Baubukas + Happy Diwali!

Baubukas is a team of talented artists from Vilnius, Lithuania. They create magical ceramics using needle-decorated engobe technique where a top layer of color is scratched to reveal a colour beneath. Each piece is carefully hand etched which makes every piece unique and highly detailed. These are some of my favorite brooches inspired by folk-lore, mythology and poetry. Each one is a piece of art in itself and the drawings on which the pieces are photographed are breath-taking. Some of these jewelry pieces are available on their recently opened Etsy store.

I am going to take tomorrow off to celebrate Diwali with my family. I will see you back here on Monday with bunch of new posts! Happy Diwali to all of you!

I came across this rare owl shaped milk glass jar on this auction website and instantly loved it. Have you guys seen anything like this before? Apparently, it's used for storing fruit jam.
