Old news!



These newspapers are real ones from the late 1800 and early 1900. I made these as a commissioned work. You can actually read the newspapers and magazines because I printed the inner pages double sided. I aged the paper and the result looks quite authentic old paper.

I think these magazines and newspapers came out great.

Retro rug

I found this funny instruction how to crochet this retro rug in true scale. But unfortunately, as you may know, I don't know how to crochet. I knew that Sari is an excellent knitter so I decided to ask if she would take a challenge and try to crochet the rug in miniature size for  me. 
In my opinion the rug is perfect and it fits my Lundby retro house excellent. She also made tiny potholder to match the rug and perfect turquoise woolen stockings. I sent for her some groceries as she wished, a newspaper, domino-game and porcelain cutting board.
