Crochet for Vanya Earthia

Hello ;)

Summer is in full power, yet we can't help but have glimpses of thoughts about winter. 

Perhaps, some have traveling plans for the upcoming cold season, or moving plans, or creativity, entertainment or other plans.. 

And I have been thinking of fall and winter accessories, among others ;))

The Ultimate Yoga Mat

I have been on the lookout for a perfect yoga mat for a few years now. And, finally, there is something wonderful, thin enough to fold into a square, perfect brown color - earthy, and not distracting, lightweight, great grip, - perfect yoga mat, that i can always bring with me, for whenever a desire to stretch strikes ;) So awesome! The mat is 1.8 mm thick, its called Go Anywhere Yoga Mat by Banyan & Bo by Gaiam.

Happy Weekend, everyone! ;)

I learned about some of the camera settings, Aperture, to be exact - playing with it, discovering new options for taking pictures, dreaming of my own photo camera ;)

Wearing Earthia Belted Sweater Cardigan made of upcycled wool turtleneck, visible turquoise stitching , added pom-pom and large beads hanging dangling ties, to spruce the whole look and make it more elaborate and folk. 

Also, wearing a screen printed softest thinnest cotton dress by Severyn, with his original art printed in the center - maroon and shades of turquoise! 

Cotton Indian skirt - San Francisco vintage store find - can't take it off.

Large crystal heart pendant on a braided simple undyed yarn cord.

 Velvet ribbon from a trimming store, rolled into a thin headband - those shorter dreadlocks get in the way sometimes! ;) 

Still sporting the neon pink nails - I think I might stick with this color all through the winter to give that needed color splash for an eye-candy. Color is 24/7, by the way.

Loving color blue! Interestingly, BLUE is responsible for creativity, so, if you are loving this color especially, most likely you like to create, or would like to create something, but don't yet for some reason. Wishing everyone eager to become arty-crafty in any way to explore that medium of self expression - be it appreciating art, or making it. I am in love with many shades of blue, and never get tired of it - it is the color of fifth chakra, and represents artistic nature. 

Burning white sage in the morning sets everything into right mood, grounded, yet light and comforting.

Green tea with mango from this favorite colorful cup ;)

My father gave me this delicious book - there are hundreds of beautiful textiles, made by crafters, gathered together into a nice visual piece as this publication is. 

I love knits so much! This is one of the reasons I mainly make clothing out of woolens and jerseys - so easy to wear and get cozy in them! I love the texture, natural fibers and color ways - cannot pass by a rack of Earthia merchandise sitting in my room without taking a picture or two! 

Crystal heart pendant - I love crystals, even if it's artificial glass aurora borealis shining thing. It is pretty in the regular light, but in the sun it catches the sun rays and gives off such incredibly beautiful sparkle, in blue!

Why Pirate

Tara Lotus has inspired me to piratize my jacket.

Here's how I did it, it's very easy:

take a pair of scissors and cut thin stripes off along the edges - wherever you wish. I did it along most of the jacket's edges haha ;) 

I made little cuts at the elbow level, then tore apart more with my hands to make bigger holes - don't go too hard here, or you'll have to sew it back together!

I did the same thing along the shoulders, towards the back.. you can do it in any part of your denim project ;) 

Now you can wash it in the washer to fray the edges. 

Add patches, beads, lace - anything you have handy and love. 

Love worn tattered look!

♥

Rip here, rip there - no end to perfect tear and tatter!

My friend Levka gave me a pair of jeans he had worn to, according to him "shreds", I used the good parts of this quality pile of denim, perfectly worn. The heart-shaped pocket has been added by me to the right side  - very handy! It fits tiny things like coins - love that ;)

A couple more pictures of how the scarf looks worn - here I put it on making only one loop around the neck, but it can be wrapped in as many as 4! ;) 

Absolutely looove tattered soft look of it, AND the colors~ 

Weaving Sunday ;)

The weather is awesome, summer is booming, and I'm catching every moment of it with gratitude.. 

Today is the middle of calendar summer... ;)))

Since Games of Thrones has ended for the time being, I decided it's nice to see another costume/era series, and now I'm watching Boardwalk Empire ;) 

 Wove my growing dreadies into this up-do ;) 

If you have dreadlocks, it's a very easy and beautiful way to lift your hair up off the neck - you start at any side (it is right side for me), and, lifting the locks up start folding and wrapping them inside, creating a rolled tube, which will continue, as you don't stop, but keep including all the dreads, going around your head, until you reached the opposite side of your head. There, collect and twist together all the remaining locks and fold them up and inside the roll - you'll figure it out, as you go. Longer dreadlocks won't need more than a couple of pins, but shorter ones like mine will need some more ;) 

Also, you can pin a large flower or a beautiful broach ;) 

Scarf #1 

Extra long tattered rugged braid scarf made of recycled knits (wool, cashmere) turquoise, pink, blue, lavender, beige, gray, white by Earthia

At the ends, I tied a piece of lace around one, and a strip of recycled upcycled shearling inside out on the other end; to keep the braid together. 

Scarf #2

Extra-extra long tattered rugged braid scarf made of recycled knits (wool, cashmere, wool blend); has two ties on the ends, made of upcycled recycled leather. Dark browns, greys, greens, pinks, blues, turquoise and other pretty colors, by Earthia

At the ends I used stripes of recycled upcycled leather to hold together braid's ends.  

 Much more multi-colored than the first scarf, and almost twice as long - 10.5 feet of ruggedness ;)))

I love how the braid starts off with dark browns, turquoise and dark grey and gradually becomes a blend of very light colors, mostly - beiges, grays, and nudish colors..;)

Bell Bottoms Preview, listing them tomorrow! ;)

Good news! The customized bell bottom denim i wrote about earlier this week is going to be listed in the Earthia shop tomorrow - yay! 

The sizing is small, as i mentioned - one pair is even size 24 - i barely could fit into those for the picture! ;)) (it's the pair that was made with original Seven For All Mankind jeans), someone tiny would look gorgeously hippy in them ;) 

Pictures of close-up items will be posted in the shop as well, for proper denim twill presentation and detail shots, plus color ;) 

The styling pictures are here, one of each pair! 

I hope, there is enough for all who wants a pair for now, granted the bells are small!

I am thinking about offering customizing options for everyone, through the Etsy shop. But first, I will finish my friend's custom order for his bell bottoms - will see how satisfied he be, and yes, it's actually mostly guys, who have approached me asking to make a pair for them ;) 

  

New items, again! ;)

Whoa, I spent all day hopping around the room, taking pictures, steaming sweaters, ironing jeans, taking more pictures... uploading... Now i have to take all the measurements. 

And this is only 1/3 of all the new items i made!!!  ;) 

A few photos, and off i go, to post on Etsy ;)

On magical creatures

I posted before a photo of myself, wearing this ingenious vest, i call it Unicorn Vest, because I love unicorns, and this is the ultimate patchwork upcycled recycled eco-friendly creation! 

I get so many compliments on it ;) 

It is the most tailored of all what I make, I think.. I have to put all the pieces one by one, creating a shape, that will, then, wrap the body of a wearer in the most complementing manner. I love to wrap both sides, and tighten them a little, and pin with my favorite Moon, Sun and Star brooch. 

Guess what? ;) I've been making some Hooded Unicorn Vests for you too! 

Tomorrow will list a few of them, with pictures and all, so, stay tuned! 

There are the most yummy vests ever ;)
psss... Also, some deliciously rad bell bottoms will be listed tomorrow!
