EPLA



http://www.epla.no/ is a new Norwegian marketplace for handmade goods, so the following information will be in norwegian.

Epla er et nytt nettsted for kjøp og salg av håndlagde ting!
Epla ble startet av Siw, Torunn, Morten og Rakel fordi de så behovet for et norsk nettsted hvor man kan kjøpe fantastiske og håndlagde ting.
Det vil bli stort utvalg av ulike produkter, klær, kunst, mat og interiørartikler med mer.
Epla åpner 16.november. Les mer på nettsiden deres!
Jeg kommer til å være med fra starten med mine STRAND-produkter. Både redesign og økologiske t-skjorter.

Du kan også åpne din egen Epla-butikk! Les mer på http://www.epla.no/.

Her er eksempler på noe av det du kan få kjøpt på Epla:

Peony

Don't you just love peonies?
The print on this zipper pouch is from a charcoal drawing I made of the peonies in my garden.

Saturday night in the house


It's Saturday night and I'm the only one awake in the house.
Someone's been playing in the livingroom...

Italy and Ambitions

Foto: Marcel Leienhof


I'm going to Italy for some days! I need a time out now!
I'll share my impressions with you when I return.

Meanwhile, I really think you should listen to this song by our local heroes, Donkeyboy!
This is the song for everyone out there with Ambitions!
This song has been a true inspiration to me!

DESIGNERNES EGET JULEMARKED 2009

STRAND redesign will participate in the Designers Christmas Fair 2009 in Oslo. December 5. and 6. 10.00-18.00. This is probably the coolest place to be in Norway this weekend!
I was there last year, as a customer, and had a really great time.
There will be 140 stalls and designers from Norway, England, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden.
Will you be there?

White Elephant


Today, I'm sending some totes and bibs over to the White Elephant in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. So in a while, if you should be passing by, you can see them there.




White Elephant Vintage.


Here's a photo from the shop. On the wall, you can see Austin Nicole's clutches and Forest Bound's totes.

Photoshop

I'm preparing some Photoshop lessons for my students. It's so hard to stay consentrated! And I can't resist playing around with the photos...
