In a Shop Near You

I delivered my creations to Los Lobos last Friday!! I've been working to reach this moment for some time now, and a lot of time and effort has been put into it.. It feels wonderful to finally have my stuff out there and available. Birds to the people!

I walked up there, to put the display up after work yesterday. After searching half the town for some nice branches to put my birdies on, I started to give up the idea of finding the kind I was looking for. I thought I'd have to go for plan B, my "Halloween branches". The ones I have in storage, that I pull out every Halloween, to hang bats and spiders on.. But as I walked up there, I decided to pop into this last flower shop that I passed by. And kiss my lucky star! He had two left from Christmas of the exact same kind I was searching for. Not only that, he gave them to me for free:) When it looks like all hope is out and so on..

Long story short, display is now up and I love the way it turned out!! Just like I had imagined! I forgot my camera at home, so I had to document it with my mobile phone. The colors is a little off and they're not as sharp as I could wish, but you get a little peek on how it looks. If you're in the area, go have a look;)

Also I received a wonderful review from Miss Margarita on her blogg, a couple of days ago! Thanks sweetheart!!



Burlesque Hairdo'

Lucky me got my hair styled for my Burlesque Birthday, by lovely Miss E! She's just finished the Adam & Eva hairdressers school and in need of hairmodels, a real win-win situation for both of us. She offered to do my hair burlesque style for the show the same evening, so said so done!

I spent all day on my birthday in the hairdresser chair. Chatting away with Miss E and the girls, reading magazines and drinking coffee. All while getting my hair cut, colored and beautifully styled at the end. As you can see by the photos, it was all held together with a hairnet and a thousand hairpins, at least. I think it turned out really lovely and was absolutely thrilled to have my hair done by someone! I love the old style to it and the hairnet:)

It was a really nice and relaxing way to spend my day, getting pampered and all. A real treat! Not every day I go get my hair styled by someone.. More like never! Haha Might be more often now, as Miss E needs to practice;)

I felt like a real diva on the tram, all the way back home! With my handmade, little black and white birdie fascinator, from my Birds Nest collection peeking out on the side. Looks rather comfortable up there, doesn't he? lol





Going Los Lobos

Yay!! Guess what, I'm a very happy girl reporting back to you guys:) My little trip to Los Lobos on Thursday went really well! She loved all of my creations and will be taking all my hair pieces in and some of the jewelery to start with. So happy, scared and excited at the same time! Somehow it feels like it's less responsibility to only have my own store to worry about. Now I have an obligation to deliver to someone else..

But it feels HELL so good:D For those who don't know the shop, it's a really popular rockabilly/retro shop in the heart of Grünerløkka. A vibrant and young part of town. They have many regular costumers, with people passing by and popping in every day. It will be a great place to not only sell my creations, but also get some exposure. I'll just have to concentrate on making and the creative prosess of it for now. One step at the time, I'll get all the pieces in the puzzle together in making my store and my brand! Excited, to say the least!!

Hopefully you can see my creations, among the other yummi goodies they've got on Los Lobos, in not too long;)

Summery Creations

The last few weeks has brought promises of spring with it.. Today we even had thunder weather here in Oslo! That's something we haven't had for a while.. Also the birds has been singing and the sun has been peeking out for several days. Getting me in mood for spring and giving me some inspiration for more summery fascinators, with soft, happy colors and pretty flowers!

My latest fascinator, is the first one in my spring collection. I ordered up a whole load of yummi, summery spring flowers and will be ordering even more! I've been playing around with them this week, teaming them up into lovely little hairpieces.. Hopefully I'll have time to finish a few up before the end of this week. That way I should be able to show off some stuff to the girls on Los Lobos pretty soon.

All shown with a dotted, cream hat veiling that can be removed..





The two last two were done with more of an autumn feel to them, as that's what I had to work with.. But I think they can be worn any time of the year, just depending on what you wear!



I'm playing with the idea to add a needle behind the small fascinator with the yellow bird, so it can be used as a broche.. What do you think?

Sunday Crafting

Part from a beautiful walk in the snow, Sunday was also spent by my work desk. I finally had some time to sit down with my crafts, it's been my bad conscience for a while now.. But with needle and thread and bent over tiny jewelery parts, I was working on my jewelery and hairpieces all evening. I was able to get through quite a bit and it's all starting to take form. Very satisfying to see that my "baby" growing and getting some flesh on my ideas. As I'm working new ideas spring to my mind, it feels good to be using my imagination.. It feel like it's what I'm supposed to do. I mean use the vivid imagination which I was born with and do something creative with it...

Here's a little taste of what I've been working on.. I'm dying to show off my jewelery designs, but I think it's better to keep it a little secret till the shop and everything is getting more ready;)

The Mad Hatteress...

I've been working on the design for a small hat fascinator to my costume for some days now, to give it that mad circus feel... I decided to give it a go late last night. As my man said, there's not really that much time left, I should really get started! Hahha I've just been focusing on this tutu skirt I'll be wearing, so many layers and i don't have a sewing machine.. Which means i need to do it all by hand. Yaiiiks!! Have to say it puts me off a bit:/ But I'll need it, so better get it done.. Today, or maybe tomorrow.... *Cough*

The hat project on the other hand was a joy to make!! I used a couple of hours on it and it really turned out great! I used a few different items I have laying around for my hats, fascinators and jewelery line, which will be started up soon. I'm really pleased with the design of it, and I think it will fit perfect with my costme this year..:) Can't wait!!

You see a few photos of my new hat fascinator below, what ya' think?
