Month of May :)

May was a busy month for educating myself! :)
I recently discovered a Silva Method for myself :) It's a real breakthrough and I am glad I am involved :)
Now I can easily heal my headaches without pills, I can fall asleep without problems, I meditate and I even lost some weight with this meditation system.
It's easy, fun and very educational :) I am still in a process of study. Hopefully soon I will be able to heal other people and I will get extra sensorial abilities.

For all those who is interested:

IT REALLY WORKS! :)

Amazing Feather Earrings

Hello everyone. I am proud to present you my first Feather earrings made for sale in my shop.
They are all made from natural feathers. Some feathers are dyed, but mostly these are mother's nature's natural coloration :) Beautiful isn't it?
I just can't stop wondering how universe could create something so beautiful as Macaw parrots or pheasants. I am not even talking about my favourite bird - Mandarin duck.

If you like these - don't forget to LIKE them and maybe share them so that others can see some happy colours too :) Thanks a lot :)

"Palmera's Dreams"

"Tropical Fussion"

"Night Butterfly"

"The Secret Key" Sketchbook

It is time to present to you my new "The Secret Key" sketchbook.
Everyone including me loved Angel's flight sketchbook so much that I decided to create something in similar tones and shades.
Please let me know what you think and you can purchase this item here:

SUNNY KISS Photography

Let me present you my new artistic shop "Sunny Kiss".

This is my new hobby which I hope will become my additional little business and an inspiration for all of you. Every time I see sunshine in early morning when I take my dog out [usually this is 6:30AM] - I grab my camera and go to local park or field next to the house, to the river or lake. Nature here is all around me so there is always an inspiration and objects to play with. So I capture those elements on a digital camera and I bring them home, then I digitally enhance them, I make them magical and unique. Let's say - I filter them through my soul, through my artistic vision. 

Then I add some lovely phrases inspired by these shots. They come directly from my heart and soul. This is how I feel.

People can order these pictures as large 10x8' prints if they want or smaller. 

But the main idea is to share beauty, love and amazing morning sun kissed atmosphere.

Here are some examples and a link to my shop:

Please let me know what you think. I will appreciate it! :)

Preparation for Craft Fair

Hello my sweet honey bunnies :)

But because I love you - I decided to share with you with few pictures of my process work :)

Who ever haven't subscirbed to my blog yet - you can do it on the right panel and this way you will stay connected and updated .

MY FIRST MAKE UP VIDEO

This is my very first make up video :) It is not a tutorial but just a preview of how I made my make up. I needed to practice on Goldfinch inspired make up and decided to record it :) Cause I think it's fun to look at me when I apply my MASK :D

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that now you will be able to see more of me and my creative process in a special sneak peek program called "Mandarin Ducky's Kitchen".

If one of the days you realise there is no little 1-3 minute video for you on youtube - it means that I am wether ill, or just lazy :) But I will try, I will really try to record tiny little ones every day :)

Neon Jewelry

They say that this spring neon got back into accessory colours as well!
Everyone just got nuts about those bright crazy colours :) Well.. I want to share with you guys a very lovely tutorial made by Chriselle Lim on Youtube.

This is an amazing tutorial on how to update your old jewelry and give it a bit of new life with few nail varnish brush strokes :) Cool idea and nail varnish probably holds on jewelry same well as acrylic paints.

Watch her video here

Good luck with projects and if you will try something - let me know! :) Dying to see what you've done :)

Don't forget to like this video and subscribe to Chriselle's channel if you'll like it :)

I'm sure you will :)

Spent a day shooting people :D

Yeah :) It was my first ever try out in Photography and everyone says I did it well :) I hope so! Here are my pictures for you to judge!
But if I be serious - I really enjoyed this time. I loved jumping like a frog, lying on the wet grass to take pictures from bug's eye view and so on :)
Model was my dear friend Jo Amies and she did really well :) I was experimenting with atmospheric effects, ginger hair, green eyes, and lots of blossom and leaves :)
At the last moment I also remembered about white umbrella I had so I took it with me :) And it made this shoot so surreal :)
