These will keep me warm the winter through. Spring isn't here until april if we're lucky. I know these would look better next fall thinking of the colors but I happened to have this wonderful aloe vera yarn that I wanted to do something with and I really needed to practice on the whole sock knitting process. I'm knitting others in blue aloe vera now, but after them I'm gonna lay low with the sock knitting, maybe do a crochet scarf for spring...we'll see.
SauSau, PauPau, MauMau, LauLau, Sauki, Sauri, Dinosaurr, sauuurr, Sauron, ProPro and the cutest little babyblack cat there is.
This is some redone photos I took of Jonas last summer playing the guitar at the rehearsal space.
I really like taking these kind of photos, I used to be very interested in photography (it sure doesn't show, my head is not in for it now) and took some courses and so. I really wanted to be a photographer for live bands. I love going to concerts and the energy most of the band (members) put on stage was really something I wanted to capture. Thinking about it makes me miss it and wants to try to do it again...ahhh I don't know, I think I just may put up some of my old photos here.
The boy with the pullover is the saddest boy I know. He wasn't supposed to live now, instead he longs for something, somewhere else.

This is my dad when he was young. He was a sailor back in the 50's and 60's. Dad used to work with the machinery on boats, I guess sometimes the job passes on to the children as it was with me but as a projectionist. He traveled a lot and met the most beautiful and funny little woman in Argentina, my mom of course. They are still together after more than 30 years! and I'm not sure but it has always seemed that they didn't/don't have to try so hard to be together because they fit so good, the perfect match, the BIG love. That seems so rare these days.
Old photograph redone in Illustrator.
This is Bella and she´s a plain angry cat.
She's a Norwegian forest cat therefore she is just plain beautiful.
I just had to do a case for my ipod. This was just a quickie i did but I was quite pleased with it in the end anyway. I may do another fancier another time though. I sewed it together with a part of some leftover denim from jeans and felt on the inside so my precious ipod wont break if I drop it on the ground like I did with my older nano.
These are my favourite soda bottles ever! They are from Läskfabriken i Vimmerby.
I'm so in love with these illustrations they put on their bottles. The one with the girl training the tiger is my favourite and it was also my first to get. These are my own I bought and received from friends and I sure would like to collect more but I really can't. I'm trying hard not to be a collector of all things.
Here are the finished result of the tiny little baby socks I did the other week. Aren't they adorable? I've started knitting a new pair of socks but in a grown up size for myself this time in wonderful aloe vera yarn.
This doll face needed some sewing! This is my drawing of this weeks topic on Illustration Friday: Stitch.
And there was the morning sun shining through my window! yesterday was the best morning in a long time...
On being crafty, I've bought a pile of different fabrics last Wednesday which I'm going to use this coming week for projects. Lots and lots of fun to do!
100% LOVE.
So I made this flowered hairpin a couple a weeks ago together with the other one I've already put up here. It's such fun doing these flowers that I'm thinking of doing even more! I have a lot of sewing projects in my head and for that I really need a lot of new fabric, lots and lots of it!
...I did at work actually! I haven't been drawing the last 3 days but instead I've been knitting socks, tiny mini ones for a baby, but it was just so that I could learn how to make the heal part fast, no other reason. They are so cute! I was at Vendelas hantverk yesterday learning how to knit them, it was fun and the best part was that I learned something new. I have some details I want to do before I put them up here and that shouldn't take forever.
By the way...I now got a scanner! It really makes the difference.
I wanted to do some fast drawings but not of people so I took this book with photos of birds standing in my shelf just waiting for me and swoooshh an hour had just past. Maybe one day I'll even colour them. I'm just not a big fan of oil colours ( I know I could do some watercolour with it though). I used to be when I was younger but growing up being a little more of a perfectionist I find it somehow hard painting with oil. Not to mention you have to wait for it to dry in order to keep painting, who has the patience for that!!?? certainly not me. I'll stick to my drawing pen.
A new year, a new language. This is some of the last drawings I did in december 2007, theres more of that coming up this week.
