Arkiv: De ufullendte / Archive: The Unfinished Ones

Arkiv: De ufullendte / Archive: The Unfinished Ones, Kari Steihaug. A fantastic book from Magikon . A whole book full of unfinished knittings and the stories behind it.

"Archive: The Unfinished Ones is about the poetry in imperfection and about directing attention to something failed and lost. It is a documentary project and can simultaneously be read as an expression of many aspects of life that turn out differently than we plan." Kari Steihaug

A book full of Morran?

Suitcase series volume 2: Dottie Angel

Uppercase, Janine and her crew, has done it again! A wonderful and generous book, Suitcase series volume 2. This time with and about Dottie Angel.

Found objects

- A little note, is it the sound of a bird?
- Memoire no. 1 - I found this in a medieval town in France and I thought "wow a trace of someone like myself, someone that collect things and even cataloging them in numerical order!" for a moment I even felt a twinge of envy, so disciplined and poetic. Then the truth struck me... it was just an ordinary plastic pocket for a cameras memory card.

The 1st and the 8th calendar!

This is my eighth calendar and Studio Morran's first one!
Take a closer look at the cover over at Studio Morran.

Someone (Annie) told me that the first one, 2005, works for 2012 also :) Here's a pic from the 2005 calendar.

Calendar

This year I've been thinking that I will probably not make a 2012 calendar. Yesterday I took the final decision that there will be no more calendar. There are too many of them and I felt no desire to make one, and desire and curiosity are my main fuels.

So what did I start my morning with, working on a 2012 calendar! I have no idea how that happened :-)

This is still a secret and I don't really know what will happen or how, but I have a vague idea about it. I want to have a forum for all the cute things that wants to come out and as Studio Violet does not exist anymore there might be a Studio Morran in the future... but I haven't had the time to implement it yet (you can see that I started a while ago).
So why am I telling you all this now you might wonder. Because IF I make a calendar for next year (I'm not 100% clear if yet) it will be more on the cute side than last years calendars. A Studio Morran calendar. I will of course keep you updated.

What I am working on

I'm working on another children book for Topipittori (here is the last book - Too Late/Troppo Tardi). The one I'm working on now is, very briefly, about a book and all the fantastic things that can emerge within a book and it's story.

Take a look at these fun paint brush coat hooks, found through Zickermans.

Steps

I'm making steps for Morran, she's not a laying-on-the-floor kind of dog, she would try to jump up no matter what. She is already feeling better after her surgery. I am feeling better too - after your comments and thoughts, thanks again.

Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥
