Post Moscow
I’ve been back from Moscow for a couple of weeks now, resting up after a pretty intense trip. The Salon show was fantastic and the Moscow weather was lovely. Very summer like. I’ve had a very long summer this year, because I caught bits of hot weather here and there in my travels. I’m really looking forward to staying put for a few months and working on a brand new collection.
I wanted to thank all those who came to visit me at the exhibition. Special thanks goes to Dima and Katya-thanks for the wine and a pleasant river cruise, Sasha and Lena-thanks for the roses, Katya- thank you for bringing us Chad’s favorite chocolate truffles from St. Petersburg! Svetlana, thank you for organizing the show, there is just never enough beauty in the world. I hope to be able to attend again.
Hey, what is that? A doll hand zipper pull? 
While packing for this trip, I noticed that the zipper pull was broken on my favorite sweater, so I attached a bronze hand to it and now I feel like I’m shaking hands with my doll every time I zip. I think I might make some more.
Up Next: The map of my travels in China!

And I second the zipper love.

Shaking hands with your dolls, haha! That’s so humorous, and slightly tempting to do although I’ll stick to keeping mine as a necklace. Ha.
It must be a really interesting experience giving interviews, etc. I’m looking forward to seeing the ideas which are forming and bubbling in your head right now being materialized in the future =P

Sad but true, “there is just never enough beauty in the world”, or kindness. Thanks for all you contribute!

You’re a real knockout Marina, very beautiful!
The trip to Moscow sounds like it was lots of fun! I love the bronze zipper hand innovation. I treasure my silver ones. 
Your travels are very inspiring, thank you for sharing!

Well of course Marina is pretty, how do you suppose her dolls are so beautiful? Because she looks in the mirror while modeling their faces- it’s her technique! Heheheh.

you were missed! i am so happy to see you back, to see your smiling face. what a great idea about the zipper pull especially now that I am dressing for winter in North Carolina. my daughter likes to hold my doll hand when I wear my necklace and i do too. sometimes life can be tough and having a hand to hold can help us along.

The more trinkets the better. Perhaps later you might want to fashion some earrings, or charms for bracelets? … Just suggesting
Glad the major progress.can’t wait for my turn to order from you
