AppleDress

In the Christmas vacation I started making me a new dress, but haven't finished it yet though... It needs to be finished for summer!

 

Gingerbreadhouse

I've been drawing a display box for my card game. It will have the shape of a gingerbread house and house 18 decks of cards.

 

Christmas Socks

I'm all about Christmas now. Listening to Italian pop songs (which in Iceland are Christmas songs! The same songs with new lyrics) I finally finished my 3rd pair of mini candycane socks. This pair I gave to my newest uncle, Völundur. He seems happy about them.

Hrefna Rún (the mother) took the two last pictures.

 

Piparkökukleinur

Earlier this month I hosted a card game event in SPARK gallery. I made hot chocolate and gingerbread for the players. I made the gingerbread in the shape of "kleina", a twisted doughnut Icelandic grandmas are famous for, with a convenient kleinu-wheel that cuts the whole shape in one go. I call the cookies piparkökukleinur. They were tasty. 

 

Cookie Jar RULES!

The Rulebooklet for the game is ready!

Creating Clay Cakes

Last evening I created some cake earrings from clay as a prize for the Karolinafund that is starting later today!

 

The end result are these four types of deliciousness.

Cookie Jar pro-printed prototype

Now I've just picked up a prototype from the local printer. I wanted to see how the colors and pictures looked printed from an industrial printer (not an office printer) and on both sides. I like it!

I can now use this prototype for the video and other photographs for the game ;)

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

I don't really know when or how I got the idea, but suddenly I had a prototype of a game in front of me. It was a remake of a game I love called LoverLetter. My game is about Icelandic Christmas cakes and cookies and the goal is to find the cookie thief. Here is my prototype that I have been carrying around to make my friends try and brainstorm with me.

Clay Miniatures

I love everything out of scale, either miniature or giant. I realized not so long ago that all of my earrings are in fact an objects, often a tiny everyday object, like a bubblegum dispenser, spoon or bag of popcorn.

I bought some fimo-clay earlier and thought I could make some earrings for myself. This is what I did.

Graduation Cake

I love baking. Yesterday I made these cakes for my boyfriends graduation :)
Chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting and homemade Oreo-cookies.

Adventure painting

I'm going to start a blog right here and now, focusing on stuff I like to do. Yesterday I painted figurines from the board game The Adventurers: The Temple of Chac with my good friend Auður Ösp. It was fun.

Here is the result.
