In uni we had this class where we had to design all sorts of buildings and at the evaluation not only the design itself mattered but also the way we presented it with models and drawings. To me designing the building and having to think about the structures, sizes, functions and rooms was just an excuse to be able to draw the ready thing at the end.
Last time when I visited my parents, I found my beloved bead loom and decided to take it home with me and create some amazing stuff again. I had this idea to make a cool, tribal-looking bracelet first so I started to look up patterns on the internet and found this one that was exactly the type of pattern I had in mind. I went to a few different diy stores to pick up the items I needed: loads of different beads, threads, bead needles, some wide textile bands to cover the backside at the end and some snap fasteners.
This Mug for my Dad’s birthday is the newest personal project I completed.
He works as an electrician and he always comes up with all sorts of electronic solutions and gadgets around the house so electricity isn’t only his profession but also his hobby. It only made sense to create a personalised gift for him with a pattern of a circuit board.
I designed a gift box for a client a few months ago. When I showed the final images to one of my friends, she was super fond of the pattern and said she would love to have a phone case like that.
As Christmas was coming up, I made a mental note and soon after created this pattern for her that was based on that gift box design but with a few modifications.
My Mum’s nameday was coming up and I wanted to make her a card with her monogram on it instead of just giving her a store bought card. I know, this is pretty much what I have to say in every blog post/personal project description but what can I say? I like this kind of sentimental stuff.
I cannot say I’ve done many portraits in my life. As I keep doing more and more projects, I get lesser impressed by and interested in the ones that have nothing to say but ‘look at me, I can draw’.
This handmade ginger cat wrapping paper is purrfect for those who like long hours of sleep during the day and are constantly hungry no matter what. Individuals who enjoy curling up against warm surfaces such as radiators, sunlit concrete or other purring companion.
Fairy shoes are a sweet creation for those days when one feels a bit creative and wants to indulge.
ART FROM SCRATCH, aka. how I found a new name for my site that’s catchy and NOT TAKEN YET.
I am a huge fan of black and white photography. I am a fan of starting blog posts with cliché sentences, too, it seems. I don’t only love taking black and white photos for the sake of it but I am also fond of synthesising them in my work.
