As some of you pointed out I did indeed get a perm, although it’s been 3 days and it’s starting to straighten out already. I’ve been straight my whole life and this was meant to be a bit of an adventure, but the happy phase is rather short-lived and from the looks of it I’ll be back completely by the end of the week…SIGH. Whatever, I love my men straight hair.
What a waste of money though, must retry when I get back to London.
So a wizard tells me that she’d personally include something organic between the geometric structure and what will I do, disobey the wizard? Pfft, absolutely not. So this is my second attempt, I do realise the rocks look like massive chewed gum in the photos but that was as organic looking as I could go, with the limited choice and all. The irregular shape of the rock made it quite hard to form a geometric structure around it and the weight kept unbalancing the whole damn thing – in the end I came out with something completely different from what I’d planned. So again, mucho respect to jewellery makers, you guys rock; no pun intended.
On my last day in Kraków I had a chance to meet up with Gabriella from Street Fashion in Kraków, such a sweetheart. We drank lemonade at an atmospheric cafe on Bracka street. The cafe had seats outside that looked like school tables where customers would sit alongside eachother and watch the passerbys, kinda like first row fashion show seats, and I’m thinking that’s how Gabi chooses her streetstyle prey.
The Kraków trip was a breath of fresh air; my favourite was the fact that the modern youth culture was completely embedded in the historical bits of the city, so you’d easily find a nightclub in a Polish townhouse of the 1500’s. Café’s are marrrveloos as well, they have this natural vintage den-like atmosphere that you can’t possibly create out of scratch, oh how delicious.
You know this was coming: YOU NEED TO VISIT KRAKOW. Capitals and all.
That’s how you cut stuff.
If you have any problems using scissors don’t hesitate to shoot an email and I’ll take you through the whole process – which fingers to put through the holes, how to do the up and down motion. It’s alright, others get it around age 5 but don’t feel embarassed to ask, I’ll be friendly.
Not sure why I photographed the process, and I promise I don’t think my readers are idiots – I just thought it’d be a waste to throw the photos away. So there you are, the easiest DIY you’ll ever see. Maybe I’ll do How to glue tutorial next time.
