love what you do what you love

It's official!

Just emailed the course descriptions. I'm going to have a double workshop weekend! It will be after the summer, around september or october at Medborgarskolan, Kalmar. The first workshop will be about upcycle, clothing and creativity and the second one about playing with your food. I already tried out the concepts (in english) on Malta and it was a success.  Of course I'll let you know when it's time to sign up for the weekend! There are few things that are as rewarding as doing what you love and loving what you do. Bliss.

 Here's one of my own food art pieces (coffee, soysauce and tea) and the wonderful kids who got creative together at the previous events! 

Re:design

So I mentioned a workshop that I wanted to do in previous post and time goes fast. It was today. Here's the invitation:

Sun up, shoes off & rock on!

I'm proud to present the first creation of my own at etsy. Modelled by my twin sister Cecilia.

Deer & skinny Lady

Papier maché is seriously underrated! Fell in love with the technique a couple of years ago when me and my twin sister did masks for a film she's making. The lenses of an old pair of sunshades made splendid eyes. Painted the thing with a sponge and acrylics.The only real problem I'm having is connecting the horns (a pair of sticks painted in white). How do I do that? I've tried a few ways but I haven't found a long lasting solution. If anyone got any ideas it would make me very happy if you shared them with me!

This here is fine Miss Lush - a fragile lady who loves to wear hats. I actually made her as a hat stand for the fancy pirate hat project... which there will be more about later. She's also good for surprising people. One time my dad put her by the window so when I was looking in through it (as I always do when I come back home) I was for a second sure I was staring death in the face. AAAH!

Engraving on my mind!

The same day I was celebrating one week as a Växjö citizen they had their annual culture night (for me? Aww, you shouldn't have!) and so I went with my sister Alice and her boyfriend to see what was goin' down. Besides chocolate testing, a pyro/dance show, art exhibitions and live music we got to try out some engraving on glass at smålands museum. The machine was kind of like the ones tattoo artists would use.

Once one got the hang of it twas easy to get carried away. Maybe it's my new weapon of choice?

This is what I did...

And here's Alice, looking like a pro.

Bead yourself up

Don't be mean to yourself
