I was reading book with my toddler about feelings and how we can assign colors to feelings. He then said: "I'm feeling happy. It's gray." I will never see gray the same way again. In that moment it changed for me forever. #grey #gray

Talking about #blue. Have you seen the Madame Desiderium? silticrafts.etsy.com #DollMaker #StopMotion #ArtDolls

If your hands are dirty, paint them. Nobody will see the dirt. - wisdom from the 4yo. It works. #ToddlerLogic #blue #paint

The stupidest thing about my sleep paralysis is that my eyes remain closed and I don't get to hallucinate monsters. I can't breathe when that happens and it's scary. If I have to go through this anyways, I would love to see a creature on my chest, a damn ghost. I guess you can't have it all.

Let's assume the old one got deconstructed and now you've got a new wood fired stove in the heart of your home. Folklore says gnomes use woodfired stoves to sleep in and move through them. How would you honour/invite them? #folklore #mythology #WitchSky #PaganSky #hearth #gnomes #FireSpirit

I lately see many witchy girlies online telling they are "suddenly called to Jesus". It's spreading. Is that American Christian propaganda ar work or it's been something always in them and they now are feeling brave enough to express it? What is this? What's going on? #WitchSky #OccultSky #PaganSky

Let's assume you are getting ready to make pickles for winter season. What's on your playlist? 🤔 #music #playlist #pickles

If you didn't get a chance many moons ago, here is another chance. The tiny witches of 4 elements have returned. silticrafts.etsy.com #EarthAirFireWater #WitchSky #MagicalBazaar #witches

I'm working on a small collection of wall plaques. Moon Garden. Maybe 'Night With the Fae'? I'm still looking for the title that would suit them all together and each one separately. Any ideas? Any thoughts, feelings or associations looking at these? #MoonGarden #PlantArt #ArtSky #WitchSky #wip

Also, I just met this aetheric creature and, omg, it's White Plume Moth and the caterpillars overwinter and feed on bindweed! My perspective on bindweed in my garden has been changed forever. #moth #WhiteMoth #bindweed #WitchSky #spooky #beauty #permaculturegarden #puremagic #permaculture

My husband has the biggest smudge stick in town. The only way to escape the hungry mosquitoes we have exceptional amounts of this year. It's been raining since mid-May. #smudge #smudgestick #smoke #mosquitoes #odi #laukos #laukudzīve #countrysidelife

Peace and beauty in chaos. In picture. IRL it feels more like chaos than anything else. And it is. I couldn't create such setup even if I wanted to. #stilllife #bloomscrolling #gardenflowers #flowers #peaceandbeauty #kitchen #countrysidelife #irl #kitchentable

Ants farmimg aphids. Look it up. Or maybe don't. They sedate them, eat their wings & take care of all their needs, even carry them from plant to plant, so they don't have to move. It's natural, and it rises multiple conflicts in me at once. #natural #ants #farming #aphids #justnature

I'm just a stupid gardener who likes to learn from plants. And I might draw wrong conclusions sometimes, but this queer flower asked me to pass the message right now. #BottleGourd #lagenaria #MaleFemale #flowers #JustNature #BloomScrolling #PrideMonth🌈 #NaturalQueer #queer

If you still haven't, check my Etsy shop. I had gone away from Etsy for 3 years, and I'm back since February. If you need a Kitchen Witch, altar doll or a companion in a shape of celebration of the witch archetype, I will be glad to serve you. This is my shop: silticrafts.etsy.com #MagicalBazaar

Post-Solstice afternoon bottle gourd tea on a lazy day. What's in your tea cup? #solstice #bottlegourd #tea #teatime #afternoontea

I managed to finish the Medicine Woman. Perfect guardian for a spice rack, medicine chest, tea shelf, sacred space. www.etsy.com/listing/4323... #MagicalBazaar #WitchSky #witch #healer #MedicineWoman #KitchenWitch

A glimpse into last year's celebration in my home. I'm getting ready for this year's gathering (on 23rd, but starting from tomorrow) 😊. Happy Solstice, beautiful souls! May your celebrations are full of joy! #SummerSolstice #jāņi #litha #PaganSky #WitchSky #bonfires

Medusa. Gorgon from Greek mythology with living snakes instead of hair. Anyone who looked upon her was turned to stone. Athena used her head as a weapon & symbol of protection. Nobody will dare to touch your pins. www.etsy.com/listing/4322... #greekmythology #medusa #hideous #WitchSky #MagicalBazaar

To be honest, selling dolls in such messed up times feels wrong. I couldn't afford to buy my dolls too. On the other hand, weird dolls perfectly suit these messed up times.

Not very originial, but a valid reminder: life is a struggle, don't waste your time trying to convince yourself it's not, yes, it is. Accept the struggle & live deliciously anyways. Stay as weird as you are. Nobody has to understand you. Be kind and helpful anyways. #reminder #self #goodmorning

To be honest, her choice of herbs in her medicine jars surprised me a bit. I expected sage, maybe nettle, cinnamon, or some flowers. She chose dried lovage leaves and fenugreek seeds. I will sit with that for a moment. #WorkInProgress #DollMaker #DollInProgress #ArtSky #WitchSky #symbolic #esoteric

I should be harvesting herbs. But we barely get a dry day here. It keeps raining. My heart is heavy lately - like the soggy soil. So, I'm sitting at the craft table with a herbalist, a medicine woman, a witch... Hoping for a relief. #WorkInProgress #witch #herbalist #MedicineWoman #DollMaker

I don't think bats belong only to Halloween. They symbolize swiftness, awareness to the surroundings, ability to perceive the unseen, another perspective and so much more. www.etsy.com/listing/4322... #bats #MagicalBazaar #CountryGoth #BatMobile #honeysuckle #symbolism #nocturnal #weird #WitchSky

Who has the cutest bottle gourd basket hanging on her shoulder? 😏 Very comfortable for rose petals. Can't wait to master this craft and skill to offer you something like this. My hopes are high. I've planted plenty of bottle gourds where nobody really grows them.

Reminder to myself: Breathe slowly and deeply, Kristine, herb harvesting season is in full bloom. #summersolstice #forager #herbgrower #herblover #thissradon #happyfriday13th

My archive of the last 6 years. 600+ dolls. Made at home in Latvia, now most of them living in the USA, UK and Canada. 100+ in one private collection in Germany - that's more than I've ever had in my home at once. Still learning. #ArtSky #DollMaker #DollArtist #dolls #WitchSky #creativejourney

Peppermint + chamomile + thyme afternoon tea with a view. The next heavenly aroma that will fill the air - honeysuckle. Apart from that, with just short breaks, it's been raining here for a month already. I find joy in flowers and their scents. #honeysuckle #teawithaview #inmygarden #afternoontea

She is the one who during the shortest night of the year -Summer Solstice- takes the Sun down, so the days wouldn't get even longer, so the balance between the light and the darkness could be restored. www.etsy.com/listing/4318... #goddess #ragana #summersolstice #paganart #witchsky #wheeloftheyear

The gracious potato flower. #potato #bloomscrolling

I wonder... how are these pumpkins still holding on? I know I'm still holding on to them because they're damn pretty. #pumpkins #CoffeeWithAView

Finally I'm sitting at my craft table for my 2nd conversation ever with this ancient Baltic goddess. She had tentacle-like, moving body on the 1st conversation. Now she stands on the ground with a straight backbone in the Midsummer's sun. #workinprogress #artsky #witchsky #pagansky #goddessart #doll

Midday coffee with a garden view. Can't wait for the beauty July will bring in here. It's always the sweetest meeting in my garden. #zone4garden #permaculture #InMyGarden #Sunday #CoffeeWithAView

Morning coffee. After a long pause without this magical brew, I've been running on coffee this spring, I could say even flying. Damn, I did a lot. And I think coffee has a lot to do with it... #MorningCoffee #CoffeeWithAView

Can you read this message? I'm curious what sense you make out of it? I find this a beautiful language of symbols and associations, but I'm far from understanding it. #runes #WitchSky #pagansky

The season of dirty garden pants, big boots and gloves is over. It's 'as pretty as one can be feeding the mosquito babes by the fire' season. It's Solstice soon. Time to calm down and soak up the sun. #GardenTalk #CountrysideLife #ByTheFire #GardenPants #PaganSky #WitchSky #ThisSeason #Solstice

One of the most beautiful aromas around here in this season. Charming. Alluring. Strong. Magical. Rich. Amazing tea and bath herb. #rose #whiterose #witchsky #pagansky #rosepetals #scent #bloomscrolling #heavenly #foraging #inmygarden

Blooming bush vetch, ants and birds - idillic evening broke between the neverending list of daily works at the countryside. #CountrysideLife #meadow #LifeInTheCountryside #latgale #green #justnature #evening #ants #natureatbest

It came home! 😊 Thanks to a my tall brother-in-law. (I'm 1.58m, almost everyone around is tall.) #ChickenOfTheWoods #mushroom #WildFood #ForagedFood #dinner #foodsky #sērapiepe #ForestFinds #forager #goodfood

If you hit a puffball mushroom in a forest clearing at sunset, you might meet forest folk and fairies. Just saying. Find my weird, folklore and nature inspired dolls here: www.etsy.com/shop/SiltiCr... #ForestFolk #Fae #sunset #MagicalBazaar #WitchSky #folklore #dolls #ArtDolls #DollMaker #ArtSky

Another treasure spotted in the woods with no chance for me to get to it. The mighty chaga high up there in the birch tree. I will just keep walking there and greeting it again & again. #birch #chaga #mushrooms #ForestWalk #InTheWoods #NaturesTreasures #medicinal #LatvianWoods #Latvia #greenwoods

I've been harvesting from this tree for years. This year I'm too short. The chicken of the woods has jumped higher up 😭. Still pretty, although I can't get it. #chickenofthewoods #sērapiepe #polypore #foraging #foragersky #forager #inthewoods #mushrooms #edible #wildfood

His name is Gobo. One of my first big dolls. A woman bought it from me and gifted it to me, so I could keep him. From the archive. ⭐️ The journey of a doll maker is quite a weird path & a truly magical one. Shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/SiltiCr... #doll #DollMaker #StopMotion #dolls #artdolls #artsky

The first female flower! 😍 But there is no male blooming this time... Each flower is blooming just for a night (opening on evening and gone by midday the next day). That's quite a short window for pollitation. #bottlegourd #lagenaria #birdhousegourd #inmygarden #bloomscrolling #femaleflower

It's been raining for weeks here. But the first summer of my rock gaden has begun quite successfully. #gardensky #rockgarden #rocks #stones #zone4garden #inmygardentoday #gardenbed #slope

The biggest one reaching out to the smaller one and holding together strongly to climb up - together. It's natural. I hope people can remember they are a part of nature and act accordingly. Learn from the bottle gourd. #lagenaria #bottlegourd #itsnatural #holdtogether #witchsky #gardensky #plantsky

The first one of 2025 in my greenhouse. 🥰 Early bird. No chance of a bottle gourd from this one, it's a male and there is no female flower blooming yet, but still very heart-warming. #white #bloomscrolling #bottlegourd #gourdflower #whiteflower #joyoftheday
