Smart Textillek för SmĂ„ – A Nursery Workshop
Play with thermochromics and lots of excitement: a perfect way of describing my two workshops last week.

International Yarnbombing Day
It was International Yarnbombing Day this Saturday just past and of course this is something worthy of celebration ! So my family and I went to Ystad to take part in tagging their market square, through the event ‘SĂ€tta fĂ€rg pĂ„ Stortorget i Ystad‘.

In the Print Lab
This and last week have had lots of days in the print lab – and I love it! I really enjoy entering that almost meditative colour-mixing state, when your are printing new samples.

I think thatâs why it’s one of my big inspiration sources when I work with patterns …
VĂ€vpoesi – Material Cutting Day

I like re-using material. …
