the scarves are gone

Well, now the scarves are all gone, thanks to Konstfack’s Christmas fair. We didn’t know how people would feel about them since the pattern is quite random, but both young and old liked them. Now we are inspired to continue the project.

re-use!

t-sjal

For a long time we have been thinking of how to re-use all the proof textiles. They are like a visual history of jollygoodfellow. Old and new prints side by side and on top of each other.  Now we have started to cut out squares, and we are thinking of having them as scarfs! And maybe we will add an extra print to some of them.

urbnCal 2011 taking shape

We just got back from a great week in Copenhagen biking around Vesterbro, Fredriksberg, Nørrebro, Østerbro, Christianshavn, Amager, Ørestad and the City area taking 1165 pictures, 365 of these will soon be urbnCal 2011. It is really one of the best cities to bike in and we learned that the Copenhagens bike 1,2 million kilometers daily! Since we had our two kids with us (aged 1 and 3) we also spent time in some nice playgrounds and discovered another dimension of the city. The city planning and the architecture seems to be on the forefront.

Pajula woods in Västberga

pajula_in_vastberga

We have been working in a bigger studio at Västberga industrial park for two weeks, where we tried out some new prints based on sketches from our sketchbooks and photos from the Finnish countryside. The two weeks flew by and now we have left with new prints in our screens and our sketchbooks filled with new ideas! The sun was shining and some of the days ended up with a refreshing swim. You can see pictures from the process at our Facebook-page and sooner or later the finished prints will show up here.

fruktlåda blev kottlåda

Fruktlådan hamnade i ateljén för nått halvår sen, mest för den festliga reliefen (kanske nya blocktrycksprojektet). Nu när kylan kommit kan man ju inte låta lilla gubben sitta på kalla kalla betonggolvet, då var det bra att ha en frigolitlåda minsann!

genvägar, senvägar, nya vägar

kotte_utfratt
Just nu trycks det för fullt hos oss, superskoj! Men jag började fundera över möjliga genvägar, 200 tröjor med tryck + avsändartext = 400 tryck som ska tryckas och fixeras med strykjärn ett i sänder + 200 tags som ska tryckas och fästas. Beslöt oss för att trycka med färg man slipper fixera och att låta skrivaren fixa tagsen.

Men hoppsan vår kotte var visst alldeles för subtil för den tuffa färgen, screenramen vägrade släppa igenom färg i det finstilta. Och dessutom blev färgen till en trög yta på tröjan vilket inte alls passade i det här fallet, så det blir bara att plocka fram strykjärnet igen. Kotten har däremot fått sig en till kompis, kanske han dyker upp igen nån annan gång, ser inte så tokig ut när allt kommer omkring.
