DIY paper crown

This year I decided I have too much sleep (sarcasm) and with a little help and inspiration from one of my creative friends, I've started a challenge where I make a crown each week of 2021. You can follow my crown journey on Instagram or TikTok   via hashtag #52crowns. This week I decided to make a lil DIY available for any level of skills as this crown only needs paper / card, scissors and glue. Also a printer, but that's might be less challenging than to find some scissors in modern household.  Ok, let's see if I am amble to make a tutorial.

Am I seller or am I artist?

Let's talk about something that no any owner of creative business will ever say out loud: what I do for money and what I do for my own art and creativity? Risky thing to say in front of customers. I know many of other crown and jewelry makers following me and I know we all had a peak into "sales tips" at Etsy or other online portals at least ones in ours lives. The only common advice there for easy selling - do what sells well, do trendy things, do what people are expecting to buy in nearest future. Well, that a good advice. But I still can't follow it! I have a creative monster inside of me who is...

Glencoe. My personal savage heaven on this planet

It is cold and gloomy. It is windy and not much friendly. It will not be so keen on showing its treasures and make sure you are comfortable to enjoy them. But it is absolutely unspeakably beautiful. It is Scotland. There is no any other place in the world that would be same savage and cold, but so attractive you have no  any chance to visit without leaving a part of your heart in its wild glens and majestic mountains. At the middle of the spring I been invited to take a part as supplier and model in international photo boot camp in my very favorite place on this planet - Glencoe. Thanks to my talented friend Olesija, who been helping a lot...

Secret garden

All creative people, who turned their passion into business, probably know that feeling when you want to try to work with something new but that not gonna take off and become another signature product. And you just not go for that because you feeling like you are wasting your time instead of working on something that already known by your fans and followers. You know your skills and your ways and there is always a luck of time for personal projects. Once my husband said to me - don't feel guilty if you want to work on something that is not related to your brand and style, do something new, just for fun. Because there is no growth in any...
