New Jewlery in Part 3
Im moving in three weeks.
Not only me, but my child and husband as well. We took that decision, returning from my 8 month stay in Sweden.
We always knew that staying here in Prague was not really the ultimate thing.
So now the time is soon here. We're packing and selling and giving away and returning and closing and buying everyday. There is always something.
This means as well, that designing,and dos ome creative sewing is not really the first thing that comes into mind. I have as well packed down most of the things and my machines are out there, for sale.
Still though, I like to keep busy, keep the creative mind working is the best way for me, not to run out of ideas and inspiration.
So what can I do then?
I can create some moew jewlery. :)
Here we gor three more

This one looks very big but it isn't, as it's for my 4 year old child. :)
I got myself a new red necklace.
And this one I can't even take credit for making, this one was my little girl who made, with some small assictance from her mother.

New jewllery in
I've been very tired of hand stich beads in a pair of shorts I'm doing, so today I decided to do something else. So some new jewllery was welcomed in my jewllery box. I've been thinking of doing it the last like 2 years, so finally it happened! :D

Prague Fashion Week

Oh la laaaaaa!
Me personally don't really like the style that design has here in CZ but of course there is some exception.
And how I wished to have some tickets to go and see some of the shows, unfortunately I do not really have that kind of money...
But please, if anyone goes, åplease tell me all about how it was :)

Sadly I see that the quality of these photos are terrible terrible terrible!!!
But here you have a top I designed as well. It's a polyester fabric from the 60's I got from my grandmother. I do think I did a good job spice it up :)
The fabric for the arm, is a fabric I bought YEARS YEARS YEEEEARS ago and never really knew why. Well apparently it was already in the stars that this top should be made. I think it fits very well together. :)

Needfull skill
One thing that is a very important thing to be able to do, when I want to create my clothes is to sketch. I would say that it's not just for me that is't important but for most people actually creating something.
I suck at drawing.
Or at least I did totally sucked, until my husband gave me a "Fashion drawings for dummies" and I started to practice sketching.
I can't say that I'm very good at it, but it start to look like something. At least I start to be able to draw basic ideas and things I want to showcase.
Yuppie!

I haven't done nothing this last year. I've infact done a lot.
And here are some of the things:
The Wedding dress is sketched by me, but not really sewed by me. There where a seamstress hired for that task!
My little girl was the flower girl on the same wedding. So I made her dress as well. It is really so much fun doing these things :)

Cross stictch embroydery
It wasn't the easiest but not the hardest eatiher.
Doesn't look the best but I'm for sure hooked and need to do this on more clothes. The problem with this one was that I started six months ago, and the pattern I had was not very clear, and as it was such a long time ago that I started, I dodn't really remeber to well how it should look like.
But I manage to finnish, and now I'll need to find more clothes to pimp up like this!

Pulling the emroydery fabric out of the sweater.
My sheperdess and her two sheeps
Pretty flat hair, I think it was supposed to be a hat there, but the black and white pattern I had, was very hard to read...
A year has passed
And I guess I should have some kind of explination, or giving a big charade about it.
I can just say that the last year has been a mind and eyes opening year. It did make me understand things about me, and my surronding.
I got to understand that I'm not as good in some things that I thought, and there is a long way to become or get where I want to be.
It took me long time, but over the months, an determination has awoken and a real idea and plan is worked on. And that feels exsiting now. I know where I need to head, and I will do the best I can to do it.
I'm not where I want to be, I've got so much more to learn and figure out. But I'm on a real way and I just need to continue with my plan.
And here I'm gonna show that I'm someone.

Creativity
I’m looking backwards, looking the the memories and moments that has happened. I’m looking back to see who I was when I came here, and who I’m now, when I’m leaving.
I’m not raelly the same person in some ways. Prague has really given me all she could give to me, and it’s tome to find out what another place can give me.
But yes she has given me a lot.
It’s been in recent years, after coming here that I’ve been really exploring the creative vein inside me.
Inspiried by the place and the people I’ve met.

Inspiried by the place and the people I’ve met.
I just finnised painting three bags, and even more ideas came to my mind. I’m looking forwards to move to a new flat, and see how I can decorate it. Im excited my the pattern, to a pair of shorts I’m planing of making. As long as it has to do with being creative. Or being an artist, or being in somewhat cultural.
I went into a fabric store the other day and my heart started to raise. All the fantastic things that exists and all the wonderful clothes I could do with it.
AN ugly rag thirst, I’m looking at and wonder what I could do to change it, to be wearable again. Everything doesn’t turn out nice, or good. But more and more things does.

I’m getting more and more precis with my skills, with my ideas and my executions. Less and less sloppy, and more and more accurate.
It’s fantastic that I’ve explored this inside me, and I know that this must be my life. I get that it might not be the only thing I do, maybe a side job as well. But this is my life. In this lies my passion and I’m gonna read more, sew more, sketch more and practise more.

I’ve been so unsure of my own possibility. Scared that I’m not good at this, that I’m just a pretender. That how come would I know anything about being an artist.
But no!
No more being scared, no more feeling put down. No I’m not in near an expert in what I do. But I’m good and I got an eye for it. And the progress that I’ve done the last 4 years, when I started to explore this side in me is incredible, without even really work for it.
Imagine what I can do if I really work for it!
Imagine what I can do if I really work for it!

syrup!
We been out all day, picking the black surrant berries, they are so tasty as syrup and jam.
Itäs rather theraputic, connecting my radio and picking the berries. One bush at the time. Seeing how it slowly slowly grow inside the bucket.
My child coming with one berry at the time, adding to the bucket.
That is just peace.
