Gothy plants

Aug 3, 2014 in Home and My photos

We got some new plants recently, and since I want all my plants to look like something out of the Addams Family conservatory, we ended up with the gothest plants in the plant buying place.

These two are the very gothest of the lot, black and purple! I put together a suitable display for them and put my Coven painting up on the wall (still for sale, I’ll just switch mine for a print if someone buys the original). This is actually the first time I’ve had one of my own pictures up on the wall since we moved here.

The one on the left is a Peperomia and the other a Calathea (which moves its leaves around like crazy, sometimes it’s much more spread out).

New prints at last!

Jul 13, 2014 in My art and illustration and My photos

I have finally invested in a fancy new printer and can make prints again! Big ones as well, A3 size.

First one up is Conservatory. Available at my Etsy shop now.

If you’re interested in a specific print, don’t hesitate to let me know, I will keep all requests in mind when I decide what print to make next!

A follow up to the harlequin post. I bought this perfect 60s mohair sweater with a harlequin pattern recently and I love it.

Old photos

Feb 28, 2014 in My photos

Nostalgic old photos time! I really regret using digital cameras so much at this time since the quality and resolution was so terrible. Even more stupid was using webcams to take photos, those photos look so tiny and grainy these days that they’re not even worth looking at.

Many photos by Liselotte Eriksson.

A few naked ones so not quite safe for work!

Antiques fair

Feb 19, 2014 in My photos

We went to the Stockholm Antiques Fair again this weekend. I found some great stuff that I will probably show later (or you may already have seen it if you follow my Instagram), including an early 60s suit and a dramatic 40s hat. Here are some photos Henrik snapped with his Iphone!
