to celebrate a day in gothenburg

Two years ago in May when our mom turned 47 she got a trip to Gothenburg with her 3 children, that trip didnt happend untill last weekend. Better late than never.. So on Saturday the 17. dec we took our mom ( me and my brother emil and sister emelie) to Gothenburg, the weather wasnt the best, but we had a great time. We made a visit to the museum of nature history (I dont know the name in english) it´s an old museum that contains hundreds of diffrent stuffed and percerved animals, I really like this place, its a bit creapy, dusty and old, and it smells funny.. They have this big bluewhale in one of the rooms, it scares and facinates me at the same time. After the museumvisit we went to a place called Haga, its an old part of the city with old wooden houses, there it was a christmasmarket going on and lost of lost of people, in the evening we ate dinner at a restaurant named Tranquilo, it was very tasty..mmmmm. and then we saw the movie Hysterica , it was fun, i can recomend it.

Thank you mom for waiting so long for your present, i had a great time!

Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir

This years winner of the Nordic award in textile: Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir.

colour and shape

the Morran book

This is my contribution to the Morran book wich is a projekt run by the lovely artist Camilla Engman. You can send in your picture of her dog Morran and then a jury will pick out some pictures to finnaly be printed in a Morran book, all the profits from the book will go to charity, such a great idea! So now i just have to hold my fingers crossed that my picture will be chosen as one among others for the book. =)

Mumrik, the winning carpet!

so here it is! MUMRIK the handwoven carpet! my contribution to the Stockholm furniture fair in 2012! still only sketches but i will soon start to weave it in school, it will probably be many late nights sitting with the loom, but im really loocking forward to it! =)

the carpet will be woven in natural materials, doft and hard, and then i will print a pattern on it with screenprint.

Hurray!

My contribution to the Stockholm furniture fair in 2012 made it past the jury! Im going to make a handwoven carpet with hard and soft natural materials and then print on it with a pattern, its called Mumrik and i´ll show scetches of the carpet tomorrow! Im So Happy!!!! =) yay!
