happy weekend friends!

ending this week with some pics

unstuffed, but grumpy already

one, two, three

and finally a glass of Rosé ... in case you wonder....no, we did not have the whole bottle yesterday :)

Love the collages of Takashi Iwasaki

long days, short nights

only 9 days left to our opening party and besides creating and packing, we still have a list of "things in the studio to be fixed". I think I love the studio most in the evening and letting the day fade away with a glass of wine makes it even more cozy.

Australian felt work

a few days ago Friederike! and I recieved an incredible gift. A bundle of beautiful felt art made by Australian textile artist Tanya Peters. I so love what she makes from wonderful soft Merino wool. As I have a thing for vessels, I couldn´t be happier about the sweet pod and the little hanging nest she sent and my dresses are happy about some extra color added by these 2 lovely brooches.

Tanya has just openend an etsy store, called Tum Tum Tree Designs, which you should check out and where you can catch some of her amazing felt pieces.

I ordered a copy of "A Year if Mornings", a book by Maria Alexandra Vettese and Stephanie Congdon Barnes.

Nicola from Nicoletter wrote me an email telling me, that there was also a picture showing one of my herzensart vikings, peeping out from behind curtains (yes it´s tiny :o). Besides I always loved the photographs and works of Maria and Stephanie, this was even more a good reason to get their book. This viking was one of my first vikings I´ve ever made (I think it was number 2) and I´m so proud that he´s a member of the Congdon Barnes family.


I even discovered a second pic, showing again the vikings head peeping from a cardboard box :)
Bye for today. Enjoy your Sunday.... will have a piece of homemade apple pie now (cause there are still tons of apples in the cellar...)

another find

our newest studio aquisition... a postcard holder (is this the right expression?). It´s different, it´s old, it´s handmade and I think it´s beautiful.

Not more to say for today... grey weather, lot´s of rain... wishing for sun

happy weekend!

pffffhhhhhhhhhhhh Friday again, is there anybody who speeds up the time?
Just a few pics to wish you a pleasant weekend!

Fafnir, another little green dragon (SOLD)

Bogi and one of her nostalgic treasures....

yes, angels can fly!

Some outtakes of our little shooting, which was a real challenge with 2 camera addicted dogs :)

please help, if you can

Shulas post made me cry

garbage has found me again

while I spend this morning at home waiting for our new couch to be delivered (between 8 and 12 p.m. ...15 mintues left...) I want to share the newest trash can find, from the weekend.
A large box full of fabric left overs, stuffed with small and large pieces was blinking at me, when I brought the studio trash out.... I´m sure they wanted to be found by me, like already for example this table before and this multi-talented sheep :)

weekend pleasures

these cute pics made Friederike!s and my day. They´ve been sent to us by a sweet mommy who has purchased a herzensart viking (named Holgar) and a viking rattle for her little Odin a while back.
Isn´t he the best and there are some parallels to him ...

Maybe we should think about implanting milk dispensers into the horns :)

last one out....

turns off the light - which is Bogi´s part today

b & w

Bogi and I started to display our works. The question was how to bring our completely different métiers, her "serious" photographs and my "playful" textile work, together. First we hung some of her black and white pictures and today I added a few works of my black and white series. That´s a beginning. Guess I will be more courageous in the future...

what we found yesterday

we went to the flea market yesterday to look for some lovely pieces for the studio and happily grabbed some bargains. Nice colored jars, towels and bowls and also some cute plates, which we broke in at coffee and cake afterwards (no more paper plates :))


I so would have loved to purchase the flower power curtains behind this guy, but they were too expensive and he didn´t want to lower the price. Off to the studio now.... Happy new week
