A Green Melon Creation

Hej hopp!
I know, I know. I've been away for quite some time now. A lot has been going on trying to get our company, Green Melon Creations, on its feet. Alas, both our website and store are now up and running. Shipping worldwide too!
Green Melon Creations website and Boutique.


Enjoy!

Busy

I've been spending most of my time working towards and worrying about my final exhibition that starts on May 16. It's at Konstcentrum here in Gävle. I'm working with animation. Sort of. 

These two are keeping me company above my work desk at the art school. Made them last year.

Howling owling

I have somehow found my way back to drawing. And I actually think it's fun again. I've been struggling for a long time to find enjoyment in something that has been so constantly scrutinized, put to the test - graded.
I guess studying art carries a risk.

These are rough scans. No editing.
Made with ink and graphite on paper.

WIP

This is something I'm doodling on right now. Graphite on paper. Simple.
(I apologize for crappy iPhone photo.)

Japanese DIY

I bought this Japanese paper drawer DIY kit when I was in Honolulu last year. I rarely buy kits, but this one was too cute to leave behind in the store. Plus I love anything washi! <3

Although I don't speak the language, Japanese craft instructions are usually quite easy to understand. They make awesome illustrations showing you exactly what to do. The rest is just based on logic and common (crafting) sense. ^________^

Long time no see.

Yup! It sure has been a while since I updated last. Stuff happens I guess. Heh.. :/
I have been busy crafting and creating art as well as helping Alexander with the company. I have not been good at documentation nor uploading things I've done. I guess that's my semi new years resolution. Getting better at that. I usually don't make resolutions so.. Let's see how it goes!

Here's some of my lace stash. I have to admit that I'm pretty bad at using the stuff. I just hoard it, especially if it's vintage or hand made.
I crocheted the doily in the summer of 2010. It sure took a long time and made me realize how much work actually goes into one. Something to contemplate next time you find one at the thrift store for less than a dollar.
