chrysanthemum progress







My neighbor Per Agelii looks so content because he just unveiled his sculpture group "Three muses". The Keiller park in Göteborg celebrated 100 years this weekend (a good spot to see the fireworks at New Years Eve). See here, like "three harbour cranes" he writes.

There are two connections between my work and the picture of Per:
1. He is holding chrysanthemums, my flower of the week.
2. The park area was a donation by the Keiller family, who salvaged parts of the sunken Götheborg cargo = the china I'm making mosaic of now.

I'm happily working on, slip painting and printing.

Wish you a good, fun work week.

I love paper cuts. I liked a lot the Ping Mag work. My favorite is the work of Elsita. Do you know her papercut work? http://elsita.typepad.com/elsita/

Célia, thank you for the tip!

Jo, välkommen till stan! Åh, jag önskar att jag var på en mexikansk blomster-marknad!
