::: Guilty pleasures :::

A young Stellan Skarsgård in the Swedish sin movie "Anita: Swedish Nymphet" from 1973. It was entertaining, but quite aged. I enjoyed Stellan the most.

:::: Emergency business cards ::::

Turned out better than expected!

::: Tradera igen! :::

Jag säljer lite av mina smyckesdelar på Tradera just nu, HÄR finns de auktioner som är aktiva just nu (kommer fyllas på mer under veckan). En massa unika berlocker som du blir väldigt ensam om! Jag har använt dem till smycken som sålts hos t ex Tjallamalla och Mint & Vintage tidigare.

::: Project Runway Australia :::

Just finished watching the second season of Project Runway Australia and was so impressed by some of the designers, especially the winner who I cant wait to see more from, and put together this collage. It was much more interesting than the last season of the American version for sure, less bitchiness and many more edgy avantgarde pieces that I have a soft spot for.

::: Cut, sew, glue :::

Some projects I´ve started on.

::: Peach dream :::

Christina Hendricks looked so gorgeous at this year´s Golden Globes: such a perfectly cut dress for her figure (Christian Siriano, yay!), and the peach really accentuates her lovely red hair and milky skin tone. A perfectly packaged f*** you to the harsh Hollywood ideal! I´ve been watching the last season of Mad Men the past week and dreamt of parading around looking as impeccable as she does in every episode, with a perfect oneliner for every chauvinist remark. In reality I´d be one of the crybabies in the bathroom, it was/is to much of a mean world.

::: Best friends forever :::

Finally realised an idea I had for a long time, an ode to my childhood bestie necklaces but with a more vintage look. More info here.

::: Portraiture ::::

I recently made some pendants with two of my favourite stylish ladies, Dita von Teese and Eva Green. Still need some tweaking but it´s a vast improvement from my earlier handpainted pendants - can´t believe I actually had the patience for those. Eva´s first leading role (finally!) in Cracks is something I look forward to this Spring. It´s an English drama set in a boarding school in the 1930´s and looks beautiful and interesting:

::: Karl Bertil 4-ever :::

Found an English translation of the most beloved Christmas programme here in Sweden. Oh socialist values, where are you now?

::: Art deco headbands :::

When your head is heavy and tired from being sick for several days, it´s nice to have something simple and monotonous to do. Making these headbands and a bunch of other sequined little things took my mind away from the cold that never seems to give in. That and watching Arrested Development.
