Beaded Logo for Palografen

crayoncrisis — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:44:07 +0000

Another meditative beading project – this one for my friends at Palografen. 1512 beads make up their company name and logo in red, grey and white.

Christmas Gift Name Tags

A series of name tags made with blue, purple and brown textured cardstock. Hohoho.

Black widow web design

My new mascot and the name of my business. Sort enke is Norwegian for black widow. I needed a break from messing around with my company’s website — beading to the rescue.

Perhaps I can use it as a door sign for a future office?!

One Million Giraffes

Jørgen doesn’t believe that his friend Ole can collect one million giraffes by 2011. O ye, of little faith in ze intertubes… of course he can!! I drew one and here you can see my giraffe.

You should make one too! You can create your giraffe(s) in any way you like, but not on a computer.

Welcome to a new crayoncrisis

This is post #100 here at crayoncrisis.com and it was time for a relaunch. My blog has been wearing a simple, modified White as Milk, but is now all grown up with a brand new theme of it’s own. I’m not quite finished with it yet, so bear with me if something looks wonky. I wanted to publish now anyway.

Thanks to Rashid Akrim who made this handmade font for me to use. And he made it for you too! So download it now and play around — like I did in my new header.

I have been using this blog for almost a year and am getting more comfortable with making and posting my stuff. Which means that from now on, the comments are turned back on! Feel free to comment in either English or Norwegian — I would really love to hear from you.

Fiskegrateng

crayoncrisis — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:47:21 +0000

A typical Norwegian type of gratinated fish with macaroni and béchamel sauce.

I’m a bit annoyed that I’ve been buying this frozen for years instead of making it myself — homemade is so much better, cheaper and healthier – and not hard at all.

Splatter

Gunvor has drawings of drunk women in one drawer, fish in an other and wonderful ink to play around with in a third. I borrowed some of it…

Bead Bugs Greeting Cards

What to do, what to do, when you have loads of bead bugs lying around without a mission.

«Jag vill knarka!»

crayoncrisis — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:33:10 +0000

While some people are amazing at filling their Moleskines, a single page is a victory worth a blog post for me. This is a legendary quote from the brilliant Swedish movie «Fucking Åmål» by Lukas Moodysson. (Note to self: it’s time watch this one again.)

Weird Words from Bergen

crayoncrisis — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:30:45 +0000

Bekkalokk is a very typical word, meaning the manhole cover for a sewer. In the rest of Norway, it is called «kumlokk». Kjusa deg is an expression from Bergen meaning «lucky you!», that might not be understood in the rest of Norway. Plukkfisk is a traditional everyday dish from the West Coast of Norway, a kind of mashed potatoes with fish. Yummy! Rævadilter is a small kid following after older kids, also used officially as the lowest rank in a buekorps.

I made a batch of postcards out of these.
