Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Above is the latest in the painted Austevoll seahouse-series. Acrylcs on canvas and wood, 20x20cm. I´m thinking it´s a very big and light space in the middle here, and I really want to do something with it, just not sure what… Maybe it just needs more warmth? Actually I think I´m not loving it, because [...]
another doily
Monday, August 30th, 2010Inspired by this image I found here: I made my own version: Using a hand-crochet doily, adding a layer of metallic chiffon, and sewing it down on a pale moss-colored ribbon that ties in the back. And then adding a rather beautiful broach from Accessorize. And talking of chockers/neck-warmers (in lack of a better name), [...]
Swinging 50s
Sunday, August 29th, 2010My sister came over to get some help with making a pattern for a dress, and while she was here, she helped me in fitting a couple of vintage dresses I got from Fretex (Salvation Army charity shop). It´s always a bit tricky fitting on yourself, so I was happy for the help! Both are [...]
A bird-house
Saturday, August 28th, 2010#8 on my list clearly states that I want to build a bird-house. However, I might cheat on this one, and re-decorate a bird-house I from my sister´s shop. Above is the original. And below is the first layers of color. It´ll be my weekend-project. I want to add some reds and pinks, maybe flowers [...]

Christmas in summer
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010It certainly felt like Christmas, and I was getting all the gifts! It is so exciting to spend time with Marianne, my glass-making friend. She teaches me the coolest stuff! What do you get when you add glass… glass-beads… and a flaming blow-torch? You get beautiful beads, of course! Well, I think they are anyway! [...]
Crochet scarf
Monday, August 23rd, 2010I´ve understood that there has been some problems seeing all the pictures from my latest ship, Skandi Skolten. Explorer just didn´t want to show them, and using Safri myself, I wasn´t aware of it. I´ve learned a few new internet-things today, and hopefully the problem should be solved. Please let me know in the future [...]
The knitting ferry
Saturday, August 21st, 2010You don´t always need to go far to experience exotic things I´ve lived most of my life on my little island, and until 2001 we needed to take a ferry to get to the mainland. After that we got a bridge and the world´s longest underwater tunnel (until the record was broken half a year [...]
Freestyle geisha-girl
Friday, August 20th, 2010One more freestyle girly-girl. This one was a gift for a friend, who is really into Chinese opera There are another couple in my Etsy-store.
