put the first pieces of FAKE CRYSTAL jewellery in the SHOP

meet the TINY FAKE CRYSTAL RINGS

triangle, rectangle and square

.

aquamarin and smoky quartz

waiting to be cast

playing around with them on different backgrounds

kind of like "giving them the ink"

as Cellini would have called it

(he actually painted their back...)

.

do you have any ideas

what one could do against fungus gnat

i just ordered 3 millions of nematode larvae

p

the best thing about working on prototypes?

i make them all my size

(in case nobody wants to buy them...)

a lot of fake crystals made of brass and ebony 

are on their way

.

and a bit of baby´s breath

although i don´t know where this is going

E wont like it

since she detests acrylic colours and flower paintings

but i gave it a try

the daffodils were fun

.

found a vintage magazine on "Frivolites"

a delicate kind of crochet

looks very complicated - i´m tempted to have a go at it

.

watched LAST NIGHT

and now i have a crush on Guillaume Canet

but that´s okay

made shortbread with orange zest, dark chocolate and caraway seeds

from JAMIE`S GREAT BRITAIN

turned out very lovely

.

so much sun around here

painting the Danube pink at sunset

happy birthday,K

.

here are some bussis (kisses)

for your collection

put them in a matchbox before they disappear

quick!

my black leaved begonia is blooming

such tiny blossoms

.

unfortunatly those roses died almost right after i got them

but until then they were just perfect

to brighten up these grey and rainy days

.

today the sun returned

E is in Milan again
not forgetting her wallet this time but her keys
.
here she almost can´t be seen
dancing around in Ss prom dress
we´re looking through a lot of closets these days
.
got myself a glittery jacket
to bring a bit of sparkle to the new year

taking down the Christmas decorations

.

watching PAN AM and BOARDWALK EMPIRE on stormy nights

.

the most precious cook book

belonging to my grandmother 

and to my great grandmother before that

happy birthday, W!

.

lots and lots of sprinkles

and silver candles

.

the whole family looks somehow italian

not me though
