i'm back from a wonderful weekend at a very small local festival - the red corner festival. of course it rained but on saturday the sun came out and the day became beautiful. WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER was basically the only band we watched, and they were AWESOME! favourite song: breekachu - they're crazy and one of the few bands that sound good although their lyrics are german!
the last part of my skull-jewellery-project, now i nearly used all the beads i got, it's awesome, i made five earrings, three bracelets and one necklace out of ONE SINGLE skull bracelet! well, i love the bracelets, i'm pairing them with my new feather bracelets, that i got from claire's on sale, 5 for 3€ -one of them actually had to die for that earring on the pictures..
some news: i PASSED the qualifying examinations for the akademie der bildenden künste -'art university'- in munich, so i'm gonna study interior design in october! i'm so happy, you can't believe it.. but that means i will spend my summer doing an internship in a joiner's workshop, i need that to be allowed to study there.. sadly that means again less time for DIY.. but i'll still have the weekends, so don't worry guys!
after some hours of digging through massive piles of sale clothes in munich, i found some really awesome stuff there, i love sale, did i tell you that? from left to right:
another one of my bleaching projects: acid washing a denim jacket. all you need is obviously a denim jacket or any other denim stuff, bleach and a spray bottle -such as empty bottles of beauty or hair products.
the acid washing itself is very easy: fill the bleach into the spray bottle and spray it onto the denim jacket. a very good tutorial you can find here. some tips: 
i'm going to customize it a little bit more, with some spikes on the shoulders and a UK-flag on the back! i just need to get those spikes to finish it, then i'll definitely show the finished jacket to you, maybe including some small outfit suggestions!
today i finally picked up the developed photos of my DIY pinhole experiment and i was really surprised that so many of them actually got quite good! i experimented a little bit with exposure time and found out that 2sec (1) or 3sec (2-4) are best on cloudy days, on sunny days i would go for 2-1sec or even less than 1sec if it's really bright -beach or sth- on really dark and rainy days i would go for 3-5sec. the last photo is -incidentally- a double exposure but i'm really surprised that this works with pinhole cameras, too! i think this super simple pinhole camera is just amazing, the quality of the pictures isn't bad at all if you remeber that this thing is just a cardboard-box with a tiny hole in it! try it out, it's so much fun and a completely new expirience in photography!
as i told you in my DIY skull feather earrings-post, i ordered some of those cute skull beads on ebay and ever sice then i try to make some jewellery out of them, whenever i find time.. i also ordered a spike necklace on ebay where i just took some of those spikes off to use them for my skull jewellery - and i can still wear the necklace, there had been a lot of spikes on it! so now i've made another two earrings and a necklace and i'm also planning to do some leather wrap bracelets, after that i'll still have some of the beads left -the awful yellow and red ones actually..- so i need to think about what to do with them! i'm in kind of a bracelet-fever anyway, i spent 2h today, collecting DIY tutorials all over the web and i'm pretty sure i'll try some of them soon and of course i'm gonna share them with you!
dropdead launched its summer 2012 collection a few days ago, not without having a huge 'summer meltdown sale' before, where i finally purchased the most awesome sweater - space donuts - ever, that i had wanted for months! -i just didn't buy it because it was too expensive; i love sales! :D i also love dropdead, so i picked my favourite items from the summer collection here, i love that stuff and i can't wait for it to be on sale! dropdead's awesome, but sadly too expensive for a small students wallet..
today i shortly want to introduce a wonderful german blog to you: wolkenleserin. i love her inspiring photography and her outfits, so you should really check it out!
what you need: some shorts, some bleach, an old bucket and some gloves
important information about bleaching you can find in my DIY bleached denim vest-post, and here's how to achieve the ombre effect:
i underestimated my bleach, since i used it with water last time and it didn't work so fast, so my shorts became pretty light.. actually i like that fact, they're just perfect for summer now!
