These days we absolutely need "guerrilla" knitting in the entire city’s…

I get happy when I run into something knitting in the city… But I think its a little bite pity that the artist has to be anonymous.
They add colour into our grey everyday life time and for that they should have a big hug and also very, very much credit for!

Which one don’t get happy over this actions???

All knitters around the world; keep up the knitting!!!

some frozen once… from the end of last year…

I found them in my “old” neighbourhoods, at Alnö and in the shopping centre Birsta, Sundsvall.

Mats-Eric Nilsson...

Once again in Swedish, but I have to add this amazing mans name and his site about the consumer society…
Mats- Eric Nilsson is one of my everyday life’s hero’s these days, he writes about how the food industrial processing the food, what they add into it and what they take away from our food… Very, very interesting and I hope this book will be translated into English, or may be it’s already in English??? I hope so!

Mats-Eric Nilsson, thank you and keep up the good work!

Navid Modiri...

This is in Swedish, but for us Swedish people it could be fun to see what we can do, here is 365 things to do...
http://www.365saker.se/



This could be a nice project 2009, I will follow it and see where it ends.
Good luck and keep up the good work!

INFO
VAD ÄR 365 SAKER DU KAN GÖRA?
365 saker du kan göra är en lista på 365 saker du kan göra. Projektet startar som en blogg 1:a januari 2009 på www.365saker.se, därefter publiceras ett inlägg per dag, en sak om dagen som du kan göra. Målet är att läsarna själva ska göra dessa saker och att bloggen också fungerar som en mötesplats och ett forum. Det kommer också figurera gästbloggare i form av kända namn och oupptäckta kreatörer.
Det finns planer på att utveckla 365 saker du kan göra till en bok och en workshop.
Initiativtagare är radioprofilen och musikern Navid Modiri som tröttnade på att sitta i en studio och recensera populärkultur.

REDAKTIONEN
Inspiratör, Lekledare & Redaktör: Navid Modiri
Form & Redaktör: Elsa-Maria Gustavsson
Webmaster: Jacob Brydolf
Medarbetare: Alexander Kandiloros

I look forward to meet you…

Agusti Casanova and Montserrat Lacomba Cots, I get this lovely photo by e-mail from my “new” and dear friend Montserrat.

Sara Borgegård at galleri Hnoss...

Arkitektur i smyckeformat
Sara Borgegårds uppmärksammade smycken hyllar maskinernas och konstruktionernas estetik.
Galleri Hnoss och Konstepidemin presenterar stolt smyckekonstnären Sara Borgegård.

År 2007 tog Sara Borgegård sin magisterexamen på Konstfacks utbildning för metallformgivning i Stockholm. Redan då hade hon många internationella utställningar bakom sig och idag kan hon lägga till ytterligare några på sin lista.
Borgegård inspireras av artificiella miljöer. Strukturer som vi idag tar för givet och betraktar som fullkomligt naturliga men som är konstruerade och arrangerade av människan.
I Borgegårds smycken kan man hitta influenser från byggnader och maskindelar. Inte bara formspråket påminner om industriella konstruktioner. Även huvuddelen av materialet, som järnplåt och träspill från industrier anspelar på en tillverkningsprocess och ett uttryck som historiskt sett är motsatser till de som förknippas med traditionella smycken.
Trots detta kvarstår ändå smyckets dekorativa karaktär vilket Borgegård väljer att demonstrera via färg. Genom att täcka de strama konstruktionerna med färglager i bjärta toner gör konstnären dem till sina egna fantasifulla byggnadsverk.

Välkommen!
Med vänliga hälsningar

Marta Miguel...

My dear friend Marta is an amazing artist I think!

I like/love her way of seeing things, and add them together, she use colour and playfulness in her jewelleries and that is some thing I really appreciate and got a lots of good energy from, it makes me happy and it makes me want to do things by myself, Marta is a really good source of inspiration.
Marta also presents her ideas in a very clear way… it’s a lot of structures.

So Marta, keep up the good work!!!

sketch when I doing something else…

Sometimes when I “watch” television, I do small drawings out of a starting line and see where I get, often it become small crazy creatures or seeds/vegetables…
I like them, but it’s just for having something in my hands, like telephone scrawl.
I collect them and in some I can find an interesting line or a shape that I can use in my 3-D jewelleries, or into something else… You never know.

pipe guys from Milano...

Photos of pipe guys from my dear friend Lisa, who is out travelling…
Thank you, thank you!!!I need come up with something to do with all this, for me amazing pipes.
But I collect them till I know what to do… So, keep up sending me pipe guys from all over the world. I get happy over it!

Buon Natale from Italia!!

Here are some “mini pipettes” from Milano!!
They are cute and tiny all over town.

Kisses & kramkram!
