The Times They Are a-Changin
- and we are all growing older.
Greeting for a friend and art-buisness-partner. Of course in a book-like form – we are here talking about a devoted librarian!
Happy birthday Laila.

E-motive
A brand new suitcase/artists’ book on its way to The University of Northampton, UK, to be featured at the international and experimental artists’ book exhibition curated by senior lecturers in graphic design Melanie Bush and Dr Emma Powell.
The challenge for the 2010 exhibition is interpretating the letter ‘e’ , the word ‘motive’ or the word ‘emotive’. Found inspiration in my Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, a favorite book and a completely invaluable source for a foreign speaking person like me …

Relaxed inspiration
Just emptied my mailbox – and guess what: Lovely! Fresh! Magazines from Stampington! Thanks a lot!
I enjoy to see both my article Garden Art Studio (originally done for the Spring 2008 issue of Somerset LIFE) along with examples of my art money (featured in Somerset Studio Nov/Dec 2007) in this issue of HandCrafted and of course – as always – the eye candy of Somerset LIFE …
Will take a instant coffee-and-magazine-break. It’s always a kick to watch/read/drink this kind of inspiration. Maybe I should even consider doing a post about it at my blog…

Give a way
To celebrate the launch of “Where Women Create: Book of Inspiration” (which I’ m so lucky to be a part of) this week I’ll host a big give away.
The winner prize will include:
1. “Where Women Create – Book of Inspiration” by Jo Packham and Jenny Doh. A photo – and artists’ talk - book full of great studio close ups, ideas of how to get started, ideas how to keep up speed and creative flow, ideas how to get and how to keep your studio organized, ideas of where to find sources for new inspiration etc. etc. It’s truly an honour to be featured along with artists, designers and creative souls like Danita, Connie Govea Stuart, Ashley Carter, Lori Oles, Vickie Howell, Amy Hanna, Bonzie, Pam Garrison, Laurie Mika, Susan Tuttle, Ulla Milbrath, Suzie Millions, Teresa McFayden, Joanna Figueroa, Alisa Burke, Nicol Sayre, Jo Packham, Angela Cartwright, Luana Rubin, Janice Lowry, Line Christensen, and Jenny Doh. (NB: If you like I’ll be perfectly happy to sign the book for you – weather you are going to keep it for yourself – or hand it over to a friend as a gift. Just give me a hint…)
2. A copy of my book on redesign and recycling of 2nd hand textiles “Nyt liv i gamle klude” (NB: in Danish – yes – but if you turn out to be a not-Scandinavian winner hopefully you can still enjoy the photos as a source of inspiration! )
3. A flower crochet necklace kit designed by editor - and founder of CRESCENDOh – Jenny Doh.
Just leave a comment here before next Sunday (13/6) midnight (local time) and consider yourself in!

“On location”
Retreat in BKF’s (Danish Visual Artists Association) lovely house at Fanø for Inger, Lis, Joe, Bjarne and me.
Time for individual doses of art experiments, sea side running, reading, writing, photographing, coffe breaks in the garden, visits at local galleries etc. But most of all: a time for breathing in the art of living…

Doverodde Book Arts Festival II
Weekend trip…way up in Thy …accompanied by Lis and Joe to study artists’ books made by a number of Danish and international artists at the Doverodde Book Arts Festival II
Wonderful to see all the unique works beautifully exposed, to hear some inspiring lectures on artist’s books, mail art, laser cutting, to sniff all over the exhibition and stalls, drink coffee, talk and spend time with other artists. To exchange and get new inspiration.
