Macarons [08 Jul 2009|04:40pm] Originally posted at my blog. We tried making our own macarons. Well, mostly Henrik. I just ground the almonds, piped out the batter and filled them. Most are filled with raspberry and blueberry jam, some are filled with lemon curd and some with white chocolate. They’re not perfect but next time they’ll probably be even better! Here is the recipe we used. ( More pictures ) You can comment at my blog or here. 10 comments|post comment

Ladurée [30 Jun 2009|06:15pm] Originally posted at my blog. 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.

Paris trip [30 Jun 2009|06:03pm] Originally posted at my blog. I just got back from a short trip to Paris.

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. Click the photo above to see some pictures from my trip.

New art: Tiger cage [16 Jun 2009|07:44pm] Originally posted at my blog. 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. You can comment at my blog or here. 9 comments|post comment

New art: Tattooed lady [16 Jun 2009|05:24pm] Originally posted at my blog. Tattooed lady Well, it’s actually not so new.

New dress on Etsy [08 Jun 2009|06:33pm] Originally posted at my blog. I just listed this dress on Etsy. I’ve had it for a long time and it has served me well, and before that it belonged to Liselotte. But I haven’t worn it in over two years now except to take that photo, maybe over three years, and I think it’s time it went to a better home. Click the picture to go to Etsy.

Twitter [29 May 2009|10:06pm] Originally posted at my blog. I’m trying out Twitter. I never really understood the point with it, but a while ago I found Dita von Teese’s Twitter, which I actually found worth following since she seems to live such a dream life. Anyway, since I got an account to follow her I thought I might as well try it out myself. You can find me here. You can comment at my blog or here. 4 comments|post comment
