Wintertime

   Winter in Schweden. Manchmal schön und manchmal ganz schrecklich grau und nass!
  

Living and working in the same space

I don't have a studio, but I think I need one! For a while it' s ok to live in and with the chaos, but I am tired of cleaning the kitchen! There is colour and fabric everywhere! We share a really nice but small apartment but there is no extra room I could use.

Work in progress

 I will participate in A la london designmarket in Göteborg this november and I will be a  member of  FRIENDS OF FORM. They run a really nice shop on Göteborg and soon I will sell my designs there too. I am really happy to participate  in their group, it is always inspiring to meet creative people. So there is a lot of work to do.

Hello Thermal-copier!

I have a thermal-copier now! It is an easy way to make screens for screen print. Well, I still have to figure out which copies work best. I also have a china-marker and chinese ink, with them I can paint and draw on white paper, take the right size of the mesh and insert the "sandwich" in the copier. Now the screen is nearly ready, it just needs to be taped on a frame. This also works with black and white copies, but they have to be lasercopies and it depends on the brand of the printer how good it works. So here I need to experiment a lot. If you want to know more about the thermal-copier click here.

-Mr ersson and me had fun at our first printing session. It did not really work out with the  skull though...
Soon more!

Blueprint Experiments

I did some blueprint experiments, inspired by this blogpost.

Here you can see some prints of my parents (when they were young). The photos were first enlarged to A4 on a normal b/w printer.
