A walk in the forest

One month ago we took A walk on the beach together. Now let's go to the forest - it's springtime so this is just what I will be doing for the next few months for sure whenever I can.

There aren't many things better than nature itself. Let's follow the traces of the forest animals, listen to the song of the birds, follow our dogs to find fresh spring-water, watch out for light to find green clearings and then go back under the trees to find peace and silence.

Getxo

Some places mean more, some places you will always remember. Some places make you sad but teach you a lot, some places show you happiness, some places do all these at the same time.

This is what Getxo was for me, several years ago. Want to know where it is? Not far from Guernica, not far from San Sebastian, but very far from here.

I will go back one day to see the place again where my life took several turns, very slowly, very subtly, almost innoticeably. But it did.

Kenya

Tonight we saw another great movie (hey, I haven't told you about movies for such a long time now!) called Haevnen, directed by Susanne Bier from Denmark. It depicts two different worlds and mentalities collide, in the end of the film producing a winner of these. The African scenes were shot in Kenya.

So in honour of this Oscar-winning movie I call today's necklace the Kenya necklace.

As just another piece of natural jewelry made by me, the main material is wood, mixed with tiger's eye. Can't help it, it is one of my favourite minerals I guess. Ladies, because I know many of us like pink, not only the bigger beads are pink but if you look at it closely you will find some more tiny little pink cubes hiding there like little candies to put a smile on our face and some color in the world.

Beautiful technology

Yes, technology can be beautiful. When it is real technology and not just the imitation of it. When a car is made of metal and not plastic just as an amplifier that is made of metal and not plastic. When it is for moments or hours of providing you every beat and detail of quality music, when you can sit down and each time discover a new sound in your favourite song, when it gives you the freedom to just listen to quality music instead of being only fit for background whatever-is-on-is-OK radio humming.

Good old metal amplifiers are there with you for a lifetime.

And then, when you have the chance and find something even better on Ebay or in a small second-hand hifi corner in yout town, you are free to pass it on to the next generation of quality music lovers.

Old-new me

I had to do it, I was so fed up and bored with my long hair and at the same time I felt like something was wrong. I made this necklace last weekend but now that I show it to you I must call it the "Old-new me necklace" because today is the day when I got back my old-new me. Old, because I already had very short hair in the past. New, because for many years now I have had long hair and I was satisfied with it, until one certain moment came.

Sometimes a feeling comes, I make up my mind and make a change which is not necessarily a change in hairstyle like this time but could be almost any kind of change. It is a matter of just some hours or days. And then I am so happy I did it!

Wanna see it? Come and visit me in Bálint-ház, Budapest, 3 April - next Sunday between 10 am and 4 pm at the small design fair!

Bracelet alliance - Part 3.

Such a long time since I last presented a bracelet here so high time I did it again.

Christmas was long time ago too but as you see, it is not that easy to collect all the bracelet alliance pieces. One "member" was presented here and the other here later on.

The one I show you today was made for the same person who has been proposed when she was wearing my necklace for the first time (story here). The main theme of the wedding will be green, just like it is the main color of the bracelet she got from me.

Note the ring on her finger as well!

Ágnes

Ágnes has her own ideas, she knows what she wants - from me. And when it is done, not many people can you see more happy than her. Remember the cherries earrings? She is the owner.

This time again it was earrings. I had to adjust them a bit as I felt like the original idea would be too heavy for the ear especially on the long strings but she felt OK with my changes. And then as I left my desk and I was coming back, I found a box with "somlói" (a Hungarian dessert) inside with a thank-you-note sticked on top of the box. So nice!

You see, it's small things that matter in life. We should never forget this.
