Decorated antlers

Yello folks :D
I don't think I ever mentioned it on here, but some time ago I bought a pair of reindeer antlers to decorate and use as a headdress. They have been sitting in my closet forever, but yesterday I suddenly felt like I should do something with them! I took some progress photos while working, so I can show you guys <3

 Here you can see the antlers before I started painting them. I've buffed them first to make them easier to paint and to get of som dirt. You can also see that the skull part is broken.

 Starting with a base layer og white paint. I'm using acrylic paint, and it seems to work well on the dry textured surface of the antlers. The paint is a bit thin though, so I had to do at least four layers before the original colour was completely covered.

After having gotten the antlers comepletely white I found my thinnest paint brush and started to make swirls and lines on them. I regret not making the tips gradiented, but other than that I'm pretty happy with them. I'm thinking of buying a couple of cheap pearl necklaces and some roses to decorate them even further. I also need a way to fasten them to my head, as a normal headband wont be steady enough. I have a smaller pair of deer antlers that are screwn onto a plastic headband, and they are very unstable and needs the wearer to keep their head up at all times.

Hope you find this interesting, and if you have any tips on sticking them to my head, I would be very happy to hear :D
Bye for now folks!

Being busy busy and Alberta

Long time no write :B

Schools been really busy lately, it's amazing how much shit I'm supposed to to in so little time -weeps- I just recently had two presentations, one in history and one in norwegian, both where really important for the grade in both sunject. History presentation was about a historical person, and as I love everything baroque and rococo, I had to choose Marie Antoinette :O It went pretty well, I would say, even if I started messing up at one part and acidentally cursed. The presentation in norwegian was one of the biggest tasks we get during our three years in secondary school, you pick a theme and make a task out of it, then you do tons of research and learn all the shit you can muster about your theme before you finally have your presentation. My theme of choice was 'children books', as I absolutely adore childrens litterature. So I read a ton of books, including some classics like "Alice in wonderland" and "Charlie and the chocolatefactory" <3

Anyway, I'm gonna post a few photos I took of Alberta some time ago! I hope you enjoy ;3

Because "no" means "no"

When men wont leave you alone.

I had quite a nice day today, spent it with some friend that I haven't seen in a long time. Being with friends in a big city is no problem, but after they had left, I decided to roam around a little on my own. It's not unusual for me to get approached by men, most of the time they just tell me they like my dress, some kind of simple compliment, and then they leave me alone.

Not today though.

This man started following me around inside a store, trying to converse about clothing, saying that I would look nice in some shirt. I had to tell him over and over that "it's not my style", "I don't like that colour" and things like that. In the end I gave up and let him buy a shirt for me. He talks extremely bad norwegian, I start talking english to him, he talks english a little better than norwegian at least. he now thinks I'm british, great, I can tell him I don't live in norway, I'm just here on a vacation.

The thing is, when men approach like this, they turn persistent, they wont leave me alone, and sometimes, like this guy, they start following me around town. He asked if I wanted coffee, or something to eat, or maybe some chocolate, and over and over again I had to tell him "no", "I don't like coffee, "I've already eaten", "I'm full" lying over and over, because I do not want him to buy me stuff! Then he started to nag me about my phone number. I have done the incredibly stupid mistake of giving away my number before, and then having them call me and send me messages, and then not having the guts to tell them to leave me the fuck alone.

He started stalking me down to the bus, because I said I had to go home. He asked if a wanted a cigarette, I said very sternly "I don't smoke.", he said he new of a good disco close by, "I don't dance," I don't party," "I'm not particulary fond of places cramped full of people." I start loosing my calm with him, because I just want him to leave me alone, but I don't want to be rude. He asks about my phone number again, I tell him I don't give my number to strangers, he tells me that he wont be a stranger if I get to know him more, I tell him no, again, and he asks why, and this is when I finally snap, "because NO means NO." And he just looks at me, he is shocked, but tells me ok, it's alright. And then I manage to shake him off in a small crowd.

And then I started thinking, because it's kind of been a long time since I last ended up in a situasion like this, and I wondered, what did I do back then?

I said I was going home to my girlfriend, I said I was a lesbian. Now I pretended to be some english way-to-good-for-you kind of girl..? Being a lesbian worked better.

But what then hit me was, why should I have to excuse myself? This guy is creeping me out, following me around, he looks like he is older then my father and is intruding my personal bubble. Why should I have to be nice to him when I have already told him no?

Winter garden

Hello!
Like I mentioned in my last post, there's a lot of snow here in Oslo, so I decided to go out in the garden to get some pictures of the cold winter.

 

 Uh, yeah, lots of ice and stuff thats cold |D And here's a bonus pic of my sister failing in the snow:

Christmas mo-ho

Late marry christmas everyone :D

I have had a wonderful christmas, or a generally wonderful december! And I hope you all have had a great time too <3

I'm in Oslo now for christmas vacation, and have spent a lot of time with my dad and little sister, and I have been eating so much food lately I think I might turn fat. There's also a shit TON of snow here, it goes all the way up too my knees! I'm not used to have a lot of snow, so it's almost exciting. Almost.
Anyway, I raked together some really sick loot this christmas, my dad gave me a camera, and I've been putting it too good use :D

 Look at all this awsome stuff! It's all so cute and pretty much useful in one way ot another <3

(hipster Kitty is judging you btw)

Here's the bracelet and some new gloves I bought!

 So perf omg

What kind of gifts did you get? :3

Brands that I like: Noa Noa

Heyo :D
Today I thought maybe I should write a bit about clothing, as I am looking for a new christmas dress.
While I can't find a dress I want, I have found inspiration for some post I could write on here :P

Starting with this one, brands I like: Noa Noa
This is a danish brand I think, and while the webpage I'm looking at right now doesn't have a lot of their clothing, they have a store here in Molde that I quiet enjoy sneeking a peak inside every now and then. Noa Noa's shit is expencive, but I would say their designs are worth it!

 This dress is really nice, I love the neck and the super cute puffy sleves <3

 This jacket, has a really original design, and I think it would look great with a belt or something!

 White on white whoo. This one is so awesome and would be great for layering :D

Oh look, a loliable blouse :D Wear a nice, puffy skirt with it DONE and it's not all that expencive either o:

 This top is really cute, and I think coording it would be no problem, you could wear it over a simple blouse, and with tights or a skirt. It would be so perfect for everyday wear <3

That's it for now folks :D Bye

Old stuff that I've made

Long time to see :D
So here I am again, and I am finally writing a proper post!
I found my old cell phone pictures, the pictures of some of the jewelry I've made, and I thought it was time to write a bit about them :3 The pictures aren't all that amazing, but it's better that nothing.
I was hoping to open an Etsy shop a beautiful day, but I haven't come that far yet, so I jsut sit around with a ton of jewelry that I won't use.

 A reindeer pendant made of silver, it was a task in school, and I am quiet happy with it :D 

The antlers were the hard part, my teacher was afraid they would probably break and that's why I incoperated the sami sun symbol behind it's head, my teacher loved it and my classmates semmed to love it, and I hope my friend who recieved it as agift loved it~

 This is a variety of hairclips that I've made, I really like the one with the cow button <3

 This project also started as a task in school, we were to create jewelry of things that weren't typically made to be  pretty, so I think I made three of these at school, but I never got them back, and then these at home.

 A bracelet to the left and necklace to the right. They are made of ribbon, beads and these little bottles that I filled with some white stuff~

 Everyone seems to like this necklace, but I'm not all that happy with it?

 A necklace (top) and bracelet (bottom) set, with maching key and keyhole :D

The bracelet is really large and falls of if i try to use it x3

 This is a double brooch, also with a key and keyhole, there's needles behind both the leaves :3 It's fun experimanting with pieces like this!

 A close-up of the brooch's keyhole

 Another bracelet, made of blue chan and random stuff, like that Miku x3 the little pink ball is a bell.

And this was originally a hairband, but the flower ornament kept falling off, so in the end I gave it up |: 

That's it for now folks, hopefully it wont take this long before the next time I blog :D 

Bye <3
