Wednesday, May 8th, 2013I made this is a class with Susan Lenart Kazmer. Originally meant to be a big pendant for a necklace, it is a booklet, with pages to flip. In between are pictures of my grandfather, and his work-collegues at the factory where he was working. It´s a bit big for me to actually wear it [...]
A new necklace
Monday, May 6th, 2013My Sunday-fun-project was making this necklace. In the States, I managed to squeeze in a visit to Michael´s, where I found a couple of “beads” from Susan Lenart Kazmer. I really like her style, the maximalistic, overloaded steampunk, or maybe we can call it “junkpunk”. She uses all sorts of found object, and gives them [...]
recycled silk bracelet
Saturday, March 23rd, 2013I´m down with the flu, and it´s boooooring! Spending whole days doing nothing, wanting to be creative, with heeps that needs doing. Lacking the energy though, this is all I managed to do… a 5-minute bracelet make-over. Using a regular thin bangle, I wrapped it in recycled silk thread. A small drop of glue to [...]

I managed to put together 20 mini-books, and tonight I´ve started assembling them. I´m using big, enameled beads I made last fall at Art&Soul. As I started putting them together I couldn´t help myself, I [...]

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012A little late-nite arting resulted in this necklace made from sari silk, rayon ribbon, plastic, ICEresin and some metal beads. The middle part is see-through.
Inspiration: Sandy Martin
Friday, June 8th, 2012I met Sandy Martin at Artfest this year. She´s a colorful & wonderful jewelry-artist from Santa Fe, USA. An energy-explosion of a woman! I am so lucky, I just got two little miniature art girls from her. One of them will go in my little gallery-pendant-book. The other one I´ll put on my inspiration-board. Don´t [...]
recycled jewelry
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

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.
