Rust dying and my work for Calender – July.

I am a little bit late with my works for Calender this month. They are: «With Yellow Pears», a garden full of roses and swans at the lake. 15×15 cm, printed cotton and organsa,

and «Everything should be» like a sunny summers day, 15×15 cm, cotton and silk. Our Calender will not be exhibited untill next spring.

I have spent the last days rustdying, preparing for new work I hope.

This is my last batch still soaked in tea.
These are rinsed and ready for ironing, and
I tried different fabrics, also some hand dyed. But my favorite is this one:
Some of my father’s old tools on a piece of cotton with lace from my childhood dolls bed. Wonder what I can make of it?

Thanks for reading, I hope you have enjoyed this.

Midsummer

Sun and summer

Blue sky

Lying in the grass, looking up on the sky and sun filtered through the grass.

The Calender is unlikely to appear until next spring.

It is finally spring although it was snowing yesterday. Luckilly it melted as soon as it fell down. But there is still frost in the ground, the crocuses gives me hope for warmer weather though. These two white beauties surprises me every year.










And these purple with the saffron stamen:










I say no more…





May is approaching and the Calender will be exhibited again. My quilts for the Calender of April are:










The boat is so quiet





Proud in its silence





These words make me think about the Viking grave-mounds and their contet.





And my second entry:





About the wind and colours of spring!





Easter is here, hopefully it will get warmer and soon my garden will be filled with colours like this, giving me new inspiration!





The Calender is going to be exhibited at Nadelwelt, Karlsruhe in Germany, in May and at the Biennale International d’art textile en Beaujolais in France in June.





Until next time….

My TexNet2 for March
		
                

        
                

     
		    

For March I made two small quilts. Both on the theme «Only this moment», these small things that gives you so much!





The first one happens every year at March 8.  in Longyearbyen in Svalbard. At 14:00 the sun comes back after a long dark winter, the community gathers at the steps of the Hospital to welcome the sun as it rises above the mountain again!










My second moment is from my home city Bergen. Some yesr ago I took this picture in the Park of crocuses:










So I just had to make this little quilt:















Calender will be at display at the Nadelwelt in Karlsruhe in May.
