Friday, June 17th, 2011… or why shipyards are one of my favorite places to go on photo-safari! I wasn´t even planning on looking for round things. There is a treasure-chest of shapes, textures and colors to be found there.

Rebecca´s bum
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011Rebecca, one of my teacher-college-students made this for her FOU-exam. The project and the exhibition is now over, and I bought this raku-ceramic piece from her. Isn´t it beautiful?! I´d love to learn the technique of raku (how do I spell that in English, anyone knows?). But until that day, I can look at my [...]
my colorful world
Friday, May 13th, 2011I work with color. Color inspires me and feeds my creativity. Color is my single most important means of expression. So moving into a white studio was a bit change. I´ve managed to make little oasis of color in between all the white. Although it is definitely a work-in-progress, Photo Friday´s theme this week is [...]
inspiration – James Corbett
Sunday, April 24th, 2011Making sculptures out of car parts. I´ve seen several attempts at this, and let´s just say, they don´t always impress me all that much. At all. But that was until a friend of mine sent me a link to James Corbett from Australia. I think it´s amazing how he´s transformed these cold, dead steel-parts into [...]
Glass and oil
Saturday, April 16th, 2011Yesterday´s exploration field-trip went to Tacoma, south of Seattle. We visited Museum of Glass, first stop was the hot-hut, where the glass-art was made. The best part of the exhibition was named Kids Design Glass, the name should say it all. Like the funky “Shark Attack” based on the drawing by Erica Hankins, age 8,below. [...]
ARTing with friends at Michelle´s
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011What a great day! First we head off to Portland for more art-supplies shopping, both Utrecht and Collage have loads of temptations! (My suitcase is going to be HEAVY!) Not to mention Cargo, the Asian import shop… For lunch we drove to Alberta Street, and had grilled cheese sandwiches in an old school-bus! Back in [...]
Arting at Michelle´s-2
Monday, April 4th, 2011I made this A today. A wooden A bought at an interior-shop, now with a textile cover. I made a template on black denim-fabric, appliqued and machine-embroidered the face, hair and hat onto it, glued it down, and used a scissors to remove the excess fabric. (And a knife in the middle opening) I think [...]
Ida
Monday, March 28th, 2011Ida has been helping me all week with Fiddler on the roof. She´s the best assistant ever!!! (But much more like a colleague really). But this weekend when the show was up and running, she wanted to paint. I helped her a little bit at the start, and then she simply painted this beautiful self-portrait. [...]
