Sunday, April 29th, 2012Well, let me just start with one thing. I know a lot more about feathers now than I did a couple of days ago! What the possibilities are, what you can with them and to them, and how you can use them incorporated into costumes. And I have to admit, it was a lot more [...]
Artfest 3
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012Third 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, 2012Second 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 [...]

Monday, April 2nd, 2012By the time I´ve posted this, the 13th and last Artfest has come and gone. Such a wonderful event with such wonderful people!

art-day at school
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012Meling Elementary School had a “visit-from-a-local-artist-day” at school today. 39 10-year olds for four hours. Such great fun. We drew and bleached and painted. Some of the paintings turned out quite amazing! They had never had anything about mixing colors / color-theory before, so I just quickly had a show-and-tell, no more than 4 minutes [...]
18 – lilies and bowling
Sunday, December 18th, 2011Now who wouldn´t be jumping with joy when receiving such a lovely envelope? It doesn´t make it worse that it´s addressed “to the amazing” Well, you´ve guessed it. I´m going to Artfest again. This will be the last time Teesha is organizing this amazing, creative event. There are still a few spots left, and if [...]

Painting workshop with 6th grade
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011The second day of the painting workshop with the 11-year olds. I loved overhearing their conversation this morning: “How do I make brown?” ” You just mix blue and yellow and red!” or “This color isn´t the right!” “You need more yellow!” and so on. They´ve really gotten good at mixing the colors. I didn´t [...]
Art-collaboration
Monday, October 24th, 2011Well, guess where I am?! I´m out traveling again, and have moved from my little island on the west-coast, to another little island, about 10 hours further north on the west-coast. Nature is more dramatic here, with quite steep mountains, it´s really beautiful. Especially today, when the weather´s been absolutely marvelous! I´m in Ulsteinvik. Right. [...]
