Welcome to my site! I work as a costume-designer and an artist, and creating, or ARTING as I prefer, makes me happy! This is both a portfolio of things I´ve made and a blog meant to inspire.

two light towers

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

A couple of light towers painted with acrylics. One a miniature of 4×4 cm… The second one is in a journal I need to send on. As you can see, light-houses and -towers are on my mind

The mariner pilot

Friday, May 4th, 2012

This little painting in my journal is inspired by some of the stories I´ve been reading about the brave men and the tough women living by the sea. One of the most dangerous jobs one could have was being a pilot, helping ships and boats safely through unfamiliar and dangerous parts of the coast. It´s [...]

Memory-mini-book-pendant-art-entries

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

Ok, I have to share with you one more inspiration-post before I get back to my own work. These are new little treasures in my memory-art-mini-book-pendant-necklace. Some real goodies in there! First off is a man with a serious haircut by the one and only Tracy Moore! Then a sweet summer-girl by the one and [...]

Artfes-trades and inspiration

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Presenting a few of the best trades I got from the kind & talented people at Artfest. I´ve placed links to everyone that has a web-site, so you can check out more of all their wonderful creativity! Linda Abbott, my friend from Canada, made this journal, in which I placed a lot of my flat [...]

Mexico – travel journal

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Here are some of the pages in my art-journal. I usually have a handy sized travel-journal with me, but since I was going to ARTFEST, I thought I´d just use the same journal. I did use mainly the same travel-arting-kit though, with water-color and a black pen. A little gel-medium to use as glue in [...]

Artfest 4

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Photo-shootin´ with the girls: Kate & Michelle & me in a mutual shoot-down Tyler and Voyager. Isn´t she a beauty in all her withered copper!!! See the whale? How cool is that? Art by accident or divine intervention? __________ I´ll have to do a fourth post from Artfest when I get home. To show you [...]

Artfest 3

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Third day, third workshop, even more intensely exciting than the two first ones. (I did remember to take some more photos this day, though) Me and teacher/artist/ICEresin-inventor Susan Lenart Kazmer. The class was called Transparent text, and we worked with ICE resin (which I´ve been curious about for years). And as if that wash´t exciting enough, [...]

Artfest 2

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Second day at Artfest I took Lorraine Reynolds´class Books Unbound. Guess what. It was so intense and so fun, I totally forgot to take photos! I did make two covers, this is one of them; a tribute to my Grandfather. He was a welder at a ship-engine factory, and my Dad just gave me this [...]

Arting at Michelle´s day 2

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

A new day at the top of the stairs. All the coolest Arting-ladies around came! Lulu working on her amazing trades. Can you believe, she´s making no less than a hundred dolls, and these still have loads more embellishment to come. She is just crazy cool! The never-resting Deirdra with her beautiful porcelain-like dolls. They´re [...]

These past days I´ve been framing and packing, getting ready for a new big art-delivery. And spending time with my new nephew.
