Chill Pill

If you are in LA area, you have an opportunity to attend this workshop, where you can knit your very own Chill Pill!!! ;)))

Perfect wool

Search for perfect wool can be endless - as my needs change from project to project, as do my expectations of wool. Right now I need naturally colored, un-dyed pure wool that felts nicely, that is soft and wearable against the skin, and affordable in price. That is. And I had to order a try out skein of Lion Brand Collection Pure Wool, which comes only in one color that nature created - "natural". 

So excited to start making my project with it! 

The yarn.

The color of natural fiber as mother nature intended it to be. Even with all my love for bright colors, I confess, that at any given time, anything natural (color in this case) would be my last choice... ;)

Weeklies!

On man's fashion... Layers for comfort, soft draping in simple earthy shades for easy life... These clothes are made for moving! ;)

  

Let the didge decoration begin!

I started decorating my newly gifted didgeridoo. First, I used up-cycled leather for two stripes - at the bottom of the instrument and at the top.  I'm adding a crocheted strap, that is going to be attached to either leather piece, - for carrying my didge around. At the top part I also tied a silk string with Aurora Borealis beads and wooden beads - for some sparkly dangle while in action! Hopefully, next week I'll get some beeswax to make the mouthpiece, which is now missing, - I can't really play without it - the opening is way too large, and the sound is not right. 

Seriously considering getting a wood burning tool - to burn out dotty designs all over... What joy it is to spend some time with this toy! ;) Life!

Adding an amazing video of healing magical sounds of Didgeridoo played by Jeremy Donovan, who is aboriginal artist. See the video to awe and enjoy!
And these guys are unreal!!! Their energy is soooo thick!!! watch them play! One more here ;)
Another amazing artist Adele, from Paris - she plays on the streets - video, she's incredible!!!

Best gifts come when you less expect them

Yesterday I gave thanks, and I received a gift from my dear friends Yasha and Yulya in a form of the most wanted by me musical instrument - didgeridoo!!! How happy I am!!! Now I need to make a mouthpiece out of wax, and add some decoration on it.

Yasha & Yulya. Yasha plays various instruments easily, but the didge was sitting untouched, as he said he never heard anyone getting a sound out of it before me. Thank you, dear people, I love you! It sure is a cherished gift for me.

These are some beautifully decorated didgeridoos, wouldn't you say? :)

Here is what didgeridoo sounds like, so healing!
