Summer Bazaar!!

Μετά το χριστουγεννιάτικο bazaar, το ‘Γειά στα χέρια μας’, επιστρέφει για να καλοσορίσει το καλοκαίρι με ένα νέο bazaar παρέα με καλλιτέχνες, χειροτέχνες, diyers, crafters, designers και γενικά με ανθρώπους που εκφράζονται δημιουργώντας.
Για τρείς μέρες, Παρασκευή, Σάββατο και Κυριακή, διοργανώνουμε το πιο πολύχρωμο, ζωντανό και παιχνιδιάρικο Bazaar με ελεύθερη είσοδο για όλους!
Σας προσκαλούμε να έρθετε, να χαζέψετε τις νεανικές ιδέες που θα παρουσιάσουν τα... παιδιά και γιατί όχι να αγοράσετε δώρα για εσάς και τους αγαπημένους σας. Στόχος των συμμετεχόντων είναι να προωθήσουν την ιδέα του ‘buy handmade’ και να κάνουν αισθητή την παρουσία τους σε ένα υπερκαταναλωτικό κόσμο στηρίζοντας έμπρακτα την διαδικασία αγοράς ‘από τα χέρια του κατασκευαστή, στα χέρια του αγοραστή’ , χωρίς μεσάζοντες που ανεβάζουν το κόστος και χαμηλώνουν την ποιότητα!

Οι κατηγορίες προϊόντων που θα βρείτε στην έκθεση είναι:
Κόσμημα – αξεσουάρ – ένδυμα – κάρτες – γλυκά – παιχνίδια – αντικείμενα για παιδιά – διακοσμητικά καθώς και πληθώρα χρηστικών αντικειμένων.


Ας υποδεχτούμε το καλοκαίρι δημιουργικά…

Διάρκεια bazaar: 3 – 4 - 5 Ιουνίου 2011
Επισκέψιμες ώρες:
Παρασκευή: 18:00 – 24:00
Σάββατο: 11:00 – 24:00
Κυριακή: 11:00 – 22:00
είσοδος ελεύθερη

Στις 4 & 5/6 θα πραγματοποιηθούν workshops (εργαστήρια) με παρουσίαση τεχνικών κατασκευής κοσμήματος, κατασκευών DIY και διακοσμητικών, με ελεύθερη συμμετοχή.

Η έκθεση φιλοξενείται στο STAVLOS, Ηρακλειδών 10 , Θησείο, Αθήνα.

Tutorial by Alex Monroe....an amazing artist!

Check out this very interesting tutorial from a master of Jewelry making Alex Monroe! Its shows how you can create a feather from a sheet of metal. His designs are trully mouthwatering!

Recent purchase-Sari ribbon!

I am thrilled about my recent purchase so i am going to share it with you.
I bought a colorful silk ribbon skein from HamptonArtisticYarn made from hand cut strips of sari silk fabric which has been sewn end-to-end.

I just loved the colors!!

My first attempt in using them was this bracelet. I took a blue ribbon, braided it and used it as a bracelet for one of my butterflies :)

What are you dreaming off? Inspired by pilli pilli blog

I dream about taking a long nap, going to the beach and run around, eating a huge ice cream, being a kid again, go in a flower field and being happy!

The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination

Today i saw this video of the speech of J.K. Rowling at Harvard. Take a look...it quite inspiring.
"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all."

Hachico

In 1924 a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo took in Hachikō as a pet. During his owner's life Hachikō greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the golden brown Akita waited at Shibuya station.


Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, returning again and again to his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for the return of his owner.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for nine years with Hachikō appearing precisely when the train was due at the station
