Girls In Earthia Hoodies!

 It's so nice to see people enjoying your creations...;)
Here're a couple pictures from the party (which was on the roof for the most part, and was a blast, i must tell you!) I was selling Earthia wear. I am also happy to mention, that there probably is a collaboration, which is currently in the works, with ENKI store, that is located in Philadelphia. This is in the works with the lovely owners of this wonderful store, full of artful clothing, accessories, jewelry and art, Chai and Allysa. It would be a great opportunity for those in Philly to get Earthia wear - armwarmers, handwarmers, wrap skirts and mini skirts, hoodie sweaters and vests, and elvian hoods!

Gray For A Play
Voluptuous goddess, this one is for you! Softest wools in all sorts and shades of gray, long sleeves, looooong pixie hood, this is something really special. Warm and cozy - it was created at a very special place, actually, called Dragon's Egg - i believe it has a particularly magical energy woven in... ;)
L-XL, perhaps busty tall M


Meet Me In The Forest
Softest white wool blend, beige and heather beige wool, raffled armholes... long pixie hood - a staple for an Elf, if you ask me ;)
ML-XL lady, you will get admiring glares! ;)))


I Would Tango To Sunset
Thicker soft red wool adorned with stripes of wools and wool blends for an omph factor! Art-deco-ish sleeves, like butterfly... almost kimono-like... Longest pixie hood! ;)
ML-L-XL


My Heart Is Red
Gorgeous shades of red with just enough of metallic sparkle here and there, in various knits - buttery cashmere, wool blend, cotton blend..
Very snug and tight, creates a beautiful aura around as soon as you put it on.. THEN you put the hood on and.... the whole world looks different ;)))
XS-S


Psy Butterfly
This sweater is different - it is an experiment, - something new i'm designing.. ;) Very short and wrap-around, with kimono cut sort sleeves....wide long ties, pixie hood, stripes... gorgeous soft wool... for a goddess well endowed in the bust area! ;) will give a beautifully defined cleavage..
moss yellowish green (one of my favorite colors) and black - perfect combo, always...
ML-L-XL


Be My Robin, I Will Be Your Hood
Subtle foresty colors, i love how green, brown, taupe blend together. My favorite here is the neck opening, and small side slits! Experiment, - first men's sweater... lambs wool, merino wool.. pixie hood! ;)
Colors are more bright in person.. ;)))
This is size Large, but i think, due to the ragged style of this piece it can be worn by a someone size Medium as well ;)

Tribal Market III - Pictures

Here are few pictures from the Pulp event, where we held the Tribal Market III - a sagnificent event for me in all the ways, considering that all of the elvish sweater hoodies were sold out AND were worn immediately by beautiful fairies dancing their way through the night... soooo lovely! ;) Thank you! And if anyone of you, dear buyers of my sweaters, have pictures of beautiful you in my creations, please, do send them to me, I'll be happy to post them here, on Eathia blog to everyone's enjoyment! ;) 
Next Tribal Market is happening in Brooklyn, in about a week from now - on April 30 ;) 
More details coming soon!

"Ben! I have one word for you: PLASTIC!"

I not always have a grocery bag with me. In such a case I ask a cashier to fit everything in as few bags as possible (it's always no more than two) and to not double bag it. I get all kinds of puzzled looks (human nature is incredibly vast in it's beauty of expression), lost looks, and even comments like "she's crazy". Sometimes, a kind clueless soul warns me, that my shopping bags are going to be to heavy, if not doubled. And then I say: "You know what's heavy? The build up of plastic on the Earth." A response, as a rule, is the look, that's even more lost. There are places, like Whole Foods, where not only customers, but all the staff is aware more or less, but not in the area of Brooklyn, where I live... I keep hoping that one day I'll see understanding and approving smile from a sales person. This is why, I collected as many bags as I did, with the help of my food-shopping loving family, and made my first shopping bags, which I'm intending to take every time I go grocery shopping. 
It is so darn easy and rewarding to make a bag like this, that I am to share a pictorial process, in hopes that it can be handy for some, if not all :)

Fold a bag lengthwise, cut off the bottom and the handles (those parts can go to recycle bin for plastic at your local supermarket).


Cut the folded bag across into several pieces, approximately 1 inch wide.


Unfolded, each piece will have a circular seamless shape.


Here's a seemingly tricky (but it's not) part. Take two "rings" of plastic that you unfolded, and interlace them, like shown in the picture. You sort of wrap one circle around another, making a loop, through which you pull out the whole thing eventually. 


Here it's more visible.




Dozens of bags are made into yards and yards of plastic yarn, which is then rolled into a ball.


I hope you can crochet. If you can't, you're missing out on a rather pleasurable pastime making many beautiful things for yourself and your friends and family. 
Here's my grocery bag. I like how there is a blue and red stripe going around - it happened totally by accident, a nice little gift from my own effort ;) 

p.s. oh, and the rug is the one I made out of old t-shirts, i blogged about it earlier ;) It feels soooo nice to step on it in the morning, a sudden splash of color... boom! makes me happy!
