A cup of Jim

My paper cup came home! I got it from Cecilia Levy in April but haven´t found the great glass to expose it until now. I am so happy over my beautiful yet so fragile Cup of Jim. 

What a piece of well spent time

Guggenheim

Saw this great Picasso black and white exhibition here last week. The whole building is an artpiece!! And just enough art to handle. So happy we are no not in New York this week, we would have been drowned in Canal Street. Poor New Yorkers.

Barbiecake

This weekend we celebrated our girl who just turned 6. It was an inferno of pink, plastic, made in China and she was completely overwhelmed. We had to break off poor Barbies legs in order to fit her in the cake, but instead she got a trendy foil top. It was a total success and Barbie is now hungover, 

but again with legs resting in her shoebox bed.

Btw: notice the mini-marshmallow-hair-piece!

New York part 2

New York

I came back from New York a couple of days ago and am completely ruined by the jet lag but so overwhelmed with impressions and inspiration! 

Bare with me, it will be many posts about this lovely lovely city.  

Hello sheep

Tomorrow I am going to New York!! 

If you have any favourite must go shops or museums feel free to drop me a note.

See´ya next week!

Embroidery with Malin

Another craftshop saturday with our lovely little artgroup. 

Truly meditative time with good talk, needles, coffee, delicious lunch, lovely fabrics and new ideas. Malin inspired us to do embroidery on heavy aquarelle paper and it came out really beautiful, although my fingertips were quite sore afterwards! 

More of this. Now please!
Btw, check out this embroidery.

Sintra

This must be one of the absolutely best ceramic shops in Sweden! Extremely beautiful and inspiring cluster of artists and crafters. Sintra in Gothenburg.

Fern

Saw this brilliant idea at a friends house. Putting some leafes of fern over whatever you want to fernisch and spray w paint. Tadaa!

Crochet mania

My neverending crochetproject.
From the beginning my mother handed med some of this material in julywhen my hands started itching from not crafting. And I got to continue. Lucky me!
One day it will be a blanket.
Any year now.
 

Fotografiska

I went to the museum of photography some time ago and it is such a splendid place. Magic view of the water, lovely café, extremely fun museum shop and of course great exhibitions. I came there mainly to see Sally Mann, but was overwhelmed by the photos of Julia Hetta. What an artist. It´s like watching portraits from the 1700 through the lens of 2012.
