Corsets, fishnets, fake dreads, music.
Unintentional cuteness, semi-artistic skills, head full of song lyrics and foreign words.
Memento mori and the macabre.
You can call me Anna.
A Finnish milliner blogging alternative fashion, beautiful headwear, macabre artwork, random things and the occasional Michael Jackson.
I also run a store called Cobweb Millinery which specializes in alternative headwear. You can check out the store on Etsy or by clicking here.
I took it as my job to take pictures of Ankhs when visiting the Neues Museum in Berlin.
“The Ankh, also known as key of life, was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read “life”. It represents the concept of eternal life, which is the general meaning of the symbol. The Ankh appears frequently in Egyptian tomb paintings and other art, often at the fingertips of a god or goddess in images that represent the deities of the afterlife conferring the gift of life on the dead person’s mummy. Additionally, an ankh was often carried by Egyptians as an amulet, either alone, or in connection with two other hieroglyphs that mean “strength” and “health”.”
