Wedding and vacation!

My recent posts have been a bit uninspiering perhaps and the reason for that is that I've had so much on my mind. I'm getting married to the best man in the world next week!! Never in my life could I imagine what a huge project it is to get married so that's why my blogging has been a bit sporadic recently :) So now I'm taking a couple of weeks of to travel to the most beautiful place on earth and then return to Copenhagen by the end of august as Mrs Busk ;)
See you soon!

I'm sorry but I don't know where I found this pic. Shout out if you do!

Friendship necklaces

I'm still here, just super busy at the moment :) Right now I'm in the middle of planning something really big and I'm super excited but a bit stressed out. Thank god I have the best friends in the world to help me out!
Remember the friendship bracelets? I used to make them when I was a child, but forgot how to. In case you did too, here's a tutorial.

Beneath still waters...

This is an illustration I made recently for the swedish magazine Aluma. I wonder if I will ever grow tierd of putting noses on things.

Lines or circles?

During the course I took at the university this spring one of the supervisors told me that my working process propably was circular and not linear. This was great news for me who always had to force myself into that way of thinking and always struggeled to follow the process they wanted us to use at the Danish Designschool. I kept loosing track all the time. I never even gave it a thought that my process might go in circles by constanly coming back to the same thoughts and adding more and more to it as the process goes on. Such a relief to find that this way is just as ok as the one we worked so hard to get a grip of the whole first year at school. After making this discovery I probably need to buy me some new notebooks. I am guessing they might look a bit like the bottom one here:

The cool kids

I grew up on the countryside on the island of Gotland. The small country store where my family used to go to buy food was one of the kind you hardly ever see anymore, where you could buy everything from screws and wellies to lipstick and milk. I got my first ever wrist watch there, with big numbers (my mother insisted) and a red wrist band. You had to wind it up every morning. I was six years old and so proud. Happily unaware of that the cool kids in town wore swatch watches. I sometimes wish I was that kid again.
The little store definately closed down five years ago and that summer, when I visited my parents, we went there to kind of say goodbye to an era. I bought the coolest digital watch ever. It had been hanging there since the 80's and it could play seven different tunes, the same kind that the cool country boys wore and drove the teachers mad with back in the day. It took the old man who owned the store half an hour to put the battery in, since his eyes were so weak.
As you can see I'm feeling a bit melancholic and very nostalgic today and I'm seriously considering giving up this city life.

Sim sala bim - super slim house!

The 2,4 meters (or 94.5 in) wide home and workspace of architects Pieter Peerlings and Silvia Mertens (Sculp(it) architects) in Antwerp, Belgium. Obviously they are not very concerned about their privacy, I would feel a little exposed living like this but I really like the idea of making the most of what you have, and their take on what you can do with small left over spaces in the city. Probably a great way of showcasing their work too - they display it and live in it at the same time! Found here!
