My creative space

Here's another creative sidekick of mine. A handful of plastic beads are on their way to become a sun-catcher.

That little thing that looks like a cookie is made of polymer clay. Rolled it out, cut it with a cookie cutter and pierced with a toothpick. After that it landed on a pan covered with backing paper. 30 minutes in an oven and the cookie was ready for the next step.



Then the wire and wire cutters came in. I used a thin hobby wire and not thread, since the wire is easier to untangle and I can bend it in any shape I want. Added some wooden beads as well.





Made the loop for hanging. And that's it!

Fern

Wednesday, 16 June 2010

Midsummer is almost there! They say that the fern blossoms for one magical night in midsummer only, so what could be more appropriate for today's window shopping on Etsy than the fern? Enjoy!

Here are some photos from the last week.

Went to MillesgÄrden and wondered why I hadn't done it before. A fantastic park to dream and stay lost for hours!



Postcardlike Stockholm:



Fascinating and disturbing at the same time:



Somehow I end up visiting Olle every time I'm in Stockholm:



It was windy on the way back:

I miss you Stockholm!

Postcard swap

Friday, 4 June 2010



Anniki a.k.a. Woolmint started a game - secret postcard swap, so that the participants send and receive a hand made postcard from somewhere in Europe. I was the lucky one to receive a postcard from Anniki herself. Isn't it gorgeous?

And here the postcard I sent to NancyvdBoom. It traveled all the way to the Netherlands.



Next week I'm going to be on vacation in Stockholm which is a place I always love to return to and this means I'm taking a break from blogging.

And as I'm into postcards today... If you'd like to receive a postcard from me (not a handmade one though) sent from the beautiful Stockholm email me your postal address to rasaspulle at yahoo.com

See you on Monday June 14!

Update: To find out more about postcard swap and see more postcards hop over to Anniki's blog.

While waiting for some enameling supplies to arrive I've decided to test a few crochet patterns for my scarves, although it will take a while (like until August) until I can show you them finished and listed in my shop.

I only wish we didn't have so many mosquitoes this year and I could do this outside.

Today my creative space post comes late in the afternoon. And there is only one reason - the whole day I was creating, creating, creating! Coin and pill both were part of the process. I've been playing with enamels recently and thought about creating something inspired by those beautiful white plates with blue lining my grandmother once had.



The disc with white enamel comes under the pill. The coin just makes the lifting easier. Here's the result:

P.S. My recent obsession with drawing has a lot to do with enameling. It has made my creative juices flowing and resulted in tons of new ideas. Hope you had a creative day too.

Package from Vienna

Tuesday, 11 May 2010



Look what I received from my secret spring swap partner baahar a.k.a sleevy. The swap game was organized by the spring swap fairy vadjutka and played by the European Street Team. The idea behind it is that you make something for a team member and also receive a gift yourself.

I'm so impressed Baahar's creations. That bag will certainly become number one this summer. Thank you!
