it´s TINY HEART NECKLACE TIME again
.
those dashing valentines are my great-grandparents
(yes, she´s somehow holding up a fox fur stole)
they worked in a bookbinding shop
and climbed the Zugspitze wearing Lederhosen and a dirndl
later on her little bunches of garden flowers
became quite popular on the farmers market
.
i never met her, but i´m named after her
.
he told us the most exciting stories
about getting out of your nailed shoes on the Alps
when a storm comes up and hide them under a stone
so you wouldn´t get struck by lightning
.
and he taught us how to do ski gymnastics
way up to his nineties
neither of us has skied til now... we´re a quite disapointing bunch

it´s so freezing outside
my brain feels numb
everytime i enter a warm room
the temperature difference being over 30 degrees
felt so dazed at the book club meeting the other day
i couldn´t speak a word...
(we read NOTES ON A SCANDAL
and it seemed i was the only one finding Barbara kind of funny)
.
wouldn´t you love to join the EVEN CLEVELAND bookclub?!
.
this is my great granddad skiing
he actually framed the picture in this angle
to give it a more daring look
clever, right?

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
