New year – new inspiration

Last day of January already! I started the year by finishing several projects. First, I made the last pieces for my internationel group project with TexNet2. Our first exhibition will be at the European Patchwork Meeting in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in September.

Next I made the finishing touches on some quilts for the Norwegian Quilters Association’s meeting in March. Unfortunately, I can not share these with you yet.

But I have also been working on some new inspiration, first, just playing around with scraps and thread, some Slow stitchhing:

I don’t know where this will lead me, time will show.

And I spent most of january studying stones in my garden, at the beach and in the neighbourhood, drawing with Fineliner and Inktense pencils. First I just filled a large sheet with random drawings:

which I then cut up and made into a little «Stone Book», with the possibility to fill in more later:

It is a small book, only 9,5×9,5 cm. But I love the format.

I have made myself a promise to publish here a little more often, I just hope I can fulfil that promise…

Welcome

I love to make things. I like knitting in the evenings, and tending my garden. I love to work with fibres, to colour and shape things. I find great inspiration in older Japanese design, the art of Hiroshige and Hokusai being my favourites. I also dabble a bit with bookmaking, binding my own sketchbooks to play in and fill with my research, as well as making textile books.
