I am very fond of pebbles. Sea ones, river ones, rounded or edgy, every little one with its own from and personality.
Recently I found something wonderful online – alphabet from pebbles.

ClotildeOlyff probably made hard work to collect all of these, but her efforts were worth while.
Her alphabet is nice and well-done, even if not the only try with this idea (here is another try that I found, only not so good).

Meanwhile these days I miss very much the sea. Suffering from the usual nostalgia, I will show off few of my pebbles’ photos.

Probably not so interesting from a typographical point of view.
But let’s say they are iconic.

I know, that my next sentence is a big cliche, but whatever, I mean it – Nature is a true magician!

That’s it. Even nowadays I just cannot go home from somewhere without at least a handful of pebbles…

(The inspiration for this guy came once while spotting some Sony commercial posters with rabbits.)

This flower is here only to add color to the post, and here you can also see a bunch of rabbits just waiting for the “Start!” signal!

Another one from the same series, made in February. Still not really finished, but I like it even now, without colors…

There were different opinions what kind of animal it should be, but it came to be a fox. His tail should be a head of a cobra, but I’ve change it a bit, because Michel was not very fond of it, didn’t like the symbol.

Greetings from the sea… and I had to say goodbye today, but this is something that I always do with heavy heart…

Maybe many people feel the same, but my fingers just cannot stay without doing something.

Whatever thing I spot, I always start to think that it could be turned into something else, usually some kind of toy (although sometimes it happens to be also something useful).

In the Sea garden in Bourgas there are some trees (we have them in Sofia as well), but unfortunately I never can remember their name. They have leaves a bit like the maple, thorny little ball-shaped fruits (which are not good to eat) and beautiful light rind.

The pieces of rind are tempting, they look to me like ready to use slices of veneer. I have used them before to make freakish greetings (it works also with pine-tree rind)q but now during the short vacation I did this funny little house:

It has owners, although are a bit carelessly. It will be obviously windy there during the winter, but they just don’t care.

They love each other and are happy together. They have He-dog and She-cat.

They decided to live in Bourgas, by the sea. There they feel happier and free.

And if sometimes they feel a little bored, they listen to the music of the wind, who is playing with these sea shells:

… it seems that the shells are telling stories about all the amazing things and great secrets, hidden in the Big water…

Hmm, this one is more “looking like a cat” than being a cat indeed.

He is very positive, always smiling to the world.

He is never in a bad mood, likes the sun and enjoys the rain, too.
Respects typography, but from few days is trying to read all these Love Stories. Especially likes the one with the cake and the sugar.:-)

He is looking for Love and new friends, so he is wearing this heart everywhere – as a friendly sign and to be sure that this time he won’t be misunderstood.

This guy was also my first try with white clay from the sort that dries without baking. But I still prefer to work with the old natural brown clay.

Don’t have time to be myself. How stupid this could be?
My Dad likes to tell me – “Kid, everything flows”. Well, he’s practically right. Only…I usually add with bitterness, that it is true, everything flows, even the whole life.

Do you remember those childish phrase – “Stop the Earth, I wanna descend!”?

I was looking for something bright to finish, but don’t feel very bright right now. I feel sulky.

Edit: I found what I was looking for – some posters, which I have printed and I want to frame and hang on. Animals teach us to be human. Yes…

I like them, very very much. Again Iceland. I feel so atracted.

More.

I am waking up again because of the radio. I’ve been falling asleep and getting awake like this for years, but the last few ones my faithful Nokia 6210 did the same job for me.

I have forgotten how pleasant is to open eyes because of the nice song playing at the moment and without even expect which one it will be. It’s just not the same to wake up with Winamp playlist on the computer, then you’ll know the songs and it won’t be a surprise.

This morning the first song playing was a very old and almost forgotten one, “All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You” – Heart.
As a girl I never listened more than the refrain of the song and I couldn’t recollect the video, but today I just checked Google for the lyrics and it’s quite obvious that the kid in me is still here, because it was impressed. I still love when a song has a story to tell me.

Enjoy this small return to the past

Christmas is wonderful to me this year.
I can take a good rest (without being in hurry for anywhere) and i can notice all my relatives.
I still didn’t greet anybody from my friends – not even on the phone or with text message or however – and we were two days without internet at home, so it was peace and quiet here.

But now we have internet again, so, for those of you, friends, who are occasionally passing by – greetings with this performance of one of the best and brightest people that i have the joy and honor to know — Enrico Trevisan:

Happy holidays, and don’t eat too much. (it could be worse than the hangover…)
