This and that

This is some more of my mother Gunvors work, maybe not her absolute best, but these are really different and funny. Love the cheese sandwich!

And the things you see here are all made in ceramic.

Dancing on the beach

This is what I dream about now, dancing on the beach in the evening, wathing the sun go down. Oh I miss my Asia som much, this photo is taken in Sri Lanka.

And here is another one, a little later. When night falls in the paradise, also from Sri Lanka.

The photo is taken at The Blue Water Hotel in Wadduwa.

Still really cold winter

As you may know by now, I hate winter, the cold snowy winters with temperatures way below zero.
Of course you could say it is beautiful, okay, yes, from the inside, looking out maybe.

But not if I have to go outside!

Shopping in Tunisia

I know, this is just some of the things that you can buy while in Tunisia. But one thing you really find everywhere is carpets, the carpet vendors will not give up before they sold you a rug.

And then you can find tiles and other things in handpainted ceramics of all kind, like this "turisty" things.

Even if they are made just for turists, the mosaic work is sometimes really good.

And here is another carpet, up close.

Me and myself

Some years ago, at a birthday I got a really lovely present, a painting - of myself, made by the Italian artist Marco Cecioni that lives in Sweden. He is a fantastic person, and a dear friend. But most important - a really good artist.

You can se me here, holding my lovely gift, the portrait. It is an oil painting, and it has my astrological sign on one shoulder, I am born in may... and is as you maybe can see - a Taurus.

And here he is, the artist Marco Cecioni himself. He is born in Napoli, Naples, and he lives in Stockholm Sweden and in Vietri Sul Mare in the Amalfi Coast, Italy.
You can look at his work here at his own website:

Shopping in Turkey

I now bring you some other shopping idea's, this time from Turkey. Some years ago I did make a trip to Side, a tipical tourist town today, but with ancient roman ruins.

This is a shop where you can buy sweets and nuts, and a lot of other treats to eat.

And this is another shop with spices, like nutmeg - musgat - that you can see on the front to the right.

Costume party

Sometime my mother Gunvor did some really crazy stuff, not art at all, just for fun. This is three "statues" from a costume party.

Can you see what these dolls are suppose to be as characters?
