A while ago I started to style our living room in some kind of forest look. At first our houseplants were accompanied with some forest-themed knick-knackery and I painted our furniture. Then I added some real branches from the woods nearby. But now I am taking it to the next level - the trees are coming in! If you want to put something other than pictures on your wall, just take a roll of packing paper, some ink, water and a paintbrush - there you go :D

Good Morning, Diaspora!
I wish you all a happy belated new year - full of joy and peace, things you like, people you love, passion and inspiration. Let's try out new things and grow with our experience! My first new challenge for this year is drawing on wood. So I got myself a woodburning-tool and some wooden scraps and here comes the result... I really enjoyed doodeling this and the smell was lovely ;D

Trip to the moon - or let the levitation begin ;)

Two weeks went by since we returned from Leipzig and the greatest dark festival – or gothic family meeting as so many fondly call it. For us it felt like the best time ever, thanks to our friends, the kind residents of the town and of course the possibility to pick so many pearls out of the never ending festival schedule of the Wave-Gotik-Treffen. In the next days I will share some of our adventures with you.

Simple but cute - a little black dress. My collection of handmade clothing is growing along with gifts from my love, some items from one of my favourite brands and many thrifted goodies. Aside from the belts these are combinations I would wear every day, but as the festival approaches I am slowly getting in the mood to dress up.

I think this clothing-thing might be something different here on Diaspora. But hey - posting as well as posting my work is new for me also. For many years I have been working on things behind closed doors and only for my self. But now I feel like I want to share my work more and inspire people with the great variety of my projects and interests as well as giving them the courage to try things out for themselves. Phew, that's quite exciting!

So... do you have questions? Would you like me to focus on some special part of the process (like inspiration, patternmaking, sewing, combining)? And no worries, the next project for june will be lino-cuts. I am interested in clothing and styles, but not for following trends and spending money. It's to reflect my inner mood on the outside and feeling comfortable. And having fun. And beeing weird and different and challenge people not to judge me from first sight. But it's not my whole life :D

New month, new projects! For the next two weeks I will bury myself in fabrics and patterns to sew my clothing ideas for this years WGT. In case you never heared about it, it is called "Wave Gotik Treffen" and it is the largest subcultural music festival you can imagine for bats like me. I am excited to go to Leipzig again and meet with all my friends, enjoy art and exhibitions all over the town, guided tours, lectures and of course lots and lots of concerts. But first the work! Stay tuned and watch out for needles and scissors ;D
