It might look like I’ve been totally absent from prints and patterns for the last month, but as they say, less activity on the website doesn’t mean there is less creativity or work going on as a whole – on the contrary! – I’ve been busier than ever with so many projects I hardly had …
God Jul as we say in Swedish or Merry Christmas to all of you! I wish you a wonderful holiday with your dear ones and some extra moments for just enjoying the simple little things… In the end that’s all that counts.
Finally we have to bid summer goodbye and welcome the fall! After one of the longest summer seasons in years it’s time to embrace the splendour of leaves on fire and glittering frost mornings. At last we can put the big pot on the stove and start making all those delicious pumpkin soups and ratatouilles! …
Actually I did some previous versions back in April but now I picked it up again, trying to spice the colourway somewhat. We’re having fabulous summer temperatures in Berlin and I guess that those who are lucky to have a garden still can enjoy it to the fullest! I have some extraordinary parks close by …
Do you know Swedish dumplings – Kroppkakor? This is a very traditional dish, mostly eaten in the south of Sweden, particularly in Öland, Gotland, Småland and Blekinge.

Making animals for a client of ecological children’s wear! I can’t share everything yet but I hope I will soon… Have a nice day everyone!
I’m working and watching these little guys buzzing around my flower pots in the balcony… It’s so nice to see them foraging from flower to flower. The sound is so relaxing… Enjoy you too, wherever you are, and try to discover the everyday miracles going on just in front of us! Happy Thursday!
This pattern idea comes from an old Swedish children’s song about a little guy who meets a bear one day when picking blueberries in the forest. He doesn’t understand enough to be frightened of the bear and the bear happily wants to share all the goodies in the basket! Here only the basket remains as …
Working on this pattern idea with bears – I’m illustrating all the different elements right now! This is partly from my main pattern and partly a blender print. Next step: to make a repeating tile and some adjustments to the colour palette… It’s always so thrilling to see how it will come together in the end! Happy Wednesday!
I had some fun with this one! Pattern design is like making art, jigsaw puzzles and sudoku simultaneously… Happy wednesday all!
