WOULD YOU LIKE A TOUR OF MY STUDIO?

I do not consider myself a writer especially if I write in English… so I will be short. 

I love my studio! I walk in and forget about the whole entire world. I end up in my own world of tranquility and relaxation. I love my studio because it is mobile. I can set it up in 10 minutes anywhere in the house. I am surrounded by friends (hammers, pliers, files, torches…oy!). Let’s take a peek. But first I have to find the right camera to take pictures for you. Which camera should I choose?

 

This one should be good. OK, what do we see here? Tools, tools and more tools…

 

Stethoscope?! I use it to listen to my finished piece’s heart. I believe that each piece should have one.

Oh, wait … here is just what I need. Chocolate is right next to my torches!

Also, in the picture on the right I have a pleasure monitor. I use it to check blood pleasure of the piece wearer to ensure that she enjoys wearing it.

Quiet often I use help of my furry friends. Today Samuel came to play with a strand of beads. 

Thanks for visiting my very small studio where less is more.

March 8 - International Women's Day!

2011 year marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. The day was commemorated for the first time on March 19, 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, following its establishment during the Socialist International meeting the prior year. More than one million women and men attended rallies on that first commemoration.


In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating 8 March as International Women's Day. 

International Women’s Day… That was a Holiday my Motherland offered to all of us, an actual day off. Women would get gifts, flowers, recognition. In fact, during my entering examination to the university I had to write an essay “Role of women in society”. It was timed; we had 4 hours from the time the topic was announced.  I did a pretty darn good job on that essay; of course it was in Russian.

Today I'd like to salute to the Women on Etsy! Hardworking, smart, talented, intelligent, beautiful, friendly, energetic, united… You name it, they fit that definition. 

Here are some examples or their work:
