I am truly blessed with many amazing and beyond talented friends, and today I would like to introduce you two of them: Anatoli and Elena.

They are not related to knitting or crocheting, but when it come to the art and design, it doesn’t really matter I think. Anatoli and Elena run their creativity in jewelry design and video production!

I’d like share two stories: “Engagement ring” and “My animal” ;0)

Engagement Ring

A year ago they created a wedding ring – all of it: idea, selection of stone, wireframe of design, 3D modeling, production, polishing and video production. This video was demonstrated at Mexico and ring was presented with proposal to get married. Exactly today that couple is again in Mexico but this time for wedding!!! And … you can guess … both wedding rings were designed and created by Anatoli and Elena! 

My Animal

Another project I’m in love is My Animal. The idea was to create a jewelry for animal owners. Lena decided to create a friend’s dog pendant (plus friend’s birthday was coming soon and such pendant would suit both purposes just fine).

Below is the video of all the process: photo shut session, 3D modeling, 3D printing, casting, polishing.

BTW, Anatoli and Elena run small private business GlamSilver – a green jewelry store. To visit their store, just click on the banner below, which also can be found at right bar here.

Not only guys offer lots of cool and fun jewelry, but they also have giveaways on regular base. Make sure to visit their eBay Store page and subscribe for newsletter.

A wonderful and lovely Sunday everyone!!

P.S.: I have some pretty exciting news for you. Stay tuned ;o)

Did you hear about Israel makeup artist Tal Peleg? She creates miniature works of art using eye makeup. Using eyelids as her canvas, she tackles each scenario with color, depth and texture. Needless to say, the results are nothing less than mind-blowing … and sure, I just can’t resist to share ;o) She’s totally amazing!!

Tal shares some answers to some frequently asked questions:
–> Yes, it is my eye.
–> No, it’s not hard to draw on my own eye. Actually, It’s much easier than drawing on someone else’s eyelid. I don’t move, don’t complain, I have a good eye shape for such things, and I have endless patience! Oh, and I always there for myself whenever I’ve got the muse… so I’m perfect as my own eye-model for that matter
However, I prefer to do full-face makeup looks on other people of course.
–> Yes, it is possible to be so precise with the right equipment, experience and steady hand. {People are writing names on rice grains for god’s sake! } Once, I used to be upset with skeptical people… now all I have to say is – thank you, I’ll take your disbelief as a compliment. I don’t feel I have to prove anything after all my hard (yet so fun!) work… take it or leave it
–> No, I’m not sad to remove the makeup creations off my eye after I’m done. Not even after all the hard work. As long as I know that I have a good photo of it, I’m just happy and relieved to clean my eyes from all the paint and lashes…
