Another thing I spotted at Urban Outfitters, is this artwork by Kurt Halsey Fredriksen. LIKE IT! Couldn't pick just one out of all this great work, so chose multiple examples from his site...

Stumbled upon this via UrbanOutfitters.com, Cody Thompson make very nice rag dolls... Like it?

Doing mosaics - sounds dull huh?

Since a while now, I'm actively creating mosaic works. It actually started when I did a day's course with my mom one day. I thought: Hey, why not spend a day to learn this crafty thing? Then I noticed it was a good way to practice being a little more patient... And now I just love seeing the end results every time. Always a surprise to see what comes out of it.

I don't really like very colorful mosaic works, although I'm going to show you one I made below. This one is waiting to be given away to the right person. Mostly I use a lot of white combined with a limited number of colors, which makes it a lot more stylish I feel. I'm currently trying to build up a little 'stock' to maybe develop this into my own little interior accessoiries sequence.

Will share more on my plans soon, but still developing them into something more concrete. Might be that I'm going to pick up my brand frunzel for this, you never know :)
