My contribution to the upcoming Varsko! U exhibition in Trondheim this sunday.
The works will be printed on canvas in 95 x 97 cm size. The photographer is Øyvind Haug, and all the additional graphics are done with black and red Bic ballpoint pens. The theme of the exhibition is "U".
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the exhibition myself, but hopefully pictures of the exhibition will be up on the Varsko! flickr site.
Also be sure to check out more info on the Varsko! site here.

Made a little trip to Brussels a couple of weeks ago. It was heaven I`m telling you!
The best summer weather, hand made chocolates, Belgian waffles, trips to Brugges, Gent and the Star Wars exhibition (Rune`s goal for the trip). So nice to just walk around looking at all the amazing architecture, medieval castles and canals. We also went back to our favorite chocolate shop in Gent that we visited seven years ago. I have been dreaming of the caramel truffles they make there for years, and finally we got to taste them again. And they were even better than I remembered! Oh, yum! They even have a glass window in the floor so that you can see down to the chocolate factory in the basement. So cool.
I even found some amazing old photos in an old postcard shop for my "found pictures" collection. I will post some of them here as soon as I get them scanned. The rest I will post on flickr.
I also found a mushroom for my mushroom collection, but it was made of chocolate (of course) and I ate it before I could take a picture. :)
So therefore I`m posting the pride of my mushroom collection here as a replacement. It`s my favorite antique mushroom book that I bought in Utrect last year. I just looove this cover!

Tomorrow I hop on a train that will take me all the way back to Stockholm again. I decided to travel with the train all the way to Stockholm this time to get to see a little of the countryside, and to get to listen to my ever growing collection of audiobooks and podcasts.
I will also pack up a big box of scrumptious food, and just munch and relax.
My mission this time is to attend the Kolla! seminar and award ceremony. Since I am the only foreign jury member, my job is to stand up on stage and give away flowers and prizes to the winners together with Bosse, who will announce the winners.:)
I can`t wait to see the other jury members again, and to finally see the faces and people behind all that amazing work that was sent in.
Going to Sweden again made me think of some golden oldies I saw on TV as a kid.
Like Jätten Jorm. He is the coolest, I love his cloud hat. :)
The one that always made me hide behind the sofa (yes, superscary) was Vilse i Pannkakan. I mean what is more scary than a giant potato saying "pat pat pat", dolls with one foot, and rotating pancakes, right?

It`s finally here!! Just now, a package was delivered to me, and inside was my very own porcelain tapas set from Figgjo with a fish decor that I designed for The Norwegian Exportcouncil for Fish! The line is called "Something Fishy", and will be in shops soon.
This is such a dream come true for me to design my own porcelain decor. And in addition have it produced by my absolute favorite norwegian porcelain manufacturer. Yay!
Have to sit down for a bit now, I`m feeling all light headed, ha ha.
