Cups & dish
Today I got 2 of these loooovely ceramic China cups and a little dish too from Shelf on Chesire Street, London. They will be a Christmas present for the most amazingly stunning lady on this planet who deserves proper good-vibes-cups to contain her organic fairtrade vegetarian greenpeace coffee every morning.. By the way she is also outstandingly clever and gorgeous and full of life and soy bean protein. Hopefully she will not read this before Christmas on the 24th of December! I want the teapot for Christmas. Please Santa, please.
The 'slow' book
Book project. Contains 8 'pages' of different wooden boards. Each page has about 40-60 numbered nails and a piece of string. To read the book you have to join up the numbers by manoeuvring the string around the nails, kind of like a children's dot-to-dot. Precision, patience and the ability to count required to read it!
Mat Maitland
Mat Maitland is part of the London-based creative consultancy Big Active and creates these amazing prints using the 1980's colour palette. If only we all had such skill for mastering bright pink feathers, cartoon mountain-scapes and Michael Jackson's pretty pretty face the world would be such an engaging place to wander..
A present for myself
OH YES... A little something I got for myself. The amazing Swedish artist Camilla Engman released this book and YES I ordered it today! My Christmas is saved, and so is the Christmas project! Can't wait to receive it when I go home to Copenhagen.
Merry mince pie!
Red wine, off-beer and mince pies on the last day at LCC. The pies tasted so much more exciting if you had one from the multi-coloured spinning jesus display on the floor. Yummy yes.

Katy Horan
Katy Horan is such a big inspiration. Look at her delicate brush strokes and the precision of these. Gouache on paper - better try that out.
Utopia
Isabelle & I live in Utopia. Now we have heating on a 24-hour basis, which is why my hands haven't gone numb at this point. This flat is such a beautiful place to be. We are very lucky don't you think?
The Factory
A stop-motion animation produced as my first individual project on the Graphic & Media Design course at London College of Communication! It is a visual comment to a tailoring factory / sweat shop in East London. Definitely worth the 11 hours of backache I would say. The trippy music is by the genious Bjørn Torske in case you're wondering.
Visual diary
A few bits from my visual diary I kept in my Foundation year at Chelsea College last year. Oh the times.
Patience
Our flat is freezing cold. Even though there are so many things to look forward to in winter I still can't get lazy summer evenings and swimming in the lakes of North Zealand out of my head.
Work for Sessún
Here are the 16 embroideries currently exhibited and sold in the Sessún boutique in Paris. I have assisted the amazing Carolina Melis for this project and now we are working on a new butterfly display for the shop in Marseille. It's sooooo exciting! So in case you're wandering around the streets of Paris stop by 34 Rue de Charonne to have a look at them!
