Hej hej!
Last week of november. How did it even happen?
The stores are filled with christmas things and I am starting to realising that it's soon time for me to attend the big christmas fair in the mall Nordstan here in Gothenburg. I am going to be there a few days during the week right before christmas so that's great! Really can't wait, I feel even more excited about it this year!

My etsy shops are stocked up as well and I thought I'd offer a christmas sale for you all. If you use coupon code XMAS13 during checkout you'll get a whopping 20% off your purchase!
A great opportunity to buy some really unique and artful christmas gifts.

Here are some jewelry that I've listed (or re-listed again after the big re-vamp) recently in the shop.

The same coupon code is also valid in my photo shop Close to the eye.
Just write XMAS13 in the box for Coupon code during checkout.
You can use this code until december 15 in both shops but if you want to be sure to receive your purchases before the holidays you need to place your order before december 9!

Lets take a look at three photos you can find in my photo shop.

Today I picked up a large package with my photos printed on canvases. They look so very beautiful! It will take a while for me to list them in the shop though because I need to mount them first but I will most surely have them for sale during my days at the christmas fair in Nordstan.

If you are interested in buying mounted canvas photos from me and don't live in Gothenburg or even in Sweden you are welcome to send me an email to lottalosten@gmail.com. I'll do my best for you to receive the canvases before the holidays!

Hello hello!
Yesterday I went into the bathroom as regular Lotta and came out a while later as some kind of Rita Hayworth-y type movie star from the 50's.
David was going to help me take photos of my new Tangled Triangle Necklaces and I had a clear picture in my head of what I wanted it to look like. One of the things I love with this necklace is how it's both asymmetric and sort of fancy looking. I wanted to make that clash the focus in these photos. Glamorous events meets abstract sculptures meets wild and uncontrolled parties. Bring on the make up, the red lips, the black velvet and the wavey hair. The photos were to show just enough of me to create a feeling for the photo but mostly focus on the jewelry pieces in all their glory.
I really like how these turned out and I hope you like them too.

You can arrange the necklace differently by attaching the chain anywhere you want to on the necklace piece.

All of these necklaces and a few more will be listed in my etsy shop over the days. The first one is already there if you want to look closer at it.

Hej hej!
I'm having a few days of working from home wearing comfy clothes, drinking lots of tea, making jewelry and almost never leaving the couch. I have been dreaming of this the last week or so, just really wanting the calm productiveness that I need to have in my life.
Today David helped me with taking some really cool photos and I hope to be back tomorrow with a big post showing you what I've been up to.
Until then, here's a Two Two Two for you!

Two views from close to my work that made me stop and snap a photo.
The first one was taken one early morning (after a night shift at my job at a group home) when I almost missed my bus because of this photo and the second one just before a work shift in the afternoon when the sun painted Gothenburg in silhouette.

Two photos of a necklace in progress.
The first showing a half finished necklace held over the table filled with tea and stuff that I need to work, and then the second photo is of the almost finished necklace piece.

Two of me wearing the very first of my Tangled Triangle Necklaces.
The first photo was taken the day after I made the necklace and the second one was taken today during the photoshoot I talked about earlier in this post.

I have been editing photos today and I really can't wait to show them to you! But not until tomorrow...
I can tell you this though: it's going to be quite dramatic and Rita Hayworth-y.

Yesterday I sat down in my couch to make a necklace. The only thing I knew was that I wanted it to be quite a statement piece. A large necklace and preferably with an intriguing shape. I started off with a vague idea but changed my mind completely when I saw what I could do. I really love to create jewelry like this. To just see where it ends up. To surprise myself with the result.
And gosh, I'm in love!

The Geometric tilt necklace is made by only ONE unbroken wire (as most of my jewlery) and as you can see this is one intricate piece of jewelry. It took me many, many hours to work out the many twists and turns.

One of the really cool things with this necklace is how you attach the chain to it. You can actually decide for yourself how the necklace is going to hang by locking it wherever you want to in the intricate pattern it's made up of. Isn't that neat!?

This way you can change the look of the necklace every time you wear it to fit the neckline of your clothes or just the mood you're in that day.

I am so stoked with how this turned out and I am going to have so much fun creating lots of new, different, necklaces in this style. So stay tuned, the shop will certainly see a lot of these in the near future!

What do you think, dear friends and readers?
