And she'll burn our horizons, make no mistake.

I went fabric shopping today and found the most gorgeous floral textile ever - and it was 35% off so yay for me - and yay for you guys too, because I'm going to be a busy little bee tomorrow, sewing all day so that I could get some skirts up for sale by Wednesday. Overall I've had a good weekend - very creative one. Did some doodling and managed to get some pretty decent illustrations out of it. So again - yay!
But do enjoy and tell me what you think :)

So this is what I wore today : Leather jacket and the black top are from NewYorker; studded bag from House; shoes from NSking and the lace skirt is selfmade.

Here are some of the illustrations I made this weekend. I'm so sorry for the horrible watermarks, but as I've learned - better safe than sorry. The figures are drawn with pencils (2B,4B) and black ink, then scanned and colored digitally using PhotoshopCS3 and Adobe IllustratorCS3. Ps: click for fullview!


I'm not sure how many of you usually listen to the songs I post, but this time I must insist that you do. These arent random tunes, on the contrary - these are usually the sources of my inspiration, and listening to them might help you see and feel the pictures differently.

There's no glitter in the gutter, there's no twilight galaxy.

Just a casual black and white outfit. This is actually the skirt I wore at my 9th grade graduation. Ofcourse I wore it a bit differently back then.. on my hips to be exact. Yeah, didn't look so good. But anyway.. I've been sewing and working on some new illustrations, I might even start selling my skirts on Etsy. But it's still just a thought.
PS: I'm attending a birthday party tonight - the theme is punk. Any ideas ? :)

You cry out loud when you’re reckless in the dark.

Took these last night. Just wanted to play around with different lighting (read: random lamps I had lying around) and settings (read: backyard and my mothers greenhouse), unfortunately it didn't turn out as I had hoped. My camera simply refused to focus and kept I stumbeling over random things because it was was pitch-black and I really coulnd't see anything so I had to throw in the towel. Besides I really need a tripod with three legs, not two and a half. But do enjoy! :)

I also had great surprise the other day, when I checked my mailbox. The august issue of Sofis Mod with my feature in it finally arrived. The article is written by the lovely Annika Marklund - who was such a pleasure work with. And here is the feature :

god bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime.

I've been so-so busy these past few days - packing and sending out all the orders. I've gotten so many lovely letters, request and all that fun jazz so I just wanted to take this time to thank every single one of you for your support. The store opening has been a bigger success than I ever expected. So besides the fact that I'm a tired little bunny - I'm so very happy :)

Thank you !


I've also got a new Sketch Edition available - since some people like my illustrations more before they are colored, I decided to make some tote bags with just the black and white sketches. They're much easier to mix into your wardrobe now. Let me know what you think!
