One week in Dublin.














Sunrise,
I can see it from the window.













Our feet take us around…














New shoes for my husband.















Environment of Tara – the centre of Kingship in Early Ireland.

































Newgrange, these symbols where made 5000 years ago (time, time…!)




























And all these stones…small parts but together strong and conform an huge entity.















Jack Piersons art in IMMA - Irish museum of modern art.
It moves your heart!
You must see it if you
have opportunity.
















McDermott and McGough (also at IMMA)
Handpainted tapestry – Wonderful!

















Coffee with family and Guinnes at the pub…

Fabulous bookstores, new finds – all these fantastic illustrators.

To sit in several hours and enjoy new books…

Write letter... (this correspondence card made by SUKIE)

And now, it is good to be home again!

The most good-looking and comfortable sweaters I know!

Jag ska resa till Dublin en vecka och jag grejar med packningen och tänker att jag är så glad för mina tröjor!!!!!!!!! Känner mig alltid fin och ”rätt” klädd när jag har någon av dessa.

Mjuka kroppsnära modeller i ett material som är både varmt och luftigt! Mönstren är så genomtänkta och färgskalan är urskön.

Min vän Christina Edursdotter formger och driver hela verksamheten från en gård i Kinna. Kolla in hennes hemsida och njut av alla variationer…

I will go to Dublin this week and it takes time to pack the suitcase and I intend that I am very fond of my sweaters!!!!!!!!! I always feel nice and” correct” dressed when I have some of these. Soft body close in a material that are both warm and airy! The pattern are well thought-out and the range of colour is so beautiful. My friend Christina Edursdotter is the designer and she works from her studio on a farm in Kinna (close to Göteborg). See her homepage and enjoy it…

GLAD PÅSK

Jag har inspirerats av den sköra äggformen i många år och möjligheten att variera dekor, struktur och uttryck är så stor.

Det är så härligt med symboliken och alla associationer. Det hemliga, barndomsminnen kring förväntan, ursprungets magi…

I have made ceramic eggs in many years. The original shape and the possibility to vary the decoration and the expression are inspirating. The egg creates many thoughts… secrets, memories of childhood and magic…

What is your association…?

Happy Easter!

My own stamps made by clay creates this structures and surfaces.

This ceramic pictures are burned in raku, than I painted the faces with acryl colour. I have produced several similar images but I think they turned a bit different with this green finish.

I have written on these previously and now I am doing it once again (I really love them).

Old well-made lace cloths really affect and touch me. Think about all these women who put so much work and time into them, so much concentration ...

Often they are placed under some objects ...

Later thrown away or forgotten ...

I became very inspired of Andrea Tachezys post yesterday. Intended on my own youngest daughter's small clay animals that she give me some years ago. It lies, rests and calm on a hand crochet lace (I collect on these lace cloth.)

Kajsa Ullmans expressions are so wonderful, I love the soft colours and the ideas are sow worked through performed. The small buttons and lace makes that the whole becomes really good. See this tea pot-warmer both as Alice (in wonderland) and the rabbit.

Anna-Karin Sjöblom works with” vaxbatik” and creates unique fabrics. Look at these chairs cover, which structure and colour feeling .

Many others have produced both teapots, cups, cake-dishes and trays and it is very nice to do a small exhibition like this together in "Öster om ån".

Afternoon tea





























I am a member in the handicraft cooperative " Öster om ån" in Uppsala and we have a shop and gallery together. On Saturday, it is opening for our common exhibition” afternoon tea” and I have made this new tea set that I call ” spring flowers”.

Tea cups with decorations ” boy and girl friends”

Workplace














Lust och ro och att skapa sin egen verklighet. Man håller fortfarande på, det är inte riktigt klart än, man får se vad det blir, senare…

Att man ”glömmer bort sig” och försvinner in i bilden eller leran.
Önsketid för barn, unga och vuxna!

Maria taggade mig ” visa din arbetsplats”, vanligtvis jobbar jag i min keramikverkstad men har fortfarande paus och grejar mest med papper, så här stökigt är det då!

Peace and quiet and about creating your own reality.

One is still doing, it is not quite completed yet, one has to wait and see what it becomes … later... That one ”forgets oneself” and disappears in the picture or the clay. “Wishing-time” for children, young people and adults.

Maria tags me” show your workplace”, normally I works in my ceramic studio but I have still pause and tinkers most with papers, sow here untidy is it then!
