acrylic Axel
Sunday, March 27th, 2011A while ago I had a painting project at the teacher college. It took some time for me to finish the sample below, and I didn´t want to show it before it was all done. But here it is 🙂 One of the things beginners at painting find a challenge is how to mix colors. […]
Fiddler – behind the scenes
Saturday, March 26th, 2011A little guided tour ´round the theatre before the show? Kind of crowded on the side-stage. Technical equipment, props, big and small, costumes, and sometimes 40 people… The house on wheels.

The Fiddler moves in!
Sunday, March 20th, 2011Fiddler on the roof is next on the agenda. With opening night already the coming Thursday, we don´t really have more time than necessary to get everything ready. We´ve moved onto the stage… … and ( the orchestra) into the grave. In a short five hours we managed to screw the big wooden parts of […]
Lime is spring
Friday, March 18th, 2011Lime-green, or light grass-green is the color of spring if you ask me. And spring is very welcome to join me here on the west-coast right now! A little necklace-gift I made the other day: Last night´s performance of Marilyn was great! (And so was the party afterwards;-) The energy was high, the play was […]
