listening to CDs in the kitchen i always brace myself for the ad between songs but then it just keeps rolling. skipping around how i like without interruption feels heavenly. we're in such a commercial angst prison that books and CDs are luxury now 😭

If you get into white work embroidery, you might discover cutwork. And when you start doing cutwork, you might get curious about incorporating detached elements. And before you know it the fabric is gone, you are making needle lace, and there goes the rest of your week.

Buttonhole stitch - not even once.

Let’s talk about all the sneaky photos and videos people are taking of Connor and Hudson.

Take a moment to imagine how they might be feeling about the invasion of their privacy and the violation of their basic humanity.

Not getting it? Recall how you’ve been reacting to all the stories about women unknowingly being filmed with meta glasses.

Still not getting it? Think about how you reacted to Hudson being hounded and filmed against his will by those paps in Paris.

Are you getting it now? How invasive it is? How wrong it is? How dangerous it could be?

Connor and Hudson deserve to be able to walk down the street without unknowingly being filmed or having their photos taken.

So, if you see them out and about, treat them like the humans they are.

If you want to say hi, fine, go for it, politely.

Maybe even ask for a picture, but be respectful if they say no.

And stop taking pics of them without their permission.

Really Big Coin Skrekkøgle

This is our Really Big Coin. It is big because it makes other things look small when photographed next to it. Actually, it is a 20:1 replica of the EUR 50-cent, you see it being milled out here. We needed to do quite a bit of sanding, lacquering and smudging to obtain the desired look and some climbing to get into required shooting position (you need to get up real high to take good pictures). The result is a short series of photographs, attempting to visually scale down real-sized objects.
