The not so secret project...

Only a few more sleeps until Anna and I will launch our collaborative jewelry line.
Did I tell you that we started working together on the 9th of August? After a few convo's back and forth, we decided to have a secret chat on Etsy.
Anna send me these visual aids and I was already very impressed...We both were excited about making things together and we both loved to keep you all in suspense for so long. While we are still busy making, we just wanted to remind you to keep an eye on lilarubyking's shop on monday the 4th of January.
Anna will start listing the first item at 1pm Central European Time.
Every first monday of the month, we will list new work. That way we can still keep up the suspense a little bit! :)

Psst... the new year is in sight! I hope it will be a bit like this mosaic as these pictures represent energy, sillyness, fun & quietness for me.
What would you like your new year to look?

Don't forget to look at my favorite mosaic from last week. It's beautiful in all it's simplicity.

I'll pop over to have a look at yours. Can't wait to see your creations and find new favorites! :)

Studio happenings

Superhappy to be back to my studio after the X-mas days. Here's a peek in my studio on what's happening in there today:

Clean up yesterday's mess from mould making.Sand porcelain pieces for my collaboration with Anna from lilarubyking.Finish piggybanks so they can dry.

Photograph Decopatched singing birds.

Draw happy faces on the happy girls.

That's a lot to get done today, I'm not sure I'll manage but I'll try.
I dread the sanding and there's a lot of it... *sigh*
What are your plans today?

Crazy about granny squares?

Jip, I finally have the red yarn to finish my Babette blanket but again haven't had time to start yet. So I'll be sharing this picture with you too. Kirsty from Kootoyoo made a granny square necklace & ring. She has a tutorial on the necklace in her blog. Quick, run! :)

I feel spoiled... and loved!

At last I took some time of taking pictures from all the cards & goodies I got for my birthday & from the art exchange I took part in.
Thank you so much Jaimee, Marta, Eva (oops, forgot to add your beautiful card above), Nathalie, Veerle, Krisztina, Nathalie, Heather, Anna, Stephanie, Judit, Laura, Baahar, Ina, Kylie, Kristin, Ayperi, Estella, Colleen ,Stina, Kim and Kirsten.
I hope I have not forgotten someone 'cause my mailbox got flooded! ;)
This beautiful scarf was send to me from Heather & I love it so much. It's a fantastic color and has a very soft touch! It's handfelted from superfine & soft fibers! Thank you so much for sending me this beauty just because...
Then Anna spoiled me with some fantastic artworks. I can't wait to get them framed and give them a nice spot in my studio. The first one says on the back: 'inspired by the Barbie murders'
Haha, my collaboration partner is the funniest! :) Thank you, Anna!
My friend Stephanie send me these lovelies: a wonderful and warm beret and a fitting scarf. The cute little stripey elephant is watching me work in my studio! He makes me smile! :)
Thanks so much for adding more knitted goodies to my Stephanie-collection! :)And yesterday, the postman rang and gave me a big box with these yummy goodies!
Ohh, delish bananabread from Nathalie! NomNom! Thanks heaps, Nathalie!
I'm afraid I'll have to share otherwise I won't be able to go through the door anymore...And today I received the Poufiks I won from Evaforeva's giveaway and I am SUPERhappy with them! I knew it: I needed a Poufik in my life! :)
I'll take pictures from them next week and will make you all jealous again! ;)

And I wish you all a wonderful X-mas Eve and X-mas day, whenever you celebrate.
Let it be filled with joy, happiness and cake! :)

The singing birds are back...

After they sold out within the week, I decided to make a new batch of singing birds.
I'm working on some colorful ones too but they will be listed later on this week.
Of course you can find them in my shop! :)

Today my mosaic is inspired by supplies as I'll be out for supply shopping. I can't wait to get new plaster as I totally ran out and I have some mouldmaking planned. And hopefully they have my red yarn so I can finish my Babette blanket. I also need some colored paper to make new boxes for shipping the singing birds as I have a whole batch that came out of the kiln yesterday.
And of course, my favorite supply: clay! Can't live or work without that! :)
Ohh, I love supply shopping! My shoppinglist is long and wide...

Look at my favorite mosaic from last week: kind of creepy but SO good! :)
