Shimmering.

My friend Jenny is visiting me now. We've been walking mostly in rain this weekend but today the sun came out (inbetween even more rain). My camera lens is quite old and I love that it can have reaaaally short depth of field and make the world almost shimmering in light!

Double exposures.

All beamed up!

I was taking photos of a new necklace pendant today and all of a sudden a beam of light touched the vintage crystal. It looked almost like a cyber connection of some kind. I laughed at my thought and took plenty of more pictures. Sometimes all you need is an unexpected beam of light!

You'll find this Necklace Pendant in my shop.

Heidi Braids, a frame and some jewelry.

Had a mini photoshoot today in my livingroom and my kitchen. David was taking the photos and I was modelling. It turned out like this:

 I also took some close ups on the Triangle Pendant that is all new in my shop today!

Most of these made it to my etsy shop but we also took some more pics that I think looks fun but doesn't really work as jewelryphotos. Like this one:

A glimpse into my livingroom.

 A few weeks ago I got to roam around in my grandfathers storage room where he keeps all his paintings. He has been working as an artist all of his life so there was a lot to choose from. I took the three paintings you can see in the picture above that show ships at a shipyard, and another one that is hanging on the other side of the wall.
I really love how it turned out. It's a strange thing, me and my grandfather is not the best of friends but I really admire his work and feel a strong connection with his art. I have noticed that my own inspirations are similar to his; both of us is drawn to the rugged and worn, the beauty in the unperfect. So even if we as persons don't get along our creative sides understands eachother perfectly.

A plate filled with small treasures found in nature and thrifted. I've made the plate myself a few years ago.

Glass marbles that I found at a flea market that I'm going to use in my cage jewelry.

The loveliest place for a cup of coffee.

A few days ago me and David went to Mandelmanns trädgårdar. They have a lovely green house where you can sit and have a coffee and a cardamom bun. The lovely hills that I have shown you earlier belongs to the Mandelmann family but everybody is allowed to walk around there.

The green house from the outside. Let's go inside!

So beautiful!

David tried the smoldering look.Doing fine with those eyebrows, don't you think? :-)

This leaf mesmerized me totally! Like a piece of atumn in the middle of the green summer.

 In the other green house with the gorgeous smelling tomato plants!

 

And then we took a walk in their beautiful flower garden. I already long to go back!

A goodbye to the ocean for this summer.

Yesterday we walked by the ocean, collecting branches and dried plants. We sat on top of the old stone fortress and watched the sky and the water almost melt together.

I think I might have broken my "new" vintage film camera. I know the film inside would have been perfect! Feel really sad about that.
When it started to get chilly we walked back to the car. I was barefoot and had to be very careful not to step on the discusting slugs that shared our footpath.
Today we went back to Gothenburg again. It feels really good to be home. Our home.

Ps: The tote is from Fieldguided and has a lovely Kate Bush quote on it. I love it because it fits all my thrifts and when I needed to be barefoot in the sand it contained my shoes as well.
