…I love my plate by Mari Simmulson that I found at a flea market in the middle of nowhere. I think it is the closest to a real bargain that I´ve made. I gave two dollars for it.
Yesterday I went to the prize-giving of the ALMA-award, the biggest international children’s and young adult literature award in the world, in memory of Astrid Lindgren. This years winner is Kitty Crowther. See more of her absolutely wonderful images here. And take your time to see the short film. It was a really nice and inspirational evening. I feel I have to bring out the colored pencils.
Today I went into town to visit a vernissage at Gallery Pascale. My two friends Lasse Skarbövik and Kenneth Andersson showed b/w serigraphies. They are so talented and I couldn´t resist the two at the bottom. They are going to look so nice on my wall.
The weekend is over and it was perfect and SO nice. Since it is a bit far out from Stockholm I was happy that many of my friends took their time and came. The wheater was like a hot summer day and that it how it shall be in a small village in the archipelago. I spent 4-5 hours baking on Friday so everyone could have a coffee break aswell. I sold about 65 of the figures and the remaining ones will keep me company at work. I will take a photo to show which ones are left so if you like someone in particular, you can come by and have a coffee and buy one:-) And I will also check shipping rates.
