“Happy Earth Day to all Earthians! Staying kind to nature is no longer an option, it's our duty! With the rise of technology we tend to collect so much of old electronic devises and often we have no clue how to properly recycle them. Luckily there are organizations like ecoATM who will take care of recycling for you - all you need to do is to find a recycling kiosk in your area.”

Dinara Mirtalipova : Easter Eggs

For: Dinara Mirtalipova

Culture Trip just wrote a beautiful article about Dinara Mirtalipova's Easter eggs. 

Here's a quick snippet of the article

Culture Trip: When did you start painting eggs?

Dinara Mirtalipova: Painting eggs for Easter is a family tradition, started by my grandma Lilia. She celebrated Easter and baked Easter bread called kulich (кулич). As a child I loved to watch her doing it and I loved to help with dying eggs. After she passed away, I continued to decorate eggs for Easter year after year and now it’s become my tradition.

CT: Do particular places inspire your work?

DM: I know it sounds too obvious, but inspiration hides everywhere. I love taking nature walks with my daughter, I love listening to ethnic music, taking trips to museums or libraries, I love collecting fabric, ethnic dolls and coins. So it’s hard to name one destination, I think it depends on what you’re looking for.
