New technique

A few weeks ago I decided to broaden my artistic horizons and to try a new technique. I have seen quite a lot painted in gouache and got interested to try. Gouache is similar to watercolors but is richer and non-transparent. I like the fact that you can paint lighter colors on a dark background. I have been trying and testing, but to be honest is going so and so... But I am not giving up (just get...) Here are a few samples of what it looks like at the moment..

Jag bestämde mig för några veckor sedan att vidga mina konstnärliga vyer och prova på en ny teknik. Jag har sett en hel del i gouache och blev nyfiken. Gouache är en täckande vattenfärg som ger fyllighet och häftiga nyanser. Framförallt kan man måla ljusa mönster uppepå en mörkbakgrund vilket jag tyckte lät spännande. Jag har provat och testat en del de senaste veckorna, men det går så där i ärlighetensnamn. Skam den som ger sig, här kommer lite smakprov på hur det ser ut just nu..

Weekly update 38/52 Örebro Autumn market in summer sun

  It was exciting to participate at my first market being back in Örebro, Sweden. It was an Autumn market in the beautiful setting of Karlslund Estate in Örebro. Most exhibitor were selling locally grown fruit, veggies and flowers. Also jams, marmelades, bakeries and cheeses. It was a sunny beautiful day and it attracted a lot of people. It was fun to finally again set up my display and show my products. The market stand/table I rented from the organizer and it was perfect size and cute. My best-sellers were my hats in smaller sizes. Amd to next market I need to make more fleece-lined hats since it gets cooler here in Swedem during the winter.

Weekly update 41/52 Time for warmer hats, nice books and last garden projects

  October and week 41 and I have been making lots of new jersey hats with fleece lining. The weather is getting colder and colder and yes hat season is here. I will during the week add new fun warm hats in my web-shop. The hats will also be sold at Christmas markets here in Örebro.  New this year for me is that I am making baby hats since I got a lot of requests. I find it hard to make baby hats because they look so small, it is hard to remember how small babies are.  Also this week big happiness over at new book release from my favorite children book illustrator Sven Nordqvist. "Vägen Hem" a wonderful book with amazing illustrations.   I have also bought and planted some new plants inspired from some nice park arrangements here in Örebro. Now lets hope that all the deer in the forrest will not eat all of these, as I forgot to check wether or not these are tasty to them. In our country-house in the forrest they tend to come and eat everything they like and they ...
