Christmas: fashion, food, flatlays and what I got

Dear Santa, can we negotiate? 

Well, with lockdowns, the government trying to cancel Christmas and all sorts of madness, I have tried tob ring some cheer in my life by dressing up, doodling Christmas outfits in my sketchbook and making flatlays. So here we are are, with 2020 Christmas fashion, food, flatlays, art and what I got (which is all the way at the end with a handy video if you just want that)!

Cursed Christmas: an air kraken story

A little while ago, a challenge on instagram popped up called #cursedchristmas2020. 
Whilst I didn’t have the time to make 6 pieces of art on such short notice, I did have time to shoot some flatlays and make a little set of of photos featuring Candy Cane the air kraken. 
So here it is, my contribution to Cursed Christmas. 
If you like what you see, please give these photos a like on the gram, also :). Much appreciated!

Travel Magic

Photo of the day: 28.11.2020 

Travel Magic is another interactive book by Insight Editions, but nothing like The Gryffindor: Courage journal (read more about that here). 
No, this book has very little text, but is a beautifully designed little treasure book nonetheless. 
It's strenght is in it's graphics, focussing on most every year of Harry Potter's education at Hogwarts, and all the little bits and bobs you find throughout. 
Watch this youtube video to see what exactly you can find in this book, because photos just can not do this justice. 100% recommend!

Of courage and other things

Gryffindor: courage journal 

A while ago, whilst browing Book Depository, as one does, I stumbled up on 4 upcoming edition year long journals with writing prompts by Insight Editions, all house themed. I figured they looked really nice, so I preordered the Gryffindor one. And whilst I'm on the subject of Gryffindor, I'll also cover a few other house themed bits I used as props for these photos, after I'm done talking about the journal :).

The day-by-day contents of three different advent calendars

Photo of the day: 21.11.2020 Photo of the day: 29.11.2020 

Normally, Bert and I don't really bother with advent calendars. 
He's never had one in the past, and I have had a Star Wars chocolate one years ago that my dad bought for me. It probably wasn't very expensive and whilst the chocolate wasn't amazing, it was actually alright. But not so good that I could be enticed to buy myself a calendar in the following years (dad had the same one and he never bothered buying anyone another so I think he really didn't like the choc haha). 

But this year, with 2020 being the absolute dumpster fire that it is, I ended up buying three advent calendars.
