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.

DIY iron board makeover

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Today´s 30-minute DIY make-over is for the ironing board. As you can see, my ironing board was pretty well worn and has been used hard during costume-projects. Stained with remnants of glue and paint. Not a nice sight for sore eyes anymore that´s for sure. So I decided to do something about it! I used [...]

My apologies for being absent and not-creative, but you see, the past days I´ve been really busy cleaning and tidying my house, almost beyond recognition… Now why would I do a thing like that? Well, because an interior magazine is coming to visit! How cool is that! Rett hjem is a free interior magazine for [...]

20 – candy-colored quotes

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

I am working, really I am! But my arm usually doesn´t want to work at the computer 10 hours a day. So I have to find some other things to keep be busy. This weekend, it´s been one of my work-tables that had it coming! An ordinary oak table-top with black metal feet from IKEA. [...]

The first time I visited London I was 15. Since the age of 25 I´ve come back on average about twice a year. London lives up to the saying: If you´re tired of London, you´re tired of life. There is always something going on here, always something to see, hear, experience, discover. All these visits, [...]

my colorful world

Friday, May 13th, 2011

I 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 [...]

Purple elephant, pink prince

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Earlier this week I played “shop” with my sister yesterday, acting as her assistant. She has an interior/lifestyle-shop, and I went with her to one of her whole-sales places, ordering clothes for next fall. A new experience. A couple of “city-flowers” to celebrate that spring is just around the corner. Along with purple tulips and [...]

silver chair

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

I have three chairs in my cellar waiting for a new life. I know this one is going to take some time and effort, but I wanted to get started on it. The wooden framework I got just like you see it at a charity shop. It´s oak, I believe, and is newly made and [...]
