the wallpaper for mai is up on welovehandmade

you can donwload it for iphone and ipad too!

november started. and it’s already foggy out there. i’m feeling a little down, don’t know why because i had four nice days this long weekend. flea markets, friends, dancing, cooking and sports… all the things i like. maybe it’s just the weather.

anyway this is the new wallpaper, download it from we love handmade

i got bored with my desctoppicture… but it’s always so hard to find a perfect one. so i made one myself.

if you’d like to download it hop on over to we love handmade… from now on there will be a wallpaper every month! :) oh and there is a halloween special on we love handmade this week, everyday until the 31th will be a post dedicated to this special occasion. today and on the 31th is my turn… so stay tuned!

working on some things… one of those things was the new logo for we love handmade :)

i know watercolor became my thing somehow… it’s a custom made font. do you like it?

some time ago konstanze sent me an email telling me she found my blog and liked my stile… she’s a new jewellery designer from vienna who graduated this year.

i’m working on the business cards right now but i wanted to show you the different logo designs i made for her. she choose the third one. the original one is really colorful but i’ll show that with the business cards.
the colon was mandatory and it she wanted it to be somehow light, feminine and round :) what do you think?

if you’re a reader of my humble blog here you might know that i can’t hold still. i can’t just do nothing apparently not even just watch a movie by myself without thinking i could do something while watching… (which failed in the end but that is another story).

yesterday was the second day of my vacation and i had planned to just drink coffee read my books and let my mind rest… well this didn’t go well long. than i had the urge to do something and i did this ampersand lamp i wanted since forever! i had the supplies bought for weeks but there never was enough time left to start on this. so i searched the inter web for some helpful tips (i had a plan in my mind but you never know what other crafters might have experienced) and found something on one of my favourite blogs. what are the odds of that?… anyway, they basically did what i had in mind, only i used bobbypins to hold my cardboard stripes together ;) a girl knows how to help herself! in case the tutorial over there is to long here’s what i did:

print out your letter | put letter on foam core – cut out the letter | cut holes for the fairy-light into your foam core letter | prepare 5cm thick stripes out of bristol-cardboard | glue stripes to the edges – this was so messy – used bobbypins to hold the stripes together | let dry | spray paint all over it | ad the lights and your’re done!

so what do you say?

wohoo :) anna from fashioncamp asked me if i’d like to redesign their logo for this years edition! what do you think?

one of the v-day cards i made for this year

so i decided to do some graphic stuff on my vacation ;) this is an info graphic of all the skirts i sewed in 2011… wasn’t as easy as i thought it would.. but i still like it :) what do you think? zoom in for a better view
