:: New pillow cover

This little guy is available at my etsy shop. I'm also working on new label tags using handcarved stamps. Here is a sneak peek:

:: I'm the great pretender (Part One)

Today: Afternoon in Tokyo.
If I was in Tokyo on this weekend it would have looked and felt like this:

Coffee here...


Shopping there...

Freaking out here...

:: From Japan with love

Under quite mysterious circumstances and after a two months odyssey I finally received my japanese crafting books. Just let me put is politely: The german post sucks.

:: Introducing Wolfgang, the Wolpertinger

It's growing steadily. Right now I finished Wolfgang, the Wolpertinger. First of the PARADISE LOST- An Animal Asylum of the Rare collection.
This limited line of unique embroidery illustrations stars animals with a mythical background like
the Dodo, Werwolf or Wolpertinger (Jackalope) on white and anthracite pillows.

So please meet Wolfgang, the last Wolpertinger aka Josef, the Jackapole.


He immigrated about 300 years ago from the Austrian Alpes to the States and build up under the name Jackapole a nice folklore tradition. As the Americans are great and naive believers of everything european, Wolfgang had a nice life. Including three secretaries and an electric mountain - whatever that is.
Now he seeks a nice quiet place for his Luis Trenker Collection and himself.
Adequate animal housing recommened.

Paradise Lost is premiering at Trendmafia and at my etsy shop.

:: Hello Harvest

The last september weeks were sunny and warm. Nature is a colorful palette of vivid yellows, fuchsias , reds and greens. I can't get enough of it.
To indulge my eyes in that feast I went to a farmers market at Wittenbergplatz, Berlin. It takes place every thursday.



Currently I'm obsessed with fresh figs. I like to toss them at salads or make a grilled goaty sandwich:
freshly roasted bread, spread with fresh goat cheese and top with fresh figs. Add some lemon pepper and pretend you're lunching at a bistro at Juan les Pins. With a beautiful seaview of course.

:: Silhouettes

I've always been a fan of silhouettes. I guess because of it's wee detailness. Here's a short collection starting with my art work.

Custom made penchants from Lucky Me Beads

This is a vintage frame from Highstreetmarket.

I think I need this urgently. It's somewhere at etsy but I forget where. Sorry!


This is actually a real silhouette depicting the Red One and myself. This method is called Scherenschnitt in Germany and has a long tradition. Usually you can find them a fairs and markets. It comes quite close to modern photobooths because it took only about 10 minutes for the silhouette maker to cut our portraits. And there is much similarity to the real ones!
