Today´s monday snapshots is about making your own christmas decor. Last year my decorations looked like this, but this year I started twisting round circels of brass and copper wire and folding geometric shapes after I saw these cute templates here.

INSPIRATION. ___________ uh la la







Todays one pic is from the u la la studio in Copenhagen that belongs to the talented Danish ceramicist Julie Bonde. I visited her studio with Emma while we were working in Copenhagen and I was blown away by the beautiful creativity that both she and her studio radiated. Her work makes me think of nature and stones, and she has used nature as a reference point for the pieces, creating glazes and textures that turn them into large, but very tactile pebbles. Love!

DIY _______________ copper/plaster candle holder







For me candle holders are so Christmas and just the thought that it's almost Christmas makes me want to get/make some new ones. So after I saw this cool DIY that Ivania did on her blog with plaster I wanted to do a new candle holder for the Christmas with plaster instead of concrete. 
The mold I used for pouring the plaster in was just a shoebox cover and the copper tube caps for the lights are from a hardware store, but my previous candleholder that I did with hexagon nuts (here) could also work. All you need is,

/a shoebox cover
/plaster
/copper tube caps size 2,2 
/plastic wrap
/sand paper

/Cover the shoebox cover with plastic wrap to make it waterproof and to get the plaster out of the mold when it is dry. 
/Plan in advance where you want your candle holders (copper tube caps) to be. 
/Blend your plaster mixture and pour it into the mold. I used for this 9 dl plaster and 3 dl water.
/Press gently the copper tube caps in the plaster mix.
 /Let it dry for at least 2 hours. Use sandpaper to smooth the edges if needed.

Done!

My latest super simple diy -wall storage for small things was made of clear plastic cups. You don´t need any instructions, just attach the plastic cups to the wall with strong needles.

INTERIOR _____________ white retreat





Love this white minimalist 36 square appartment that is furnished with a few carefully selected objects; contemporary artworks, some books, and the owners record. And how the lack of views is compensated by silence and light
