getting crafty with farmor

yesterday we  had a crafty date set with farmor.  but pappa found out that he could get off of work early so we waited for him before heading south.  so we had a bit of fun with mormor while we waited.  eijla and puppy got a swing assist...

while zoe flew through the air all on her own. 

then we said bye bye to mormor and headed south.  where farmor was waiting with her clay all rolled out ready for us to play!  zoe and eijla helped to cut out the shapes.  there were not so surprisingly lots of hearts, butterflies, and seahorses.  and it seems as though eijla has an affinity for hedgehogs.

zoe took this pic of farmor and i working on the clay shapes, with my camera, the thing is heavy so it amazes me she can lift it and focus it and manage to get her subjects in the shot.  go zoe!

and here we have some of them after the first painting,  but we will see what colors they actually turn out after being burned.  exciting!

anita´s ceramics

shortly after our return to sweden, we did a bit of a photo shoot for anita´s ceramics. she has an amazing talent, and has recently opened up a little shop/studio in her home. her website: www.bordertaktils.net. anyway, thought i would post a few pics from the shoot, as well as a cute one of the artist and the photo arranger (thomas has a knack for putting things in the right places for photos).
