::: Tiny object rings :::

Something small and sweet to accompany my camera necklaces. I filed the original charms down and mounted them onto ring bases. You can find the silver version here. It´s really about time I find a ring model (ie convince a friend) that can show how my rings look worn though, I´m suspecting measurements aren´t enough. My own fingers are unfortunately of the sausage variety, and unmanicured : I

::: Knit-along :::

Grey November is the perfect time for knitting projects. I make at least one new hat and scarf each autumn and lately my mind has been set on cowls. The ideal one covers both head and neck and my first attempt was quite successful. However, first I wanted a hot pink one like above but when I was nearly finished I changed my mind to electric blue instead. So, the fuchsia cowl can now be found in my shop. Currently I´m impatiently knitting away to see how this new one will turn out, and trying a more oversized pattern.

::: Good times :::

Vintage advertisement on how to pack on the pounds to become more attractive. Seems like a looong time ago.

::: Carole Lombard :::

I found this set of high resolution photos of 30´s actress Carole Lombard and was instantly captivated. Need to discover her films now! Even though the photos below are quite noir-esque she mostly made comedies, among them the original Mr and Mrs Smith by Alfred Hitchcock that I´m planning to see tonight.

::: Star poufs :::

I wanted to make something pinwheel-shaped like the beautiful brooches in Dolce & Gabbana´s fall collection, and came up with these hair decorations. They are made with satin and velvet ribbon that have been placed in a star pattern and then been embroidered with abstract patterns in the centers. Poufs of tulle on the back. Great for the holiday season, so I think I will try a few other colours too.
