Eidesvik reception
Thursday, April 30th, 2009Eidesvik Offshore wanted to repaint their reception, and asked me if I could make something for two of the walls. So here is one of them, the other one is still in my head.

Banner-dragon
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009I´ve been working on the banner, and not been completely satisfied, but I realize that this is because I´ve only been working with the background, and it needs something… more!

Banner

Mariannes wedding dress
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009Here is a peak of what will become Mariannes wedding dress. The fabrics are silk crepe de chine and silk chiffons. And she made the glass beads herself! I always like asking the bride to contribute in the making of her own dress, and this is perfect!

Making lace fabric
Sunday, April 19th, 2009My friend Kjerstin arrived today, and I finally got started on her wedding-dress. She wants a white dress, knee-length, lots of tulle over the skirt, and over that a black peacock-patterned lace kind of dress. A very Alexander McQueen-inspired design. Sounds weird? Its gonna rock! A relatively big job, but who doesn´t like a challenge?!!
