Adelsö - again

Went to Cathrine and Roy again to touch base with long lost german friends Ludolf and Marcella. Last time we met there were no children and we were all doing our art and photography. We still do, and our children got along great.

Oh, I must say I connected my blog to google analytics and I am so happy and surprised to see that so many people are following the blog, even if, sometimes, it does not show on the comments ; ). I am happy to have readers (or in my case "lookers") from Hawaii, Australia, USA (mostly Maryland and Colorado?) and all over Europe.

Off to the north of Sweden for some vacation now. I won´t be here for a while, but when we return, there will be plenty of pictures from the north and my great grandmas old farmhouse.
Take care of yourselves and stay in touch!

Ottos stuff

Old merit

My three year old graduation-project, where I designed winelabels for a french Wineyard keeps gaining attention. In only a month I have been contacted by a spanish magazine, Vino+gastronomia, a dutch, a brazilian, and an english. It feels so funny to take time for phone-interviews and to send pressmaterial. But it makes me happy. More work by me and some very talented friends at lula!

Good job!

So happily surprised when I discovered small flowers painted on my toenails when returning from the local thai-salong. Had she asked first I would probably have turned down the offer, but now it came like a nice surprise. It made me think of people who, whatever their job is, is making the most out of it. A joyful busdriver, a nice waitress, or a witty clerk can really change ones day.

City-boy

Finally!

This... became this! One of our little summer-projects.

Catherines studio

Made a visit to one of my dearest friends, Catherine. We have known eachother since we did Gotland school of Art together. She was into sculpture and I was into painting. Today she makes a living sculpturing dolls for museums. Michael modelled for the one on her table. She is so incredibly talented and I am very proud to follow her progress. On top of it all, she and her man Roy is building a new house. Her studiospace was finished first of all. Lovely with people who live their dreams. But, must admit, a little bit freaky to sleep overnight surrounded by all these mideval friends.
