette doll!

Sail away to the stars

This is another beautiful lamp that I made for a friend. Unfortunately I don't have a photo with the light on! Stars are cut and drawn on semi-transparent paper all around the surface of the lampshade. When you turn the light on the walls turn into a starlit night!

"Once upon a time" lamp

My "Once upon a time" lamp glows softly, like a candlelight, painting the walls with the shadows of our most beloved fairytale heroes...

Magic Theatre Lamp


handmade_lighting, wall_lamp, Mary's_Merryland

The idea for this lamp comes from the Greek traditional shadow play theatre. It used to be quite popular when we were kids and it still brings sweet memories to mind.
