new work: wall collages and bundles

bouquets: rediscovered

When I was cleaning in my studio the other week I came across this from a collection of bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres I made for Linnea Carlson (my cousin) and Thomas Stafford's wedding, now almost two years ago! The majority of the the materials used to make these were repurposed belongings of theirs. Some curtains, computer wire and pieces of a kimono were used for this foot long bouquet.

Specks and Keepings shop is up!

the last Puss Fust

Was just revisiting some past projects and came across some photos of a performance/installation piece I did at Open Space Gallery in Baltimore for the show Puss Fust, an all ladies performance/art show etc. festival. I rearranged the objects and furniture in a small room I constructed on a continuous loop, working from left to right. I can't wait for the next Puss Fust which I have been told is coming this summer!

Lily Oswald of Sorrelli Jewelry in Kutztown, PA, interviewed me about ANSCHTECKA for Berks County Living Magazine. "Green Fashions: Annika Blomberg's accessories line Anschtecka" will appear April issue to release on the 1st. Thank you so much Lily for the opportunity and for drumming up old memories of my childhood creations!

Starting the beginning of April my close friend Hillery will be opening Specks and Keepings: The Shop. Inside will be a collection of various artists' works, apparel, accessories and objects for the home all curated by Hillery's personal style and vision. We are very excited for this new endeavor and I am positive it is just the beginning of another one of her inspiring projects. Fun for me is that she will be including accessories, jewelry and backpacks from ANSCHTECKA, my accessories collection made from repurposed fibers and notions. Pictured above is the Rose Dress by rebe, and my Braided Spiral pins and necklace. www.specksandkeepings.com
