Blog
Here on my blog you can follow my adventures and journey as a makeup artist and mask maker. I aim to update this as much as possible, ideally I would love to update it every day, but since I am working a lot, and away working on various projects every now and then I do not always have the time to update it every day, so bare with me. I write about makeup and hair jobs, processes of creating masks, I upload music videos and films I have worked on, events I attend or will attend or about my job when teaching makeup, competitions and events I attend. If you have got any questions for me do send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Also, feel free to comment on my posts and updates!

A while ago I worked with fantastic musician Per Jonsson, AKA Preybird. www.preybird.com
I created a white feather bird creation for a photoshoot with Preybird, this creation was for the cover of Preybirds new album that soon will be released!!! I also worked with great photographer Tobias Linderholm on this photoshoot , check Tobias blog out here http://tobholm.blogspot.com/
Here are a few sneaky prieview photos from the photoshoot we had and the mask I created! I will keep you updated on when the album is out and available for you to get your hands on! I have worked with Per Jonsson before, I created a black Preybird mask for him to wear, so it was an honor to be able to create a white piece for him this time, a female version. I cannot wait to see the result of it all!

Snyggt, och snygg design på nya webben också!
Right!!! I have to show you this one as well, a competition in Sweden, where you can win one of these awesome stunning looking leather Jackets from Jofama, a competition organized by Plaza Kvinna. www.plazakvinna.com
I have entered, and I am so keeping my fingers crossed to get my hands on the jacket called "Hanna". Just adore it. I know it would fit me, my style and looks! Spring is coming, and what better to celebrate that than with a new leather jacket?
My leather jacket I bought as a gift to myself 3 years ago, when I turned 30, got stolen last year. I have been on the lookout for a new one since then. I was so upset when loosing my jacket, and really miss it. I loved it.
Both of these Jofama jackets are stunning, but "Hanna" is the one I would choose, if I had to make a choice.
Check the jackets and the competiton out here:

I've entered a competition to win a fantastic Kit of Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oil products!
I enter varius competitions, depending if the products or prizes that are up for grabs are something I really like. Then I share it here on my blog, for you to take part in the competiton too! Now here is a competition I had to enter, cause my favourite products are up for grabs!!! Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oil Product Kit!
Tea tree oil products are one of my favourites ones. I travelled for a year in Australia, and I always had various Tea Tree Oil products with me in my backpack. I used them to treat sunburns, sore lips, cuts, insect bites, sore and cracked feets...
I use tea tree oil products here in Sweden too, for the same reasons. Australian Bodycare Tea Tree oil products are just oustanding. When working as a makeup artist, I tend to keep tea tree oil products with me, and this kit would be awesome to get my hands on!!! I suggest you check it out!
If you want a shot at winning this competition too, you can enter it here: ( Mind you, it is in Swedish)

At the moment I am really busy working on a "Secret Project". I cannot tell you what it is or show you any photos until the entire project has been given the green light to go official. But this much I can tell you that I am part of a creative team and we are about to build and create something VERY VERY BIG. Well, this project is by far the biggest thing I have created. It is massive!!
At the moment I am working on a prototype in paper mache and I will hopefully finish it soon... fingers crossed we will also be able to reveal all details to the public soon so that you can follow our journey and the progress and process of this project!
Well, I will now fetch another cup of coffee and keep on working on this model... I need to get it finished!
Have a awesome day!

For this painting I used my skills as a mask maker and created a latex mask to integrate with my skull artwork. This painting is for sale. Uploading prices to all my artwork for sale shortly!

The kids show called "Mytologerna" which I was working on last autumn is airing every Tuesday now in Sweden, 19.20 Swedish Time. Previously I uploaded photos of "Tomten", and since then "Älvan, Mylingen & Näcken" has aired. Tonight another episode coming up on URplay. Not sure which one, but there is 12 of them to come!
I will edit some more photos of all the characters, but at the moment I am too busy working with various "secret to be released soon" projects, so I simply don't have the time. I have got so many photos from the show, and it takes a long time to go through them all. Well, here is a link to where you can see the show, mind you, it is in Swedish. All makeup, mask work and hair design by me. Had a blast working with the team behind this production...
Näcken- " The naked fiddle player". A myth and legend in Sweden..:)

Website; For such a long time I have been meaning to work on updating my Shara Creations website, but I have been too busy working and have not had the time! I am working full time with my Shara Creations as well as running my Skulls And Bones Artwork. www.skullartistry.com
Anyway, this Shara Creations website of mine needed a new look, updated work cv and a better way to find things I have created/things I do or can do for you as a private person or for your company/production. So Fredrik Fernlund, my IT-guru and technical right hand took the matter into his capable hands and updated my website!!!
Fredrik has been and is awesome to work with, he has set up and helps me with all my Social Media platforms, websites, marketing, launches etc Much appreciated since I do not heart technology too much, and I love the new look on my website!
So Thanks to Fredrik my website is now easier to browse and has got better usability, e.g divided into chategories, more photos of my work, text and information, videos organized, CV updated, behind the scenes photos, links..etc. And I will now be able to focus more on my work, what I do, update my blog etc instead of thinking I have to update my website. !!
Sometimes you just wish you had so many more hours in one day... as you probably wish too:)
Trolska Skogen: Yesterday I was out working on a photoshoot. I did makeup and hair for Trolska Skogen in Mellanfjärden. Trolska Skogen is a paradise/ fairytale land for youngsters and entire families! Here you can enter the world and woods of goblins, elfs, fairies, trolls.. and make the fairytale real!. I really do recommend you check it out and come visit them this summer!
I am also working on another project for Trolska Skogen, a project I will tell you more about later.... Tonight I will start working on planning this project and trying out a few things..

WOW! Så vansinnigt snyggt. Jag bär aldrig annat än fuskpäls och har funderingar kring fjädrar. Har du koll på hur det går till?
Yesterday, the first episode of "Mytologerna" was aired. I worked on this show doing masks and makeup. Here is the first episode, in Swedish though...
Here is a link to the episode : http://urplay.se/166843
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Igår sändes första avsnittet av Mytologerna. Jag jobbade med makeup & mask på alla karaktärer i detta tv program. Här är nu första avsnittet, tomten!
Här är länken till programmet : http://urplay.se/166843

Här är min synopsis till bodymakeuptävlingen. Här är även en bild som jag har fått av en vän som kom och tittade på tävlingen. Det kommer fler bilder som den proffessionella fotografen tog, men dessa får jag senare på en CD-skiva. Vill ni se fler bilder från tävlingen kom då med i min facebook grupp Makeup Artist Shara! Där finns ett helt album!
The midnight sun never sets - Synopsis
My vision of what I'm about to create is inspired by the ancient cultures of Mesopotamia, their godessess and their spiritual world. My creation is to be performed augmented by the song Shandar by Leo Flavum. Shandar is Summeran* for "night shadow"*, an implausible occurence in theory, but who knows what might manifest itself beneath a midnight sun? This is what I intend to depict with my creation.
My design and body makeup is meant to symbolize the power play between Darkness and Light (the two forces that can't exist without the other). I envision the enigmatic, dancing shadows in the bright wondrous blood red shine that comes of a midnight sun. My design is meant to evoke a sense of mystery and mysticism; an ancient godess visiting our time for a brief moment draped in shadows which, in the ambient light of the midnight sun, brings forth memories from time long gone. The godess and her spirit awakens.
My ideas concerning coloration is biased towards coal, ash, black, fire, blood, red, shimmer, gold and orange. I wanna give- and create a sense of something beautifully bright while at the same time reflecting the combined poignancy and bittersweetness of the dark.
My presentation will take 2 minutes and is to be presented along with a verse of the song Shandar
Summeran is an artlanguage created by Leo Flavum based on the now extinct languages of Akkad & Sumer
Shandar
Shandar na
Lost the count
Of all that we've been through
Talon heart
All light upon
The darkness in you
Sun retreats into hazy lore
Peoples fate by itself distorts
Walk with me as the night comes forth
Coming forth
Silver strings through a raven's hair
In your dreams I still be there
You call to me as the coal is glowing
Meld with my fire
Silver tears through your raven's hair
Crimson dreams, awaits you there
You call, I answer the coal is glowing
Meld with my fire
