I don’t know why, but I really, really like things with animals in it… It reminds me about my childhood and makes me happy. It is the mixed of serious and playfulness that started up “new” thoughts, put things in other directions that I like…

Smörgåsbord [ˌsmœrɡɔsˈbuːɖ] or julbord is a Swedish word which refers to a type of Scandinavian meal served buffet-style in Swedish cuisine.


Today they have a nice Christmas julbord at Nääs handicraft & design school, and I was invited…
It was really, really good food and good company!

grey and grey...

My working place/area till Christmas, one week more… Nääs Fabriker, Tollered.

Today I took these two photos just to show how it could looks in Sweden when it is a grey blanket all over the landscape… It’s always nice with snow when it’s wintertime, but here in the South of Sweden it nearly almost like this, grey and cold and no sun at all…
I don’t know if I ever get used to this winter weather… up in the North of Sweden it could be colder, but it never felt like this and the sun and the snow light up the landscape up in the North… Just now I longing for going “home”.

no name...

When you get the paper to order the book about 247 craft artist in Sweden, my necklace photo is one of the example on the paper… I got glad when I saw it, but it’s not so many who knows who has done what…

"This is a very exciting time. I am producing my most recent non-production work since my MFA show. This piece is printed in PA Nylon which helps it flex to fit around the wearer's neck. As always I must thank the folks at Paramount PDS for helping me realize my artistic vision".

Text and photos from Anthonys blog.

For me this is a whole new way of making jewelleries and I like the ideas and I like the result and it want me learn more different way of using the computer…Or, may be I leave this to Anthony ?! He is doing it very well and I’m glad that I found his things out in the cyber space.

I like the shapes, the lines and also of course all the colours!

So, keep up the good work!

Thursday morning...

... not as beautiful as in my old neighbourhoods at Alnö, but close...
we are talking snow, how ever…

my first baby steps...

My first step to use recycling metals in my perhaps new jewelleries…

Here is my first baby steps, may be later on I will show you the result.

Christmas market - the last once this year?!

...

I try to find new shapes, transform them into copper and do some jewellery about it in the end…
I like the idea of put similar shapes together. I can see these shapes as in really big sizes.

Snowy landscape... my old neighbourhoods...

I got these photos from my dad today; it’s from my old neighbourhoods, Alnö up in the North of Sweden. I will celebrate my Christmas and New Year up there and when I see this photos I long for go “home”.
It’s so bright and so beautiful with all the snow in the trees…

17 (18) days to Christmas eve...

I wish you all a joyful Second Advent…
The time runs fast these days…

Karin Jonsson...

I have only heard about this tower with a crying child inside, of course an art piece and not for real, real… I have been fascinated about this art piece even if I have never seen it by my self and I had no idea of who the artist was… I have always admired this artist, even if I don’t know which artist it was/is…
Now I know! It is Karin Jonsson.
I have visited her blog and there I saw her story about this crying sound in the tower.
It’s all about a fairytale that she heard as child about a girl, Rapunzel who get stocked into a tower …

I think this is amazing and also a little bite scary, but that’s the nice in the whole project/art piece/sculpture… You can’t be sure…

Thank you Karin for this kind of art!

I hope I can see it by myself one day… Or is it closed now???

”I mars 2007 satte jag upp installationen Körvel, som var det svenska namnet på sagan om Rapunzel, flickan som blir instängd i ett torn av en elak dam.

Jag tyckte det passade med ett gråtande barn i ett torn som för att fungera som utställningsplats skulle vara låst.

Jag gjorde en lång fläta också, mycket längre och tjockare än vad man tror, som fick hänga ut över kanten.

I sagan kommer det en prins klättrande upp till flickan, på hennes långa gyllene hår, och henne gör han med barn; en detalj jag inte uppfattade då jag läste den som liten.

I min version sitter hon kvar där för evigt, för det finns inte så många prinsar och frågan är om det är en sådan man verkligen behöver.

Kan vi inte ta oss ut själva?Gråten blir sakta äldre och äldre.

Håret grånar och blir tunt och sprött.

Jag funderade över de mentala och sociala torn som vi själva eller andra spärrar in oss i.

Tyvärr finns det många av det kvinnliga könet som helt enkelt inte vågar eller kan gå ut och våld hör till vardagen.

Sagan är flera hundra år gammal men hur ser verkligheten ut egentligen?

Jag ville väl peka på att det är dags att samhället förändras så vi slipper uppleva mer av det som trots allt händer; flickor och kvinnor försvinner, låses in eller blir utsatta för övergrepp.

Allt det här har fått skrämmande aktualitet under våren.

Jag tror inte jag behöver nämna mer om det.

Jag ville hur som helst tolka en saga jag själv fascinerades av och håret och ljudet riggades upp en blåsig dag i mars.

Vi skruvade ganska länge på volymen och fyllde på med högtalare och det lät jättebra.

Min tanke var att man skulle se det belysta håret på långt håll

(tornet ligger högt uppe på ett berg) men höra snyftandet då man närmade sig verket.”
