Thursday, January 31st, 2013It´s difficult to see the details here, but it´s a work-in-progress. Freestyle machine embroidery with silver thread on a silver organza. Quite densely stitched. It looks pretty good, but man, is it a trial for patience! My thread snaps off every half a minute. I think I need to deliver my machine to a thorough […]

Autumn sun
Monday, January 28th, 2013Don´t you just love the colors the sun brings out when it´s raining at the same time?!
Orgelfall photo-shoot
Sunday, January 27th, 2013The wonderfully talented young men in Orgelfall have asked me to make the cover and layout for their very first CD. And of course we need a couple of photos of the artists. Despite the grey and cold weather, we had a good laugh, and got some good pictures. The CD will be out in […]
work, work, work
Saturday, January 26th, 2013These days I´m working on stuff that´s not really interesting to photograph… like painting varnish on a pile of pictures, like making plans and lists, like office-work with phone calls. I do have a little project I´m working on, that I´ll show you maybe next week 😉 A theatre-set project. My creative juices are flowing […]
Penny Penguin
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013Penny the Penguin was born yesterday. Or conceived, I don´t know which is better. And tonight she´s finished. Another freehand machine embroidery Polar animal. This time the South pole. Adding pieces of fabric and tulle onto stiffened, black velvet. She´s about 20×23 cm (8×9 inches). A million stitches later…. And Penny is here! Her eye […]
Polar bear
Monday, January 21st, 2013I´m working on a textile picture today. A portrait of a polar bear. A bit of application, but mainly freehand machine embroidery. I don´t have a fancy machine that can be programmed to do this, so every stitch is hand-guided. Handmade is what makes it art! 😉 I´m using a solid wool fabric, which I´ve […]
Tyler´s bunnygirl, Katy´s flowers and my art wall
Saturday, January 19th, 2013It´s time for the last art-swap pieces. This cute little bunny-girl was painted by Tyler in BabyLux. Or maybe it´s a bear-girl? Anyhow. She´s cute! 🙂 Next is Katy Keuter´s free-sprited painted collage. She didn´t write a title on it, so I´m calling it “Where have all the flowers gone?” Somehow it makes me think of […]
Les Miserables
Friday, January 18th, 2013Tonight is the movie-premiere of Les Miserables in Norway. Since we´ve actually staged the musical in Bømlo, it´s a welcome event and we plan to make a party out of it! I´m going with part of my costume-department and some of the onstage-ensemble, dressing up to make a night of it 🙂 And what an […]
Elizabeth´s fused plastic
Wednesday, January 16th, 2013I´m back home to a winter-cold Norway. The air is crisp, the sky is blue and the light is clear. Life is grand! 🙂 I still haven´t showed you all the wonderful pieces of art I received in my art-swap group. This is what Elizabeth from Alaska sent me: A mini-booklet with a cover made […]
