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 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 ...

A hate-love relationship

 I have a love-hate relationship to washing. I love the feeling of putting things in the washing machine. If I don't have things in the washing basket ready for washing I go for a hunt around the apartment looking for things that can do with a wash. This behavior is totally inherited from my mother who could ask me to take clothes off so she could wash it ( possible that they also smelled a little horsey..) As much as I love the washing moment I hate the feeling of having to fold and put away washed and dried cloths.And don't even mention ironing, I refuse, a crease or two has never hurt anyone... These days the washing pile is bigger but at the same time more bright and colorful. Sweet little clothes for a sweet little girl. Jag har ett speciellt förhållande till att tvätta kläder, en passionerad hatkärlek. Kärleken riktas mot att få stoppa in kläder i tvättmaskinen för tvätt. Finns det inte mycket i tvättkorgen letar jag rätt på något som kan behöva en tvätt. ...
