From the heart….

Posted on February 11, 2013 by Manor House Creations

Hello everyone…whose getting excited about Valentine’s day?…Its nearly here. And one of our talented designers, Elena Olinevich, has created the most precious of gifts in honour of it. Here’s what Elena created and what she had to say:

Recently I have fallen in love with OTP projects, and though I ‘m making just my first steps, I like experimenting with my favourite fabric – Linen.

I am from Belarus and linen is symbolic for my country, and associates with our national traditions.
So I sewed heart shapes using linen and decorated them with lace, sewing lace and cheesecloth. Then I added some bows made of lace trims
and decorated them with flowers. I didn’t want to be them in traditional pink/red colors, so I used Mia White and Dahlia -purple.

As a final step, I used my favourite technique - I covered everything just slightly with gesso, including the linen too.

Kind regards,

Elena.

My favourite photo

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Manor House Creations

Hello from Elena. This is my favourite picture of me and my newborn son. I wanted to express the softness of his arms and skin, the sweet smell
of his skin and the strength of my love. That is why I tried to  keep monochromatic colors and soft palette, and of course, some mixed media
techniques.


MHC: Lotus – white, Shimmers – Mixed, Springtime blue.

Hope you like it!
