Arctic life


starting my journey even higher north with fog, so beautiful





getting started, we met the sun breaking through


trees like suger sculptures







This is the mining in Kiruna, sun is low at this time,
and even the smoke is beautful





at the bus station. frozen in line




the town hall in Kiruna. Soon to be moved to another place where there is
no iron ore underneath.  The whole town is to be moved when the ore is going to
be explored.












this is a cold spot with the mountians behind

Winter-Blues


This is all about winter and the beuty of snow appearing one morning
when you do not expect it to happen in a big city in the southwest of Swden where it
seldom happens.








The snow makes everything simple a piece of art








view from my window in Gothenburg this particular morning








my home in the background








Gothenburg Central Train station
I am about to leave on a long trip, 19 hours on train, to reach 
my hometown in the very north







this is still south of Sweden, ourside train window
like travelling through lace

Little me

I am warm in my little fur. I am maybe four
 and visiting my grandmother. It is her house
you can see. I still have that little furcoat somewhere.

on my worktable today













halfway through these signatures 
in my winterbook.
The first one but not the last one.
I love winter and all the colours you
can find in cold weather.
In snow, in ice, in the air and not to mention the skies.

studio moments


doing a on-line workshop with Roxanne Evans Stout and
the inspiration level rises for each week.
this is a desktop collage which is so fun and you do not ever
want to stop arranging your beautiful stuff.





another project of mine is building houses.
this one is wrapped in fabric coloured by me and then stiched
it´s like meditation to sit with paper and glue to build a house.

from dawn to dusk











Travelling from north to south. as I am not driving, I can concentrate
on the outside view and use my phone to capture the scenery.
The sun is not going so high on the sky in wintertime so the sky can get really
lovely soft colours.

nature for a break

Been away. going north.
need the snow
need the mountains
Love the soft skyline and the different skies
and the graphic of trees without leaves
enjoy!
