FABULA Christmas collection is almost ready. It was a crisp sunny day, so I decided to take a few photos out on the terrace. Gogol, my dog was impatiently waiting for his walk in the mountains.
All necklaces and earrings are made using semi-precious stones, recycled and new chains, vintage metal elements and found objects such as a link from an old chandelier.

The Ultimate Recycling
Forget about jewellery made from plastic bottles, bags from car tyres and purses from beer cans. Talk about the ultimate recycling: beautiful houses built with all the above trash!
I have just watched a fantastic documentary called 'Garbage Warrior' about Michael Reynolds, an eco-architect who can free people from landfills, utility bills and mortgage payment. Far from a hippy or utopist, Reynolds is a down-to-earth passionate hard-working man who provides a practical solution for easing the burden that we humans put on the environment. I am not into the idea of happy community living but I would certainly love to live in one of the houses built by Reynolds!

New Goodies
I have listed new designs in my shop. Vintage Murano glass beads, vintage chains, reclaimed metal and textiles all feature in the FABULA autumn collection. I am finally using the treasures that I have had for a while now: vintage beads that I bought on my flea market hunts, vintage Murano glass beads that were given to me a by a kind stranger who was retiring from his once thriving jewellery making business few years ago, old bangles that I rescued from a friend who was putting them in the bin.

The Magic of Red Cabbage
More experiments with natural dying. Such prosaic vegetable as red cabbage can help to create amazing shades of blue on vintage lace and textile!
