Saturday, January 21st, 2012I was visiting a friend in Stavanger yesterday who guided me around on a little photo-safari. She showed me these amazing street art paintings / graffiti made by Canadian artists. I´m in awe! Both of the quality, the shere size, and the ideas. Enjoy! This last one is the lighthouse at Obrestad. I´ve heard this [...]

ship-building backstage
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012Being in Ulsteinvik I got the chance to look at one of the supply-ships I´m making art for, while it is still very much a work-in-progress. I find looking onboard these ships so interesting, and thought you might like a look too. This ship will be finished in two months, and it seems there is [...]

silk velvet
Sunday, January 15th, 2012Yesterday´s white-on-white fabric silkscreen print on silk satin in day-light. Lately I´ve taken a strong liking to creative projects that isn´t done in 30 minutes, projects that take days and weeks, even months to finish. I´m having a great time with my time-consuming crafts, but there is a lot less action for the blog. Future-evening-hobby-project-in-the-planning-alert! [...]
white silk satin
Friday, January 13th, 2012I+ve probably mentioned it before, but there is a lot of fabric in my house.

There are textile treasures I´ve found on my travels, others I´ve inherited, some [...]
