My Top 7 Butterfly Gifts For The upcoming Holiday Season

For those of you who've been following, you already know about my fascination with butterflies. As the holidays are getting closer I decided to dedicate this post to 7 (because 7 is my lucky number) cool butterfly related presents I found on Etsy, and would not say no if someone would like to get them for me ;-)

The first – AMAZING! A wonderful print of Alice in Wonderland with butterflies, printed on an old book. The perfect present for a recycle loving fan like me. Hang it up on your wall for that added touch of color for art and recycle lovers.

A butterfly ornament made of metal wire and wood, simple beauty to decorate my garden.

Recycling again – this Etsy shop charmed me and I think I'm in love. They make all these cute knick knacks out of pop tabs! Beautifully colorful. 

Love your stockings? I definitely do. I have a whole collection and these will be joining it shortly.

For those of you who love D.I.Y here's a beautiful piece of leather printed with a colorful butterflies design. I'm sure you can think of something to do with it...:-)

A great present for the girly girls (me me!) to organize all your cosmetics stuff.

Beautiful and practical butterfly pot stands. Need I say more?

I'd love to get them all, I guess I have to choose the one I love…. Maybe two…?

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 ;-)

All my LoVe,

My Animated Life :-)

Anime, I love it. If I could animate life it would be great, just make everything possible. I still like the physical world, I like feeling the materials and creating things in 3D in a 3D life. And thinking of it, how could I be a jewelry maker in the 2D world, should I make a jewelry app to make people happy

I found this great zebra dress for 500yen in a recycle shop in Japan (recycle shop sounds so much nicer than a second hand shop, doesn't it ;-) 500yen is about 5$, I got the lace skirt at Zara for about 25$ and then the boots from Ebay for 38$ postage included!
the necklace is my own work: 

I had my good friend Eliya Tsuchida To animate this photo for me as I just love animal prints, he and his wife are amazing artists. You can see their work here.

I think I'm going to my studio now; I need to feel my materials after this post!

All my LoVe
