Wednesday, May 16th, 2012In the spirit of recycling instead of buying new: 2 necklaces, two pairs of earrings, beads and stones that have been lying around unused for a long time are now put together into one “brand new” necklace. Now maybe I´ll have to dig out my old gypsy-hippie tunics to match
pendants
Friday, May 11th, 2012A few small pendants made for upcoming birthdays The corals and the turquoise I got in Mexico, the red wooden bead is from China.
Pendant snake-skin booklet
Monday, April 16th, 2012I made a new couple (ok, 7-8) of miniature books. One with shiny, red snakeskin, and one with matte, dark blue salmon-skin, to sell in my Etsy-shop. So if you want one, now´s your chance! The inside of the skin, with glued down cardboard. I use acid-free book-binding glue. Each booklet has 22 pages, made [...]

Saturday, April 14th, 2012Ok, I have to share with you one more inspiration-post before I get back to my own work. These are new little treasures in my memory-art-mini-book-pendant-necklace. Some real goodies in there! First off is a man with a serious haircut by the one and only Tracy Moore! Then a sweet summer-girl by the one and [...]
Taxco
Friday, April 6th, 2012Today I´ve learned – that Taxco is the silver-capital of Mexico. A beautiful, little city with a strong celebration-tradition for the Holy week (the Easter-week) And I would´t be surprised if Taxco was Torbjørn Egner´s inspiration for “Kardemommeby” (the children´s book Cardemom city, which I will start working with the set-design on when I get [...]
brass & copper bracelet
Monday, March 19th, 2012The result of my late-Sunday-night creative project: A copper and brass metallic bracelet. With beads of metal, glass, pearl and mother-of-pearl. The big round bead is a raku-fired pottery-bead, with the most beautiful metallic shine in the texture.
steam-punk-ish necklace
Sunday, January 29th, 2012I made this little steam-punk-ish pendant a while ago. Minimizing a picture I made of my Grand-dad, copying it onto transparency film, and cutting it into shape. The pendant has two pieces of glass to protect the film. I combined it with a small enameled bead I made at Art & Soul (top left) and [...]
21 – pewter raven and nuts
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011I guess the big day is closing is closing in on us. Maybe I should do something about the remaining gifts…? Just yesterday this lovely pewter raven´s head arrived from ArtChix, and of course immediately inspired me to make this necklace. It´s combined with stones, shells and a couple of self-enameled beads from my Barbara [...]
16 – beads and films
Friday, December 16th, 2011This is me tidying up my workspace. It was almost kind of clear, when I all of a sudden just had to make something… Fix one of my favorite necklaces that was broken… (this one has real turquoises I bought when I was in China years and years ago, and some dangling things from my [...]
6- pearls and peas
Tuesday, December 6th, 2011You know, I´m probably doing this all wrong. I mean, showing all the Christmas-presents as I make them. Some of the receivers are probably reading my blog every now and then… I just can´t keep a secret, I guess. Not a creative one, anyway. So here is my latest gift. A 50s inspired necklace in [...]
