Hello September!

Hello everyone!

September has reached us already. Sad truth is Summer is in decline. Good thing is we shall ride towards the Sea to pay or respects and see it off properly. 

But just before golden leaves start falling in scarlet shadows and cool rain kicks in... Craftwomen is the place to resort to. It's like going to an old lady for a chocolate chip cookie or a piece of homemade raspberry cake with a cup of tea.

We have some of our old jewelry designs, only this time finished in new colours.

We also attempted some experimental shooting to catch the eye. Pleased as we are with the results, we leave the final verdict to you.

Of course, all these little beauties are waiting to be found in our online Etsy shop.

Hand painted Bags Summer 2014

Hello Sunny July and hello everybody!

We just launched a brand new project of ours in attempt to get you with a pleasant surprise. Our hand painted cotton bags are here now to facilitate your summer walks, market hunts, and your everyday activities. Arrangement of the planets and mastermind engineering favour adding something additional to your overall outfit just to make the world a better place. You know very well that you can trust us when we say so.

Here are some specs:

The bags are 100 % cotton. Some of the designs feature long and short handles to suit any taste.

Patterns can be made in custom colours.

We use special textile paint so all bags are machine washable up to 30 C.

Please send us a message in our facebook page if you are willing to order any bags.

For our local customers we use Econt courier services and for our customers out of Bulgaria we ship with Bulgarian Post Offices.

We will be happy to hear your thoughts about this new project.

        

                         

                       

Have a great week and stay tuned for more hand-painted designs!

Jahmmi Youth - Vikai

Hi there!

You see, we started the whole Craftwomen thing because we needed a way to express, promote and develop our art. So our thing is our thing and we strive for perfection in what we do. Profiled as we are, we are not strangers to other forms of art. Because in the end it is all a part of a Masterplan.

This post is a shout out to all successful art-meets-art bombs. 

Are you familiar with  Jahmmi Youth? If not, shame on you! Luckily there is a remedy for that. Go play Jahmmi Youth and his new track Vikai (Shout). It is the first Bulgarian track of Jahmmi Youth and Craftwomen are really proud to be featured in the video with some of our neon jewellry designs.

We do not always get represented in music videos but when we do, we do it in style. Big up!

Enjoy the video and spread the LOVE!

Find more info for Jahmmi Youth here.

Giardinoblu Exclusive Organic Jewelry

Hi there!

We are eager to share with you one of our favourite artists we found in the ocean of Etsy shops.

Francesca Mancini - an organic designer and jewelry maker. You can find her works under the name Giardinoblu, an independent lab that works with organic and recycling materials. 

Watching her jewelry designs one might end up in some sunny green woods and at the same fall under the spell of Italy. An explosion of urban and countryside emotions you would want to experience every day.

Our favourite collections of Giardinoblu are the Beetle Collection and the Drop Collection.

Striking varaiery of bracelets, brooches, rings and necklaces that fascinate with magic and style.

Should you be willing to dig deeper into Giardinoblu's world, make sure to check out her website where you can find more info and see all the collections or select a fine item if you will.

Cheer up

Hi there!

As always we are focused on trying to create beautiful items for people to use as weapons fighting against winter boredom.

So, if you are feeling sleepy and under the weather - our Etsy shop is the place to resort to.

There you may find the new wooden bracelets, as promised. At least, a brief moment of excitement and pleasure is what we offer.

Now cheer up, ladies and gentlemen!

Now we are eager to reveal our Purple and Red Wooden Brocade Bracelet. 

Wood is clear-shaped enriched with purple brocade. Just what one would need to break the colourless silence of snow. Dare!

Sorry for not posting for so long but it was for a good reason after all. We got involved in a bursting project with a young and enthusiastic Bulgarian crew.
