When I was a little kid I saw aurora borealis...

Just like rainbow, Aurora Borealis touch to anything gives that thing dreamy patina... a layer of magic... you would think elves painted it while you weren't looking, you may even question your belief in unicorns, looking at the multiple-colored see-through layer of fascination. I just ordered some vintage and not beads to braid into hair bands and felted bracelets that are in the works! Color scheme - neutral, tan, light brown, beige.. to let the sparkle stand out, and not to make the piece a flashy clump ;)

Style notes

Change of a season, Summer to Autumn, closet cleaning... what do I wear?! ;) It is never a question, but I want to sing a song to my favorite style, or, rather, a mix of commonly-known styles, that I don't think is necessary to call anything. It is manifestation of free. They call it boho, hippie, ethnic, eclectic, gypsy, bum... It looks and feels comfortable and cozy, it looks messy, but at the same time it is thoroughly, yet effortlessly, thought through by a free, self-realized and confident mind, it is making yourself feeling incredibly insync with nature and our roots somehow, with the sence of appreciation for anything ethnic; and, of course, letting out your inner artist. 

It may look messy and crazy to a typical business suit-clad, button-down shirted, pencil-skirted, high-heeled, logo-patterned, cookie-cutter combed and styled dude or dudette, yet, you would see a sparkle of "i wish i could make this work for me and my lifestyle" in their eyes, when you meet their curious look on a street. It is not the polished "hippie" look you find among the other four in a section of "5 key styles of the season" Vogue. It happens naturally, because it is flowing freedom, because it is self acceptance and love. Of course, it can become a total disaster, but with clear calm mind, no mistakes can be made, because they simply don't exist, when self-expressing! Wool, purposely wrinkled linen, hemp, cotton in earthy shades or printed in gentle flora patterns, often vintage, often upcycled, handmade lovingly, sometimes even shiffon, silk and lace! Mix the unmatchable! Wear the impossible! You know it, you feel it...Be free!!! ;)

Tribal Market (continued)

More yumminess from last weekend's Tribal Market event.

 many more after the jump!

Tribal Market

Now I think the time to post pictures form the Market! Now is the time for the loooongest post yet! ;)

Many friends came, many friends were made, connections in spirit and art, in creation and revelation...

Photos speak for themselves, as the saying goes, but I want to mention, that the beautiful event went beyond my expectation in terms of enthusiasm and abundance of great vibe! 

So, I want to congratulate Masha LunaRa, the organizer of Tribal Market, and, of course, anyone who followed their interest in the event.. Yay! I'm ready for another one, for sure.. not so long to wait, by the way ;)

Lots and lots of pictures below by Max and Alena, thank you guys! It was lovely to have you and your talent! 

My fit model :)

Children are best models, wouldn't you say? Chocolate covered cheek! She has some great energy, this little rascal :) On my niece is visible the faux-ry vest and the cat-hat I make. I felted both today in the regular washer and dryer. What can I say. Lopi yarn felts beautifully to the effect I am looking, shrinks 20% the most in the hot washer/warm dryer, and Lyon Brand's Landscape yarn needs no introduction, it's my favorite yarn ever! Doesn't felt as much from the first wash, but that is exactly what I want from it. Purrrfect hat! ;)
