DIY [Embroidered Notebook]
The spring and my boyfriend inspire me!
My boyfriend recorded some music for his new CD in February. We discussed the name and the design of the album a lot. One of the idea was On the wings of story. I liked it and I got an idea to create an embroidered notebook that we could photograph and use for the cover.
I am not sure if we will use it but it doesn't actually matter. :) I played with embroidered motifs and with colours and I created two more notebooks.
How to do it:
First of all you need some notebook. I bought mine in Tiger, 3pcs for 10 DKK. Drew your motif on the notebook. Make small holes with a pin in it and embroider.
Flirting with Photoshop
Yes, I'm flirting with Photoshop. It's an amazing medium. This is my first surrealistic collage, I have ever done. It's based on my self-portrait that I took four years ago in Prague.
Kind of Blue
Blue is nice. Don't you think?
I feel so relaxed today. The beginning of the week was crazy. My boyfriend recorded some music for his new CD. You can't imagine, how busy we were. (And we means he and me and nine other musicians and a sound engineer and a record producer and a film crew).
I spent the whole day with them in a recording studio. It was an amazing experience! Especially, the atmosphere in the studio was nice and friendly. I took care of catering and of course I took some behind the scenes pictures too. They just need to be edited little bit. But I'm going to post them soon. So stay tuned!
3x [Paper]
I got creative last night.
I was sewing,...
cuting out kirigami flowers,...
and making paper stars.
So, Christmas and a long winter may come now! I'm ready for them! :)

DIY [Mini Magnets with Your Own Photos]
I love taking pictures and I also love to share them. When I traveled to the Czech republic last time to visit my family and friends, I wanted to take them some small presents from Denmark. I decided to have fridge magnets made with my Scandinavian photos. But it turned out to be a really challenging task to find a company that could print magnets with different designs, and that were small. Most companies offer big magnets, which are quite expensive. And I was not so happy with the quality of the print either. So I decided to make magnets on my own.
I found the inspiration for the project on How about Orange. And I was surprised at how easy it is to make magnets without sending your photos to a printing office.
All you will need is:
- a photo with your images. (I printed several 10x15 cm photos with three sets of eight pictures. Each picture was 2.5x2.5 cm big. I prepared it on Photoshop but you can use any photo editing programme :)
- a piece of cardboard or bookboard (the thicker the better. Anyway I used the back of my A4 notebook, which I had at home. And it worked! :)
- a hobby glue
- a brush to apply the glue
- sharp scissors
- and self-adhesive magnets of course (As I don't have very good experience with the magnetic tape, I would recommend you buy some thicker magnets. The tape is not strong enough to hold papers on a fridge or on a magnetic board.)
How to do it:
1. Stick the photo with your images on the cardboard. Make sure it sticks properly.
2. Let it dry for a while.
3. Apply some glue on the photo. Spread it equally with the brush until the whole photo is completely covered and make sure there are no small bubbles on it. (It depends on the glue, but yes, it will be completely white).
4. Let it dry again. This might takes several hours! When the glue is dry, the photo will be clear again.
5. Cut out your small pictures and stick the magnets on the reverse sides.
Have fun!

P.P.S. I would be happy to see your creations! Send me a photo. :)
