Moon Love, Interview

English below
Хочу сегодня познакомить вас с автором прекрасных украшений Moon Love, Яной, с которой мне очень повезло быть знакомой. Помните, я недавно показывала моего нового фаоврита по части украшений (освежить память можно вот тут) - эта цепь авторства Яны. Ещё раз спасибо за него!

1. Первым вопросом будет банальный, но, на мой взгляд, необходимый вопрос: как ты начала делать украшения? Какое было первым?

Декабря 2016.
Меня одолевало дикое желание сделать необычный подарок для моей доченьки и дополнить ее новогодний образ. Я решила, что это будет украшение для волос.
На тот момент, я уже видела в интернете фото подобных украшений и меня одолевал вопрос, как его сделать, где купить фурнитуру, а из какой проволоки делать, а как соединить шпильку с плетёным украшением???
Масса вопросов, но, как известно, если ничего не делать, то ничего и не будет, поэтому я решила: «буду делать».
Купила камешки, проволоку, шпильки, бисер и стала пробовать. Через призму опыта могу сказать, фурнитура была ужасная, но на тот момент! она была самой лучшей)
Так я сделала своё первое украшение и безмерно этим горжусь.


2. Как много времени ты тратишь на создание украшения? Как к тебе приходят идеи?

Всегда по-разному.
Иногда идеи 💡 приходят во время еды, сна, основной работы, при уборке дома, при просмотре картинок, приходят, как вспышка и разгораются, оставаясь у меня в памяти, пока я не найду нужные ингредиенты для воплощения этой идеи.
А иногда идеи приходят, когда в магазине я перебираю камешки фурнитуру и тогда нужные элементы я покупаю сразу.
Но бывает и так, что украшение я уже сделала, а оно мне не нравится, не нравится, как смотрится. И тогда я его оставляю и жду, когда придёт озарение, чтоб его переделать, так было и вот с этой цепью.
Первая картинка, это вариант, который мне не нравился. Вторая картинка, это во что я ее превратила.

Процесс создания украшений занимает тоже разное время.
Время изготовления (с учетом наличия всех элементов) занимает от одного дня до нескольких недель.
Например, гребешок 1 день

А корона, две недели


3. Я знаю, что очень любишь делать разные штуки руками. Почему украшения сейчас важнее интереснее, чем, скажем, тарелки? Как другие увлечения и работа влияют на создание украшений? Например, помогает ли кейтеринг (Янина основная работа), скажем, находить интересные сочетания цветов?

Да действительно, у меня много увлечений и я не отказываю себе в удовольствие делать тарелки из эпоксидный смолы, делать декоративные композиции из сухоцветов/живых цветов и тд.
Декорирование мероприятий(быть декоратором-флористом) является для меня мечтой и, чтоб воплотить свою мечту, я сейчас учусь на ивент-дизайнера. А создание украшений для меня это хобби, удовольствие придумать что-то интересноe и порадовать красотой ту самую девушку, для которой эта красота была создана. Есть ещё некий посыл в моих украшениях, я желаю, чтоб девушки дарили себе подарки без повода, покупали то, что им действительно нравиться, радовали себя, создавали свой интересный, прекрасный образ, любили себя просто так💓
Что касается тарелок и всех тех увлечений, которые были вытеснены из моей повседневной жизни.
Вытесняла я их не просто так, а потому что у меня нет возможности развивать это направление. Например: Для изготовления тарелок из смолы необходимо рабочее помещение (комната или съемное помещение) желательно проветриваемое, тк смогла имеет сильный запах, у меня нет такого помещение, поэтому я вытесняла эту увлеченность.
Кейтеринг является моей основной работой и это тоже своего рода творческий процесс, он наводит на определенные действия в сторону моих увлечений. Мое желание сталь декоратором-флористом, пришло ко мне, как раз через работу в кейтеринге.
Относительно украшений, тут кейтеринг, никак не повлиял.
Но если рассмотреть кейтеринг с точки зрения цветовых решений/сочетаний, то тут фантазия играет и приходят новые идеи сочетаний материалов и цветовой гаммы. 

4. Почему ты выбрала название Moon Love? почему Луна? 

Название родилось на работе, в обсуждении с коллегами моего блога украшений.
У меня не было названия бренда долгое время, но мне многие говорили/отмечали, что этот момент важен.
И в один из рабочих дней это название появилось «Moon love», оно наводит меня на что-то фантастическое, неизведанное (все знают, что такое Луна, но никто точно не знает, что именно Луна из себя представляет), любовь к чему-то прекрасному.


5. стандартный вопрос моего блога: Говорят, творческие люди в детстве тоже очень творческие и часто выражают это в каких-то детских шалостях. Например, однажды моя подруга-парикмахер за день подстригла «модно» все свои игрушки. Были ли у тебя что-то подобное?

Я не могу вспомнить что-то, что было именно шалостью. Но я помню, что в детстве не было преград, для создания чего-то, чего у тебя не хватает. Например: у меня не было дивана для кукол, но мне очень хотелось, чтоб он у меня был. Я насобирала коробок из под спичек, склеила их в форме дивана, обклеила их тканью и вуа-ля у меня есть диван для кукол.
 

ENG: Today I want you to meet a person I am proud to know, Yana, aspiring accessories maker with brand Moon Love. Do you remember chain I wear all time, my new favorite accessory (no problem if not, here is dedicated post)? Yana is the person who made it real. Today I am making an interview with her.

1.The first question is probably the most boring one but still important. How did you start making accessories? which one was the first?

December 2016.
I have a very avid desire to make a creative and unexpected gift for my daughter to add to her New Year outfit. (* To understand how Russia celebrates New Year simply change it for Christmas and there you have it). I decided it has to be something to do with her hair.
By that time I have already seen similar hair accessories in the Internet but I didn't know how to make it, where to buy the components, how to connect the parts. I had millions of questions but as we all well know of if you do nothing, nothing happens. That is why I decided to "make it happen".

I bought stones, thrills, beads and started trying. Now I can say the components were horrible but at the time it was the best I could get. That is how I made my first accessory and it makes me feel proud.

2. How much time do you need to create a piece? How do get the inspiration?

It is always unique.
Sometimes I get ideas during my sleep, lunch, main job, doing laundry. while looking through images. The idea comes, flashes like a lighting and stay in my memory until I find means to make it real.
Sometimes I get the idea when I am in the shop, browsing through the wires. In that case I buy everything I need right away.
But sometimes it happens so that I make an accessory and I don't like what I made. In that case I leave it be and wait until I get my ''flash' and realize what is needed to be done about it. That is exactly what happened with the chain below. The first image is the original version I felt 'wrong' and second is the final result.

Overall the process takes different time as well. It varies (if we have all the components at hand) from one day to several weeks.
For example the comb takes one day and crown two weeks.

 

3. Я знаю, что очень любишь делать разные штуки руками. Почему украшения сейчас важнее интереснее, чем, скажем, тарелки? Как другие увлечения и работа влияют на создание украшений? Например, помогает ли кейтеринг, скажем, находить интересные сочетания цветов?
3 I know you love hand crafting. Why accessories are main right now. why is it a priority and not plates for example? How do your other hobbies and work affect your accessory making? For example, does catering (Yana's day job) help you, for example, finding interesting color combinations? 
 
Yes indeed, I have quite a number of hobbies and curiosities, I don't deny myself a pleasure of making plate from epoxy resin, dried or fresh flower compositions and other. My dream is to become a florist-decorator for events and to make it real I study for event design. Accessory making is a major hobby of mine, a joy of creating something interesting and giving away the pleasure of beauty to the person, most likely a lady to whom this beauty was made. There is an undertone in my accessories, I want people to me gifts for themselves with no reason, buy just for themselves, love themselves, treat themselves, creating a unique beautiful look and love themselves for that and just because.
As for plates and other hobbies I no longer go for in daily life. I did push them away because I couldn't evolve with it and in it. For example, to make epoxy resin plate you need a special place to work (a room or a rented location), with good ventilation because epoxy resin has a very strong and distinctive scent. I don't have such a location so I decided to give it up.
Catering is my main, day job and it is creative in a way as well. It helps me to nourish my interests, for example my dream job of florist-decorator came from it. As for accessories I don't really see the connection.


4. Why did you chose this particular brand name, Moon Love? Why Moon?

This naming came from my workplace, while discussing my accessory blog with colleagues.
I didn't have a proper name for a long time and many people addressed that issue, noticing how important naming is.
And during one of these days there came a name 'Moon Love'. I have a feeling of something unknown, fantasy (everybody knows what Moon is but nobody actually felt Moon for real), it's love for something beautiful
 
5. Standrt question from my blog. People way, most of the creative adults have been not less creative kids and often it turned out to be poured in life in unexpected way. For example, my hairdresser friend spent a day making a new 'stylish' hair cuts to all of her dolls and toys. Did you do something like that as a child?

I can't really think of something that was unpleasant and destructive but I do remember I didn't have any limits for creativity. I didn't have a sofa of something like that for my dolls but I wanted one badly. I didn't think twice and gathered boxes for matches, glued them together in a shape of a sofa and glues some material over it. And there you have it: a sofa for my dolls!


Have a nice day,
Lyosha

  18. Beautiful pieces. I absolutely LOVE the simplicity of the comb. I had a hair clip that I purchased which looks similar to this (different colours/set up, but a similar style) and I LOVE wearing it for weddings and fancier events. There's something about including it with my outfit that always gives me that extra boost of confidence.

Explore Starcon

I'm going to brake up vacation post series to share the Starcon experience. A week ago I was sitting on the same spot and getting ready to go. We've been to lovely Saint  Petersburgh. We managed to have a charming walk in the  evening even right after the con. Starcon was all about sci-fi and we loved it so much. We even wore the Jedi costumes (wait for them in the end of post). Max, my lovely husband, sewed them for only 3 days (that's why the design is so simple). and I also got 2d place in Star Wars Miniatures board game tournament took place there. I'm so happy! As for outfit - I've chosen a super comfy outfit with a very cool pants! I bought them on ebay and they are more than 20 year old pants (I guess soon they could buy booze on their own but I doubt I need it). I love them for their shape - keeping me cool during hot and warm when needed. Oh, and can I also call it my pijama pants trend pants? or not? What I also wanted to mention you are my fab set jewel

Say 'yes' to a dress with Yesbabyonline

When you start on inspiration posts it hard to spot. At least for me. I feel like I am half awake in my bed, feeling super lazy and have to strict plans for the morning so I am hitting the 'snooze' button. I almost hear myself saying 'five more minutes' and I do mean five more minutes but I fail and hit 'show me more' button. Inspiration from online shops devour me. Yes it is budget friendly (you don't need to buy things even though you do want to) but it is not safe for your time. I can't really say I am against it, it is a good to relax and is also useful if you need to wait for your partner to finish some stuff to do. This evening it works especially well because I am waiting for my husband to finish the page. I am more or less limited by time so my online inspiration will be most pleasing. As always I wanted to set up a topic to make it even better. My topic for today is long formal dresses . Out of tons of online shop I picked the best for me toda

МКММ + Couture Fashion Show

So! I am so very excited! I have visited my first real actual fashion show ever since March and I couldn’t ever be happier. It’s just wow! This time I visited MKMM final shows merged with Couture Fashion Show later that night. I had a chance to see many wonderful shows by young and talented designers and enjoyed it a lot. Creativity everywhere. Something is purely catwalk (and I totally don’t mind it at all), something that is very easy to imagine rushing the streets, something very creative and futuristic and making a statement with so much in between. Overall in love. I don’t think I really can be picky because after all those digital shows real made a huge impression on me. It almost as if I am visiting my first ever fashion show but better because I know what to expect. I think you are not reading this and already scrolled past this point and enjoy the contestants. And don’t blame you at all.  RU: Прекрасные новости! Мой первый настоящий офлайн показ с марта месяца. И он оказася пр
