The best small to medium size dogs is..

..Swedish Vollhand!
Ok, I am obsessing a little bit, but look at it!.. isn't this the most real yet cute dog breed ever?
It is no toy-lap-couch-potato, it is not crazy as some hyperactive breeds. It's just..smart, active, friendly, healthy, balanced, playful and.. ahh....
It reminds me of german shepherd a lot. it's like a big dog in a small body.
However, and here the dramatic point. Swedish vollhands are so rare in united states and oh-so expensive!
I wish I could get one some time in future, because it's such a wonderful...ok,ok. I shut up :)

Surprise, surprise!

If you've ever visited my Etsy shop you saw the free earrings deal I put there from time to time.
Frankly, it is boring to make the same stuff every time just to be consistent with the online postings.
I figured it is boring for my clients too, since once if they've got free dangling cuties, they are basically don't need another version again.
Also I have a weak spot for little surprises, and I know many of you do too:))
It is somewhat silly yet so amazing to open a long-awaited package and issue a relieved sigh if the order is true to size, color and quality.. and then... squeak with excitement after spotting something else hidden there!
Ohhh those moments make long hours of the shopping and debating "do i need this?.." worth it!
Ssssooo now I have a special offer in my shop: Surprise Earrings!
The setup is - you can ask for certain metal+color or wait for a complete surprise!
I promise to send you something: cute, colorful and well-made!

One more reason to like Two's Ruse Facebook page

Posting an item at the online market like Etsy or Artfire is not such a speedy proccess I must say.
Therefore, sometimes there are weeks and months between me actually making a piece and putting it our on twosruse.etsy.com
However, posting a picture with a short description is relatively easy and fast.
So I started doing presale showings on my Fb page.
The result was that sometimes a jewelry piece would sell way before it makes it to the online shop!
For example, here is my baroque inspired design with vintage frames and fresh water pearls.
It has been sold almost immediately after posting this pic on www.facebook.com/twosruse

So if you wanna be the first one to see the freshest and best designs - click "Like" on my Fb page, so you don't miss out!;))

Let's get this party started!

I recently came across the fact that I did not have any bright and dressy earrings to go out. Obviously I have ton of jewelry, and keep getting and making more, and yet...
something was missing.
So I bought some absolutely stunning baroque-inspired components, light-weight and shiny acrylic, glass abd gemstone beads and... basically played a lot with them all!
See what appeared in the result:)

Peach days are coming

It is always very flattering in a ticklish way to be featured in the thematic treasuries.
Today I was thrilled to notice that it is the second time in a week when my works are featured in the Peach color inspired collages. Well, it is a fashion trend apporaching or.. I am such a peach lover that everybody sees right through me:)))
Check out these cuties and think about what color do you want to feature in your wardrobe;)

My favorite baby:)

I was drawing and drawing, waisting paper and losing patience. And not a  single idea of one curve that will look aesthetic and eye captivating was not coming to me.
Accidently I dropped the sketch book, looked sideways, glanced back.. and it was there - in the intersections of other lines and shapes.
Then a long and meditative play with colors and beads, adding up, editing down, here and there...
And here is my absolute favorite creation at the moment - Quaint Lantern Earrings!
I hope you like them as much as I do:)
