Monday, April 16th, 2012I made a new couple (ok, 7-8) of miniature books. One with shiny, red snakeskin, and one with matte, dark blue salmon-skin, to sell in my Etsy-shop. So if you want one, now´s your chance! The inside of the skin, with glued down cardboard. I use acid-free book-binding glue. Each booklet has 22 pages, made [...]
Arting at Michelle´s day 1
Tuesday, March 27th, 2012The day´s adventure started in Alberta street. Meeting a bunch of other artists, some coming to Artfest, others not, but all met up at Collage, the art-store in the artsy part of Portland. Lunch with the arting-ladies! At the best home-made French food restaurant in Alberta. Portland is known as the greenest city in the [...]
1 – Advent calender booklet
Thursday, December 1st, 2011Our baby wanted a “Things-to-do-and-make”-calender this year, instead of a more common things-or-chocolate calender. So I made this little booklet for her. The cover is in hot pink silk dupion. And hidden in the soft spine is a little bouquet of mini-flowers. I simply glued down the silk to the paper in the spine-area, and [...]
Art & Soul journal
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011My journal from Art & Soul, maybe you´d like to see it? I got a free hard-board blank book the first night, and thought I´d use it as a place to gather my memories from Art & Soul. First day there was a 5 minute make&take in encaustic, where anyone passing by was allowed to try [...]
Art&Soul: Doll Booklet pendant
Saturday, October 1st, 2011A new day, and a new class. This time with the wonderful and funny Jen Crossley from Australia. This was the perfect class, so much fun stuff going on: filing, drilling, etching, adding patin, sanding, bending and stitching. Work in progress below. Though there was a pre-made design, we all added our own personal style [...]
Yet another calender-book
Sunday, September 18th, 2011Time flies. And once again it´s time to present a new calender-book. This one is also an accordion-book, I really liked my last one. The biggest advantage with it is that it doesn´t fill up uneven, breaking the back-spine. When it fills, it fills equally on both sides, and just becomes fatter. Very nice indeed. [...]
Half-time
Friday, July 8th, 2011I´m half-way through my accordion calender-book, and thought I´d share with you. It´s kind of a mix between a calender-book with a slight addition of art-journalling, and an inspiration-bank. And with plenty of notes and ideas of course.
business-card clean-up
Sunday, June 26th, 2011I have a drawer filled with business cards from friends, and acquaintance. Especially after Artfest, I bring home a bundle of delightful cards, each with information about blogs and websites. It´s like a little treasure-chest all of it´s own. Except, lying in a drawer doesn´t do much good, does it? So I gathered them all, [...]
Arting with Tyler
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011This is the beautiful Tyler and her Mom, Pam, in Tyler´s workspace. I´ve stayed with Tyler a couple of days in Seattle. We had a wonderful day out exploring Seattle. (I´ll show you the pictures soon) And another day, arting in her house. I´ve showed you my little pendant-book. I made another one for Tyler. [...]
Mica book binding
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011I attended two classes at Artfest, in addition to teaching myself. First one up was Dan Essig´s class Book of Mica. I´m such a fan of making books right now, and am fascinated by mica, so this should be fun! This is one of Dan´s books: Mica is a mineral, and you can work both with [...]
