We´re leaving the cousins, my parents and Gästrikland for this time, it has been a nice stay.

We are now heading back home for a couple days. Next trip will go south, to skåne.



This new handsewn book 'Toppushoppu' (Topshop) by Japanese photographer Miho Miyachi looks good to me.

Another cousin.

- I am!
- No I am.
- I am the blueberry king!
- No I am!

Two of the kids fought today.

But then one of them (Otto) got two Muskies and became the fisher king instead.

I don´t have a tatoo, and I don´t plan to get one.

But if I ever change my mind I sure will look in this embroidery description book for ideas.

Love the travel poster and the park pattern and the (earlier) zig zag pattern.

I like being the driver.

We´re home a couple of days before we go on our next trip, up north again.

Yesterday we did a plate wall with some of this summers vintage finds.
My favorites (except from Lily Scratchys big plate in the middle) are the two plates from Form Teknisk / Norway, which I found at Plastac.

Also, we (me and Tovalisa) had fun drawing two own plates with a porcealin pen.

And, we´ve done some hand printing on textile! I´ll show you later on.

Some of you comment and asked about the screen printing technique (not the potato print)
in my last post. Here are two good links:

Inside weather.

We´re planning some hand printing and reading this (old swedish) book "Trycka för hand".

Lena Corwins book, Printing by Hand is probably a very good alternative. Must get it.

Some of Stina Wirsen´s illustrations reminds me of Helga Henschen´s illustrations.

Our last beach days this month? The weather reports says so, hope not.

Another flea find, this old beautiful binder full of needle handwork descriptions.


Lazy Oaf´s tribute to Michael Jackson, the t-shirt.
