“Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you” ( Paul McCartney, John Lennon )

…………….

The beautiful sculpture is made by Lisa Larson a Swedish ceramic artist.

“Lisa Larson’s talent as a ceramic artist was found by a leading Swedish ceramic artist Stig Lindberg, and Lisa developed it since then. She worked as a designer for Gustavsberg, an established ceramic manufacture in Sweden, for 25 years. She is still creating her new ceramic works in her daily life even today at the age of 78.”

I have a great little collection of ceramics made by Lisa Larson.

“The dancing couple” was a birthday present to myself some years ago.

It´s great being that generous, isn´t it?

………………

I wish you  A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I want to thank everyone for visiting my blog,

your support of my work and your lovely comments mean the world to me!

Lots of Love / Becky

Elin Sigrén is a young swedish designer who makes the most beautiful jewelry out of broken antique porcelain.

I met Elin on a Christmas fair in the beginning of December,

I gave her some broken plates of my favourite porcelain, “Amanita” (fly agaric),

in exchange I got the magic ring,

I felt like Gollum.

………..

The papier mache´doll is made by my favourite artist Julie Arkell.

Thank´s for all the lovely comments and Christmas greetings,

it means a lot to me!

Love/

“Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday,
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea” (Jimi Hendrix lyrics )

……………..

For those of you who think that Christmas is a bit exaggerated and tiring,

just keep it inside the cabinet!

…………….

The beautiful polka dotted angel was sent to me

from the very talented designer and illustrator Danielle.

We spent the most inspiring week in France together,

at the ” Julie Arkell workshop in Briançon”.

Thank you, Danielle, the angel watching over me!

Love/

“And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young” ( John Lennon lyrics )

I believe in reincarnation.

In a previous life I was a polka dotted coffee cup.

“Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock. “(Words & music by Jerry Leiber – Mike Stoller)

……………….

Not everyone is rocking.

Santa Claus thinks the whole idea of Christmas is a trap.

Why all this overtime work when the compensation is so low?

“You rock so you rock so like you never did before

You skank so you skank so be alive today

You lively up yourself and don’t say no

You´re gonna lively up yourself cause I said so” ( Bob Marley lyrics )

…………..

Lively up yourself with a needlefelted Sankta Lucia!

Lucia is an ancient mythical figure with an abiding role as a bearer of light in the dark Swedish winters.

Yes, we really do need to lively up ourselves these days!

What do you do, to keep up the good spirit?

Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires

My morning coffee, was it a dream or not ?

Got some strange messages.

Naughty or nice.

There will be no greenhouse among the Christmas gifts…

………………

Have a nice weekend all of you/

Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town”  (J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie )
