Just wanted to share the wonderful sketchbook of artist Sabine Timm. She has made these wonderful little sketchbook films, I keep watching them over and over.

You can see them here, here, here and here. :)

Can anyone tell I`m hooked on Spoonflower these days?
Just got this apple fabric in the mail the other day. A bit more ordinary than my the other prints perhaps, but I like the bright summer feel to it.

I`ve been wanting to do fabric pattern design for a long time, and today i got my first Spoonflower samples! I LOVE them! The quality on the print is really good, and even got the fine lines I put in some of the patterns.
Some minor adjustments, and I`ll put them up for sale in my
account.

I especially like the Lake Islands and snail prints.
Think they would look so nice as scarves.

Saturday was spent moding Monki jeans, and it was so much fun! I had glitter, sequins, paint and glue all over when I got home. There were neonlights, disco balls, Cindy Lauper, and lots of people moding jeans and t-shirts. Kinda felt a bit like this. :)

Another one of my favorite designers, this time finnish designer Raija Uosikkinen. I`ve not been able to find much information about her, but she worked for Arabia Finland in the 50s and 60s producing the most wonderful patterns and illustrations.

I`ve not been able to find the name on the casserole pattern, but the jam jars are called Pomona, and the dish at the bottom are from a series called Emilia.

I really love her crisp drawing style and bold colors.

As my last posts have been porcelain themed, I`d thought I`d just continue and show you one more of my favorite norwegian pattern designers.

The two dishes above are of a pattern called "a la carte" by Figgjo, designed by Hermann Bongard.

Hermann also worked with Hadeland Glassverk and produced some beautiful glass pieces.

I really love this pattern, and always keep a lookout for it at my thrift market. Unfortunately it is hard to come by and often overpriced. But who knows, I might be lucky right?

Scored myself a beautiful Kari Nyquist plate at my local thrift market some time ago. I really love her illustrations, and her plates are such treasures.

This one is made as a commission for the Norwegian housewifes association in the 1960s. So cool!
