Decoration. Decorated Vases. Handmade.

"What dictates beauty?". Beauty is what dictates time and people living in it ...

"This is my workshop here," Anna said, leading me to one of the rooms. It seems to me that I rather got into a certain exhibition hall. On the shelves - dozens, if not hundreds, of different bottles, vases, glasses, glasses ... The most different forms. And most importantly, each is decorated in such a way that a simple piece of kitchen-house utensils has become a real work of art, an original piece of furniture .

What Anna does is called decorating. Decorated vases , and other vessels made of glass and ceramics, handmade, are undoubtedly the most charming accessories that give the interior design of the house a special originality . Decoration of vases and other interior items - the last two years her main job, Anna - an individual entrepreneur. And it all began twenty years ago, before the wedding.

"I decided to decorate the glasses," Anna says. - They were unpretentious, and I'm bored ... To make it more beautiful, I wrapped every linen thread.

Then the decoration gradually turned into a hobby. A birthday was approaching - and Anna was picking up a linen thread or braid, or even twine, and making out some other capacity. True, she herself does not use the word "capacity", she often calls the source material a "plane".

- All the things I did as a gift. It was very convenient. First, it was very original. And people liked it. After all, besides the fact that it was a handmade, each vase was still exclusive, unique, I could not make two identical vases.

Exclusivity to the decorated vases is added and the efforts of friends. Someone liked to feel involved in the process of magic, someone is happy to give a second life to the things they like. They began to bring who the cans of bottles, and who - fit as a hardware torn beads, a pair of lost earrings, or even just beautiful buttons.

Showing her workshop, Anna laughs - I, she says, like forty. For example, someone brought open, either in the basement, or in the attic of the ancient, apparently, before last century bottle. In combination with a suspension for domestic plants, glass rarities with the help of threads, twine, coffee beans became part of the panel, which brings something pirate-romantic. And a bottle of wine "Eva" brought by someone from a foreign trip (attention, of course, attracted the original form of the bottle, made in the form of a girl's figure) eventually turned into a beautiful stranger.

Most often, Anna admits, taking up work, she does not even know what exactly will happen in the final result. Thread, as the skilled worker says, dictates that
It turned out beautifully. Sometimes it does not work at all what I would like. For example, once, decorating a vase, Anna planned to decorate her with applique
Cat. But, when I finished the work, I attached the picture and I understood - not that. As a result, the vase was decorated with several white butterflies, why the product became easy, almost
Air. And one day, performing someone's order, I caught myself singing a melody, listened, and this is the song "Russian Field". Till now it is surprised:
I never sang that song, but suddenly ... Under this song, in the end, a whole series of crafts, more than twenty items, was born.

"And it happens that you will do the work - and it's a pity to give it later," I could not resist the question. - After all, they, probably, to you as children?

- Do you know why people do good? All because of selfishness. Because - like to do good, - Anna joked. And then, after a moment's thought, she added:

- Actually, I once made one vase, well, I liked it very much. I think I will be strangled by a toad (smiles). I went, bought a similar vase, designed it the same way, already for myself. Then, however, much later, and this second gave someone. What can you do, children, too, once you let go ...

"Egoist" gives people the beauty of their creations and immediately insists on using this beauty. Anna believes that you can not put handicrafts somewhere behind the glass and just look at them. Vases should be flowers, in jars - tea, herbs, spices. All decorated vases can and should be used. And how I would not like to avoid pathos - sorry, just does not work. Because, leaving the magic workshop, I remembered the words "beauty will save the world". And he thought: I must save. After all, creating their masterpieces, Anna invests in them the warmth of her soul, optimism, and just a good mood. And I remembered that somewhere in my locker was a bottle of cognac, a very original form ...
