In South Africa I fell totally in love with the willow seed pods lying around everywhere on the ground. They look fragile but are surprisingly sturdy and the shape of them are simply beautiful.
Immediately my brain started to transform it into a jewelry idea. I love the structural feel to it and even though it's quite simplistic it looks very intriguing.
When I got home I started working on my idea. I was pondering hard on how to make this work. I wanted it to be made by only one long wire, as most of my jewelry are. It took some time and some really bad solutions but then all of a sudden, in the middle of rinsing my hair in the shower, I had it! I didn't even give myself time to dry completely before I got to work. When you get it there is no time for anything else!
And here is the result.
The Willow Necklace Pendant.

All of these Willow Pendants will soon be listed in my shop.

What do you say? Perfect autumn accessory, right!?

I've added a few things in my shop today. Feels like it's been ages since I did that, I have been so busy with other stuff. But autumn is here now and I am excited to get back to business again.
Lately I've been working on a lot more colourful jewelry pieces than usual and I plan to make this autumn and winter more vibrant than ever! Why tone down when nature becomes less colourful?
Why can't we pop out a bit instead of blending into the background?

And also: FINALLY I've added the Larger than life necklace that I showed you a few weeks ago. An amazing statement piece, isn't it?

One evening a few months ago I decided I wanted to make something extra fancy. A necklace larger than any other necklace I've ever made. It was going to be spectacular, I said to myself.
Many nights later I was kind of pissed at myself for committing to such a large project but I kept on working and working and repeting over and over again "this is going to be my most pricey necklace ever, who will afford it? The Sultan of some far away country? Well I don't care I have to finish it!"
And I did.

The necklace will be listed in my shop in a few days for the price of $169 (1100 kr).

I sure won't make a lot of these babies but if you are interested in something similar I do take custom orders. But order early because they do take a lot of time to make.

Now I'm off to my second job but check back later today because I will show you all about my weekend at the Way out west festival!

I lördags var det ju à la London som ni säkert vet och jag var där med mina smycken och foton. Det gick så himla bra och jag träffade massa nya och gamla kunder. Var helt slut när jag kom hem sen och somnade i soffan med dagens kassa i ena näven och mobiltelefonen i andra.
David filmade lite på marknaden och satte ihop en finfin film som visar precis hur härligt det var.
