"New" maxi skirts.

Not too long ago I was out getting some new black fabric for some new maxi skirts, which is my basic wardrobe. So..... They were out of the fabric I like, so I had to buy something else, but that showed out to wear super fast. I could wear it maybe three times or so and then it would get little fuzzies everywhere!!! T_________T' And the fabric was not at all cheap! Well, I didn't want to just waste my time, money and effort on these skirts. So I went out and bought some chiffon and fabrics like that.

This is how some of them look like done. For a while now I've been trying to incorporate some more neutrals and earthy tones into my wardrobe. I love the hole bohemian  chic thing, it's just a little difficult for me to buy brown things... Aha ha, yeah I know it sounds stupid, but my grandma LOVES brown and orange and mouldy colours, so my hole childhood I've really hated that kind of palette. But I'm not "brownphobic" anymore. XD
I had to buy the blue toned fabrics! I'm still crazy about blue.... But to keep some simpicity to my wardrobe I made two skirts with this black, super fine mesh fabric. I know the word in danish and I googled the word but without any luck. But I think that you know what I mean by now. :)

I also found this really pretty curtain fabric. Both ends of the fabric had this effect on the ends so I made it into a maxi peplum-thing... I think it has a kind of a catholic massboy vibe to it, which I dig, weirdly enough. I don't know... I think it'll be great for a fancy boho look. It's possible to dress it down.

A little close up.

I fell over this fabric which I ADORE! I made these pants out of some of it. I had enough fabric left to make a maxi skirt, and line a bag. XD When I do pants I get so scared that I wont have enough so I end up buying way to much.

 

At the place I buy fabric they always have some amazing cheap leftovers, so I found this beautiful burgundy cotton. Ages ago I saw a skirt in a magazine which had a black trim detail. Fortunately I had enough black cotton fabric to make this skirt. I can't wait to wear it!

New painting!

 

 

 

It's called "Tears 'n' ripped Stockings".

 

I LOVE fall!

I still love burgundy hardcore.

I found this water filled leaf when I was out.

I really love how the naked trees contrast to the beautiful clear sky at this time of year.

The first real frost. So pretty!

And, this is my most favorite outfit lately. I made the maxi skirt myself, the white button down is thrifted and the knit is from Ginatricot. I love the simplicity, the print, the colours and texture mix. And it's super comfy and casual. ^_^

 



 

 

My first cardigan is done.^-^

Again, my phone really doesn't like red colours. But irl it's a very cool toned extremely bright red colour. It's so incredibly beautiful! It's a slightly cropped cardigan that hits just above the hips. It's not really flattering on me when cardigans stops at my hips. They need to either be shorter or longer. :) I have been working on this for about 8 months. I didn't use any patterns or get any help. And for the texture I was just trying out something new to achieve a more chunky look.

And a little close up to show the texture. I don't really know any of the english knitting terms so I will leave it at the pictures. XD

New Paintings!

So I have been busy with orders and haven't really had the time to do any real fun stuff. But I just wanted to share the latest work. :)

 

The first one is quite huge. It measures 1x1m/39,4x39,4" which is quite large compared to what I prefer. But I'm satisfied with the result. And the buyer was very very happy with it, so thats great. It's called "Karlsvognen" (The big Dipper(?)) and it has a very special meaning to her and her husband.

A few close ups for the details:

 

 

And the next order is a series consisting of three canvases:

 

 

My phone really hates red! T_______T' You can't really see any detail or nuances of colour, trust me it looks so much better irl. But I guess you get the idea... The titel is "Sanguis vita est" which means blood is life. I am so fascinated with blood, I think it's beautiful and lifegiving. That's why I've written the word blood in the roses, one letter for each big rose. It's very subtle and you can't see it in the pictures. If I have to paint something as sober as plain old roses I can't help but put a little twist on it. :P

 

 

Lengthshot of september 2012!

My internet has been acting up for more than a week now, but today it's working again, I guess.

 

I am tilting my head a little forward here. It's so painful for me to stand like this. :(

After this picture was taken I trimmed off about 1 cm. So in this pic you can se the result of my last trim two months ago. I know it looks a little uneven but it's actually my back that's uneven. Also I've been noticing a change in my hair. I have a lot of curls growing in... It feels a bit weird having very straight hair, and then suddenly I have spiral curls at the nape of my neck and waves and crazy stuff like that. If you look at the non processed hair you can see a bit of a wave thing going on, but I don't know if it's an actual wave or if it's just because I went to bed with damp hair... Normally that doesn't happen but I don't wanna get too excited if it's just a coincidence. I will have to wait and find out I guess. ^___^ Oh and when I started growing out my hair I new that it would look a lot more red the lighter it would get. I think you can start to see what I'm talking about in this picture. The top part looks brown and then a bit above my shoulders it turns into a more bright red. I still don't know what to call my hair colour.... I will probably make an entire entry about my hair colour! Ha ha. XD

 

The trim for this month

 

This is the length shot from july 2012 before the trim. I know it looks like I'm tilting my head back but I have a cowlick, so yeah. And I'm standing closer to the camera... It looks straighter here but if you really look closely you might notice some kind of small shadows on the right side of my hair.

 

 

Anyways, in july 2012 I chose to maintain at tailbone for about six months. I love fairytale ends but I don't feel comfortable with it. I always find myself cursing at my thin ends. And the obvious reason is that I just want to get rid of the dye/damage. ^______^
