SHADOW BIKING.

On my way home from work, the sun were shining bright.
Let's go shadow biking!!

LEAVING JOB.

This is what I found when leaving my job this afternoon.
Not sure what they are called, but one ting is for sure they are so sticky.
In the old times in Denmark they were used when you had woven a blanket in wool. A lof of them were put on long sticks an then people brushed them over the blanket to soften it.

LEAVING HOME.

I have deceided I wanted to start posting small snapshots of my everyday life here.
Between these there will also be the longer post with lots of photos and text.
Leaving home with a little flower. This is taquetes which I planted as a seed in the spring time.

AT MY STUDIO.

In the window at my studio lies these beautiful and sticky small objects.
I have bought them at a special flowershop close to my studio.
I like visiting the Botanic Garden here in Copenhagen, looking at all the flowers, structures and the nice smells. I also just like going there for relaxing.

PERU.

Have just bought tickets for Peru, so here we come. In 3 months we will be leaving.

I still remember this facade in Baranco in Lima. The colors look fantastic together.

Different kinds of mais. The very dark one is made into some kind of juice, called chinca (I think) and it taste yummi.

Beautiful knitted embroidery from the Nazca period.

Me! In the Holy Week, Easter everywhere people are making objects from grass and straw. We found an old man making these very primitive crosses. Today one is hanging in each room of our appartment and also at my weaving studio.

Two sweet blind men in the center of Lima called Tacna, sitting by the churches and playing.

A facade in Tacna.

On our honeymoon we went to Ayacucho, a town known for its churches, which I love visiting.

A little cemetery outside of Ayacucho.

Close to Ayacucho, I can't remember the name of the village we visited a family full of weavers. Here handspun and handdyed wool is hanging.

Clay objects on top of the roof. In this area close to Ayacucho they are famous for house objects and near Cusco for objects looking like a bull.

POPPIES.

Today I went for a walk in my neighborhood. I am so lucky, where I live in Copenhagen on Nørrebro, we have three big backyards and one of them is full of flowers.

I found these beautiful and very fragile poppies today. The pretty red makes me happy.

I am really fascinated by the little thing in the middle of the poppie, the structure looks exquisite and it is so pretty with its pattern.

It looks like a mess, but I think this is how it would look if the poppies were growing naturally in the nature. It is like they are beeing woven together with the other flowers in the big pots. A little bit wild.

 The little thing in the middle, leftovers when the blooming is over.

Amazing. They all look different eventhough they come from the same flower. These two looks a little bit fluffy on the top.

Here the lines becomes very tight and clean.

Two fluffy, the top in purple more than the other.

A beautiful and pretty bouquet of leftovers. LOVE.
