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 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves.  I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother...

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.
