livingstones

I just love these pillows from Livingstones- there so well done and so much fun. I saw them at Designsponge - a great designblog!

sunday walk

Photos from a walk in my local wood yesterday - funny how the wonder of spring keeps surprising you year after year - the beeches are so green and fresh that you wish to eat them and the anemones so perfect you wish you designed them.

happy weekend

A happy weekend ahead with sun and Design market at Lynfabrikken, a great spot here in Aarhus. Check out their website and all the cool stuff they have, like textile from Pernittengryn, and ceramics from Fabula, Clayfever and Casalinga.

under the sea - illustration friday

So far this is my favorite topic from Illustration Friday, and today I went to a Photoshop seminar - so it was the perfect occasion to try some of the new features I learned earlier today. Again done real quickly late at night, cause the weather has been so wonderfull today...

camera tossing

This is new to me - and looks like fun, I will read instructions carefully though, before I dare to toss my new digital camera. Here´s a showcase photo-blog for the "best of" camera tossing and a how to guide, and a Flickr photopool here.

Robert Rauschenberg + me

I love Robert Rauschenberg and I can´t wait to go and see his exhibition this weekend at our local art museum, Aros.
Robert Rauschenberg On and Off the Wall focuses on paintings and sculptures from the 1980s to the mid 1990s, when he set about exploring the reflective, textural, sculptural and thematic possibilities of metal. The materials used include found metal objects - often scrap metal - and his own photographs, silk-screened on panels of steel, aluminium, bronze and copper. The exhibition presents a total of 79 works.

my favorite colours

this picture actually contains all my favorite colours - and yes I love to photograph flowers!

I´m back from Firenze

I´m back and so full of wonderfull food and impressions.
My gift will be a wedding album and here are some of my shots.
Look at that cake - it was huge and delicious!

firenze - I´m back

I´m going home - or back to what used to be home 15 years ago.
I´m going to Firenze for a wedding - and I´m so thrilled to be seeing my friends again and to brush up friendships and my Italian. I´ll be back again on monday.
P.S The ceremony takes places in the building to the right, Palazzo Vecchio.

Gregory Colbert - Ashes and Snow

I really really wish that I was at, Santa Monica Pier, California these days. This exhibition seems so fantastic! Please explore the website too - it´s exceptional!! I found it here.
“In exploring the shared language and poetic sensibilities of all animals, I am working towards rediscovering the common ground that once existed when people lived in harmony with animals. The images depict a world that is without beginning or end, here or there, past or present.”—Gregory Colbert, Creator of Ashes and Snow

robot - Illustration friday

I think this is my first drawing of a robot ever - I did it in 10 minutes - taking a break from real work. Illustration Friday is truly a great drawing challenge.

Teatime

I just love a nice cup of tea - and I love beautifull packaging too - so I just had to have this beauty to the right from Happyelephant. The tea is wonderfull and the box looks great in my kitchen - together with my Kusmi tea boxes. I love when good quality is in everything - from product, packaging and to the website. Compliments to both companies!

Hennes&Mauritz

I live right next to a H&M store and look what I found there today - lots of birds! it seems like I´m not the only one with a soft spot for birds - visit A Bird in the Hand!


At H&M´s website they have a dressing room where you can try out new outfits on a model your size and shape. I thought I should try a new style since a girl in a Diesel store refered to me as "en dame"- a lady, yesterday... For the new style I deliberately tried to pick clothes that wasn´t flattering for my figure... but I ended up liking the waistcoat. It´s great fun and a the 3D is well done. Which do you prefer?

Spotted - Illustration friday

Here´s a hen - spotted with chicken pops, dreaming of a new car that fits the whole family.

Badge machine in the house

Ha ha - this is fun! Got my badge machine today and these are my first ones - but surely not the last ones...

Sniptape from Kennmunk.com

Sniptape seen at Kennmunk.com. I love this idea, as Kenn writes... "It's a joke in the form of adhesive tape, it's the fastest way to convert your ride into a convertible, it's the fastest way to add a new doorway to your house, the fastest way to make anything a coupon you can cut out and bring to the store". Also check out his free fonts and cool toys.

Things on strings

Inspired by decorating branches for easter, here are some other ways to decorate trees, when its not christmas or easter! The first picture is a mobile by a local artist, hanging in a public park here in Århus. The two to the right are from an exhibition I saw today, I think they are made by Mette Bulow and Lisbeth Madsen. And the last picture with the shells is from Koh Kham Island in Thailand.

Happy easter decorating!

I finally got time to decorate for Easter - I just made the paper eggs yesterday, using the fantastic photoshop layers I found at Sabines Blog. And I love my 3 floffy chickens that I found in Sweden many years ago.


Outside it looks like this...
