marimekko factory

some pics from my visit to the marimekko factory in helsinki. it was a great experience to see the whole
procedure of the making of the fabric - from the first sketches and designs to the printing process.

drawings & sweets

it was a friend's birthday yesterday so we gave her this card made by illustrator gemma correll. i always enjoy 
visiting gemma's blog to see her quirky drawings of cats and pugs. below is a pic of my friend karin's cute
business card - she's another talented illustrator who has a fun blog worth a visit.

elle girl korea have asked me to take photos of my favorite magazines, this is one of them. frankie is a quirky 
and very creative magazine from Australia. It covers topics such as art, music, photography, craft, illustration, 
design and fashion. 
the pinocchio eggcup, the watch and my glasses are treasures from vintage shops. the bear pin is from a 
children's store in stockholm, the bow was a gift from a friend and the photograph is taken from a greeting card 
i bought in portland, oregon.
