Recently I’ve been debating with myself if I should post about positive experiences that I had with this or that during the week. On one hand, I don’t want anyone to think that I am trying to advertise a brand, product or a person, when I am not( if you’ve been following me for a…

I often get e-mails asking me how I woodburn and awhile back I came up with the idea to make a series of videos showing what my process of woodburning is. I am glad to say that I finally got to do it. I hope you don’t mind the mess in my studio. 🙂 If…

In Bulgaria there is a saying that when somebody is not going to be “rewarded” for his/her effort ( in monetary or other way), he/she would be given a pumpkin medal.
