in life it may seem dark, but the absence of the light is a necessary part

hello there,
as you may realize I was not here for like a week, but seriously, everyday I'm back home at 7, i do my homework, eat something, hang out with my family, relax and it's already 11pm..... I'm sorry, but I'm pretty proud of myself that I'm able to write this post right now.
starting with the news, yesterday (i can't believe it was yesterday....) there was a gangnam style flash mob on długa street in Gdańsk, if course I was there, unfortunately not dancing, I was too busy to come to the trainings, because pf the drawing classes I'm having... well, the flash mob, for me, was quite a failure, just some disorganization shit. first of all,  for me a flash mob should be something unexpected, there should be a random crowd just walking on the street and then the music starts playing, some of those "random" people start do dance out of nowhere and surprised people start to make a circle around them to see whats going on. you won't be able to see it on a video, but here everybody knew what was the deal, so before everything started, the1billion people audience created  circle around an empty space to let the dancers do their thing there and we waited there for an hour to see their performance, which everybody knew about. why? they announced it on facebook, who the heeelll has done that, just the stupidest thing ever, the dance wasn't even worth the waiting. I was on the back, because the crowd on the front was sooo tight (it was impossible to see anything having 160 cm height) and people dancing there didn't even knew the routine. yeaaa I know I'm being a bitch here, I'm sure it was hard to collect so many people, but it just shouldn't be called a flash mob, that's all. here, see it for yourself:

 

changing the subject, I signed in for a thing called Postcrossing.com, it's a project, which involves sending a postcard to a random person all around the world and when this person gets it, you recieve one from a different random person, it's really fun. I've been searching for something like that for ages and finally found it, you can send maximum 5 cards at once,so of course I'm sending 5 cards to my randomly selected people, I'm trying to do it since last week, but it;s just so much I want to put on a postcard.... it's just suuper fun, here are my cards, I hope to pick some to send, but I keep tangling in my thoughts....

and there's one I made by myself:

I know it's not fenomenal, but I was trying to get this handmade effect. and it has an embossed effect to it, it's a technique in stamping I'm still trying to get:

is that even seeable? the whole thing is covered in transparent smooth music notes. not my best side.
also, I was thinking of creating a postcard using old leafs, I picked some today on my walk, they are absolutely beautiful, I can see the winter coming. maybe put some shells... btw i was on a beach today, like the first time since like 2 years ago and I live a couple of bus stops from the sea :D
and speaking of scrapbooking, I'm currently out of paper, but I try to keep on track, I made 2 bookmarks yesterday for my sis:



she was really pleased :)

today I ordered some studs online and I hope to get them on the beginning of this week. they are quite unusual, I bought some anchors, hearts and round flat ones. I'll for sure post a photo when they arrive.

continuing on the crafts, I just got a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge pack of old (that's just hilarious, they are barely worn) clothes from my sister's friend and I have sooo much clothes to find a way to wear, sew something off, on, just think about them. also, I found a cool way of remaking huge tshirts into a cool "oversized" ones, I'm gonna present it to you in the next post. btw my dress is hanging on my manequine almost finished, I just can't end this torture!

at the end I have an artistic photo of Gdansk:


when I took it I couldn't see it on my camera, but I told my friend sth like "this is going to me a marvelous photo" and it is :D

so that's it for today, I have to do stuff for tomorrow, I can't believe the weekend is over....
byeeeeeee

we are shining

hello
today is kind of odd, I woke up thanking god I ended the most awful nightmare I had in like centuries. in the morning the weather was so sunny, I was like "today i'm gonna do so many things, such a great day", I did all of my house duties and the weather turned so sleepy and miserable.... this week was so intense I had absolutely no time to write anything here, or to even make some crafty stuff to share with you, so today I'm just ending up writing a little update, I think tomorrow I'm gonna add some photos, but today i'm just so lazy... I can't figure out what the universe planned for me today, you know how it always comes all together, like someone can't meat you, someone can, there's something you need to do before something etc, it all just tells you who you have to meat, what you have to do, now it's like no one can meat me, they are all busy with life, and I'm left home not having the energy to do anything on my own... I guess I'm left with doing my homework and finishing some of the projects (the dress, motivation boards, just all the grand projects out there). btw, I'm making my cat a bee halloween costume :] I think this is so cute, I can't wait for it to be finished.
Oh, it just started to rain. fuckin great.


so expect some photos of stuff I found in secondhand shop lately, maybe some crafts, the time will tell :)

when the top of the world falls on you

ohhhh god, what a nice atmosphered evening :)
hello to everyone, today I was trying to figure out a way to get my store working as I would like it to, visited bizilions sites, at least I have a basic idea of how would it all look like.

today I'm bringing you my yesterday's treat - hot chocolate with marshmallows:

 gooosh it was soooo goood... and it was actually the first time I made hot chocolate by myself and didn't screw it up :) I feel like this is becoming my classic fall-winter thing, that just makes the evening nicer. my cat was just so crazy about the marshmallows I had to hide them in a cute wintery can, they look adorable. sometimes i wonder how would I survive without tea.... it's just the best little thing ever!

here's a bracelet I made like a thousand years ago:



it's too basic to exist, but if you do like an arm party, it works amazingly .
in my previous post I showed you some ribbon earrings I made, I really liked the idea of it, so I made another 3 pairs, all made out of the ribbons I got for my birthday:




it's an artistic (autistic) photo and a little preview of how I want my products on my store site to present.

a little zoom in

after buying ELLE magazine yesterday I decided to pull it all together and just orginize all of them to keep them in one place, I realized how many of them I have, seriously I can't remember buying a half of them! also, i cleaned my room, because I just psychically couldn't stand the mess, now I burned some candles here and it is like super cozy, I can feel winter already :]


you can see a vogue I got a year ago (???) on my birthday :)
and here you have just an old song, too cool to get too old:


love all of you,
byeeeee

you have a magical handshake for saving the earth

hi
I'm just chillin, drinking hot chocolate with tiny marshmallows, you know, the usual stuff :D
so I guess it's time to share with you come of my art work, haven't done that for a while. let's start with the dreamcatchers I promised you like a thousands years ago:


 I know it's not focused, just happened ....

and the one I made for my father, he really enjoyed it:




I told you about the ribbons I got from my friend's mom and I made thid pair of earrings, it's funny how cheap and stockable looking jewelry you can make by yourself


oh and there was this gift from my sister, a huge jar full of candy, I ate it all and turned the jar into a candle jar.


well, that's it for todays minute of freedom and passion

my cat just ate a tiny marshmallow

byyeee :)

we need the darkness to see the light

hello everyone!
yesterday was my birthday, it was very awesome, I got the most amazing gifts ever! the funny part is that the most of the presents came from my friends, which was so unexpected, of course I knew they are going to give me sth, but just a little symbolic thing. So I got tiny marshmallows, which are just adorable, when it's evening I'll make a coco and put a couple in there, just like ooooh noo this is soooo casual for me, expect a photo soon! Next thing is a gorgeous vintage old telephone necklace, it has gold detailing and gold chain. A year ago I got the most beautiful necklace from my mom and unfortunately I lost it at school, it was just terrible, when we were at the mall I saw the exact same on in Accesorize and I told my friends about the loss, they bought me another one :))) that was just sooo sweet, I just love the necklace, I'm wearing it right now :D Also, some of my friends have done what the like to call it a 'memory card' and it's basically a poster containing hand-drown funny scenes from my life, which happened in the past, i thought that was soo cool :) my friends mom is a tailor and she has the access to a warehouse that sells sewing stuff, I got tome beautiful ribbons from there :) my sis made a candy jar for me and she gave me some vintage nail polishes... such a great birthday thanks to everyone! <3 p="p">
well, as you may know, the school year has started and now I can see the benefits of waking up at 6 am .... here's my window view at around 6.30.... the photos don't quite give the sunrise effect, that was so evident....


 and here's a bird


 also I haven't past anything here so long, i have a breakfast of mine from like a week ago :D

the fortune cookie  ^^



heeelll yeaaa

yesterday we had a huge storm and the rain was falling like crazy, I just love the lights on rain, there's something about it


 what you can see on the left it's a wall covered in rain drops reflecting the lights of the streetlights



looks like a shower haha

lately I was thinking of seriously opening something like a handmade stuff store here, on my blog, in one of the tabs above, I think it would be a nice way of up supporting me as an artist, I have to think about it and organize the stuff, make some, just some preparation work.

so I'm off

don't wanna be seen

Hello, just a quick update here, I knoow I haven't shared with you my stuff for like a thousand of years, but the school started and it's been SUCH a hard week, really I was tired to death everyday at like 10 pm, so yeah, it was pretty intense and stuff... Now I just have a minute to write it, although toady I have signed myself to an art class, dropped in Cool Babes to pick up some cupcakes for my friend, then went to a meeting with my clique, had a laugh and came back home. I'm still tired as fuck, but at least I don't have to be up at 7 am tomorrow...
Now I'm just trying to find a movie that would be appropriate for a (99% sure) meeting in my house, my father is working this weekend and my mother just took a trip to my grandma, so I'm home alone with my sis and I really hope this meeting is gonna work out :)
I finished 3 of my motivation boards, the weekend is just around the corner so I'm probably gonna take care of that, of course I have to read some art books as fast as I can, everything is going sooo faaast.... I started organizing stuff for Christmas, it might sound insane, but when it's Summer, you find all of those amazing Christmas stuff ideas and you're like "that's nice, I'm gonna do it when it's Christmas" and then you never do it... well, this year I decided to make a list of stuff to do waaayy sooner, not to forget anything. I love Christmas, the atmosphere is just delightful, I love everything at night and in winter night comes so fast, it's just wonderful! all of the lights are just a reminder of the beauty of contrast. Btw I had my xmas tree lights replaced in my room, now they are at the wall with the motivation boards and they are looking sooo cool, I would totally put a photo, but my motivation boards aren'y done yet, so I just want to give you the full impression.
What elseee? I'm thinking of selling stuff here, on my blog. you know how you're an artist and you have to ask your mom to get all of those art stuff? it's really not cool, I thought if some of you would buy my pieces, it would be a great way to support me :) I don't really expect that much people to buy things, I just have to find a way to make my art workable is you know what I mean. I probably will be selling cards, dream catchers, all kinds of jewelry, maybe some fabric stuff like clothes or bags, I'm not quite sure yet.
And I would have to really think of how I'm going to put it on my blog.... I have to find a blog layout to kind of get those things together. maybe this Sunday I will have some extra time...



Ok, hope this gave you a thought I'm not laying around and being to lazy to put sth here, it's just I'm sooo tireeed....
Ok, I'm going to bed.
