again - pink and violet shades

i´m mostly wearing neutrals, so i need some colour

not sure what to knit with that wool though - it sits around for over a year now

my favorite Necklace

i need your help with this one:

tiny gold plated baked goods on a string of red silk

- necklaces for christmas time -

too cute? too much?

shall i go with grey silk instead? or offer both possibilities?

hope you all have a sunny autumn friday!

the forth piece of the layer collaboration

at first slots were made into the copper

than the whole surface was coated with enamel

which was taken off again to leave just the slots filled

i guess i´ll turn it into a pendant...

an other tiny heart necklace is on it´s way

a quite belated birthday present...

thinking of putting some of these in the christmas shop

with a red string of silk instead of the brown one

those grapes really looked stunning, but tasted not like you would have expected

this crazy patterned fabric is a tote bag i got from a drugstore

and my most beloved Silk & Glass Necklace

since pumpkin season just started i´d like to share my new favorite recipe

lay them on a tea towel, sprinkled with a bit of salt, for about 30 min

at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart
