A warning to all men that stay beside genious women - don't ever make them suffer! You will regret it but it would be too late!

I said in my previous post that I shouldn't show you the picture of unfinished Japanese Cat, the latest and cutest Yanka's project. Now it doesn't matter. This is Japanese Cat, a little embroidery that I was so fond of and run to check on the progress every day after coming home from work. This is the Japanese Cat​, bright, cheerful, full of character, so special.
Picture
I killed it.
I made a mistake. Again. I tried to avoid bigger trouble by cutting conversation in midair, and made it worse. Again. I tried to calm Yanka down and used wrong words. Again. I made Yanka furious and left her alone when she stormed out of the door to the bedroom. I hoped to give her time, and indeed there was silence for a few minutes.
Then Yanka came back, took sewing scissors and cut this little embroidery in front of my eyes.
It had to have yellow belly, pink ears and teeny-weeny green eyes, and roses all around it, but it is dead now. Yellow belly, pink ears and teeny-weeny green eyes.
I don't know if there would be any more news on our site. I don't know if there would be a site. There weren't any sales here anywas, but at least there was hope to start selling, and we both worked for it.
There ain't us anymore, and I don't know what to do in order to change it. Too many mistakes for too many years, over and over again.
Men, if you hear me, don't do it, by any means, don't make them suffer, don't make your gals angry. They create marvelous things, when you bring them pain, and sorrow, and when you disappoint them, and when you fail them, you destroy all these things, everything.
Don't forget the Japanese Cat. Yellow belly, pink ears abd teeny-weeny green eyes.

Prepare for very small but extra powerful cuteness attack - Yanka makes a new cat hoop art!

Yes, I know, I shouldn't show it to you, but I just fell in love with this project, and I'm sure that you will love it too.
Some time ago we bought two rice bowls online from a nice Japanese man, and when they arrived, we found several Japanese postcards inside, all featuring hand-drawn cats, one cuter than another. It was such a nice surprise!
(Wish we knew who was the artist that draw these cats. If you recognize it and know the artist, please, tell us, and we will gladly credit him or her here.) Ever since Yanka wanted to bring these images into her craft. We tried several things including papier-mache sculptures, but it wasn't very successful, so I almost forgot about the Japanese cats, and then... A few days ago Yanka told me that she started embroidering a cat, but she didn't tell which one, so I was almost unprepared when she let me see this:
Picture
He will have green eyes, you know? Teeny-veeny green eyes.
I have no illusions, I know that no one ever reads my blog, but if you see it, and if you like this awesome Japanese kitty and want to buy it, please, check if we already listed it for sale and use our contact form if we still did not.
Best regards, till the next time, my imaginary reader!

Lion's journey from medieval bestiary page to your home - new product by Yanka!

3/17/2022

{Written by Yanka's husband}
February was a busy month, and there were news that I should share with you but didn't. Several finished products, new jewelry pictures, etc., but you already know it if you saw our home page, 'cause whatever happens but the Home Page always gets its updates. The other way to receive news about Yanka's plans and new products is to subscribe. If you scroll all the way down on our Home Page you'll se the subscription form. Don't worry, we ain't gonna spam you, we simply don't have time for it. There is a monthly newsletter with all the highlights, that's it!
But what about the medieval lion? Sorry, I got distracted again, and here it is, hand-painted by Yanka on the lid of this small keepsake box.
The background is painted with shimmering gold acrylic paint, and the lion and flowers are bright and shiny. Medieval illuminations look rather pale and desaturated to us today, but I believe that they were as colorful and as impressive as this little lion on a keepsake box in their own time.
Picture
Just for reference! There are many images of this bestiary folio page on the web, and I chose the most clear and bright one to show you.
That's the original

That's Yanka's drawing (click to enlarge)

Have a nice day!
