Designing for Mariassmycken.se

Mariassmycken.se makes beautiful beaded jewelry, such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets and other accessories. I get to be the photographer, and also recently designed the logo, I'm currently working on her official website that will be up soon!

In the meantime I definitely think you should check out her Facebookpage HERE! 

All of her creative necklaces can be ordered in different colours and model variations, and she also makes custom works! :) See some examples below;

Working with horses

Today I had a job interview, quite far from here so it almost took all day. The job was related to Icelandic horses, and they seemed really nice and so on. However.. I've always thought it would be best to work with something else, and keep horses as a hobby only. Or, more like a goal. This both because I'm afraid that I would loose interest in riding and horses a bit if I begin to see it as work. And as a "goal" I mean that the reward will be greater if I've really worked for it. I believe that the day I can manage to have a horse on my own, it will be worth more to me, than it would have if horses were a part of my job.

I believe I've made the right choice. Studying to become an Illustrator and Graphic designer, good enough to one day afford to live as I dream to, with a horse of my own, and more.  

My boyfriend gets along so well with the horses -especially old Smári- that he too wants to spend more and more time with them, and even study to become a farrier. So I don't think it will be a problem to keep horses close in my life, regardless of how much time I spend studying/working.

New buisness cards

For the past three days I've been trying out designs for my new buisness cards, since I realized I'll be needing some for the christmas market (and future jobs!). I had a hard time deciding on whether they should look more professional and buisness-y, or creative and decorative.. but I think I managed to create something in between. Now I've finally ordered them!

What do you think?

Last week of october

In case you happen to live in Sweden, and have no plans for Halloween, I think you should pay a visit to Kolmården Wildlife Park this week. From 28th october to 1st of november "Halloween på Kolmården" will include spooky musical numbers, creature-safaris and much more...

And I will be one of the ghastly creatures haunting the park! See you there~
