Experimenting & My Moody Mood

         Hi folks! What's up? It's raining and I have the most "amazing" mood. A little sad, a little angry and very very tired. I would like to just give up but I can't... I'm too stubborn to do that. So I'm stuck with my ups and downs... and that "beautiful" weather doesn't help at all. I hate my blog's background as well, I need to change it soon. At least writing here my thoughts helps sooo much!! I almost feel a little better. Anyway, I would like to share my news with you.

          I decided to change the way I file my photographs and the codes of my designs, so from now on there won't be any codes at the end of my titles. 

          Yesterday, my students and I, we created beautiful bracelets with polymer clay beads and gemstone chips. I believe that I'll be able to post some photo tomorrow or during the weekend. 

          At last, I would like to show you my new tote bag! It took me 1 and a half months to create it but it worth it! I wanted a nice large black back with inner pockets and suitable for my needs (I carry almost everything around :P). Textured up-cycled black leather with cross-stitch details.

           That's all for now!

She Was A ... "Silver Bride"

       There are moments when you hear a song and then you just can't forget it... "From the misty dreams of nighttime..". That was how everything started :) Last Sunday my soul-mate and his band had a concert and when I heard the first notes.. I just .. I don't know... I've heard this song many many times before but that moment , it was amazing. They say that music has the power to ennoble the masses...it sure does!!!

Work In Progress: 3D Butterflies

Hello lovelies!

     Today I'm moody but very creative!! I've been trying to tidy up the whole mess around here. I still have boxes around and sometime soon I have to unpack for sure but it's boring! I've unpacked all the important stuff (my tools, my beads etc...)! Anyway today's post is a sneak peak! I want to decorate my living room and since I love butterflies I decided to experiment with air dry clay! So the result was these 3D butterflies!! I haven't finished with their wings yet but I couldn't wait to share!

    Have a nice weekend everybody!

Work In Progress: Elven Polymer Clay Cabochons

      It's been a while since the last time I posted anything here and it's been even more time since I've had clay in my hands! Omg! I've missed it so much!! The soft, smooth feeling and the ability to create the shapes you want! Just amazing! I usually don't post my unfinished creations but I'm so happy and I can't wait to find the suitable soft chocolate brown leather to attach them! I've already started imagining elves and fairies :)

It's not something fancy and unfortunately it doesn't have butterflies, sniff, sniff... It tried but the result wasn't what I wanted to be so here we are with a pair of cute purple (what else???) heart post earrings!!! What do you think???

      Καλησπέρα αγαπητοί μου φίλοι!!! Μετά από πολύ καιρό το ιστιολόγιο μου έχει επιτέλους το δικό του "button"!!! Μπορείτε να το βρείτε στην δεξιά στήλη :) Δεν είναι κάτι πολύπλοκο ή εντυπωσίακο και δυστηχώς δεν έχει πεταλούδες :(. Προσπάθησα να δημιουργήσω ένα με πεταλούδες αλλά το αποτέλεσμα δεν ήταν αυτό που θα ήθελα, οπότε κατέληξα σε ένα χαριτωμένο ζευγάρι σκουλαρίκια καρδούλες!!! Πώς σας φαίνεται:;;;;

P.S.: This is my favorite song for this week :), you know why :)

Υ.Γ.: Σας αφήνω με το αγαπημένο μου τραγούδι για αυτή την εβδομάδα!

"May" I?

      Χρόνια Πολλά και καλό Μήνα σε όλους! Ελπίζω να περνάτε υπέροχα! Σήμερα θα σας δείξω τα αποτελέσματα των πειραμάτων που έκανα με τη φωτογραφική μου! :) Απλά λάτρεψα το αποτέλεσμα με την εντολή macro! 

ღஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐღ  

       Happy Easter & Happy May everyone! I hope that you had amazing moments!! Today I'll show you the results of my experiments with my camera!! I really love the outcome! It was a pleasure testing the macro command , especially for first time!! 

"Pleiades Passion"

    Καλησπέρα σε όλους και καλό μήνα!!! Μετά από τόσο καιρό μπορώ να ανασάνω!! Η πτυχιακή μου σχεδόν τελείωσε και ελπίζω το Σεπτέμβρη να μπορώ να ορκιστώ!! Δεν έχω νέα να μοιραστώ μαζί σας εκτός από κάτι που με έκανε πολύ χαρούμενη!! Μια αγαπητή φίλη από Αμερική , η οποία φτιάχνει αρώματα μου ζήτησε να ποζάρω για το νέο της άρωμα!! Το αποτέλεσμα ακολουθεί παρακάτω! Αν έχετε χρόνο επισκεφθείτε τη σελίδα της Cat , Deep Midnight Perfumes, θα βρείτε μαγευτικά αρώματα βγαλμένα από ένα φανταστικό κόσμο!! 

       Hi there!!It;s been sooo long since the last time I posted anything here! I missed you so much! I almost finished my final paper and after the presentation I believe that I'll be able to post my news more often:) Everything is the same here , I follow the same routine everyday but I had amazing news few weeks ago!! My dear friend Cat, she is an amazing artist asked me to pose for her new perfume!! I'm so happy to present you "Pleiades Passion". If you have few minutes visit her amazing shop , Deep Midnight Perfumes, you will find many divine perfumes!! 

xoxo
Chris!

All Around Me Are Familiar Faces...

      Θα ήθελα να μοιραστώ μαζί σας ένα υπέροχο κομμάτι... Καλό Βράδυ....

      I would like to share with you this amazing song... good-night....

Goodbye My Little Friend....

      Εδώ και αρκετές μέρες είχα ξεκινήσει να γράφω αυτή την ανάρτηση... θα ήταν μια χαρούμενη ανάρτηση και θα ξεκίναγε κάπως έτσι: "Καλημέρα σε όλους!! Μετά από απουσία πολλών εβδομάδων θα ήθελα να σας ευχηθώ Καλή Χρόνια!! Μου έχει λείψει αφάνταστα να σας γράφω αλλά λόγο έλλειψης χρόνου και αυξημένων υποχρεώσεων ξεκινάω να σας γράψω και πάντα καταλήγω να μην έχω ολοκληρώσει αυτό που θα σας έγραφα..." αλλά κάποιος είχε άλλα σχέδια για σήμερα... ένα απλό αντίο και ας ήσουν μαζί μας μόνο μερικές στιγμές....

      I had started writing this post several days ago, it was supposed to be a happy post and it was going going to start like this: "Good-morning everyone! After for being away for several weeks I would like to wish you Happy New Year!! I've missed writing so much... but I wasn't able to find free time to post anything..." but someone had other plans for today... it's just a simple goodbye... even if you were with us for few moments...
