More components / Še več koščkov

  Still playing with the same techniques (Helen Breil's Shapes and Iris Mishly & Hila Bushari's Cosmic Ceramic) and making more components:
  Še vedno se poigravam z istimi tehnikami (Helen Breil's Shapes in Cosmic Ceramic od Iris Mishly & Hile Bushari) in tukaj so novi koščki za nakit:


   Most of them are already on their way to Australia ... 
  Večina jih je že na poti v Avstralijo ... 

  Be happy,
  Bodite veseli,

My 1st Blogoversary Giveaway Update / Novice o nagradni igri ob 1. obletnici mojega bloga

  Hello! Do you remember the giveaway & blog hop for my 1st Blogoversary? Well, there are 13 artists that will play with me. 13 is my lucky number, so I'm sure we'll have fun!!! 
  Živjo! Se še spominjate moje nagradne igre ob 1. obletnici mojega bloga? Tokrat se bo kar 13 ustvarjalk igralo z mano. Trinajstica je moja srečna številka, zato že zdaj vem, da se bomo imeli fajn!!!

  Today I want to show you the ingredients of this game - the components the participants will have to cook with. In fact, each participant will receive a component (or a pair) and will have to create a piece of jewelry, an ornament or something else. 
  The mysterious part is that I have packed the components in envelopes, mixed them and only after that put the labels with the addresses on them. That means I have no idea who will receive what. How fun!!!
   Danes vam bom pokazala sestavine te moje igrice, in sicer sestavne dele, s katerimi se bodo sodelujoče poigrale. Vsaka sodelujoča bo namreč dobila en sestavni del (ali par) in bo morala iz njega ustvariti kos nakita, okrasek ali kaj drugega.
  Skrivnostni del je, da sem vse sestavne dele zapakirala, kuverte premešala in šele nato nalepila nanje naslove prejemnic. To pomeni, da niti jaz ne vem, kaj bo katera dobila. Kako zabavno!!!

 
Ingredients: two clasps, a pair of yabba-dabba beads, four bars, three connectors and two pendants / Sestavine: dve zaponki, par jaba-daba perl, štiri ploščice, tri vezni členi in dva obeska
 


      The packages will go out tomorrow. I know I'm a little late with this, but was working hard for my swap piece at the International polymer clay swaps FB group ... It was a fantasy vessel & twinchie swap and I'll show you what I've made when my partner Tina Holden receives it.
    Paketke bom poslala jutri. Vem, da sem malo pozna s tem, vendar sem imela precej dela z izdelkom za mednarodno izmenjavo v FB skupini International polymer clay swaps. V polimerno glino sem morala obleči aluminijasto škatlico na fantazijsko temo in dodati plščico 5x5 cm. Kaj sem ustvarila, vam bom pokazala, ko moja partnerica Tina Holden paketek prejme.

  So, the reveal date for my 1st Blogoversary giveaway & blog hop will be after a little more than a month - the August 11, 2013. Can't wait to see what everybody will create!!! 
   Sodelujoče bodo na svojih blogih razkrile svoje izdelke iz te moje nagradne igre čez približno mesec dni: 11. avgusta 2013. Komaj čakam, da vidim, kaj bodo ustvarile!!

   Be well,
  Bodite dobro,

   Alenka

2nd Annual Challenge of Music blog hop Reveal

Today is the reveal day for The Challenge of Music, hosted by Erin at Treasures-Found!


  The idea of the challenge is (borrowed from Erin's blog):
- to find a piece of instrumental music that speaks to you soul. The goal is to find a piece of music without any choral accompaniment, so that you have the freedom to interpret the colors, textures, shapes, movements and images that it evokes.
and  
- to create something of your choice - jewelry, accessory or some other artistic representation - that takes us on the journey of this piece of music.


  For this chllenge I've decided to "wipe the dust" from my old colection of CD-s and so I've found a CD of a Slovenian music group Terra Mystica. Their music accompanied me during the 1996, a year that was quite challenging for me, and full of turning points in my life. It was the period when I've begun to know myself better and overcome some barries in my mind. 

  The song I've chosen is Rhinoceros in the Cathedral:


 For a nice critics about their music in English, go here 


  And now back to the challenge.
One of my first associations when speaking about cathedrals, are the wonderful and impressive stained glass windows. Every time I visit a cathedral I keep wondering about the mastery of the artisans that created them. and I love the "visual music" crated by the sunlight shining through them ...

  As I work mostly with polymer clay, my challenge was to create something to resemble this kind of artistry - a faux stained glass focal and some faux glass beads.





  They are still not perfect, but I'll keep experimenting further ... 

  And here is the list of everyone else participating in this challenge. I'm sure you will find a lot of interesting creations as well as discover some music you've never heard before.
