I cut my hair short again, such a relief! I was getting really tired of styling the long hair.
The amazing dress is from Vivien of Holloway. It makes me feel like a girl from a vintage Frederick’s of Hollywood ad :)

I thought I’d show some pages from my scrapbooks. I have three so far (all too big to fit the scanner I’m afraid) plus a box full of unsorted clippings, and here are some pages from scrapbook number one.

I used some of my huge collection of “filmisar”, old movie star trading cards, to make refrigerator magnets. I’m thinking of making some more to sell on Etsy.

Macarons and tea we bought at Ladurée. I really liked the red fruit, raspberry and chocolate macarons but wasn’t all that fond of the other ones I tried. The Marie Antoinette tea is great.

I just got back from a short trip to Paris. I went mainly to se an exhibition at Versailles, which I posted about over at my 18th century blog. I did have time for some other stuff as well, like visiting a Barbie exhibition at a doll museum, and doing a bit of shopping.

Tiger cage
I’m really proud of the fact that I drew that tiger completely without reference (except for the stripes). I usually have to look at reference pictures to draw most animals except horses and cats.

Tattooed lady
Well, it’s actually not so new. I painted it on the cover of a Moleskine notebook when I was in San Francisco last summer and I just found it in my drawer and decided to scan it.
