Labrador Retriever Set - Earrings & Pendant
I have created this set for a passionate labrador retriever lover, but I was in doubt if these sad-faced dogs count for a good gift. However, the feedback I got from my friends at Flickr and Livejournal has shown that the dogs are still percieved as cute and funny. That is great - as I love the canework and it would hurt not to use them at all! Thank you, my commenters, your help is priceless!

Ceramic Pipe by Tucan Amaru
This is an OOAK pipe created by my friend. He is extremely talented artist and is absolutely unpredictable both with his life and creatures) I guess he would not be able to reproduce any of his pipes again even if he wanted to - they are too complicated and whimsical!
They have also got a peculiar energy pattern and are somewhat psychedelic.
I will be posting more of his works further as I feel they deserve publicity.

Pi Day - 3rd Month 14th Day!
My geeky piece dedicated to math nerds, Albert Einstein and fabulous geometry teacher I had in my school!
I guess eating apple Pi this day is good luck, right? )

Stunning textile dolls
Ceramic Steampunk Pinioneer
This is my answer to the hip trend of steampunk. I have seen plenty of works in metal and wanted to take a look at the style from a different angle. Stoneware steampunk - is that too weird?... I don't care, I wear my little Pinioneer on a waxed cord and love its vintage look!

Erko!
Here are the pictures by Vladislav Erko, one of the best Ukranian illustrators... I have come across these fabulously detailed works of art first when I was reading "The Alchemist" by Paolo Koelho and later books of Castaneda.
Enjoy these and these (look, the angel sitting down the first link is a pure Annie Lenox!). Just WOW, right? :)

Impressive & gentle works of Kyoko Okubo
I am just charmed by these washi paper sculptures...
You can see other works of this amazing artist here and here.
I would also like to share the clip that sprang to my mind when I saw Kyoko's masterpieces.
It was Daily Art Muse that brought Kyoko to my attention today.

Payment at Etsy
There are two ways to pay:
1) with your credit card via Moneybookers system - you can pay with your credit card via SSL (Secure Socket Layer technology with high security 128bit encryption, certified by Verisign Secured). Please note that I do not actually get your credit card details, I only receive the payment at my account. The fee for transaction is the smallest!
Moneybookers is the British system which works the same way as Paypal. It was developed with the same demands on security and performance as the sites used for bank services and share trading - using only the most modern security technology: account login, personal details and all money transactions are secured using (SSL). Please note that Escrow option will not work for Russia because shipment will most likely take longer that 14 days.
Please see their FAQ link for further information:
http://www.moneybookers.com/app/faq.pl?gid=2
2) with a money order – I accept money orders via Moneygram, Unistream and Anelik.
Anelik system has the lowest fee for transaction - 3% (the charge is paid by the sender).
To send cash the sender has to indicate first name, last name, middle name (if any), city and country of the receiver. Application is filled in by the manager. You also need to provide identification document. You need no bank account details to make a transaction.
Sender should provide the unique control number of transfer to the receiver. To pick up cash the receiver should indicate number and show his/her ID. The transfer pay-out is executed within 1-24 banking hours. The transfer order formalities last for 3 minutes in average.
It is available for the following countries:
Canada, United States of America; Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland; Israel, Mongolia, Vietnam.
Their website is http://www.anelik.ru/eng/.
Moneygram – the transaction fee varies depending on the country.
To send cash you need to bring your identification document along (passport, driving license, national identity card or a government issued identification; you may also be required to provide proof of address (bank statement or utility bill); requirements vary by country, so please ask your local MoneyGram agent for acceptable identification formats). You will have to complete a simple ‘send’ form and hand it to the MoneyGram agent along with the money you want to send and the transfer fee. You may also include a free 10-word message on the form. Then you have to contact the receiver with the reference number.
Here you can calculate the transaction fee amount:

Unistream – the transaction fee also varies depending on the country.
To send cash you need to bring your identification document along (requirements vary by country so please ask your local Unistream agent for acceptable identification formats). The agent fills out the form and gives it to you to check and sign. Then you get a reference number, which you provide afterwards to the receiver along with your full name details.

Sorry again for the possible inconvenience, I am still looking into possibilities of providing more handy ways to pay. Thank you in advance.

My "Twilight Elf" got silver at PCAGOE Monthly Challenge!
PCAGOE stands for the international polymer clay artist guild which unites 85 artisans selling their goods at Etsy. The guild has got a blog and Flickr group. Each month a competition called Monthly Challenge is held. Currently everybody who works (or plays) with polymer clay is eligible to take part in it! That was my first participation in the Challenge (hopefully, not the last) and I am absolutely happy with my breakthrough!!
I would like to say special thanks to folks who supported my Elf! Thank you guys, this means a lot to me!
PS I am very glad to come second to the wonderful dog that feeds on homework! That would be my personal №1 if I could vote this time :)
