Set no 2

Finally! Cup set no 2 is here. Another collaboration between Karin Eriksson (Manos) and me. We hope you'll like them.

Ceramic collaboration

I went to Stockholm, to continue the work with Karin at Manos. It doesn't happen as often as I wish, nowadays. But still, it is always a pleasure when it does.

Karin + Camilla =

A set of two cups, made in a collaboration between me and ceramicist Karin Eriksson. The cups are cast in a white high fired stoneware clay, glazed in a matte silky soft white glaze and decorated with screen printd ceramic decals. The cups can be washed in the dishwasher and microwaved. Delivered in a hand crafted box from Norrmalms Kartongfabrik. Produced in Sweden and the UK.

Size: height 80 mm (3.1 inches) dia 65 mm (2.6 inches). A cup holds approximately 2,5 dl (0.6 lbs) of liquid.
please note the cups are made by hand and small differences in size or surface may occur.

We also started a joint website now, not much on it yet but still... www.karincamilla.com

The anniversary cups coming this Sunday!

When Karin and I realized that our friendship, this fall celebrates ten years, we thought something special was needed to mark the anniversary. So we created a set of cups in our own specialities - My illustrations paired with Karins ceramics. Making a set of cups feels like the ultimate way to celebrate our friendship and collaboration.

Everything will be ready and available this Sunday in manos webshop. We'll keep you posted!

We are still working on these

Karin Eriksson was here the other day! Soon, pretty soon this will be a couple of cups/mugs with a handle. And soon they will be for sale at Manos, virtually and in the the shop at Renstiernas gata in Stockholm. And hopefully some more shops because these will be available for wholesale as well :-)

Last week

My airplant from Berlin started to bloom.
I went to Stockholm's Concert Hall to celebrate Barbro Lindgren. And of course I spent most of my time at Manos with Karin, cooking for future projects (see past collaborations here!).

.

Manos

I'm going to Stockholm to meet Karin! We'll spend the day at Manos, talking about our collaborative work.

Collaboration clearout

As you know, Karin and I are working on our collaboration. Before we launch the new things we've done we wanted to have a spring clearout of things we’ve kept to ourselves…

The new collaboration between Camilla Engman and Karin Eriksson will be released at the end of April - in Karin's shop Manos (Renstiernas gata 22 in Stockholm) and Manos online.

More ceramic

More :)

Mr Black is back in town

More from Karin's and mine collaboration.

A small post from Gothenburg over at Poppytalk.

Part 3

Karin Eriksson and I played the whole weekend. She'd brought a load of ceramics. We chatted, drank wine and worked, what more can one ask for :) This part is planned to be ready before summer, at least. Look what we have done together before - Part 1 and part 2

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.

Ceramic

Here's more from the latest collaboration between Karin and me. It's a work in progress. They are up and for sale at Manos.

I wonder what Bibbi is doing? This time of the year she is usually telling us about the craft fair she's part of organizing here in Gothenburg - Upmarket Craft Fair. I will probably meet her there.

Collaboration with Karin

Here's a few more pics from my collaboration with Karin Eriksson . The “progress report show” opens at manos Thursday August 6th and the pieces will be available in manos webshop on Wednesday August 12th.

Another collaboration - 3191: Evenings
A sad story over at Book by its cover.

Someone came to visit

Someone came to visit and we were all very happy about it. I'll show you more tomorrow.

I often get questions about what to do to become an illustrator, I always feel I can't give any proper answer. But luckily for us there are other people out there wanting to share their experience and knowledge.

Another collaboration

I had a little time over to play with Karin's and my collaboration.

Morran is at the vet. since yesterday. They took her uterus out today, poor little thing. I hope I can get her back home tomorrow, I miss her a lot. An old film where she helps me undress ;)

Faces and circles

Ok, the next post will not be about ceramic collaborations, but bare with me today.

Humanoid.

I'm having fun

But not so much to say.

One step further

Today I saw a crow that sat on a tv-antenna on a roof, he threw himself down on the sloping roof and made somersaults. When he came to the edge of the roof he flew up on the antenna again and started over. He was just having fun :) It made me happy to see.

Ceramic + face

Still trying to find a way to approach Karins ceramic. Playing with them. The same face in different ceramic pieces, it looks like different persons. Maybe Bibbi's right, I should do something BIG on them.

I've been tagged a few times lately (Emma, Marie-Louise, Celia, Computerarte ...) I'm sorry, I'm not so good on that. I wish I were. I've been thinking about that, why can't I tell my favorite movie, favorite book, favorite food, favorite artist, favorite colour or five funny things about myself!? Don't I like to watch movies, read books and so on? I do. I've decided to think it is because I like it so much, I can't possible chose :) If you could ask me a question, what would you like to know?

Emily Barletta has a very nice blog. And so has Gennine. I wonder if I could get hold on a stamp carving block here in sweden, I've never seen one.

I've posted this link before, but it is such a treasure it is worth beeing here again - H.C Andersen Billedbog.
