Rush hour

Okay, so neither Sigrid or I have been too active on the blog front lately. Too much to do, I guess. Spring is always very busy at work, and Sigrid have also accomplished to finish some rather heavy classes besides her job, and is now celebrating her achivements, -touring around in Europe.

Our Etsy shop has also suffered a bit under these stressful times, and sales have been a little slow. A lady on one of the Etsy forms said it well the other day; "to be succsessful on Etsy means you have to treat your shop as a business, not as a hobby".

But yeeey! We've been on the frontpage at least three times since last, and that's always very fun! And there's a LOT of beautiful jewelry in boxes just waiting to be photographed and put out for sale.. so drop in every now and then!

Others than that, (other than gluing) I am currently working with the scenography for our studio. Here's a miniature of the old one. Me and one of my co-workers made this one about two months ago, when it was a LOT quieter at work. It's 1:50. Hehe.

Commercial break

Last week Sigrid and I worked on a commercial film for the Norwegian lottery.
We did the set design, and this is how it looked like:

Sigrid was watching the monitor closely..

If you live in Norway, you'll soon see this livingroom during the commercial breaks. And if you're wondering who's steering the bird inside the coo coo clock.. well.. e-hem. It's me!

Welcome to the dollhouse

This is us. As a prop, of course. We made a dollhouse once, and made paperdolls with our heads on, as the dollhouse's residents. Check out Sigrids' (left) biceps!

Prop of the month

I'd like to start different sections in this blog. One of the few things I know about blogs is that they have different sections, or chapters, or themes, if you like.. I do not read a lot of blogs. Sigrid DOES. A lot.

So I was thinking about these sections, and the first idea that sprung to mind was "Prop of the month"! I, and occationally we, make props for childrens TV shows, and it's so easy to forget about the things you make once you're finished making it.

So here's January's Prop of the month: I giveth you the Søplesorteringsbord! (A table that you are surposed to recycle your garbage in, and if you've recycled something right, a green light is lit, and if you've done it wrong.. well.. it's red.)
