White angular mirror...

...going to it´s new home to US

Murphy´s law

Yay - all of my custom orders have been filled by today and I´m really satisfied. After pretty sleepy beginning of the year, I suddenly got so many custom orders. I love when I have much work but this time it was a bit more complicated - I had a part of my left lung removed in April and I could´t work after that for a while. Luckily I had such a great customers, who totally understood the situation and were happy to wait til I got better.

Here are some of the custom orders I filled after the op:

Two matching black and white coffee tables for Megan (US)

Two golden fruit platters for Inhara (UK)

Black coffee table for Julie (Canada)

Big golden fruit platter for Mairika (Estonia)

Two mirrored coffee tables for Domonique (US) 

I hope to hear from Domonique soon :)

Two extra large mirrors for Catriin (Estonia)

For my Mother

Yep, I´ve got the best Mom in the world. I´m sure your´s is pretty good as well :) Today´s blog post is for her, for my mother Merike. I have written few poems for her, but this one is my favorite. It´s in Estonian language and I´m not going to translate it, so you´ll just have to take my world - she is the best :)

Kulda ja mulda

Võtan pääsulinnu sabasiilu,

rünkpilvede hallika viiru,

meelespea õie sinise värvi

tilgakese kõiki meresi, jõgesi ja järvi.

Võtan pihutäie võilillekulda,

maapõuest sooja musta mulda,

soo ja raba magedat vett,

mesikärjest pisut mett.

Võtan tõusu, võtan mõõna,

päikseloojangu- ja tõusu lõõma.

Võtan lume õhukese koore,

pakse pehmeid uduloore.

Korjan mõned liivaterad

kõue kuumad tulekerad.

Võtan pilved, päikse, tuule,

vormub sõnum neist, kas kuuled?

Sina, Ema, oled kõige algus,

oled soojus, oled valgus.

Sinu soe ja pehme käsi

eales loomast, kaitsmast väsi.

Mina, Tütar, olen Sinu vili,

aitäh, et sain Sinult mulda ja kulda.

Sain pääsulinnu sabasiilu

ja rünkpilvede hallika viiru.

Aitäh, et sain kaasa tõusu ja mõõna,

päikseloojangu- ja tõusu lõõma.

Aitäh, et andsid soo ja raba magedat vett,

aitäh, et andsid palju mesimagusat mett!

/by your daughter, Sirli /

Happy Mother´s Day to all good Mothers!

 

 

 

See you soon :)

My dearest readers, I will be away for one week, so there will be no new posts from me.  I will be back soon to share my thoughts and works :)

This time for Indonesia

The country where I fell in love in mosaics :)

Fly safely to Paris!

Bonjour!

I got a message from Etsy's PR Manager from France the other day, she asked me to send a set of my white fruit platters to Etsy´s press day.

The lady said: "We are organizing our first press day here in France on the 27th of March and we need your help! During this press day, we will be creating a showroom in order to present the diversity of products sold on Etsy  We will be recreating the apartment of a couple with a child, as well as a space themed around weddings. During this 1 day event, we are expecting about a hundred journalists and bloggers. This is a great opportunity for you to show off your products to the French media."


I think it´s a great opportunity to make my shop more visible, so today I sent the platters to Paris: 

Ucuspucus and me sowing some seeds

See, the title is almost a rhyme
and I feel like it´s time
to talk about pots, plants and seeds
because spring is coming, indeed :)

It´ s funny how all these little rhymes are coming out of my sleeve all of the time. Few years ago I used to make poems, but only in Estonian language. If I would sit down and take a pen and piece of paper, I´m sure I would still got it, but I pour almost all of my creativeness into my mosaics today.

So where was I - oh yeah, I wanted to talk about spring and seeds. Me and my Etsy friend Ucuspucus from Romania (Raluca is her real name and Raluca is one multifunctional person - she is an ENT surgeon and an artist at the same time) decided to sow some seeds on a same day. So we did. Here are my pots with the seeds sown already:

 

I hope to see some photos of Raluca´s seeds and pots soon, but on the meanwhile I can see her wonderful work in Etsy: Ucuspucus has also planted some plants into her paintings like on this one:

I also love Raluca´s watercolor hedgehog´s painting :

There are many more beautiful works from her, but check it out yourself, I´ll go and talk to the seeds now, this way they will grow better :)
