June in its gorgeous bloom. Month of roses, peonies, tall grass and long evenings. It smells like honey and fresh leaves to me. It's a morning of Summer. When I look at these portraits of my daughter captured and edited by Darja, my favorite Edinburgh based photographer and also a good friend, I can feel the delicate touches of roses petals and aroma of blooming gardens gently carried to me with light wind. So here is a full series of Mia Posing with gorgeous golden roses in her hairs we managed to make at little secret garden in Edinburgh, just a few steps away from roaming waves of sea. Photography and retouch - Darja Bilyk https://darja-bilyk.com/ And a little bonus -...
When it comes to beach walk, Scotland may confuse anyone with the wide selection of options can drive to within an hour from Edinburgh. And Kingdom of Fife (north west from Edinburgh, just across the Firth of Forth) is full of different scenic routes and beaches that will steal your heart and will make your camera roll burst of sea views photos. After lockdown was lifted a bit, we decided to take kids to burn their crazy somewhere outdoors and as all our family prefer easy and chill type of day travel, we went to a little town of Elie and beach called Ruby bay (I didn't know the reason of such name at the time) because it was not...
Let's talk about something that no any owner of creative business will ever say out loud: what I do for money and what I do for my own art and creativity? Risky thing to say in front of customers. I know many of other crown and jewelry makers following me and I know we all had a peak into "sales tips" at Etsy or other online portals at least ones in ours lives. The only common advice there for easy selling - do what sells well, do trendy things, do what people are expecting to buy in nearest future. Well, that a good advice. But I still can't follow it! I have a creative monster inside of me who is...
Some new crowns have landed into the shop!
The most elegant color is now in stock of MoonDome shop. It is like having a little black dress, but crown. I need to set up Halloween photo shoot to catch these two beautiful creations in all its glory!
Working with black painted/coated metal is not that easy ast there is a constant risk of scratching the smooth surface. i am always taking extra care while creating crowns as I believe in saying that truly chick pieces are not only beautiful from front side, but on back side two.
I am hsppy with these crowns and will see? if they will still your heart too...
Have you ever thought about how you may look in the eyes of others? They say, marketing is a skill that let you speak the language of your auditory. From my own experience and my friends stories, I know that most of struggles for new artists, especially when they aim to set up a business, comes from a question - what I represent and how can I state that through my own business style? You see, there is nothing about "what should I produce to be heard" because creations come first, we are already creating them.
