In my drawers

A cuple of years ago I made these brooches (is that the proper word?) for the christmasmarket at my school. Looking at them now they are kind of sexy... and I can assure thats not what I had in mind! Still, I liked making them, perhaps time for a second round...

Hurry, hurry and buy Elisabeths great poster!

Gingerbread sunday

Today we made gingerbread biscuits. it´s a bit early, I know... it´s not even december. But it was fun:)
I changed the picture size, I thought it might do my drawings more justice. I´m not sure that the photos need it though... What do u think?

Happy weekend

This is me trying to draw something related to christmas. Right now it´s impossible. Give us some snow so I will come into x-mas mood! (klick for bigger!)
Have a great weekend!

Emmas great pattern

The latest issue of Elle interiör was really nice. Especially this page with Emmas textile "stäpphöna" (produced by Svenskt tenn). And the vase from Ernst Billgren I wouldn´t mind either.
Today I´m not drawing birds, I´ll show you later!

A day inside

Inside, building and drawing.

I´m not a big fan of Alessi, but this I like.

rainy and windy

The weather is typical for Gothenburg, rainy and windy. I long for snow. For the first time ever I chose tea over coffee, all because of this rooibos tea with orange taste.

New week

This week at shool we are doing workshops in mixed groups, staff and students. My group is doing filmmusic to An andalusian dog. It´s gonna be an perfomance on friday. They showed us this as inspiration... This will be an interesting week.

Grey saturday filled with joy

Today I´m listening to this and taking care of a very messy home. Kids are sleeping and for the first day in weeks I will not draw at all. Yesterday I finished all of the originals for the trays so on monday they will be sent to press. ( I will show you the result instead of the drawings.)
This empty feeling after finishing something is both sad and joyful. On monday I will be back on my wallpaper project after almost two weeks rest and I feel inspired!
Weekends are the best.

Happy weekend

I finished my bird drawing, the thing with finishing things is that they are always better unfinished... (klick for bigger)
Have a great weekend!

Tonights work

It´s in the middle of the night and finallly I got this pattern almost right in photoshop. Klick for bigger! The idea was to make a drawing for a tray but then along the jurney I came up with the not so bright idea to make a pattern instead. Atleast I got a taste of what coming weeks will be like when I have to transfer my handdrawn wallpapers into the computer!

Cuckooooonest


First bird was a drawing I made for midsummer, u can se it here. People seem to like it so I thought it would be perfect as a tray. The thing is that it´s to small. I could make it bigger in the computer but then the shapes would be all ruined. And there is also the fact that one of my teacher said that the bird had a different "language" then the rest of the drawing.Therefore I decided to copy myself.
Ha, impossible!
Second drawign became "superbird". It´s like a fat superman... and the colors didn´t turn out great. Third try and never ever will I touch that drawing again!
What is this with the impossibility to copy yourself? Have you bumped into the problem?
Still, they are kind of funny. Thinking about a whole days work and this sad result makes me laugh...

Markers

I bought myself some new markers. tryed to find the ones that Fruenswerk recomended but it seems as if they only have 4 different kinds all over gothenburg. I found the copiccopys over at designtorget and they where quite cheap.

Yesterday

Yesterday I meet Karin for fika and shopping. She found this really nice card, made by Jan Stenmark. The text says something like this: "In her dreams she could fly. In her dreams she could reach the spots that she never ever had been able to clean before." (klick for bigger)

I want to see this movie, now! The book is one of my favourite books.

almost vinter

Today has been a cold day, had to put on alot of cloths.

Wherka have re-opend and now they sell german things, and ofcourse Myrkott.

I was tagged

A while ago I was tagged by handmade romance to tell 6 little things about myself :

1. I´m buying but mostly selling childrens cloths at tradera. This makes me fool myself to think that it´s ok to buy expensive childrens clothes instead of cheap ones. Cause I will kind of "get the money back"

2. I just started o likes olives and now I can´t get enough of them.

3. Since the "Kill Bill" volume came I´m inlove with those kind of movies. I really enjoyed the new grindhouse films "planet terror" and "deathproof". It surpises even myself that I like them!

4. I talk in my sleep.

5. I don´t show my man everything that I shop.

6. My middle namne is Eva, after my mother.

I tag: kimberley, sara, annika, elisabeth, anne and hanna. Feel free to play along, or not play along!
