View from our Atelier


Here a little peek of our view from our atelier window.
And as you might have noticed there is a little guy on the trunk of the Palm tree.


Here you see him a little closer, the smart guy was catching flies high and dry, and keeping a sharp eye around him, look how he is looking at me :)


The funny thing is that last year we had another visitor on the same tree, at least I think he is not the same. I love how the structure of the tree and the reptile are the same :)

Exhibition


As I have mentioned several times before, this Winter we have attended a special silver course. These courses are arranged and paid for by a government under the name of Public Education. The courses are usually attended by women, rarely men, mostly as these courses are often attended by housewives, or retired people, anyway often people who do not have a regular job as the course are at day time. We do not fall in any of the categories, especially NOT the housewife lol :) But we had great fun and learned some special techniques which we will be able to use in our new jewelry pieces.


After 5 months, 3 days a week our course is coming to an end, next week will be our final week, this week however all the different courses had their exhibition to showcase what we all have made in the past months. There was our Silver jewelry pieces, oil paintings, marbled paper art, ceramics, hand painted wooden objects, beaded jewelry, wearable and home textile and embroidery.



Everyone was also welcome to sell their pieces for some extra income, most ladies were pleased with what they earned in the two days, the sale feel like a little reward after all the months of hard work :)



Some of our pieces are already in our shop in the Silver category and many more will be listed, we are planning to explore more of these techniques this Summer.

A Little Break


We have been two busy bees lately without any breaks. On Sunday we had our exhibition but as I had (and still have) the flu we did not go as I would have only been making everyone else ill while sneezing the place down :)


So we decided to make a 'real' Sunday out of it and had a lovely brunch outdoors and after that explored yet another unknown road leading to an unknown shore. The roads were too rough for our car so the last 2 miles we went on foot. We were welcomed by these lovely donkey's first.


And we came across dozens of turtles, I am not exaggerating! Every few meters their was another turtle, we were speculating that they maybe had a meeting on Monday as they all were going the same direction :)


In our area honey is a the income source for many, and we came across this funny rustic thing. I think there was a dead fish in it and a bunch of bees, but we have no idea what it was for.



And finally the shore! We did not see a single soul the entire day, what a luxury! At parts the shore was too narrow or non existing the walk but the weather was nice so we just walked bare-feet in the water. But the walk was worth it, we found beautiful driftwood and plenty of sea urchins and shells.


The way back was a bit tougher, with the weight of our treasures and walking uphills whith a terrible runny nose, but we made it and we had a great day :)
