Step aside

Again so much time passed without any post of new jewelry, I know. But you must forgive your La Kukac: she is on holiday and tries to spend as much time outside and with family as possible.

Today I was walking alone with our dogs in the forest and I walked so far only listening to my thoughts that at one point I did not really know where I was exactly. It did not bother me though - I kept on walking. Anyway, sometimes a step in the seemingly wrong direction or a step back can lead us closer to our destination. Just keep an eye on the goal to achieve, on the top you aim at and never mind if you need to step backwards sometimes or to the side in order to get there.

Piles

Do you know what it means to collect and pile up things and stuff in your room, your home, your life? It means you can lose them any day, this way or the other.

Do you know what it means to collect and pile up memories and happy moments in your days, in your years, in your life? It means you will never ever lose them, not even when you finally close your eyes not to open them up again. These memories and happy moments might pass but will live on forever, they will never be gone as they have already happened therefore cannot be taken away any more.

You better lose your stuff to start appreciating what cannot be lost.

Stop piling up and start living, please.

Purple haze

This lovely colourful piece was also made this weekend. It was awfully cold outside so I opted to stay in the warm house and create. Only the photos were taken outside, as you see.

I experimented a bit with the materials, this kind of string is new to me and I have used it for the first time now, I hope this is a stronger one which quality will be needed for this design. The earring itself is very light as all the beads are of wood but I wanted to be sure the string will hold on with the bend too. Also, the lock is a new thing to me, so far I only used other kinds. I will check how this one works. I am sure I can also make many other uses of it other than this.

Anayway, they remind me of someone who I considered my friend and maybe one day I will again. We'll see. Until then, I have the earrings.
