Weekend walk

One lovely weekend day I spent with my family and lovely granddaughter in train station as she adore trains. It happens not so often - but I love these moments - it gives me joy of life, I cherish every second of those walks.

We were waiting for train coming and blowing some soap bubbles :) I was lucky because my little Sun shared some bubbles even if she like blow them by herself very much. If you feel sad sometimes TRY to have fun in such a way.

She was catching them and dancing.

Than she was seriously analysing train coming, I was surprised how important to her this moment is.


After trains atraction - we spent some time in wonderful our park. Some time in nature inspiring me for my art works, I have opportunity to find new motives, colors, backgrounds.

Just walking and breathing fresh autumn air also good experience.
Wish you to have good time in nature at least once a week. It will fill you with good energy and will provide you with motivation for any works..
With love...

Painting on silk

 Painting on silk
One day I asked my husband to take some photos of me working - the result this little photo story.
This is my little studio. In fact it is place on my kitchen oak table.


 
My modest silk dyes collection. I have main colors that I mix in various ways - if I need something special. 
Almost all colors on my silk paintings are mixed, only sometimes I use pure dyes, it determines the identity of my work.


My  MUSA and the guardian of good energy in my works during all painting process.



I paint on silk which is mounted on  wooden frame, handmade by my husband Bronius.


Often I work without any real sketches - they are inside me. I just took contour and draw the lines on pure white silk. Then mold the dyes.

At the end of painting hole scarf looks like this:



When painting is over -I have to iron silk scarf for half an hour, then taking some photos for listing it on Etsy.

This scarf was sold after couple days being on my Etsy store
