Guest appearance

Remember this guy?

Well apparently, he is creating a guest designer brooch collection for my shop!

It appears that the designs are going to be spectacular :) Stay tuned!

Meanwhile, here's something new at our ETSY place:

New shop

Now you can find some of the bears on Bearpile. Check them out! :)

Movie favourites

I am an absolute documentary slave and this movie captured me the very second I saw a glimpse of it on TV quite a while ago. I watched it again yesterday and was immersed into an almost surreal world. Werner Herzog's voice is phenomenal and I especially liked the mystycally sounding old russian chants in the soundtrack.

Packing stuff

We're packing our things for Germany! I have no idea how everything will fit into the teeny-tiny hand baggage (around a hundred bears are coming along!)

Sculpting in wool

I keep promising myself that soon I will return to where it all began - making dog sculptures.


Time is quite cruel though and other works keep creeping in like dark shadows and there is less and less time left every day to devote to sculpture.



But I keep promising myself, and what do you know, maybe the right time is really coming up:>
(Meanwhile there is a major update on my Etsy - have you seen it?)

Moody

I just spotted a trailer of Gus van Sant's "Restless" on The Five Senses blog (one of my favourite blogs. It's not ordinary. It's not commercial. It has more feelings in itself than any other.)

I am in absolute mood to watch "Restless". It feels like it. Maybe it's because that it feels like autumn more and more.

Magical homes

Today my father called and said 'My kid, it feels like autumn'... While he is now at the Curonian Lagoon, I went out for a walk in a nearby park and surprisingly, it did feel like the greenery had come over the hilltop and even though it is only late July, in the evening it already feels like curling up under a warm blanket in a comfortable armchair with a Dostoyevsky or Chekhov and a teapot nearby.

By the way, have you seen the stunning works by the French-American artist Suzanne Husky? I am totally charmed by the little forest cells and I really dream of building one for myself someday!
