2009-07-28T19:53:00.005+02:00

Morran and I are back in the studio, Elisabeth is still on vacation. Katta has taken her place for a while. I'll have to say it's more fun to play with Elisabeth, Katta is a little bit too bossy.

Vacation

2009-06-23T21:34:00.003+02:00

Camilla and I are going to have some nice lazy days with a lot of sun, good food and nice friends.
Something to look forward to when we´re coming back - some new porcealin :)

How to make a cardboard house

2009-06-12T13:23:00.013+02:00

Take a likesided piece of cardboard. Mark where the middle of each side is and then the middle of each section. You will end up with 4x4 likesided small squares. As seen below.

Cut through the cardboard where the red lines are. Cut, but not the whole way through, where the spotted white lines are - this is to make it easier to fold.

Bend it carefully where the rooftop will be, and lay the two squares in the middle together. Tape them, and do the same on the other side.

Take the two other ends and fold them to the middle, try to keep straigth angles. Glue them together, hold them together for a while to make sure they are stuck. Make the same thing on the other end of your house.

Voila! Time to decorate.

Maybe it is easier to just follow the pictures and not my instructions (I tried my best).

Tuesday workshop

2009-06-03T09:38:00.003+02:00

The heat made us kind of slow and tired at the beginning of our yesterday workshop. But in the end of the evening we where running in full speed again.

Superheroes

2009-06-01T14:17:00.002+02:00

Tiny, tiny, but very brave, superheroes.

Wow - Alex McLeod!

As soon as we´re closing in to be ready on something we´re starting to plan our next move. We want to make more porcelain!

Studio Violet likes Galleri Loyal.

We don't work

2009-05-12T13:23:00.004+02:00

We play. Janine from Uppercase gallery visited us last month, she made some filming of us preparing/playing for the Re-Used show at Manos. See the film here.

So what's up

2009-05-11T12:18:00.009+02:00

What's happening at the circus, you might wonder. A baby elephant is born! The parents (the ones in this print) and the rest of the circus are very happy and proud. They have already started the circus-elephant-training with the little one. Anything else, yes, some of the crue is talking about starting a band. We'll see what happens with that. But other than that they are still resting from all the fuzz and travelling. They send their regards.

Wich one?

2009-05-08T14:36:00.003+02:00

Three girls came by the studio. It took a while to decide, but finally they ended up with both of the prints for each one of them :) Thanks.

Happy week end!

We are resting a little bit

2009-05-07T20:37:00.003+02:00

Wow!!

2009-05-05T08:31:00.009+02:00

We knew you liked it but we could never imagine it would be such an overwhelming response! Thank you :)

Here are two of the five pieces that are still (not any more!) available at manos.

Faces we met along the way 1

Just another day

2009-03-05T22:47:00.003+01:00

Had to try how it was to cut in one of those rubber blocks - like butter, so smooth and easy. Morran is checking what Elisabeth is doing, she is always so nosy (Morran that is, not E) if she could talk she would be the worst gossip dog ever I'm sure. I wonder what those screaming milk packages is doing on Elisabeth's desk? We are actually working a lot but I'm not sure what we can show you yet. We'll be back with more information soon. I promise.

We went to a fair

2009-03-01T17:48:00.002+01:00

We went to a baby/children fair. Pretty soon it was obvious why some of us wanted to go there! The best stand on the fair - Little Red Stuga.

Too early

2009-02-24T11:59:00.005+01:00

I waited me the sight of Camilla laying in her hammock under the roof windows this morning. But no. She wasn't sitting in her sofa drinking coffee either. I was too early.

It's starting to feel like christmas

2008-12-18T21:00:00.006+01:00

The daylight in our studio is fantastic, but it is so cozy when it is dark. The studio is starting to have christmas spirit. It is ready for Elisabeth to return from her vacation :)

snowflakes

2008-12-16T20:30:00.012+01:00

Fold the paper to make it to a like-sided square, and fold it once again to a smaller triangle. Fold one of the triangles "leg" and fold the other "leg" over the first one. Cut off the paper to a triangle and start cut the snowflake.

Best friends

2008-12-07T19:08:00.002+01:00

Elisabeth is on holiday in Vietnam, but at least we have each other :)
