Owls for every room



The nursery owl is a gentle and wise little owl- that loves the sound of small feet and nursery rhymes. SOLD



The living room owl is a colourful night owl - that loves the sound of dinnerguest and lounge music. SOLD



The office owl is a quiet and clever little owl - that loves the sound of working typewriters/keyboards and people talking to themselves. SOLD



The craft room owl can be a real chatterbox and tends to get a bit messy - It loves the smell of glue and fresh flowers.



The kitchen owl is a curious and clever little owl - that loves the smell of homemade bread and stuffed mice. SOLD



The library owl is a little shy - but also a very wise owl - it loves the smell of books, pencils and fresh coffee. SOLD

All owls are made with a mix of japanese paper, vintage, wallpaper and paper with my own prints. They are mounted on a deep edge canvases 20 x 20 x 3 cm. The collages are finished with an acrylic clear glossy coat. All collages are one of a kind.

And you can buy them here in my brand new shop.

Hvis du hellere vil købe direkte ved mig istedet for via Paypal - så send mig en mail med din bestilling og så tager vi den derfra!

colour match



In the studio today while drinking coffee - I noticed that Line had given us cups that match our outfits - I guess it´s a work-related "injury" from working with colours and paint all day. I´m pantone 2583C and Line is Pantone 388C. I´m also wearing my new bracelet from the Craft Market last wekend.

Crafts market in Aarhus



It´s time for another Crafts Market - this time in Århus at the charming
Kloster Torv on Saturday 23. august - from 10-15. I´m going there to pick up a cushion like the one to the left made by Tulipaner og Tomater. I´m not sure who else will be there, the pictures are from previous markets - but you can see more here.

Fairytales




With a 4 year old princess in the house we read a lot of fairytales - and I dream of a whole book illustrated by Eugenio Recuenco´s fantastic photographs.

Colour Inspiration



Line - my studio-mate asked me the other day to make a little colourboard for her next paintings - and this is what I quickly whipped together for her. Hope it will inspire you too - and if you know who made the cute rabbit let me know ´cause I completely forgot.

Crafts Market in Copenhagen


It´s time again for the annual Crafts Market at Frue Plads in Copenhagen - from 14th - 16th of August. With more than 130 danish crafters showing their products - it´s a great way to get an idea of whats going on in Danish Crafts. Above is a few items I would love to hold in my hands - but I´m going to Costa Brava in Spain to celebrate my mother in law´s 75th birthday - so I´ll hold a map of Barcelona, books and a Shangria in my hands instead - see you next week.

Summer in Denmark






Maybe I should show you a few glimpses from our lovely holiday in our summerhouse here in Denmark. It was the first time we spent a holiday there and we loved it! p.s the black and white house is a restaurant - not our house.

I now it´s still August but after 2 weeks of fabulous summer weather, - it´s now rainy and grey and I´m in a pre-autumn mood after seeing all the new Autumn/Winter collections in the stores. So here´s some colour candy from the new Day Home collection - ahh wouldn´t you just love to cuddle up in these rooms with a cup of tea and a glossy magazine?

Back again


Hello there - I´m a back from a very relaxing holiday - and I want more... so now I´m reading this book !

17 July 2008

Enjoy!


I´m having a blog-break - and a holiday - full of rest, long summernights, time in a hammock, eating berries fresh from the farm, watching clouds passing by. And enjoying the summer flowers and butterflies - just like my little friend The Mole above and here. Hope you will have a great July too - I´ll see you in August.

My final superheroes




I finished my GRIB-challenge last friday - so here is my superhero - Super Sofie. I had a lot of fun putting together my inspirationboard above and creating this new character. The final artwork is presented as a bookcover as you can see - and a friend made a wonderful rhyme for the cover based on my ideas. So all I need now is to work on the stories, the illustrations and find a publisher...as if I didn´t have enough project going on already... but first of all I need some rest and a holiday.

Superhero process in progress


I hoped this fairy would wave her magic wand over me this weekend - so I could draw exactly what was in my head - I draw way too little these days and I´m a bit rough around the edges - but here are some sketches for my little super hero - Super Soffie!

pressed flowers



Here´s our weekend projects. Nanna and I have been collecting and pressing flowers at the summerhouse since spring - and I finally found a way to frame them - between 2 pieces of glas - simple and pretty. And our new Caravaggio lamp by Cecilie Manz have been hung. Hope you had a lovely weekend too.

Cool Girl Inspiration


Here´s my mood board for the Super Girl I´m about to create for the Grib.2 challenge. The target group is girls from 4-6 years and so far she is strong like Pippi - saves the world like Barbapapa - and is as cool as Lauren Childs figures - and she can see colours not visible to the human eye. The world needs a new and fresh superhero - so dear readers please leave a comment and tell me what qualities, superpowers and gadgets my little hero should have!

2xblogger


Last years Grib!-project was a big success - so we decided to enlarge the group, get a bit more organized and just continue to have fun and network in the same way. So from today and 2 weeks forward I´ll be blogging in Danish about my creative process at the GRIB!2 blog. My challenge this year is Superheroes - and I´ve already done some research as you can tell above - I would really love to create a new Pippi-figure - but I can´t draw cartoons or charaters - so we will see how I get along.
You can read more about Grib! here - and see the final show here.
