I have been featured in several blogs in the past month. It's a pretty good feeling for someone to write stuff about your shop, your style and technique. I appreciate the thought behind every item made and when customers care about where my inspirations come from that means my work is appreciated. All the time I put into research and making an item is worth it. Thank you all for including me into your blogs and articles.

I like to create a trend, not follow it, but it's always good to study what's out there.

Roses are Red

Here are some of the few cowl I have made. I really like the once with roses. They are already in my Etsy shop so stop by to check them out. And as always, I am open to any feedback.

Work in progress.... Fall fashion 2009

Some work in progress.

Currently working on some fall/winter 2009 cowls. I didn't want them to be boring.... anything but boring. Same old simple stretch of fabric around your neck is becoming boring to wear and to look at.

I simply can't believe that some sellers have a one layer piece of knitted fabric with a button to wrap around your neck and sell them for $40 and over and call it a cowl. Shouldn't it be warmer then that? Shouldn't it have a character? A style? ...

So, here are my ideas for cowls. They are coming out in all different colors for fall. They will also have matching wrist warmers and maybe leggings.

The yarn used for the moss cowl is one of the finest -- 100% Peruvian highland wool. It gives this cowl a bit chunky look and it is very warm.

The white cowl is made with acrylic yarn, but, it is very soft and durable. You can wash it 100 times and it will look just the same as when you just bought it. I actually liked it so much that I am leaving a white cowl for myself! :) and making another one for sale.

Fall 2009 review

Before creating a new line of fall items, I decided to dive into more creative ideas for Fall 2009 collections. The designs tend to replicate the 80's but in a more softer sort of way. The main color throughout the collections is dominantly black. However, when it came to details, every designer seemed to pick one bright color and stick with it, combining it either with black or charcoal grey and occasionally blue.

My favorite collection, without a doubt, was Marc by Marc Jacobs. Great colors, tons of inspirational pieces. Almost every outfit had red (as you can see from detail review on the left picture)

What's to come: leggings, cowls, wide scarves, and stripes.... lots of wide stripes.

Love the black rose wrist detail on the bottom picture.
