Gufobardo & Relydesign

Collaborations between people is great and this earrings are born thanks to an idea of Gufobardo, at Italian artist that I met joining the Etsy Italia team!!

She gave me the idea of print one of hers draw and then fold the paper so the result is a jewel that enclose your favorite image and you are the only one who know the memories and the affections that it preserves.

The amazing thing is that you can also choose a draw of your kids, a diploma, a special and romantic letter from your love…. And of course you don’t have to send me the original, just a photo of it (I need a good quality one)!! you can check it out here: the phoenix's tulip

What do you think?? I think that is a great way to let you became a part of the jewel, because you can actually choose the pattern;)

Let’s talk about Gufobardo!

She is of course a really creative artist, I love people that can draw in such a gorgeous way… I’d like to be as good as she is but I am not!!! Her draws are magic and the figures are kind of spirits and fairies!!! Of course I am one of her customers and I am waiting my special moleskina!!!! One of her last project is to decorate moleskina’s diaries ..so they become special and unique pieces of her talent.

She also made surrealistic jewelries with buttons, wire, shells, geamstone… like samples of an amazing world that she want to show as, and handmade animals, like the bear in the picture, really well made!

Tights mania!

The winter is awful I know…but one of the things that I just love is that I can wear tights!!! I love them all but especially if they are full of color, with flowers, comics, dots etc…

Last September I bought in Avoca (an Amazing Irish shop) these kind of socks to put on the tights … In the picture you can see them in green but I bought in purple… I already told you about this shop (Avoca and fresh mint_ Only letters)… I love it and every time I went in I was ready to buy something ;)


L’inverno è assolutamente orribile…lo so …ma una delle cose che amo è quella di poter usare i collants ;) Le adoro tutte ma in particolare se sono colorate, con fiori, fumetti, pois …etc
Lo scorso Settembre ho comprato da Avoca (un favoloso negozio Irlandese) questa specie di calzettoni … nell’ immagini qui soprao li vedete in verde ma io li ho comperati violetti…. Vi ho già parlato di questo shop (Avoca and fresh mint_ Only letters)… lo adoro e ogni volta che ci entravo ero pronta a comperare qualcosa ;)


Thanks to Marì, my Dublin’s friend, I knew a brand of tights really cool… and of course I felt in love… Do you know Pamela Mann’s tights?? check it out because they are absolutely fantastic ;) I love and I bought the one with comics but I am sure that you can find a pair just perfect for you

On Etsy I found a shop called “Post”! they are, in the picture, the one with the bird and wrote “follow me”…Adorable!!! Of course this shop is one of my favourite on Etsy ;)
__________

Grazie a Marì mia compagna di avventure Dublinesi sono venuta a conoscenza si un marchio di calze di cui mi sono naturalmente innamorata a prima vista!! Conoscete le calze di Pamela Mann?? Bhe se la risposta è no andate a farvi un giro sul sito perché sono fantastiche ;) Ho comperato quelle con i fumetti ma se sono troppo estreme sono sicura che potrai trovare quelle che fanno apposta per te.

Su Etsy ho scovato un negozio chiamato “Post”! Sono nell'immagine, quelle con l’uccellino e scritto follow me… Adorabili!!! Naturalmente questo negozio è tra i miei preferiti su Etsy ;)

Made in Italy 2

I wanted to say thank you to 2 girls (that I met into the etsyitaliateam) because they chose my blog as favourite ;) and I want also keep going with my post to the Made in Italy.

Ylenia_ WakameSalada makes a really particular stuff. I love her necklaces because they remind me the line of the Italian’s futurism. The cowl is also hers and I love the buttons that she used!!! Blog or Etsy shop

Federica_CoccinelleRouge makes wonderful gloves really elegant and well-designed for this cold and long winters but if you go on hers Etsy shop you an also see cute Keychain made of felt and with animal’s shape! Blog or Etsy shop

It’s amazing to see how all of us have a particular story ,passions, interests that kind of merge into the creations to became something unique!

Con questo post voglio ringraziare due ragazze dell’etsy italia team che mi hanno gentilmente citato nei loro blog ;) e voglio inoltre continuare i miei post sul made in Italy.

Ylenia _ Wakame Salada crea cosine molto particolari e io in particolare adoro le sue collane dai rimandi secondo me futuristi, sono comunque altrettanto carini anche questi modelli di scalda collo… di cui adoro i bottoni scelti. Blog o Etsy shop

Coccinelle crea invece stupendi guantoni dalle linee eleganti e raffinate adatti a questi inverni lunghissimi e freddi ma se andate nel suo Etsy shop potete anche vedere i portachiavi in feltro a forma di animaletti, deliziosi! Blog o Etsy shop

E’ bello vedere come ognuna di noi ha una storia, delle passioni e interessi che si fondono nelle cose create per arrivare a qualcosa di unico

Relydesign on Mommy the Marketer

A week ago I read an amazing post about Gufobardo on Mommy the marketer ... I also read about the opportunity to get promoted... so I sent an email to Amber and she answered me back in a really kind way ;) Yesterday she contacted me and she told me that she was going to put me and my shop on her website.... i was really happy !!

You can see also the post on her blog : Mommy the marketer blog .

Colors & Interiors

I am an interior designer so in my free time I like looking also at interiors.
I love using colors . Colors in the furniture but also in the paint.
A friend of mine did her lovely house using the color a lot and the result is something really nice and unique.
Here some ideas that i saved from the internet.

a.James Merrel b. ... c.Flickr_eclectic gipsyland d.Flickr_Eclectic gipsyland e. Jeanne Botes

Sono una disegnatrice di interni e quindi nel mio tempo libero mi piace dare un occhiata anche agli interni.
Amo l'uso del colore sia per i mobili che come pittura di pareti.
Una mia amica per la sua casa ha usato molto il colore e il risultato e qualcosa di veramente carino unico.

Ecco qui alcune idee che ho salvato da internet.

An apple a day.....

relydesign_apples

Two new version of the paper apples are coming on my etsy shop.
I am really proud of them because i think that the result is good. I am usually really critique about my work but i think that these are well made ;) and I hope that you think the same!

I also love my new photoshop brushes.... i bought them on Etsy, uncovered images.
__________

Due nuove versioni delle mele (orecchini di carta) stanno per arrivare nel mio negoziuccio Etsy!
Ne sono veramente orgogliosa perchè penso che il risultato sia buono. Sono solitamente molto critica delle cose che faccio ma credo che queste meline siano ben realizzate ;) e spero che voi pensate lo stesso !

Adoro anche i mie nuovi pennelli per photoshop ... li comprati su Etsy, uncovered images.

Hearts for Haiti and Etsyitaliateam challange!

I did it!

Yesterday i sent an email to Etsy hearts for Haiti and I donated the Campbell's earrings... I think is good when you do something for a good cause ;) Now I have just to wait that somebody fell in love with them and that will decide to buy it ;)
__________

Fatto!

Ieri ho spedito l''email a Etsy Heart for Haiti e ho donato i gli orecchini ispirati all'opera di Warhol...da me chiamati Campbell ;)...Credo che è veramente bello fare qualcosa per una buona causa;) Ora devo solo aspettare che qualcuno se ne innamori e decida di comprarli ;)

One thing that i really like about Etsy is the etsyitaliateam.... and the way we help each other every week ;)... I am new on this team but the feeling is great !This month they organize two challenge...one for Saint Valentine and the other for Carnival ... So after the challenge is decided you have to make something following this idea.
For the first one i made a little card with lovebirds...and i couldn't believe but it was my first sale... so made it again..just a little bit different because i like especially in the card the uniqueness.
__________
Una delle cose che mi piace di Etsy è l'EtsyItaliaTeam...e il modo in cui noi ci aiutiamo ogni settimana ;)... Sono nuova in questo team ma l'atmosfera è grandiosa! questo mese hanno organizzato due challenge ... uno per san Valentino e l'altro per Carnevale ...così dopo che il tema è deciso devi solo ingegnarti per creare qualcosa a tema.
Per il primo ho creato un bigliettino con i lovebirds... e non ci potevo credere quando è diventato anche la mia prima vendita ...così lo creato di nuovo ...solo un po' differente perchè mi piace sopratutto per i bigliettini il concetto di unicità.

For the second challenge I was looking for something particular and I was surfing the internet when I saw Goldfrapp dress up like Harlequin ...so I decided to let me inspired from this photo for make my paper earrings.

__________

Per il secondo Challenge volevo creare qualcosa di particolare e stavo navigando in internet quando ho visto Goldfrapp, la cantante, vestita come Arlecchino... così ho deciso di lasciarmi ispirare da questa foto per creare i miei orecchini di carta.
