The Doll II

Almost ready...Marquise (she has not revealed her name to me yet) got her embroidered red dress yesterday and looks quite satisfied. Vintage red velvet is lavishly embroidered with wool roses and seed beads, there are three layers of ruffled underskirts to give more volume for the dress. All she needs now is a little hairdo and the proper doll stand. I have already next doll in mind, as she needs some company.

Markiis ( kes pole mulle veel oma nime avaldanud ) sai selga kauaoodatud punase sametkleidi. Rohke pärltikandi ja peenvillaste roosidega ehit pealiskleidi all on kihilised rüüzhidega alusseelikud, et siluetile vormi ja kohevust lisada.

The Doll

Though I have made several dolls from textile throughout the years this is the first tryout with air-drying clay. I made the head, legs and arms at November 2008, experimenting with this clay, then forgot them, being busy with other things. This spring I made the body from cream linen, painted her face and she got couple pieces of clothes too..Pictures are about unfinished doll, when I get more time she will be dressed in red velvet!

just beautiful

Vacation

I am taking a break from blogging until 01. August or so. To enjoy the summer outdoors. (photos from personal archive)

Võtan puhkust juuli keskpaigani ja blogimisega pean ka vahet, las kõik tubased tegemised ootavad oma aega. ( fotod: isiklik arhiiv)

Trinka

Two of the latest necklaces I have created- discreet and delicate and made from very fine selected vintage lace/chiffon with embroidered and beaded details. These necklaces could look fabulous on bride, giving a sense of tender romance. I named the small collection after one special lady who inspired me. And the model is "little tiger".
...............................................................................................
Kaks viimast keed mis valmisid. Nõelutud eriti valitud paladest -shifoonist ja pitsitükkidest, pärlitest ja tikandist dekooriga. Tagasihoidlikud, õrnad ja romantilised sobivad nad kandmiseks nii õhtul kui päeval. Inspireeris mind Triin, kelle järele ka keed said nimetatud. Modelliks nagu ikka "tiigrike".

Sense of Spring

Here are more of those hand- stitched necklaces I am so inspired about to create lately- they carry more tender emotions and color hues. I could call them emotions- into- necklaces pieces. If I want to achieve more subtle color hues I have to let go the reasoning mind. And with joyous enough mood the little pieces of textile settle surprisingly comfortably into their rightful place.. I love that I do not know the final result, it is thrilling adventure.

Of course I could not resist to post some music which inspires me.

Veel mõned kevadisemad keed, pehme gamma ja kergemad emotsioonid. Olen täheldanud, et kui on soov saavutada värvikombinatsioonide rafineeritumaid lahendusi tuleb ratsionaalne meel vabaks lasta ja rohkem tunnetele keskenduda, see õnnestub paremini muusikat kuulates ja enda ümber meeleolu luues. Et tulemus pole teada, teeb protsessi iseäranis lummavaks.
