Other Art

Thursday

Today, the button thread necklace I made for Tovalisa, and two pics from 2002, with one year old Otto. And also, happy birthday Dennis!

Never tired of Rinne Niinikoski

Nostalgia 2

Been working far too much lately. Trying to get of the work train. A good medicine and therapy for me is this forum, so thank you so much for comment my posts. Other healing things is to be with family and friends, and also allow my self to absorb in to pictures. Pictures, drawings and photos, is my life, couldn´t live without them. These pics/album "The first years" is from 2000, with two year old Tovalisa.

Nostalgia

Became a bit nostalic when I saw this pram at my son school, we had exactly the same, Emmaljunga, for our daughter, 10 years ago... These days a couple (one of them tomorrow) of very good friends are gonna have babies, awesome and abstract. At the top some more kids drawings. I could go for hours studying them, some of them are very expressive.

Find some nice kids t-shirts and posters at Myrkott!

Daily views

The streets outside, and my untidy desk. It´s raining today, again.


What a great project this is: LINES & SHAPES!
Chech out a lovely wallpaper, Chinese girls, by Tina Carlsson.

ISBN 1-58234-226-1

One of my favorite books (borrowed from Moa): Björk ISBN 1-58234-226-1 You can see why. The striped book/magazine is also a nice piece, about nine young, swedish, emerging photographers: Bon Voyage! One of the contributers, Lina Hansson, a multi talanted artist and photographer has done Björks (www.bjork.com) webdesign, by the way.

Artworks

Kids art from my sons school. Early versions of this?

Laura Walker

She works with textiles and ceramics, Laura Walkers work makes me crazy happy! Webpage, flickr.

Interiors

A little sneak in to a very nice home/interior job I´m working on for Petit Magazine. I´ll try to remember to show you more when the issue is out. Another nice home is Kristinas, take a look here.

Sad Cowboy

A friend reminded me of this photo. It was a couple of years ago, I had just bought Otto that hat. He was so happy and wanted me to take a picture of him, full dressed as a cowboy. I was delighted (even if I disliked the gun). I was just going to take the photo when I saw something in his nose and wanted to wipe it. Tired and hungry as the cowboy was, he became angry and sad! Me? I took the picture.

Tradera

New therapy habit; browsing Tradera (web auction site). Would love to be the owner of these sweet hangers, and the classic Olle Eksell Kakao-poster. There are couple of more hours to bid on the hangers, more than a week on the poster...

White is nice

One day a couple of weeks ago I persuaded Otto to paint one of the walls in his room yellow. The same night I got stomach sick, and the morning after I just couldn´t stand that yellow color! From the beginning I couldn´t ask him to change the color back, so I´ve kind of squint my eyes everytime I´ve went in to his room, to stand the view. Guess if I I was happy when he suggested that we should paint the wall white again. I runned to the store, before he would change his mind. And also, this time I manage to persuaded my husband to paint some other walls white. Ah, that bright and light "color".


Emma did a nice association, Paul Klees hand puppets, with Ottos handmade charachters. Think I have to get that book.

Tight

Oh yes, I´ll show you the stuffed room too...

Theatre

Pics from a super show by Otto (dressed like a ginger man) yesterday.

Bright and sunny today, but freezing cold.

Empty rooms

Fixing some tired floor this weekend, the kids are enjoying airy spacing. Show you the stuffed rooms later.

Happy valentine's

Celibrating "Alla hjärtans dag" today with some Tovalisa and Otto-cookies!

Much of everything

More than we need, it´s obvious.


Siggi Eggertsson, colorful and nice graphic design.

Workshop 2

From the beginning they (the kids) had a lot of fun with the fake leafs and lawn, but after a week they were pretty fed up with all things all over the walls and floor, and told me to clean up. So I had too.

Workshop

Favorite waste of time for both of us – playing around with blue.

Kronobergsparken

Like these playground houses in Kronobergsparken/Stockholm. That castle would be perfect as a summerhouse!

Drutten & Gena

Happy day, look what I bought on Tradera, favorite characters from my childhood, Drutten & Gena (Tjeburasjka & Gena), all carved in wood! If you pull a little string Gena will open his mounth, and Drutten can wave her ears :)

Dogsocks

Hi there, I´m still here waiting for the worst river of work to pass by, longing for days with nothing to do...

Dogsocks: Wiells hörna.
