since i´m too busy (and sick) to take pictures myself

this is the perfect opportunity to show you some pictures taken by RAINER 

when he visited our workshop together with the lovely JULIE

(back when it was not winter...)

we had a wonderful time

W showing some of his techniques

telling everybody several times - like predicted - he wants to work i an ample hall once more

instead of our tiny messy workshop

and we finished the last prototypes for the PUZZLE RINGS

.

he told me to take off my scarf

since no sane goldsmith would saw wearing a scarf

well, now it´s so cold (and we have a cold, too) we´re also wearing down jackets and hats

the wood fired oven is doing its best

but we´re still freezing
.
find some more pictures HERE

.

again: some videos

the King - SUSPICIOUS MINDS

Jay Z goes THE ARTIST IS PRESENT - i like the dancer with the golden cap

END THE STRAIGHT WORLD ORDER - made my sister stop shaving her legs

all pictures by RAINER EIDEMÜLLER

we couldn´t be happier to show you our collaboration with the lovely Paula Valentim from OTCHIPOTCHI

(i guess you all know i´m a big fan of her work)

together we came up with a small limited edition of seasonal things

combining delicate white porcellain and brass bits

a BRANCH TEA WARMER, STRIPE and WIRE ORNAMENTS and some LEAF ORNAMENTS

simple and clean yet festive decorations for your house

.

some other things:

a nice write up on I AM THE LAB including a very flattering comparison

a funny COMMERCIAL

i like it when jewellery bears a MEANING

does anyone elsa have this WOOL BLAZER and can´t figure it out?

nice things in the WRAP SHOP

i´m very honoured to be part of the second edition of the lovely HEIMAT zine

they included some words and pictures of mine

about moldy plums and yeasted buns called Rohrnudeln made with them before they start rotting away

.

my sister E says i should avoid leaving the impression that i think i´m a poet because i´m clearly not

so here it is: I DON´T THINK I´M A POET

i just write stuff - that´s all

.

there are a lot of nice participants

like JULIE, NINA, AMMENMÄRCHEN, ULMA and much more

.

you can order it HERE or over at PRINTE

.

Alma put together a GIFT GUIDE suggesting to give a BLUEBELL NECKLACE to your sisters

i´d recommend the same:) 
you could also add some BLACK & WHITE CHRISTMAS CARDS
.
our BEATEN BRACELETS over at ATELIER SOLARSHOP
very nice pictures by MIEKE VERBIJLEN
.
some NASTURTIUMS for this grey November week

a lot of hard work went into our new collection

lots of jewellery, of course 

things to play around with, stackable PUZZLE RINGS, changeable NECKLACES

also a new edition of W´s classic pieces - the W COLLECTION

and there are a few seasonal things like

 CHRISTMAS CARDS

CHRISTMAS PENDANTS

CANDLE STICKS

.

you´ll find everything in the SHOP
.

the PEBBLE RINGS are now available custom made

either with a pebble of your own

or one of our little collection

.

and there´s even more to come...

 

a little china dove and me

finally finishing the last christmas cards for this season

but i guess it will still take two weeks until everything is finished

and available in the shop

but there will be some very nice things

so do wait up a bit with buying gifts:)

.

there will even be some colour this time

not only silver and brass

right now i´m stringing the tiniest vintage baroque pearls

combined with corals or turquoise

as you like

.

got a pilea from ANDREA a couple of weeks back

she was so kind to swap a cutting for some of my geraniums

THE blogger plant i guess

took the picture right after potting it

it has already grown at least three more leaves

leaves are also part of the upcoming OTCHIPOTCHI collection

and obviously a great joy for the cat

what you can´t see is her shaved back

she got a benign lump removed

spent a day walking around like a drunkard and sounding like one too

now she´s as good as new

.

nature is crazy

chestnuts, primroses and cloves started to bloom again

and the poppies never stopped in the first place

.

off to making some quince jam for my sisters

after that some more christmassy work
