Jag börjar se ett mönster-I begin to see a pattern
Every year at this time I`m not very active or creative. My pupils are on the other hand. Maybe it is like this: I`m so involved in their creativity, that I don`t have the time or energy to create my own stuff. In any case, I continue to inspire pupils to make free embroidery and they continue to produce fantastic pictures. Will they continue with this in the future? Have I sown a seed that will grow? I hope so.

Nu är de hemma igen- Now they are back home again
Att göra bokomslag är fortfarande roligt. Här är ett i blandteknik.
Today it was time to drive to Dunker`s to bring home my ladies that have been exhibited there during the autumn. The weather was snowy, windy and really risky to drive in.
To make bookcovers is still facinating. Here is the last one that I`ve made.

Här kommer ännu ett-Here comes another one
Yet another bookcover is finished. This one has a spraycoloured background, as the last one had aswell. The photo is transferred using TAP(transfer artist paper). The frame round the picture are bits from a fabric that I made using old pieces of lace, that I sewed on top of a fabric and then I painted the lot.

Ett nytt bokomslag-A new bookcover
I have made some new bookcovers and here comes a taste. The background is a fabric that I`ve sprayed with dye. I have then transfered a photo onto the fabric. The heart is sewn on watersoluble material.

vernissage
I dag var det vernissage på Salong 2010 på Dunkers Kulturhus. Där var otroligt mycket folk. Roligt att vara en av tre textilkonstnärer som ställde ut. En av mina masker finns med i Helsingborg Dagblads artikel om utställningen.

Lite nytt-Some news
Först några nya bilder som jag tror jag är klar med, Jag är inte helt säker så jag väntar lite till innan jag ramar in dem. Bakgrunden till bilderna är monoprint, d.v.s. ett tryck som endast kan göras en gång. Man penslar en glasskiva med färg och sen kan man bearbeta färgen på olika sätt. Jag tog en kniv och skrapade runt färgen innan jag tryckte.
First some new pictures that I think are finished, I`m not certain so I will wait for some time until I will get them framed. The background is monoprinting, i.e. a print that can only be made once. You paint a glass surface with paint and then you can make a pattern in the paint with a knife or some other tool before you print.
My favourite book right now is Sherril Kahn`s Mixed media. So many fun things to be inspiered of. Today I tested gelantin printing for the first time. It was really fun and simple. You just mix gelantin powder with water and let it set overnight. Then you paint the surface, press stamps into it or carv some patterns into the gelantin. Finally you put you fabric/paper on top and print.

Jag är så lycklig!-I am so happy!
Jag sökte för ett tag sedan till Helningborgs Konstförenings Höstsalong på Dunkers Kulturhus.
Nu har jag fått reda på att jag har kommit med. Det skall bli sååå roligt att få visa upp "mina gamla damer"
I applied some while ago to attend an exhibiton that i s called Höst Salong 2010. The exhibition will be held at a really fantastic place, Dunkers Kulturhus. Now I have been informed that I`ve been accepted. It will be sooo fun to exhibit "my old ladies".

Höstblommor och bokomslag i turkos-Autumn flowers and a book cover in turquoise
I continue to make book covers. This one has a base of fabric paper made of serviettes with vintage motifs. I found the embellishment when I cleaned in my studio. I found a lot of other things that I had forgotten that I had. It`s not bad to clean once in awhile.....
I dag besökte jag min granne,Bodil, som gjuter i betong. Hon hade sensommaröppet. Fiskpinnarna, som hennes svärdotter gör, är helt underbara.
Today I visited my neighbour, Bodil, who makes gardenart from concrete. There was an exhibition there. The fishes on sticks, that her daughter-in-law makes, are just wonderful.

Björnbärstider-Time for blackberries
Jag har tillverkat en hel del nytt tygpapper som jag skall använda till bokomslag. Jag har testat nya sätt att färglägga och dekorera dem med. Här kommer ett av de färdiga resultaten.
I have made quite a lot of new fabric paper that I am going to use for bookcovers. I have been testing new ways of painting and decorating them. Here comes one of the finished results.
I spent the morning in the meadow up the hill from us. There are plenty of blackberries. It is so relaxing and peaceful to let the berries decide the way you are going. They ended up as a good pie and jam.

Sedan måste jag bara visa en bild på en läcker lampa som visades upp under Malmöfestivalen.
Then I just have to show a picture of a gorgeous lamp that was hung up during the festival in Malmö last week.

För en vecka sen-A week ago
Den andra utställningen var på Wanås i norra Skåne. I den underbara slottsparken har där ställts ut skulpturer och installationer i 13 år. Jag har inte besökt Wanås förrän i år men kommer säkert åka dit på nya utställningar. Så mycket fint det finns att beundra och inspireras av.
The other exhibition was in Wanås in the north of Skåne. In the wonderful park of the castle there have been exhibitions for 13 years. This was the first time for me but I will for sure be back.
There is so much to admire and get inspiered by.

Skulpturer och broderade landskap-Sculptures and embroidered landscapes
Har besökt ytterligare en fantastisk skulptur utställning. Pilane på Tjörn. Vilken vacker miljö och vilka läckra skulpturer.
Har också hunnit med att göra några bilder med skånska landskap som snart skall pryda framsidan på skåp.
I have visited yet another fantastic sculpture exhibition. Pilane on Tjörn at the westcoast of Sweden. What a wonderful environment and really great sculptures.
Then I`ve done som landscape pictures, the views typical of the southern part of Sweden. They will be mounted on cupboards made by my husband.

Ny modell och konst?-A new design and art?
We were at Marsvinsholm`s sculpturepark earlier on this week. We saw among other things these buried Volvo cars. Is it art? It is a stunning sight anyhow.


Sen har jag testat lite nya sätt att göra armband på. Här kommer lite smakprov.
Then I have been testing new ways of making bracelets. here comes a taster.
