Putrefactio
Putrefactio: Allow things to ferment and transform. While waiting for the fire to be lit & warm up. While waiting for the final step. Where the final state still will be consumed. Cycles moving so slowly that they are difficult to [...]

Sweets for my sweet…Sockerchock!
Preparing the sugar attack for Sunday. I’m inviting some people over for a small winter solstice celebration. I have been doing this for the last eight or nine years now so it’s definitely something I can call a tradition. Usually it has just been me alone or with a couple of friends [...]
Choose your tools to suit your mood
When was the last time you made something by hand? When did you last write something with an ordinary pen? With all the brilliant technology we have around us I sometimes truly find pleasure in doing things by hand instead. Be it sewing or writing – my mind seems to work in a different way. [...]
The Forest Breathes
Went out for a long walk in the rare sunshine. The forest breathes, but it’s odd to see how nature looks as if it is October, not mid December… A day to clean the mind. A day to clean the house. A day to clean away negativity and dive deeper. Talking to the left hand dragon lighting up [...]
A dive down in Symbolism
I spent some time today working on the layout for an art zine that will be an addition to the next release with my music project V-kaos. I asked friends to contribute with a piece or art or text which they were free to create based on an individual quote that I gave each person. I’m waiting [...]

Mittens part 4
First I had the idea to only use couching of the outlines of the embroidery pattern as decoration of the mittens, but since I have quite a lot of silk thread lying around that I haven’t been using, I decided to fill out the whole pattern to add more colour. I’m trying split stitch for [...]
Mittens part 3
I tacked together one of the wadmal mittens just to try out that it fit properly before proceeding with the remaining steps. Since all was fine I took it apart again to start on another crucial part – the decoration! I’m using a pattern that was included in the embroidery instruction [...]
