« Previous Entriessilk skirt
Friday, December 31st, 2010My finishing project Thursday was a silk skirt that´s been lying around for at least six years waiting for me to get a zipper in and hem it. Well, now it´s done. All hand-sewing today, to get it just perfect. I like to hand-sew every now and then. And in any case, it´s easier to [...]
snakeskin corset
Thursday, December 30th, 2010Wednesday´s project up for finishing was a rather exotic one: a water-snake skin corset! I ordered the skin about four years ago, and started making the corset then, and as with many other projects, I come to a busy period of work, it´s set aside, and I tend to forget as new and exciting projects [...]
Snow-activities
Thursday, December 30th, 2010#1 I´ve already done: been out skiing. #2 Last night we were invited outside over at the neighbors for grilling. Yes, you read right. Grilling in the snow. I strapped on my skies, skied the full 15 meters over to their house, unstrapped and got (relatively) cosy in the snow. They had fired up the [...]

Inspiration: Brian Wallace
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010I´ve told you about Brian Wallace before, but thought it was high time I made an inspiration-post on him. Originally from the States, but has lived in Haugesund for a coupe of decades already. He teaches painting, and that´s how I finally got to know him by attending one of his workshops. A lot of [...]
Technical problems
Monday, December 27th, 2010Due to some rather annoying technical problems I don´t understand, I have probably been pestering any of you out there with RSS-feed. I´ve been trying to update a post, that just refuses to take all the text with it. I am sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully I´ll figure it our somehow.
food for thought
Monday, December 27th, 2010http://www.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/693996/ Something to think about! I know it takes a bit of time, but it´s well worth it!
Booklace
Monday, December 27th, 2010…or book-necklace. I want this one to be special, so I´m bringing out the good stuff for this one! Here I´ve started on the cover. I´m using a petroleum-blue dyed water-snake skin. Fast forward a couple of days later, and the book is finished. The pages are made from handmade, grey paper. Adding a few special [...]
