What´s on my mind right now

Ok. So I haven´t been much of a blogger lately. This is about to change. It has been summer holiday, school has been closed, I´ve been working at a post office, and I´m having a baby very soon. My creativety has somehow been influenced by this unborn baby.


I´ve colored 20-30 years old baby clothes, and they look like new!


Then I make characters out of vintage textiles and buttons and sew the pieces on the clothes.




I´ve also learned to knit. My boyfriend taught me! This is the beginning of a jacket.


What the heck is this? I don´t really know what specie this is, but it´s supposed to be a decorative pillow.

Posters

The posters for "End of the Year Show 09" are all around Oslo now.

Map of our world

Map of our world at Faculty of Design at KHiO. This is another poster for our «End of the Year Show ´09» («Avgang ´09»). We will basically use this A1 sized map folded as a program we hand out at the exhibition in June. Info about the different contries at the Faculty of Design is on the back. This version is used as an electronical invitation, thats why the typo is so big.

Our web page is up and running!

Welcome to KHiO's end of the year exhibition '09. Here you can find information about the exhibition and the design students.

Collage of sketches

I´ve scanned some of my sketches and made a collage. But what is it for? Well, it could be anything. I´ve used it as cover for my portfolio, but I also want to use it as wallpaper and print on bed linen too.

Treasure hunting on a Ship Cemetery

Right now my partner Ronja and I are working on a fantastic project! This week we´re in this projects headquarter at Stokkøya, Sør-Trønderlag, Norway to work on location. I will tell about this project later.


Yesterday, we went to a big ship cemetery to see if we could find some treasures to use in this project. The procect leader, the architect and Ronja are entering one of the ships.


It was a bit creepy, all the ships were just left behind with tons of stuff. Personal belongings, food, instruments, maps and other things.


Lots of funny buttons!


The drawers were full of beautiful maps, and some stencils.


And lots of funny pictograms!




on - on - on
off - off - off








In one ship, we found all the international code flags! Jabbadabbadoo! We´re going to use them in this project.


One of the ships was russian. The personal wall decorations were exclusively toppless women and christian icons.

Christmas vacation in the US

This year I celebrate christmas in the US with my family. It´s the first time I´ve been in the US in December, and what I expected was true, even worse. Key words are plastic, lights and shopping. I miss the Norwegian cold and dark wintertime, but hey, we´re still having a great time, christmas or not!


In the US, many people are so fat, they have to drive an electric car! ÆÆÆÆÆÆ! (screaming)
