Cake making


Pic. 1 - the best part of baking a cake.
pic. 2 - the second best part, decorating. B is for Bibbi (hip, hip hurrah!)
I totally misunderstood the cake theme. I heard Hollywood, but it was Bollywood! At least I got the letter right ;)

Another day of screenprinting. Mr Black.

"My" converse shoes in white. Anna started a flickr group... well go and see yourself :)

Screenprinting at KKV

A whole day of screenprinting. The day started with total disorientation, I had to start over with a cup of coffee and chocolate. Then everything went smooth :) Madame Ochre.
It's like a fairytale outside, Morran is so happy about the snow and the warm sun.

People we know - an ongoing art collaboration between April Gertler and Kevin Titzer.

the vulnerable snowman has eaten berries


Soft and white


The whole winter has been without snow, now when it is nearly spring the snow comes. It is acctually wonderful, white and light! You can still feel spring. I wonder what happened to the singing frogs and their frog eggs?

Elsa Mora's very nice toys.
Ulrica Lundberg, paintings.

Spring is on hold for a while. But there is still spring feelings - love. It's like light therapy outside, bright light on white snow :) The sun is warm so the snow melts where the sun beams reaches.

Varoom

Varoom 05 contained three of my favorite children book illustrators. Beatrice Alemagna, Marc Boutavant and Isabelle Vandenabeele.

I've been thinking of changing my "header" but never got around. Then today Elisabeth changed hers and suddenly I'd done a new one to myself, just like that. The result is maybe a little bit overloaded, but I couldn't stop myself.

She thinks she is so clever :)

I'm usually not so fond of this illustration style,
but Daniel Egnéus is too talented to resist.
