Sunday, June 28th, 2009Wine cork bulletin board
Saturday, June 27th, 2009This is my wine-cork bulletin-board that hans in my kitchen. I don´t drink a lot of wine, so it took me years to collect all the corks!

Friday, June 26th, 2009Here is a picture I made in 2002. It is all machine embroidery on silk. I made a bigger one for a ship, about twice this size, and took me two weeks straight of machine-sowing, 6 hours a day. (Except for the face and hands and gold-background). I had to take breaks so the sowing-machine [...]

a good day for a sea-horse
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Today I´ve been creative on so many levels. Painting, cutting and glueing. Experimenting with framing. Finding a home for my sea-horse. Planting a hedge in the garden. Making a info-poster. Making plans for a new commision. Blogging. I even made dinner. Twice. (Although it wasn´t all that fancy).
Don´t you just love days that are efficient?!
giraffes… and My wish for you!
Sunday, June 21st, 2009If you are a bit bored and want to participate in a little project: draw a giraffe, and e-mail it to here. This guy is trying to collect one million giraffes by 2011.
But no matter what you do, you should definetly check out Aimee´s site. She´s just finished a major job, making illustrations for the Duirwaigh-project. [...]
