CLOSER LOOK

Some additional photos of my little paperdress. Because I've worn it so many times, the edges of the collar part has turned a little brown, because of my make up, haha. 






Today I realized how bad my english has become due to lack of speaking throughout the last three years. It's really frustrating to me, because to be honest, I wasn't so bad at it when I graduated high school. I figured that watching english movies and tv series won't prevent your brain from forgetting the words and grammar. And don't even get me started on my french. There's nothing left of it apart from bonjour and aurevoir.
I think I have to consider a language stay in the future, to refresh my speaking ability before it even gets worse.

PAPERDRESS

I made a top out of paper at school this week. I'm not hundred percent sure about the outcome. I wanted it to turn out quite fitted, but it's a little hard to make paper work as fabric. I really like how it looked in the beginning, when I only attached the shoulder part to the middle section of the whole thing. It reminds me of origami which continued to be my inspiration throughout the whole development of the dress. I might have to lose the braided part at the collar, my bf said it looks like something the women in the middle age would wear, which is so typical for him to say. 
I wanted it to be something I would wear personally, but now it looks like something a pregnant thirty-eight year old swedish person would wear. I think I'm being a little hard on myself, keeping in mind it's just a dress made out of paper.

THROW BACK

I found some old pictures I made one year ago (back then I made a post with some other photos that I made on that same day). These photos really make me want to go to the forest again for another shooting. I think I've mentioned this before, but I just think that there is something so intriguing and magical about the forest. It's a nice place to be .. just not at night.




 I searched through tumblr for some further inspiration.

LIGHT AS AIR

First post in 2013! I'm working on my art portfolio and I made these photos this morning. I played around with the exposure time on my camera and I used my beloved Paint Shop Pro to change the color scales. You can't actually see it, but my left half of my mouth and nose were and are still completely numb from my dentist appointment this morning. It feels so strange when I touch my mouth, like it belongs to someone else.
