Hello, Spring!

Wool Indian Silk Felted Art Nunofelting scarf-shawl

 The winter we have this year makes us feel nothing but bummed out… It’s OK if we have to run only short-distance errands around the neighborhood with the temperature around freezing point or slightly above – you don’t have to rake the snow with your feet and balance on a mini skating rink with the simultaneous attempts to gain a descent, spectacular and convenient position so that if you do take a fall you won’t break anything.

How to take care

My customers often ask me how to properly take care of felted items such as scarves, tippets, etc. And as a matter of fact I try to share my experience with them as it would be nice to use the purchased things as long as possible without them loosing their original looks.

Original Stained Glass. Interview with Alla Sharkova

Jerusalem Menorah - Stained Glass Gift for Hanukkah

How have you started working with glass?

I have been creating different things since I was very young. I learned to sew at 6, to knit and crochet at 8, made my own clothes, worked with wood, drew with ink and ballpoint pens, had a photo lab in my bathroom… but nothing stuck for a long time. Then I moved to the USA and for a while had to work and study a lot, so I would only draw a little.
