New project – new blog!

So… If you were wondering if I stopped creating things all together I’ll tell you how the story goes…
   The thing is, I started to create so much that I just didn’t have time to keep up the blog! XD No, really!!! So if you want to keep up with what I’m doing – just keep track of my deviantART galleries! ;P

I have started a new and even more specific blog though! And this is a project that will have an end to it so I hope it’ll be easier to keep that one updated! XD
   I’m making a whole 18th century outfit!

I created this blog simply to document the process of my making a whole 18th century outfit – complete with stays, pocket hoops, petticoat, stomacher and stuff. I have the ambition to do at least 80-90% by hand and in as time typical materials as possible.
   I might also feuture tips, tricks, how-to’s and other related things I’ve found in my search for inspiration.

Please have a look at the project blog here:

It’s a video of the Swedish site Bilddagboken’s (The Picture Diary) hottest girls, hehe ;P And YouTube managed to capture my boobs in the preview aswell, haha! XD

new designs

I’ve been working on som even newer designs these past few days and yesterday I posted a few photos on dA. And since then I’ve made even more new designs, gotten an order for a custom-choker, an order for a tattoo design, a probable order for a tattoo design and a probable query for a homepage banner.
   Anyways – here’s some of my new jewellry designs:

Sunset at Evening Beach

Grand Maille

Crop and Butterflies

I feel I should say something about the “Sunset at Evening Beach” necklace. It’s kind of a re-make of an older design – Candy wrapped neck. I was never totally pleased with it, but with time comes inspiration and now I think it’s done!
   When I was finished I realized that it remined me of a beach with sand, rocks and candywrappers, and the colors reminded me of a sunset. And I guess the drop can represent the ocean. Hence the name…
   It’s kind of an artwork more than a wearable necklace though, hehe. It’s up for sale people, so if you like it – please do not hesitate to ask me about the pissibilities of buying it, I haven’t set a price yet, so… Hehe…

I’m working my ass off with the upcoming homepage for my jewellry, but I’ve got so much stuff and there’s so much to have in mind – I hope it will be up in the beginning of June though! I’ll keep you updated!

last.fm

I’ve been scrobbling last.fm for a few days now an I thought, since there’s a formidable widget to put in blogs and stuff, that I should put one up here. I thought it might be interesting to see what I listen to when I create So I designed one of my own to match the design of this blog.
You can find it at a separate blog page here – my last.fm blog page.
Hope y’all like it!

jewellry explosion

I still haven’t gotten a job for the summer! *pull hair* So to be on the safe side i started taking up my jewellry making after a few months of draught on that front – to have a backup for an income during the summer. I don’t expect to be able to make a living on it, but I have money saved up so the money I might get by selling jewelly are just so I can feel totally safe, hehe…
   Anywho – I’ve been submitting some newer and older designs in my jewellry gallery on dA. These pictures below are two of my new designs.

Fleur

Box plus pink

Please do check out my jewellry gallery @ deviantART – AIM Accessoir Design.
(I can ship internationally if there is an interest. )
   I’ll be making a whole lot of jewellry this summer and I still have super new designs I haven’t photographed yet. So check back soon for new stuff!

welcome magnolia welcome spring

Okay, the magnolia blossoms have bloomed over long time ago, but I still love them!
   This I made today when I came home from a window-shopping-spree with a good friend. We had been browsing interior design stores and were talking about how we would decorate different rooms – we discovered that we both wanted a dressing room in a theme with dark wood and brown and pink colors. I have allways wanted a wallpaper with huge magnolias and maybe details with cherry blossoms.
   So when I came home I got the inspiration to make something with magnolias, hehe… ^-^

Whaddaya think?

lego art bonanza

I LOVE pixel art and I LOVE Lego and today I came upon a site with the perfect merge of the two! Brickworkz.com is where we find Brian Korte’s absolutely stunning Lego art. Besides browsing the gallery you can actually order your own images err… Lego-ified (?) XD

Here’s a beautiful piece I could just take home to have for myself!

And here’s Yoda! ^-^

end-of-semester-stress

In Swedish semester means holiday/vacation and in English it’s a schoolterm. It’s the English meaning I’m referring to here. I’m looking forward to haveing a little bit of vacation soon. School is crazy at the end of every term – and that’s why I haven’t been writing for a while. I have been creating though! ;P
   As I mentioned before it’s been a month full of celebrations and I have one more home made card to show you!

This is the birthday card I made for a little guy called Sebastian who turned 1 year in the beginning of May.
It plainly says “1 year”.

This is not all I’ve been doing though! I haven’t had time to to as much as I have wanted. But I have managed to make the four last images for the ceramic project with Ulrika. *Yay* I have also managed to promise a friend to attend a LARP night this summer and make the clothes needed for him – as I at the same time got the inspiration for a new outfit for myself (I already had a great few). I thought it best to start right away with my own outfit since it would probably take much longer – since it’s a kind of corset I’m making… XD

This is a pattern for a Elizabethan corset that I’m modifying to look more Rococo/Baroque. I got the basic pattern at a most formidable site called Elizabethan Costuming Page. I have made a corset almost like the one I’m making now loooong time ago, and it looks something like this:

Gosh, that is an old photograph of me, hehe ^^;
   I’ve also made some sketches, taken some photos, made some jewellry and finishes some unfinishes stuff. More on that later during the day! Check back in!

gift times

GAAAAH! I wrote a whole post and then something happend when I was saving it and it disappeared (not – it’s not in my drafts!)
Anyways – I was talking about that I’ve been making some gift cards and stuff. Since it’s spring there’s a lot of birthdays and baptisms (in Sweden the norm is having your infant baptised). The last month has been a really dry period for me when it comes to money, haha ^^;
   Aaanyways – I promised you some pics of what I’ve made and here they come!

This first photo is a birthday card I made for a friend. I tried to match the colors with the gift and what colors I associate with her.
It says: “Congratulations Angelica 26 years”

This second and third photo is of a baptism gift for a little guy called Sixten. I tried to make it look gender neutral, not because I’m a constructivist (I don’t know what I am) – but because I didn’t know how the parents felt in the matter. In the reception everything was blue though, hehe.

5 photos – check

Yesterday I managed to finish 5 images for Ulrika to use in the ceramic project! *yay* And today I got paid for them! *more yay*
   I took loads and loads of photos which means that there’s loads and loads minus 5 photos left over, hehe. I chose to give you a preview! Which actually doesn’t really count as a preview cuz it’s not even close to what the 5 chosen ones look like – it’s just me fooling around, hehe… XD It’s sooo not me – but it’s fun fooling around, haha!

Hehe, please excuse my wierdness! XD
