Its so quite at home and around the workshop today. Feels good with a bit of space when trying out some new patterns and colours for ceramic pictures. If they are only pictures or also something to use and serv from, I still do not know. And its not important.
These perticular ones I will bring for the market ala London, now on saturday in Gothenburg. That I know:)

Trying out  stripes on my bowls. It comes out a bit like a lollipop, at least when red like this one! I'll burn and see how it appears!  And below .....hmm a mix of things on my table. And in my head, I hope I won't miss anything I have promised or planned. I'd better go and post that brown box right away. My 3 year old Tora will probably be happy for a ride on her bicycle at the same time, and so we have done 2 good things this afternoon!

Today I spend my time at the little shop FOF in Gothenburg! Brought a large bag full of DOTmugs to fill up. At home our greenhouse has got both roof and walls of glass, my romantic man of the house, bought prawns for us to eat under the new roof in the mess of gravel, screws and all. Selebrating this step of the building. Sweet:) ...well he takes every opportunity to eat prawns, by the way!!

My square formed pieces has been polished outside in the sun. The dust from this blows away best outside. I'm looking foreword to decorate them next week, both small and larger ones.

I'm thinking lots about different types of GIFTS these days!
It's truly the time for gifts now this month...students ending their school, Weddings perhaps and Mother's Day as well! Mothersday only in Sweden I beleave, and at other date in other countries!

Would mother like a MUM family pot? Hmm...  and the student. A teacup, a tea jar perhaps .. a combination of these would be good in my mind! I will make some different combinations anyway to give possibility to choose.

You can probably see the result later this week already, in the web shop:)

Yesterday  I had the door to my workshop opened all day, warm an friendly weather!! In the back of or house a greenhouse is now about to be built up, it all started yesterday with sorting the parts out. It's  a giant puzzle! I followed the process from a distance and will bring you pictures in a while!

Myself I continued polishing new forms and put decals on to some objects, that soon will leave from here!! Or rather fly away perhaps..

Tuesday 13 May 2014

My multicoloured large pot got some new photos today. And while fixing with this and sending pictures and mails and also polishing on some new forms for C&B ( not yet public!)...I forgot my appointment with my economic adviser and great support with finanses!! Feels like shit really! Im hopelessly "disträ" (dont know the english word for this)!!



Monday 12 May 2014


In Germany this magazines COUCH comes in 2 sizes (and 2 prices)!! It must be both effective and reachable for more people I beleave. Happily so for me this time, when my small wingtail birdpots are in it!!

Sunday 11 May 2014

A relaxing weekend is soon to end, with time at home and in the garden. My garden that I love so much and that is always changing. Its having so many unfinnished projects and dreams...  Yesterday I cleaned our entrence ( a few years since last time) and cut the graas. With a hand mashine this time! I can feel it in my arms:) Today its been lots more rain and we, me and 9-year old Siri, planted small tomatoe plant in to new pots! The windows in our kitchen is now home for both small new plants and my own herbs and spices!




See here also my Sagaform teacup in action. The evening has been a mix of music, memory and  cycling a small plastic yellow truck. This last activity together with my 3-year old girl!


Life would absolutly be far less interesting without these smaller people, bringing my focus on something else but ceramic for a while!!

Friday 9 May 2014

Photos, photos   ..trying to make some nice shots of pots with herbs inside them! Im not a photografer at all, but without good photos the ceramic pieces wount have much of a future:) I do my best!



 Have filled fruits and bisquites inside figurepots aswell today.

Animalcups are getting bodies, shaped out of cut papers. Eyes and nose are pot on with liquids coloured clay! Now is only the scratching of lines left to do...


Wednesday 7 May 2014

Its raining since many days now, I'm anyway mostly inside. In workshop. Continued with more Animalcups, since I will need about a 100 of these for Gotland in June! I will make a trip to this lovely island when it's time to deliver for a summer selling! A short vacation with my girls and sister! Im really looking foreword to this!! See here all sweet colours for the cups! Before burning they are also so matt and nice in a different way, compared to when they are burned and ready to use!

Today I continued doing my Animalcups!  The oldest product in workshop!!
I've done several of these throw the years. I made the first one when had I just received my puppy Wilma. Wilma was a mixed breed, lovely and large and black! This was 1997 in spring! From this day the Animalcups (or Byrackamuggar, as they are called in sweden) been more and new figures and colours have arrived! First dogs, then a few cats and so a horse...Ive had many requests of different dog breeds, even though these figure never have been totally "breed-perfect" :))
Yesterday I got 20 new cups out of the kiln. You can see some new colours here aswell. A purple and one bright red, that I did not have before! I still do not have any of anyof these in the shop, but just bring me mail if you like to order any of them!
I´ll happily recieve comments of good or less good colours and figures:)



Monday 5 May 2014

My open workshop yesterday was a happy event   ... meeting and eating:) And Im quite sure I had many happy buyers aswell!

Today Im fixing things back to normal and feeling really good about a fresh surrounding with clean floors and windows and smell of fantastic herbs. I filled my new herbpots with plants
yesterday, see black and white ones here! I will put them into the webshop any day now:) The surface of the black is rough and dry, the same surface as on the MATEmugs outside! Has a feeling of clay and you wount find anything like it in the stores out there!! I like it a lot:)) The white is soft and smooth and less shiny , if you compare it to the DOT collection for instance!

Saturday 3 May 2014

 I'm preparing for a Sunday -open -workshop, with some offers and nice meetings I hope! Open for everyone to join! And how good this is also for my floors and shelfs and overall look!! It has not been so clean here for a long time.. So please feel welcome come here! Lots and lots of good pieces to even better prices and I will also bring you a coffee along with that:)

Friday 2 May 2014

An overheated cable was the reason to the bad burning....my own falt offcause! No one else to blame. I turned the kiln and the cable got to close to the outer surface of the hot kiln! Lots of pieces will have to go to the " not so perfect cups to a reduced price" -bin!!
