Sunday a fika time with a very important friend, a nice time with small
talks and nice
coffee at café Marmelad a snow and grey day.
I saw a tea glass looking at me in the end of the fika time… strange and
funny.

the first pipe guys of the year...
A chained
up pipe guy…
Two pipe guys that have been out on a party…
or?
on my walk...
Cp doll, I like this doll in one way and unlike it in another, I like
the idea more than the
product.
ja varför behöver vi konst?!

GIFF...
GIFF now the Gothenburg International Film Festival is here… I have no
plans to joy the
festival, but it´s hard to not be involved in it, it’s a big event and
I´m happy for it, I think
the grey January and February get a nice light color as a result of the
GIFF.
The city or Järntorget and the area around are blossom right now.
Photo at distance, Järntorget Saturday.
Someone has placed two film chairs in a little grove or public park close
to the inner city,
I like the idea and the image when I see it from the tram every morning when
I go to
work… It looks like a calm place in the city.
Les Miserables...
Friday made my weekend; I have always had some
kind of wired passion to Les Miserables and now the film are here.
It was
amazing and I had all the great songs in my head the whole weekend.
text from the coolest corner, Nordic Jeweller...
From the book; From the coolest corner, Nordic Jewellery ,
Widar Halén (ed.) Arnolsche, Nasionalmuseet
Existing and non-existing boundaries by Päivi Ruutiainen
“A everyday object in a recyclable material, such as the plastic hip
flask by Paula
Lindblom, is made just a precious as a gold piece. The focus on materials
has been
replaced by a focus on ideas.
When comparing art jewellery from different countries, we often look for
defining national
traits. In the Nordic cultures we find that many overarching elements
find similarities
in their themes. Nature is traditionally considered a significant theme,
animals and plants
especially. The relation to the untamed and indigenous nature has from
time to time
Indisputably become somewhat ironic. For instance, Paula Lindblom´s jewellery is a
statement on ecological matters. The array of varied themes in art
jewellery is
fascinating: the political has become personal statements which can be
small and daily
themes, but we also witness bigger and large themes living parallel to
them. These
themes can be intertextual and can comment on matters related to society
or art. In this
way the emphasis on jewellery´s capability to communicate contents to
the viewer has been increasingly underlined.”

heja heja...
Jag är grymt
imponerad av dessa två konstnärer Karin Jonsson och Magdalena Nordin som med knappa medel protesterar (eller visar på) för allas
vår räkning. Heja heja!!!

Paula Lindblom at the coolest corner - Nordic Jewellery 2013.
Today I took a walk in a light snowy weather to pick
up my catalogue from the coolest corner- Nordic jewellery exhibition; Mona
Wallström had been nice and takes it with here on her trip to Oslo this opening
weekend.
Love Jönsson had added a great text to my jewellery
and that I´m very very grateful for.
Ingjerd Hanevold...
I also got a lovely catalogue from Ingjerd Hanevold,
Thank you Ingjerd!
It was a lot of great jewellery and inspiration
images, I´m glad that I got it, I like Ingjerds way of being a jewellery artist
and person, she is one of the once that I believe could be wake up in the
middle of the night and tell you what jewellery are…
KLINK and friends present - The Black of Night.
And finally I also got a envelope from gallery Klink
in Oslo, a galleria I didn´t know about before, but I know some of the artist that
show their pieces there, so one again this day was like a kinder egg, three surprises
in one.
The drab about the 2 cards from galleria Klink is that
you don´t know whom who has done what… I had been happy if the name of the
artist was connected to the images. But this is something that often happens in
“our” world, we suppose to know who the artist is.

to cook is also a way of being artistic…
I got the question from my 12 year old niece Tova; can
you cook?!
Yes I can… here is the proof.
Cod stew á la Paula
400 g Cod
Coco’s milk
2 Onions
3 Carrots
½ Red chili
1 cans Sweet corn
Ca 1, 5 dl Green soya beans
Salt, white pepper, sambal olec, olive oil
Served with rice.
Smaklig måltid!
I´m not a user of recipes, I almost always create my
own food the way I think I will have it…
I´m a fishetarian so I like to cook fish in different ways and I´m happy to live close to the ocean and the fish country side so to speak.

As the famous chef from Sweden Cajsa Warg said; man
tager vad man haver…Use what you have. I think that is a good way of cooking,
it´s more fun and also very creative way of cooking and almost always I success
I can tell.
Or the true that she never used that expression
Tradition has attributed the saying man tager vad man
haver ("use what you have") to Warg, though there are no accounts
of her having used this expression. Although this precise words has became
strongly associated with her, the saying is not mentioned in her book. The
words Man tager, om man så hava can ("Use, if it is in your
possession"), with a similar meaning, is however mentioned a couple of
times.
And you can also find another recipes of my at Lisa
Lubins site.
orange peeler...
This is a plastic thing that I like in this orange time…
a great invention. I use it every time I peel an orange.
Sometimes simplicity is
the best.
orange juice by hand...
This is an invention that is a little more suspect I
think, the idea was may be a great idea but the function is not so good, this
product some of my relatives sold in the 1960, you drill the plastic into the
orange and the you squish it and the orange juice will end up under the cap… This
will not happen I can tell.
These days I use this product as a talk about and as
you have a guess it isn’t goods for anything, more than just a talk about.

once again... a way of working...
Some new ideas begin to grow… I have started “once again” to needle felt and now I
will do bird brooches… to see what’s come up… my idea is 10 birds at the
beginning.
A small series.
Here is the first one and the second once that on its
way…
sometimes the breezily ways are good enough…
Friday eve… The coolest corner – Nordic jewellery exhibition
starts in Oslo and I am not there… I had a micro party with a friend in my
small kitchen, not so glamorous at all, but very cozy, very nice and a very
very funny evening.
I believe that I’m a simple and uncomplicated person,
I´m not dependent on nice surfaces; I like simplicity and big hearts among friends,
which is enough, it´s okay eating directly from the box…
Uprightness and attendance is things that I appreciate
a lot and this evening was in that sign, with a truly friend that I care a lot about
and that I felt is a good person in every way you want a friend to be.
I hope that the opening in Copenhagen in June will be
great and that I have the opportunity to be there and be a part, look forward
to meet colleges and go to Copenhagen, I like Copenhagen a lot and it will be
great to go there once again in the beginning of the summer.

weep baby weep…
Karin Jonsson my artist hero (and
friend) and I hope she will be a hero for many more, we need this kind of artist
that help us all, to highlight the problem in a very very clear way of doing
it, could it be clearer with a locked door and someone weeping behind it?!
First you felt empathy and want to give moral or emotional strength to the one and then you get frustrated and irritated over the one that never stops
weeping.
I have to say that this is the
best art right now, an artist that places the finger right on the weak spot of being
an artist these days.
It´s hard and it cost a lot,
money, time and engagement and what do we get for it??? Nada if the politician decides
and they do.
GRATTIS GRATTIS GRATTIS Karin you nailed it!

ställtid - breathing time...
Right now in the
middle of January I have some kind of ställtid - breathing time, to get my
ideas and my time in order, to rest in something that will come up in the end.
I thinking and thinking, looking and searching get inspired and just are in the
moment… As an artist, if you don´t have a dead line to catch, you never knows
how long time you need for your breathing time, at least I don´t know, I just know
that this time is very valuable and that it´s a necessary time to have before
you start working practical. This is time that is hard to explain for people
out of the artist area, it looks like I´m doing nothing and in the same time
this is the time I doing the mostly work, the preparing time before the practical
time, when I start work practical I know more or less for sure what I am doing
and why.
I read an interview with
the author Paulo Coelho and he said that the last book took about 64 year and 5
months to think over and 3 week to add on paper.
