Lost at sea

Here's another sea glass object of mine. Basically it's a diadem, which I've decorated with a lot of small pieces of colourful sea glass (and loads of glue).

Sailing over wave and tide oh ho ho.

Fantastic waves against our sides oh ho ho.

And I'm not so afraid.

Lost at sea, as I should be.

Lost in a melody

I thought I would share some of my home-made objects from last year. When I spent an evening at the beach I found some sea glass in the sand. Among those pieces I found this lovely piece of ocean glass. I glued the piece of glass on a little circle of metal. Then I tied it on a black string.

There's a lot of treasures out in the nature (even though some of them are not supposed to be there in the first place).  I find sea glass to be very beautiful and somehow unique. You just can't find a piece which looks exactly like the other.

The colour of the sea glass tells a story. This clear piece of glass comes from one of the following  sources: clear plates, glasses, windows or windshields.

Happily shared with craft schooling sunday

Wildflowers

When I made this necklace, I was inspired by Emma's necklaces in Glee. The flower is made of textile and cut out from a candle ring. The rest is beads you find in the craft store or toy store.

The idea behind this ring is the flower ring which Robin Hood gave Maid Marian in the Disney's Robin Hood movie.

I cut out the flowers from a candle ring. Then I painted them slightly purple and glued a pearl as a final touch.

Porcelain dresses

I went to Sofiero castle park this weekend. The park itself is "a total art work". When walking among the green lawns, trees and colorful borders, I found something more beautiful than all the 10,000 rhododendron bushes in full bloom together.

These cocktail dresses in natural size, made ​​out of pottery/porcelain greeted my tired eyes. An enchanting sight. I was amazed, and I still look at these photos with amazement.

I love how innovative and creative these dresses are. Also I love the 50s inspired look.
For your info, the artist is Agnes Spångberg.

More silly postcards. Why? Because it's fun to play with colours. It's okay to not be so serious all the time. (Also it's a good idea to use all the nail polish I have...)

Childishly fun

When I read Akademikern (Academician) 4/2011 I was delighted with all the funny pictures in it. I felt inspired to cut and paste. So I made some ugly postcards which I might send to blissfully unaware friends.

Then of course I couldn't stop cutting so I went to next magazine. Look below for postcards with a flower-theme.
