Happy New Year!
The first week of 2025 has already flown by, and with it, we've celebrated some meaningful traditions. In Lithuania, January 6th marks Three Kings’ Day—a day that closes the Christmas season with blessings, processions, and heartfelt carols. This final celebration of the festive season leaves us reflecting on hope, gratitude, and new beginnings.
With the holidays behind us, it's time to turn our attention to another significant event approaching soon: the Chinese New Year, beginning on January 29th. This year is particularly special, as it ushers in the Year of the Green Wood Snake.
Why the Green Wood Snake?
In Chinese astrology, the Green Wood Snake represents wisdom, growth, and transformation. The element of wood, paired with the vibrant color green, symbolizes renewal and balance, while the snake embodies intuition, elegance, and adaptability. Together, these traits inspire personal growth and fresh beginnings, making 2025 a year filled with creative energy and possibilities.
Symbolically, the Green Snake is associated with patience, a calm yet sharp mind, and a connection to nature. Its smooth, flowing movements mirror the essence of adaptability and grace, encouraging us to embrace life’s changes with confidence and poise.
The Wooden Snake Collection
Inspired by this significant zodiac symbol, I’ve created the Wooden Snake Collection for tech accessories. This design blends cultural symbolism with modern elegance, featuring patterns in warm, earthy tones reminiscent of natural wood. The intricate ornamental details evoke the refined and mysterious nature of the snake, adding sophistication to everyday items like phone cases, MacBook covers, iPad cases, and AirPods cases.
The pattern itself holds a special meaning for me. It was created in December 2022 during one of my kaleidoscope experiments with photography. The flowing shapes reminded me of a green snake weaving its way through a forest floor, while the earthy tones reflected its natural environment. This connection between creativity and symbolism makes the collection even more personal and meaningful.
More to Come
This is just the beginning! Soon, I’ll be introducing variations of the pattern with green tones, symbolizing the vitality and harmony of the Green Snake. These nature-inspired hues honor the zodiac's energy and bring its spirit into your daily life. Keep an eye on the shop for updates: Wooden Snake Collection.

Looking Ahead
As we step into 2025, I’m already working on new designs for the upcoming spring season. Expect vibrant patterns inspired by butterflies, blooming flowers, and the colorful renewal of nature. Just like the Green Snake, these designs will embody growth, renewal, and creativity. Stay tuned for fresh creations that bring joy and energy to your daily life!
Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s embrace this year with creativity, balance, and inspiration! 🌿🐍
