Since I had first begun thinking of crafting again, my mind has been swarming with ideas on directions this new venture will take, shooting off in every direction. So, in an attempt at collecting them together and making it into something bit more cohesive...

I had been trying to come up with a name to call it. Sometimes though, what you wanted has always been right in front of you. And so, after going through words, in many forms and combination not one of them bringing that inspired "Aha!" moment, I decided to settle with what I already have. The name that I had first started out with, which is my own ~ Riz Sedek. After a very long hiatus, more than half a year, this will be a continuation of sorts. And it feels right. Feels good.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet." - William Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet
Speaking of names, I had the idea of calling my creations by Old English female names. Ah my love for the historic times coming into play. This will be fun. :)

Beautiful castles. Mysterious ruins. Handsome chateaus. Enchanting cathedrals. Bewitching forests. This country is full of delightful wonders.
So why not have a photography session outside, with these magnificence in the background? It will be the perfect excuse for some nice excursions across the country. This will be fun, indeed. :)

Right now I am making preparations for the 'launch' (I'm not really sure how else to call it!). Sourcing and getting supplies, making a few prototype pieces and improving on my technique. I am also making room for a new craft table, so that I don't have to worry about the glue sticking to the mac! :)
I am targeting for this launch to be in early Fall. So that should give me enough time to make several designs to call it a collection. In the meantime, you will still be able to get your hands on some 'pre-launch' pieces that I will put up on the Etsy shop. Here's the first one:
I'm very very excited to get going. I'll write more in time to come how this is all turning out. :)
