As I tune into creativity and inspiration with more dedication lately, I’ve found several creative initiatives that I admire. Some are artsy, some are business-y or culture orientated and in their own unique way they show me how people turn simple ideas and hobbies into projects, work, art, community gatherings or global initiatives. In this blog post, I share a couple of them with you, first some of the Cyprus-based ones, and then the international ones.
Jewellery for sensitive ears by Cypriot designers
My sensitivity to earrings had me searching for pieces that are purely made from gold, gold-plated or sterling silver. I have found some Cypriot jewellery designers that are worth checking out, especially now as you’re getting ready for your Christmas shopping. All of the shops I mention, I have purchased from and tried their earrings and they feel perfectly comfortable to even my sensitive ears. So, this festive season please consider supporting local shops and artists. To them, it means the world. Here we go!
A blooming afternoon
I’m always looking for something alternative to do and I love discovering new activities in Cyprus. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something fresh pops up. This felt like one of those moments. A series of flower workshops in Nicosia teaching different arrangement techniques. Exciting or what? During one of my Facebook scrolls looking for events for work, I came across this different kind of activity. The event’s cover photo caught my eye first. Colourful flowers spread out on a table and five brown-haired women creating bouquets. I love flowers and the idea of a series of workshops teaching different arrangement techniques sounded exciting!
