Are you baking something sweet for the Holidays? I'm debating between gingerbread cookies and simple crunchy sugar cookies. Share your ideas with me! I want to make some as gifts. 🎄✨
Facebook just reminded me of this afternoon with my boy @filipas_kameu . It was 2015!! I thought I'd share because the forest looks magical. Can't wait to visit my parents on Holidays and walk around the forest for hours. Living on the routine home-studio-home, has quite the negative impact on my mental state, craving for some nature very badly right now! 🌲
I don't know why but I always associate foxes with winter. Maybe because of the stark contrast between orange fur and bright background of white snow. If you want to try your hand in creating plush foxes, you can order ready-made faces from my Etsy shop. They most likely will arrive after all the holiday madness and cheer you up on long winter evenings. 🦊
The view of my table. It's quite refreshing to work on these swimmers in between all the Christmas angels. 😌✨
Collaboration between creatives can really save you sometimes! Take me for example, in early autumn, lovely jewellery creator @dzydzydesign contacted me about Christmas themed photoshoot. I've sent her some dolls and got beautiful pictures like the one you're seeing right now! And today, when I'm swamped with last-minute Christmas orders, I have something beautiful to share with you guys. The all-day lasting December gloominess doesn't help with photography as well. Even if I want to capture something I need to set up lights, use a tripod and dabble between the settings. Which is not ideal in busy times. So on the days like this, I feel really thankful for collaborations. 🥰 Tell me about your favourite collabs between artists! And if you want to collaborate with me, don't hesitate to contact me. ☺️✨
Usually, I don't use dark colours for my plush dolls. Somehow I always thought that pastel or bright colours suit their characters better. But I got this custom order and was pleasantly surprised with the result! The dreamy doll stuffed with dried lavenders actually looks good in dark grey. Gotta love clients who make you look at your work from a different angle. 🙌
Two weeks ago I had a pleasure to visit Milan. It was my first time in Italy and I absolutely loved it! It was a much-needed break between frenzied doll making, preparations for Christmas fair and fulfilling orders. I love travelling with my boy @filipas_kameu because we always on the same page and divide our time between sightseeing and eating pretty much evenly, haha. And I think we all know that Italy has some great food to offer! 👌 Also, we happened to see @banksy exhibition, take the train to Lake Como, dance to one of my favourite bands Bauhaus and eat lots of pizza and pasta. All of this in just 4 days! Can't recommend this enough. 😌 P.S. this is a metro stop, Porta Venezia, in Milan and it got me into researching LGBTQ situation in Milan. Turns out it's extremely welcoming and embraces diversity. Which is a breath of fresh air coming from a very homophobic country like Lithuania. We’re seeing positive changes between young people but it's definitely not happening quickly enough. 🌈
When decorating for Christmas I like to go the more natural way. 🎄 Adding a lot of greenery, a few fairy-lights and some whimsical elements. Cute snowman and delicious Christmas themed earrings by @dzydzydesign are the perfect match in my winter wonderland. ✨ By the way, there are two snowmen left on sale, hurry to my Etsy shop to get yours! 👏
So the Christmas fair that I’ve attended over the weekend is over and I can get back to working on new orders. It was the first real Christmas fair for me and I have mixed feelings about it, haha. It was really tough to sit in a cramped space 12 hours a day and talk, smile, explain my creations for people non-stop. On the other hand, seeing people reactions and how my elves and angels made everyone smile was the best feeling ever. I think I still prefer my quiet and cozy studio, less talking and more creating. Nonetheless, it was an interesting experience. Do you have any stories from the fairs and markets you've attended? 🤔
I'm in a full holiday mood already! 🎄 The dolls for the Christmas fair are done, orders complete (for now), just bought a few festive decorations for my display booth and it even snowed today. How are you spending the last days of autumn? ✨😌 Earrings: @dzydzydesign Garland: @madebyugne
