Nice blogs: Danish & crafty

Here are a handful of Danish blogs I like. Some of them are in Danish, but pictures speaks for themselves, no? I hope you visiting them!

Challenging creative space

My creative space today. I am working on a muslin for a shirt for Tony. I took apart one of his old shirts and copied it. The going is quite slow, but I guess it is to be expected; I have never made a garment before.

I really want to learn to make clothes, atleast to some extent, so I figured I might as well jump headlong into it. Lots of fiddly little bits and pleats and seams that seem to defy logic. Maybe an A-line skirt would have been a better place to start. ;-)

But hey, I like a challenge! If you have any shirt making advice, I would be ever so grateful.

More creative spaces over this way.

Colour boost

I have been looking for colour inspiration again. This time, instead of making coloured circles in Inkscape, I'm using my felt swatches. And I am not limiting the number of colours either.

It's a fun little exercise if you want/need to get ideas for colour combinations that maybe you wouldn't normally pick yourself. And you know me, I tend to gravitate towards happy colours, but that doesn't mean that I don't like other colours/combinations.

So it is also a very useful exercise to get you out of your colour rut! And maybe even more useful if you remember to take a picture of the picture/magazine page/whatever that inspired the colour combination... ;-)

I have a few posts like this coming in the near future. I'd love to see the results if anyone else tries this.

Criss-cross sky

Our view isn't really worth writing home about. Let alone write about on your blog. But sometimes the sky more than makes up for it. Like yesterday. Love vapour trails!
