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 really enjoy taking and looking at photos that capture nature. In my opinion nothing man-made can measure up to beauty so diverse and unpredictable.
I love the honesty and rawness to it.. Everything is what it is and there is no trying to cover up or looking a certain way to impress.
It is the source of unlimited creativity and possibilities that cannot be produced by the limited and conditioned human mind.
In fact, trying to describe it and put labels on it such as ‘spectacular’ or ‘breathtaking’ does nothing but limits the limitless.
During my years at university I had the chance to spend the summer time in the United States working and travelling.
I have been a part of New York, New York twice and I was very impressed by the endless opportunities that the city provided. As I was walking around the streets, I learned to expect to see something unexpected at any minute. Street dancers on the subway, a busker using buckets and pots as a drum set, air planes flying around and writing Latin words in the air and so on. I never knew what was going to greet me on the next corner.
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.
I still remember that day just like it was yesterday. It started like every other morning, except, I got criticised by the crosswalk…
I woke up early that day and started with my usual beauty-routine: took a shower, brushed my teeth, moisturised my face, did my makeup, did my hair, picked the right outfit. I left the house and started to walk to the bus stop. As I was about to cross the road, I came across this shallow crosswalk that suggested,…- no – GAVE IT IN ORDER that I should look right.
