Cool breezes

The autumn is upon us here and I am productive galore (and have no idea why this is underlined, but cannot change it, urgh). Reusing, reassembling, recycling seem to be my things in these, as well as some cool colours (and by "cool", I mean the temperature, not the likeability;))

So here are my latest meddlings:

Dress/tunic, recycled from my boyfriend's old T-shirt and some scrap material. The picture on the front is a Japanese illustration (that got this whole thing started btw.). The little flower on the side serves the purpose of hiding the stupid NIKE sign that I couldn't get rid of any other way.

The inspiration for this came from Maegan's tutorial for ruffle sleeve top but I gave it up half way through because I thought this works better for these colours. Also, I wanted exactly these colours, so this is not an old T-shirt, but a quickly sewn top ;)

Okay, this picture is crap, but the shrug is completely adorable in person. When I first saw Eve's tutorial at Cut Out & Keep, I couldn't figure out how it would work, but when I got around to trying it, I was completely thrilled! It is so incredibly easy and looks so great that I am tempted to do loads of them (so far, I only had one blouse that I could use for this, but I am on the lookout for more;)). Thanks Eve!

So, after my sewing spree, I moved on to adequate jewellry of course...

Pendant immediately acquired by my boyfriend. Made on a recycled jar lid.

Again, a bad photo - the colours are much nicer live, and they match the colours of the ruffle top perfectly.

These were made from recycled zipper "thingies" (whatever those are called - you know, the thing you grab hold of when handling a zipper?)

Another pendant (and, yes, another peacock) on a recycled jar lid.

I'm still on the go!

of! b.u.n.t.

I made this little video with my boyfriend's reappearing character (check out the link for his appearances in 2D ;)). I find him really adorable. Also, the painting in question is sort of the origin of the name b.u.n.t.

Hope you enjoy!

Oh, yes - I did notice that in the end the letter T went into the wrong line, but it was all done and edited by then! :((

Childish is me ;)

Well, I used Danny Gregory's advice once again, and I tell ya, I think it really works! So after a long draught drawing-wise (or anything productive-wise) there are a few new bits and pieces on the production line ;)

This is sort of like an anniversary present for my boyfriend. Ahem, namely, well...that's us in short.

This one was inspired by a photo of some rock formations somewhere in the USA I think, but I can't find the original photo now. I find the idea of an alien robot meeting a chicken very amusing and I even had ideas about a comic.

I have no idea where this one came from. (Btw. the bird is smoking a pipe, but I didn't take a picture of it for some unknown reason, and then couldn't be bothered to do it again)

Watercolour it is!

I got a watercolour moleskine as a present from my boyfriend (woohoo!) and decided to dive into it and not wait for too long. I am an absolute beginner when it comes to watercolour, and I am often very impressed by its effects (if not by my skill, or lack thereof ;)). Otherwise, human figure is one of my favourite subjects - so, here goes:

Road-triping

I dream about a road trip like this. And the people in this picture are all specific, and perfect road trip companions. Now, wouldn't that be just lovely?

The spirit of togetherness

Still no progress on the creative front, so I delve into the oldies, and there you go:

These are not oldies per se, as they've been done a couple of months ago, and they were both a collaboration with my boyfriend and both ended up as presents for my parents.

Hope you enjoy :-)

Back and taking it slowly

I'm back from holiday and mostly resting from it so far. Nothing new on the production line yet, so I just leave you with the recipients of the presents from the last post and hope I get into gear soon.

Cheers!
