at home

the first day since months.

at work as well but at home and with her. L. is still renovating the caravan every day. it should be finished by the end of the week, hopefully we will spend the weekend in it at the lake!

-----------------------

her new obsession, they call it scoubidou.

todays fake blood and drama.

what keeps me grounded, knitting on set.

hope you have a good sunday!

heatwave

yesterday i came back home, welcomed by an incredible heat.

we went straight to our new place at the lake, i took my first bath this year but the kids were living in the water since days!

i am still adjusting, it has been crazy up in the north, traveling, preparing, shooting and not much sleep.

more work and trouble back home but i am so happy to be back with my family.

more from finland soon.

magic creatures

and many mosquitos

beauty

i discovered this beauty early this day at a shop where they are making coats for us.
it hung there, meant to be admired, it wasn't for sale and i completely understood why, it made me remember again why i am in love with textiles which i could easily forget a couple of days before shooting.

tomorrow i will be leaving to the north of finland.

happy and sad for the obvious reasons and because i really, really do enjoy the heat we finally have here now.

le weekend and a monday

under the trees near the lake where the girls were fishing clams we ate the same evening, our new-old caravan will be standing for this summer.

a mongolian girl dancing for her best friend, a birthdaypresent at a party Lou attended too.

a tamed and sweet monster

the last dress so far, handdyed, handmade, handpainted.

turbulent weeks, i would like to have a little bit more quiet time, like so often.

( ((o)) )

we have been working hard with the color concept on the costumes, so many things to consider, many opinions to be brought together and everything had to fit into the script that plays with timelayers. it did'nt worked out as a whole story but there is still some swimmingpoolblue, curry, turquoise, tired tearosepink and red in different shades, now embedded in more neutrals.

i hope we found the right solution and it's not another compromise.

+ + +

we decided against the summerhouse, the neighborhood wasn't perfect, it felt like an bungalow in an allinclusive hotel but L. bought an seventies caravan yesterday. it still makes me laugh that he really did that, so we now own a small mobile summerhut, it just has to be customised he says!

i just found this beautiful picture via here.
it captures exactly the look i wanted to create, i guess i am not over loosing so much color or maybe i should relax and add some more accents after the stormy discussions finally will have cooled down.
