Me and Wassupbrothers creatures participated in Christmas
market at ''Modni Season Gallery '' ( Галерея ''Модный Сезон'') in
Moscow Hotel , Ohotni ryad, 2 , 28-29 december 2013. It was quite strange to sell my creatures almost at Red Square in a fancy store-
galery with famous brands around. I feel more comfortable to stay at
home with my soft friends in my pajama and fluffy socks ))) I feel
better when i have enough time to pack the purchase from me, to put all
the little things inside , to write a card, but not just few minutes,
because everyone on the run and dont have time to wait. Anyway it
was interesting experience, and i'm happy to met a wonderful couple
from ''Exclusive textile'' boutique, who was on that market next by my
table. They made my 2 days in that place friendly and full of positive
and productive convos.
I'm not a big fan of making the animals-
chinese symbols of the year, but this time i decided to try . The symbol
of 2014 year is Blue Wooden horse, but finally i made mostly black and
red horses. I was inspired by Swedish Dala Horses, usually
they are red, and i had a great vintage red wool fabric - Woven from
one side and felted from another. I make a bunch of this decorated
horses at night before the Christmas market, and they had a big success.
They was sold almost all at the first day
Interesting thing- those horses that was more traditional in decor,
wasn't sold, and that ones i thought are strange and maybe not perfect
in colors combo, was sold.
At the market i had the
neighbours - sellers-lovely couple , who sell exclusive textile from
India and Europe. The girl expecting a baby, the couple sometimes
argued, as my husband and I when we are nervous, but they were absolutely lovely. I'm glad I met them :)
In the evening they were sitting and holding each other, and I drew
them on a paper cut as two owls in love . After I gave the girl a
picture and said that even though they had quarrels, it still be seen
how much they love each other and they are very wonderful. They liked a picture, and said their looks very alike After they were joking with each other, "Hey, be good, if you dont want to be sketched again '' he he Such a great guys :)
Cornelius the Unicorn had a little fan club
on the latest Christmas market, and one big fan from another shop-
lovely girl Vera. She visited Cornelius many times a day, and Cornelius was happy to see her every time too It is LOVE !
This days i'm addicted to a bright electric yellow color, not big ammount but a little splash. Itcombines well with the sand, grey and green colors . I dont have even one thing around in this color, but i wish to have. At this gloomy weather without the sun this color will bring ray of light . I need it so.....Maybe i will start with earrings?
