To ♥ Butterflies

"Living is not enough", said the butterfly. "One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower" - Hans Christian Andersen.

Butterflies! I’ve always been attracted to butterflies. I don’t know why, but something about that fragile being always touches me. Its colorfulness, its magnetizing beauty, its tenderness, and such a short existence make you think about life in a different way.

I find myself pondering about the butterfly’s metamorphosis, and all it goes through from the moment it hatches from its egg until it lays its own eggs and ends its life. From an egg, to a caterpillar, then in a cocoon and eventually the most amazing butterfly.

Here's one of my unique butterfly jewelry:

Achieving so much in such a short lifespan with so much beauty made me think about our life and how we too are like butterflies in some way. We are complex and amazing beings (and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise), however our life too can go by like a flash and we should live it to the fullest like the butterfly does. That’s how life should be, meaningful, colorful, and full of beauty. 

I’ve created my butterfly album on pinterest, you can take a look :-)

So Fan To Edit Photos !

I'd like to share with you a cool new freeware I found for editing photos: http://www.picmonkey.com/

It's great fun for any purpose and can even be useful for professional looking photos, just take a photo, and start editing and adding awesome effects. Take a look at what I've succeeded in doing so far:

                                                   With frame

                                        (happy new year in  Hebrew)  

Overlays

Focal soften effect and overlay

So fan and cute!

Another great idea is to take some of these photos and create a scrapbook with a twist, combining all your own photos for great memories ;-)

Cross Body Bags

Being a sworn fan of bags and shoes (aren't we all?) I've got this perfect collection of links to cross body bags I'm definitely going to own one day. They're perfect for the autumn and all year round too :-)

Here are some great ones from Etsy.com, a site I love for my ability to meet many small designers and buy directly from them. I have my own shop there too which you're more than welcome to visit ;-)

So here's my top 10 cross body bags list:

               A combination of red and black & white stripes looks great with just              

                                             about anything.

Dreaming Of The Winter

Just a short one to let you know I've just finished complicated welding in the scolding heat of summer

(can't wait for it to snow, which it doesn't do here...)

I feel like I've been through childbirth, again... :-))

and now time for a cold shower and dreaming of the Japanese coolness of September...
