spring break beads

new necklaces, made over my spring break. Instead of studying. As usual.

getting ready for Easter/ czekając na Wielkanoc

I made these guys today. It's spring, so I thought I would make a colorful flock of birds for Easter.

Underground Market

Hey there! Thank you all for coming to the Underground Market and purchasing some of our creations. We had a really fun day yesterday!

making beads on our sunny veranda/ na werandzie

It was supposed to be freezing cold today, instead it's sunny and really warm. I opened our veranda, I am sitting in the light and I am painting my beads. It helps to find words, to focus, to be and not to be.
Dzisiaj miało byc strasznie zimno a zamiast tego jest dość ciepło i słonecznie. Otworzyłam nasza werandę, siedzę sobie w świetle i maluje koraliki. Pomaga to na znalezienie słów, na skupienie, na bycie, niebycie.

instead/ zamiast

I have a huge presentation tomorrow and I should be getting ready for that, but instead this is what I do.

mam jutro wielką prezentację i powinnam się przygotowywać, zamiast tego, jak zwykle zajmuję sie czymś innym.

Ewa's modular rainbow cuff

Hello All,
This is my first entry here.
We are getting ready to expose our creations to public this Saturday from 11 to 5 in U district.
Please visit Urban Concept's underground market at the corner of 50th St and 17th Ave where you will be able to admire and purchase all our staff including my new modular rainbow cuff.
I am completely fascinated with modular knitting. Let's see how much I can make till Saturday

Chains and feathers have a new logo.

And finally Mari's stuff. Better later than never.

Ewa's new love - pearls.

more folk stuff/ Raz na ludowo

Coasters, 6 pieces.
Podstawki pod kubki, sześć sztuk.

I decided that that my posts are going to be bilingual, mainly because of my Mom, and several friends of mine who do not necessary speak English.
We are getting ready for the Underground market next Saturday in the University District. We met with Ewa yesterday and spent some time preparing stuff, talking and watching weeds. I am really excited bout this market, even if we don't sell anything I think it will be lots of fun. So see you on Saturday!

Postanowiłam, że moje posty będą w dwóch językach, głównie ze względu na moją Mamę i kilkoro przyjaciól, rodzinę, ktorzy niekoniecznie mowią po angielsku.
Przygotowywujemy się na Underground Market - taki rynek z ręcznie robionymi przedmiotami, mini wersja naszego Jarmarku Dominikańskiego. Wczoraj przyszla Ewa i zrobiłysmy kolczyki, ja ulepiłam koraliki i skończyłam podstawki pod kubki. Gadałyśmy sobie i ogladałyśmy serial "Weeds" o takiej kobitce, kurze domowej, która sprzedaje trawę. Bardzo czekam na ten rynek w sobotę, nawet jak nikt nic nie kupi, myslę, że będzie to fajna zabawa. Do zobaczenia w sobotę.

p.s. It is so odd.. words, meanings, subtexts that get lost in translation. Having life here and there with these and those words blows my mind every day. And ocasionaly breaks my heart.
p.s. dziwne to... slowa, znaczenia, podteksty, które gubia się w tłumaczeniu. Posiadanie życia tu i tam, z tymi i tamtymi slowami codziennie mnie zadziwia. I czasem łamie mi serce.

Ewa's feathers

You should see Ewa making these bohemian earrings. We had a party, I was dancing, Marie was recording my silly dance, Travis was doing dishes and Ewa just sat there, alienated, putting these feathers together, determined and focused.

purple plums

That's all folk!

some home decor inspired by Polish folk art.

foggy beads

It had been foggy lately. Inside and outside. So I made some foggy beads.
