ArTBoX Christmas, Dec '16

Чети на български

It’s that time of the year again. Mulled wine, Christmas songs, decorations and art bazaars mark December as the most festive month of the year. On the second weekend of it, I visited a Christmas market, called ArTBoX where 27 Bulgarian artists participated in presenting their hand-made crafts and goods. 

One of the activities included in the program was creating different Christmas decorations, such as gingerbread houses, Christmas fortunes, as well as DYI for children and games with prizes. Now let me present to you some of the talented artists that took part of the venue. 

Tina’s handmade accessories are usually made of clay and resign. The final result is pretty Christmas decoration, earrings, necklaces and rings.

Diyana-Petya Delcheva designs handmade pieces of jewelry of glint-glass. The highlight of her art was lovely hand-carved Christmas decoration (on the photos above).

Rossika was another cool stall that was offering wooden accessories, wooden Christmas cards, rustic garlands and different ornaments made of cotton fabric.

Elegant accessories and jewelry from Preporuchano s lyubov (Препоръчано с любов).

Hand-painted tops, shirts, sneakers, shoes, eco bags, as well as jewelry of gemstones and crystals from Pamballa handmade goods.

A not-so-typical brand in the house was WooWhiskey. WooWhiskey is handmade oak cubes that turn your glass of whisky into a true delight. They give it a special oak flavour that one could hardly resist. The concept of this project is to make these cubes your personal accessories and to bring you joy from drinking the strong beverage.

Under the rainbow – hand-painted glass by Tsveti Tsonova. With her painting skills, Tsveti brings the old and useless jars into life again.

In the ArTBoX program, 2 foundations were included – Karin Dom and I can too.

Bistra and Nace from “The magic of Traveling” blog have visited 51 countries so far and recently launched a book. They shared with us stories from some of the places they’ve visited around Christmas. They showed us photos, videos and told us very interesting and funny facts about the customs and traditions around the world. The ArTBoX Christmas program made my Sunday a bit more interesting. Have you visited any Christmas markets already?
