printmaking

We did printmaking. My son wanted to learn about symmetry. 

I was so into potato printing that 

I made some extras for the Childrens Center I volunteer at.

Then I got to do some printing of my own.

easter chicks

The reason for our visit in Helsinki was a lovely little girl just born couple of days ago.

Easter was filled with girliness with three little princesses. 

What a change for my ordinary life with a male dominant household! 

Spring in Helsinki

 I woke up to a white world.

 It is spring in Helsinki.

a room of one´s own

How happy can a place make you? 

I am visiting a house where there is room for my art and my thoughts. 

I wake up in the morning and have nothing else to do but art. 

I am surrounded by old fashioned beauty and books from my girl years.

I am starting to remember how it was to be me.

ice lolly and a new bike

In my memories spring comes with 

riding your new bike fast on rattling little pebbles. 

Do you remember the taste of spring in the first ice lolly?
