take chance to change something....

i have been thinking a lot about our environment  and been trying to save it as far as i can. everybody can do even with small actions and rearrangements.
how i do it:
 - i am always having some fabric shopper in my bag not to have to take the plastic ones when i go shopping
- 99% i use trams, underground, bike or train instead of a car/airplane
- iam recycling - that means trash recycling and renewing old stuff instead of buying a new one
- i hardly eat meat (once in a month)
- i handle my water and energy use quite economically

..there are a lot of other ways how to spare our natur and its resources, but those are the simplest one , which anyone can go for.

Because we don`t want to destroy such a beauty..... one of the few things that has been given us for free

...and don't think your tiny piece of cake won't help, cause it does!

once upon a time....my fashion design trial

2009 i wanted to study fashion design ( my friend Inga told me it would be suitable for me :-))) ...it was fun to create the portfolio (i have learned to draw figures ), but they did not take me...never mind..it was not my thing to design clothes...watch some faces i have drawn ...they are funny :-)))

the main collection was inspired by starry nights i remember from long ago, nowdays i dont see such starry nights anymore that often :-(

 the luminaries-tights are still on my to-do list. with some fabric paint and stable hand easy to do.

the second collection was inspired by Porto Venere, small fisher town in Italy...where the houses are painted colorful. i love color since i can think, never understood people telling their favourite color was black (it is not even a color :-)) but i black and white too...when there is red added in small pieces :-))

 
i still want such a jumper though...maybe one day i got my printed cloudy sky tee.

the last collection called Human being was supposed to be the crazy one:

 misery is a butterfly....inspired by a song by Blonde Redhead

there is some deeper idea behind each of the piece :-))) i didn't put everything here...this amont of bummer is enought :-)))

DIY inspiration for your home

 if you have some rubish place nearby, go for a walk and take the saw with you :-) it is sad that many people throw still functionable pieces away to get something better and new...iam on the recycling trip putting a lot of "rubbish" in a new clothes. try it out, its more fun than buy such unique pieces for a plenty of money.

this looks a bit difficult, but i quess you will need  some old suitcase, thick foam, buttons, thick needle (my mum has remade our old sofa once) and you can get such a old chairlegs on the fleamarket. the colour combination is up to you...and i would not let person with over 90 kg sit on it :-))

                    this lovely paper tree is on my to-do list.

               in small spaces, such a basket storage can come very handy.

 old barock frames are not predicted just to hold some oil paintings ....let your creativity play...choose you favourite photos, postcards and make some collage.

all you need for this pillow, is plain pillow and some coloured fleece which you can cut in any shapes and then sew it on the pillow.

                       old boards don't have to be thrown away as you see.

      maybe your grandfather was a fisher once??? then you can sail in your dreams :-)))

this one you can make out of some small drawer cabinets...use more than one colour and you have plenty of storage being a proper eyecatcher also!

      ok, if you work full time, you are probably not going to try this one out :-)))

  you can make this even indoors usind some board on the wall. i think ikea has some stuff to hold those in the place.

again....old chairs....nice paint you can mix on your own just how you wish, some coating on it, thick foam and piece of fabric which you can staple onto the chairs...i would definitelly fix these three chairs together before putting the foam and the fabric on it.

                                                                   i love shabby chick.

         u can use a part of old ladder, paint it and then hang some decoration on it too.

               iam going to do this one as i have some old crocheted tablecloth at home

....my shop is open!

my Dawanda shop is open (link in the previous post). here is some new stuff i have created. now iam going to take a short break, as i have to get some photography homework for the photoschool done and enjoy these hot days with my husband and friends :-)
