Goth Martha Stewart doing some easter crafting

Ohh, I love doing crafting!
My husband have said I'm like a transsexual man, but a woman. Does it make sence?
I'm so in love with glitter, make up and sparkly things I should make a hell of a tranny, and I do think I am a tranny at heart. So, when it comes to crafting I just bring my inner tranny out and dive into the sea of glitter.

My easter crafting.

I had to make some new sugar eggs and hearts because my dad fell in love with the ones I made before and took them all home with him. So cute!

I made a faux sugar egg.

Cut out the panorama window (remember: a goth should never use a razorblade without supervison).

Paint it white, then paint it with glue and roll it in sugar.

Inside: paint it in pink, then with glue and sprinkle it with fab pink glitter. Glue the egg together. Put in some moss, cut out figurines and decorate it with royal icing. Ta-daa!

 Admire the cut out chandelier I put in. My rabbit is kind of upper class ;)

 My white rabbit is two mirror images of a sweet little bunny, cut out and then glued on both sides of a cardboard paper. Glue the sides and dip it in glitter. Make it stand by adding cross sections of hard paper.

 A close up on my real sugar eggs i molded and then decorated with royal icing (make a bunch of icing flowers and put in a jar to always have decorations ready. Lasts a year).

The blue rabbits are made by making a boll of royal icing. Let set for a few seconds while you add an edible pearl as a tail, then make a ball as the rabbits head. Quickly press down a white sprinkle heart as ears and a smaller pearl as the nose. Paint on the eyes with black caramel color or melted chocolate.

 My baby chicken is made out of marzipan, have a golden pearl as a beak and painted eyes in caramel color. What is it with small things that i so fascinating? For me it is the feeling of pretending I'm a giant!



More stockings!

As most girls I enjoy a nice package.
I got me one today ;)
Another cool stocking to put in my upcoming webshop. It's already-done German stockings!
I just love that now I can be lazy, and still have ripped stockings quickly in the morning, but with a bit more organized holes, more prep!

These can be worn at any parental meeting any day.

Modelling Naucler Design

Today I modelled Naucler Design latex hats. Here's a sneak-peak!
Pretty little thing, right?

Another Birthday party for Fairlight

Today I had 8 kids running around.
Fairlight was having an Easter Birthday party, where everyone was dressed as påskakärringar/easter witches.
It was a fantastic party! I know I was beaten and half dead after...just as it should be!

Synthia was at a friends Birthday party prior to this. She looked so cute <3

Fairlight even celebrated at daycare this Monday, and had these cupcakes and cookies with her

For God's sake I hope it's the end to Birthday parties for a while... OH NOOO! It's my husbands birthday the 21'st of April.

When will this madness end?!!!

Picture of the Day

I got a mail from photographer Jan Blok of Holland with a picture from last years M'era Luna today.
Oh, how I long to the M'era Luna festival right now. I even long for my sprained ankle I'm desined to get.
-What! Who? Me? Naaahh, I never get tipsy in Germany!

Happy in my pants

The postman made a ding-dong on my door
when I opened up I found a package on the floor

The package made me drop my pants
faster then a rocket scientist could nail my aunts

My legs got squeezed real tight
and I'm ready for a party all night

12 of these will go the the webshop
but I want them for myself, I can feel a tear drop

It's the lovely stockings I have drooled over.

Right now I feel like Gollum and wanna hide them all in my grotto, and have them all, just for me..

Oh yeah, look how proper I was at todays lecture about social media.

I'm very fond of wearing big bows around my neck, almost as much as I love pearls, rhinestones and lace.



Old picture of the day

At Depeche Mode, Stockholm, 2001.
With my super cute friend Jennifer <3 She is just too hot!

I even got a backstage pass that day and accused Martin Gore of stealing all my clothes! He had a good laugh and talked for a while *whiii, starstruck eyes*

And - no - I didn't go there like this, it was in the middle of winter. I looked like this on arrival. And yes, I made the long skirt and the jacket myself.

Blond hair makes me stupid(er)!

When you bleach your hair to make it blond your hair becomes like a drinking straw. And this is how you become stupid - the brain cells are just pouring out through the holes (and it takes a blond girl to come up with this idea). This is why you should always color over the white with some color fast like hell to lock the brain cells in.

I'm now suffering from bleaching stupidity.
I'm getting dumber by the minute.
And my make up skills seems to fade, I just can't see the fun in doing my make up anymore, since it doesn't look as good with plain, boring, white hair. (I love other people in white hair, but I just can't see the same beauty in me having white hair).

Just look at me from today. I had a no make up day today, I forgot I had a parental meeting so I had exactly 24 minutes before I had to leave home. 22 minutes doing make up, 1 minute hair and 1 minute clothes. And look - it's a disaster! No wonder I look so pouty on the pictures. White hair is like a blank paper. Nothing. Inspiration is gone.
With white hair; no make up skills, and with lack of make up skills follows bad taste in clothing as well... HELP!!! Where's a jar of hair color when you need it?!

Gothic item: fishnet pantyhose

One of the first items bought as a little aspiering goth was a pair of classic fishnet stockings. They costed a small fortune back in the days, but it was worth every penny. I did everything in them, and I mean EVERYTHING! We were the best of friends; laughing and planning for world domination. Then the bitch left me for a pair of PU pants..

The classic fishnet pantyhose is a must in a goth girls wardrobe. Always start out with a classic pair, then add some with bigger nets as well.

if you get a hole in them, just transform them to German stockings (it's what me and my friends calls ripped stockings)

if you get a hole in the groin, just do as we all do: cut off the feets, put your head through the groin, in with the arms in the legs and the waist below your breasts. See, even (I assume: rich) Lady Gaga does it. I think goths do it better though..

AND - you are never bored with a pair of fishnets ;)

Kitchen crafting at easter

Yeah, I know, it's not easter yet, but I always start early.
Fairlight's birthday party for grownups was today. I've done some baking and schmaking.

Made some sweet pink sugar hearts and sugar eggs for my dads coffee

 Chicken cookies, fried eggs, carrots and pink rabbits on the cake and my super-scary goth centerpiece ;)

 made a bunch of cupcake toppers as well. I snatched my favourite; white rabbit with black bow

 the cake is filled with whipped cream mixed with creme fraiche, icing sugar, orange zest and fresh strawberries. And nutritious carrots and tender rabbits on top.

Fairlight's actual Birthday is on Monday, so she will be celebrated once more...

Making marzipan chickens

Fairlight turns 6 on Monday, so I'm up to my lace gloves in flour, powdered sugar and butter. I will make 7 different kinds of cookies (it's a tradition in Sweden).

I have made a bunch of cute little chickens to decorate some cookie or perhaps the cake with. Usually I like my chickens dead and on a plate, but this is kind of fun to. Pip piiip. It will make me feel like a giant when I crush them between my teeth. Mo-ha-ha-haa!

Gothic item: fingerless lace gloves

Notice: wearing lace/netting gloves will not protect you fingers from blood when you cut people open (as most plain people think we'll do). I still recommend you to wear latex gloves for this kind of hobby. The lace glove is for decoration only.

One day you wake up and decide to leave the cornflake eating, Nike wearing and fake smile world to become part of the wonderful goth side of life, where fibres, Demonia shoes and black lipstick smiles will rule your world.
To portrait yourself as a gothic person you will need some basic things you just can't do it with blue jeans and a flower decorated cotton shirt.

One item is the fingerless gothic lace gloves.
There are many different styles to it; for example the more Lolita, the basic and the old style elegant (I also know there are big differences in what contry you are from). I'm mostly a fan of basic goth and old style elegant. I like it quite plain so I can wear lots of jewells :)
Have these

and similar

from Dark Destiny at etsy.com

I'm extra fond of this kind, with half fingers. It's hot!

I'd buy it in a second!

Totally my style <3 My fav in the bunch

Todays make up

Today I've been black, white and grey. I only spend 40 minutes doing my make up and hair in the morning, so this is all I come up with on an ordinary day.

Easter on etsy.com

Soon it's easter, one of those fantastic holidays that involves killing people. It's also a big crafting holiday. I've started on some faux sugar eggs.

Don't forget those wonderful crafters at etsy.com.
If you are no good at crafting, and rather sit on your own hands until they are numb and then put them in a mixer than sit down in the company of glitter, paint, scissors, ribbons, bows and lace you can just buy already made things that also looks fantastic!!
And if you are sneaky (like we all should be) just say you made it yourself when old grandma Henny asks about the admirable center piece. Works like a charm!

Cart Before The Horse $90

And to remember this fantastic man who suffered on the cross to same humanity (to have something to feed on), the first vampire ever - Jesus, you might consider buying this fab jewellry.
