bits and bobs

Life´s pretty busy
and as usual I am
into many different
arty projects.
As to this "busyness"
one needs to calm
down at times-
contemplate, and
ignore the fact that
next thing is around
the corner.

Relax and enjoy life!

My work at an interior shop nearby.

At work. My students and I are visiting the Art Hall.

A little exhibition with my paintings in an eco-shop out on the countryside.

Bottles in window. Make surroundings inspiring.

Art class room

After a hectic week and
lovely Saturday...
I took a Sunday walk down to my
work, the art class room.
As you probably remember
I have moved from my art
studio and I have no place to
go yet
but
fortunately I can go to
this wonderful place during
the weekends.
I simply had to sit down and
do some creative stuff.
Will show soon.

But first...
Here a few pics from that
creative spot!

See ya.

Hi from me.

closet favorite

I really do not like posing
for a camera
but
since I started with Instagram I
kind of have got used to it a
little and I suppose people
want to see you in person from
time to time so I need to loosen up
and just go with the flow.

However,
I paid my work a little
visit the other week and
since I
work with art and my surroundings
always are in creative chaos I cannot
wear my best clothes but now on my
vacation I happened to have my
closet favorite on me so I had to take
a couple
of quick photos in the classroom mirrors.

I know, I know,
I don´t look like
I am so wide awake-
maybe it´s
vacation that makes me a bit lazy looking.

My home never looks this tidy...I think this is just a dream.

Walks down the sea...

My studio...my love...

Collages for a store...

Work piling up?

Soon, very soon I am back to work as art educator...Here my students´ work...

I work in this lovely house....

Creative space- my office!

Love spending time with my kiddies...

And the love of my life- the bearded man...

We´ve got loads of fun...

At times I need to rewind and see some creativeness around me...

Or just some fun things!

Or just walk around in beautiful surroundings.

But most of the time I want full speed forward!

This is what I am having for breakfast.

display window/ skyltfönster

I joined a group at the local second hand "Second Chance" which do the the display windows. I had the priviledge to do my very first one a couple of weeks ago...But gee- it was hard- so much great stuff to choose from!

Be creative.

I found these lovely striped and patterned books. I simply just put in a row on the floor.

I found some striped chairs to match the books. The blue was the highlighted colour.

I created a retro look with some colourful items.

I think these wooden objects were really pretty.

Aren´t these swans cute and sooo kitsch!

environmental project x-mas/ miljöprojekt jul

In December 2010 I had the priviledge to join my students on an environmental project with a few creative pieces.

A Christmas calendar. In the cans and packages I had written small notes like:" let a friend know that you like him/her"...
