It’s been another week, and I’ve actually been super productive!! I’ve worked a lot on secret stuff which involves upgrading my website (so not so secret then), but I’ve made some stuff too! I started a new project! Working title: The Name Project. It’s where I’ve asked my ~followers~ to submit their names + colour combination and then I’ll make an art piece with those colours + name it that name! I’ve had this idea for a while but finally posted it to Instagram and I’m amazed at how many responses I got!!  I usually get like two comments per picture, but I have like 30-40 for this one???? I’ve started the project though and first one out was Nicoletta, who is a friend from Hitrecord . She wished for something blue! My friend Anna María wanted something green!  Made “Firza” for a use who wanted pink, light blue, cyan, yellow and tosca green. Really struggled to get some yellow in there as it’s not in my u...

Oh what a wonderful month it has been! I’ve had a blast seeing everything that you’ve created, and creating things myself. But it’s time to look back on all of that, as it is the end of the month and time for an epic CONTRAST COMPILATION! Emilia made a beautiful linocut. This is one of the most beautiful things I have seen. But I do love me some linocut! Wilda wrote a poem about then and now and the contrasts between those two times. Vackraverk made a beautiful blackout poem.  Stina sent Thank you-cards to the people who came to her wedding and och Johanna  made a print to cover a notebook in. Nina made an amazing flower crown. Julia made an amazing clock from a cork trivet and some white paint, Veronica made a placemat out of pearls, Helga crocheted a phone cover and Alexandra made magnets! Klara  made a pretty illustration! Linnéa Elisabeth made two concrete vases, Borgmästaren did some embroidery using lines as shadows and Beatrice embroidered some g...

So I found this series by photographer Vivienne B a few weeks ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. Vivienne is an Italian photographer who focuses on fashion and portrait photography, and this series of some kind of mixed media photography is OUTSTANDING. It is what I assume is printed photographs combined with flowers, snow and shards of glass. It’s simply stunning. Let’s have a look.      Like honestly, I just love this so much. I can’t decide which ones are my favourites, I think they all are. But the combination of cherry blossom with the pale blue of them dress is amazing. You can find more of Vivienne’s work on her website , Instagram and Facebook page . Do check her out, she is quite amazing.

I feel like I haven’t done that much since last time, but I felt like I wanted to make another one of these posts! Abstract art-wise I’ve made two pictures.  The first one is Johanna II, which is made for my forever friend Johanna. I made one for her previously , but this time I actually asked her before what colours she wanted! It was a lot of fun to create based on what someone else wanted! I wouldn’t want to do it every time, but it was a fun exercise.  This is what it looked like before the pixel sorting! The other one I’ve made is Adriana. I found a new way of pixel sorting which lets me pixel sort from a center and then out like rays, and it looks pretty darn crazy sometimes, but I think it looked cool in this one!  Here’s what it looked like before! I’ve built the image from brushes and photos! I’ve also kind of made my Pinterest-habit into a Tumblr-habit. I don’t know, I just enjoy gathering it like this rather than in folders ...
