Workshop 2011

Getting down to serious business, totally concentrated :)

The workshop has started!

So, I've finally met all the participants of my workshop. I like them all very much already. They come from different parts of the world - Brazil, Argentina, Canada, USA, Slovenia, England, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands. I feel very honored!

Weather report

Drawn in - another great book from Julia Rothman, it is full of different people's sketchbooks (I'm proud to count me in).

Thank you for your comments people :) Always a pleasure. I'll try to figure the camera out. I'll have to read the manual (puh!) now, in the beginning, I'll never read it later on if I know my self. I will also have to get use to the size! I feel intimidated by it and a little bit shy to put it up. I'll get over it. I just realized I've posted two pictures of myself this week!

It's pretty cold and rainy here at the moment. I wish the swedish weather could show itself from its best side for the workshop participants.. but right now it doesn't look good. We'll work harder instead ;)

No clue

New camera (and glasses) and no clue :)) I hope I can figure it out. Since I am a point and shoot kind of woman, not at all interested in the technology, I've invested in a Nikon D7000... I can't say if it is a good camera or not - yet, but I sure hope so.

Playing

I see you

I like this picture of Morran and myself. I think Elisabeth is the photographer but I'm not sure.

Next weekend my workshop will start!
A link for the road - Eleanor Davis. Have a good weekend.

Wood piles

Is it so that piles of any kind looks interesting? If it is so - why does it appeal to us?

I just ordered this book by Leanne Shapton - Native trees of Canada (found it through the Topipittori blog)

Another piece of the puzzle

For my public commission for Hagenskolan.

Resign, fun and good stuff!

Yoga weekend

A weekend once a month during, the whole year, I'll go to a yoga class to get the practices that I will do each day for about 15 minutes, during a whole year! This is day 75 of 365. This weekend I spent three hours on both saturday and sunday practicing yoga with Mithila and my new monki friends. Afterwards I was filled with energy. So much energy that it surprised me. During a few hours I had done as much as I usually do during a whole week! I wonder if it would work the same way if I spent three hours exercising yoga every day. Imagine how much I would get done. I could go on vacation after six month ;-)

Two days left for ordering prints!

Storybook bed :)

Between printing

Between printing you orders I continue working on my public commission to Hagenskolan.

Tree Circus / Botanic Architecture, found through An ambitious project collapsing.

oh so much spring

Green gold!

Mattias has finally made a book out of his sketchbooks!

Polish book cover contest.

Pion

When I bought it, and after a while. It even changed colour.

Three links to Poppytalk, first a morning walk with me and Morran.
Then two DIY links - Streamers and fabric bows.

Thank you for buying my prints!! :-)

A brief visit

I left my paintings at Konstakademien and then we went to Karin's shop Manos, which is closed on mondays, now you can find a bit more of my work there. It was lovely to meet Karin and her crew (especially little Leonard :)

I'm off to Stockholm

Just for the day, to meet Karin and to leave her a package full of things like these (the story continues) for her beautiful shop Manos.
I will also pay this place a visit to leave two paintings to apply for a scholarship, this is step two, so keep your fingers crossed.
