The photograph is taken in my hallway. The sofa is a find from a fleamarket, loppisfind that I made years ago and it was all purple and now it is painted in a lovely egg tempera paint in a dark pewter grey. The scandis like their graffic black and white and I normally use more colour but I thought this made a bold impression. Here are some more pictures.</div>

I've never done a project like this before so it was a bit nerve wrecking from beginning to end but I was glad it was so well received. The big empty wall really cried out for something and it got me thinking. I started out with going to an exhibition at Astrid Lindgren's museum and saw an exhibiton with illustrations by<a href="http://www.astridlindgren.se/en/mer-fakta/illustratorer/bjorn-berg" target="_blank"> Björn Berg</a> who illustrated all books about Emil.<br />
I then went on a begging tour to the local paint shops and got some wallpaper to make the collage with. Here are some photos of my progress.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</tbody></table>
Once I realised I could use the wallpapers and cut them into strips and shape them the way fabric drapes I found my way. Since the shape was so detailed I couldn't mount it on a board from the back. I asked a glass shop to cut plexiglass and glued it so that the collage sat on the outside.<br /><br />

They are for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/166753250/leggings-for-playtime?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>. You can buy them separate but if you buy them both there is a good deal on the shipping cost. They come in four different prints. With colder weather around the corner legging are great for wearing underneath winter overalls.<br />

I helped arrange the children craft section and then there was a storytelling room, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fika_(coffee_break" target="_blank">fika</a>, film session and a quiz that I also wrote.<br />
At ten o'clock the doors opened and there was people hanging on the door waiting to get in. We estimated about 80-90 kids and parent turned up. A lot more than we expected so we had to arrange for more tables and chairs so that all the kids could sit down. So I dont have that many pictures to show of the masks the kids made but they where all great.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLcCgijvYz2xzidZG8z5Hg94wiixsrDE1aYQJvmS14ZviXv6JB8nQ_tLottn__YrvwYdcCCQEfM1sJKDuEwaShSDUQ6YiHkMCEXzUR7-etZPXLbmEhEcxPRo8n7HfLO6tReraLcIIVubM/s1600/IMG_1598.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLcCgijvYz2xzidZG8z5Hg94wiixsrDE1aYQJvmS14ZviXv6JB8nQ_tLottn__YrvwYdcCCQEfM1sJKDuEwaShSDUQ6YiHkMCEXzUR7-etZPXLbmEhEcxPRo8n7HfLO6tReraLcIIVubM/s640/IMG_1598.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made masks based on the theme Emil and his friends. For the youngest I had cut out various shapes the were a cat, the pig, a frog and face out of paper plates. The children then decorated them using watercolors , pens and colored paper. We also made some noses out of egg cartons. Th older kids cut and made their owns shapes. It is very fulfilling doing this with the kids and I think I will come up with some more ideas . Me and Anna, the local librarian have started brainstorming ways of collaborating and making the library a much needed meeting place for families in Högsby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also mad a wallpaper collage that is now placed on the wall in the childrens section. Next post will be showing pictures of VillaPernilla first public art!</div>

It's that time of the year again. Halloween has become something that we now also celebrate in Sweden. I found these images via <a href="http://www.handmadecharlotte.com/category/diy/" target="_blank">Handmade Charlotte</a> while researching for a project with my local library.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Funnie shaped leaves on the first picture but since the leaves are tumbling down I wanted to include them. I like my craft to be achivable for kids and that is what I like about picture number two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Take a piece of cardboard, score it and bend it an draw a face. Great</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last picture is a great combo of dream mask, the shark and then there is the apple that is the realistic version. I'm making prototypes myself now inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead" target="_blank">Day of the Dead </a>in Mexico.</div>

I dont normally show pictures of my costume work but I received these photos the other day from Matilda and Magnus who run a two man show theatre for kids called<a href="http://www.lillavildateatern.se/index.php" target="_blank"> <span style="color: red;">Lilla Vilda Teatern</span></a> .The Little wild Theatre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They wanted new costumes for their shows and I designed a 70s inspired base outfit made in baby blue corduroy and then different tops for the different shows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are photos from their Bakery show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What fun to receive pictures off the costumes in action. Its so fun and rewarding doing stuff for kids and the actors where a joy to work with!</div>

Found this on <a href="http://pinterest.com/villapernilla/boards/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and been playing it a bit in my studio. Just love the illustration. Someone told me that Paul andLinda only spent one night apart from each other during their marriage and that was when Paul spent a night in japanese jail. Not sure if it's true. Any one knows?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11026317845422611517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961632118360571098.post-83931182447250754032013-09-05T11:31:00.001+02:002013-09-05T11:31:49.505+02:00Creative catwalk and FilmstudioVillaPernilla is part of a collective here in the local area, Högsby, that is called <a href="http://www.xn--hllywood-n4a.se/" target="_blank">Höllywood Studios</a>. We all work within various creative areas and come together when given a chance to make projects that try to put Högsby and<a href="http://www.visitsmaland.se/en" target="_blank"> Småland</a> on the map.<br />
<br />
Our latest project is an alternative model contest called Greta G. Greta Garbo's roots was from this area and there is even a Greta Garbo museum here. My job is to, apart from measuring and style the models to create a studio for the jury and a catwalk that has a Småland feeling. I have also been asked to recreate one of Garbo's film costumes. The aim of the project is to give young people that live in Småland good role models and an opportunity to start daring to dream.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I made connection with a local wood/furniture company that will sponsor us with furniture. They are called<a href="https://www.facebook.com/lovsjologhouse" target="_blank"> Lövsjö Loghouse</a> and make rustic furniture using wood and timber from our local forrest here. Very happy to meet them and this evening they are coming down with a lorry full off furniture. Here are some photos and I will post some more photos of the studio one's we have got it all together.<br />

Emil the very naughty boy is celebrating his 50th birthday this year. Not sure how a character that is about 5 years old in the books can have a 50th birthday but it's a good enough reason for celebrating a fantastic story. So the local library has asked me to come up with a good idea for a birthday party.<br />
So I've started to look at the illustrations off <a href="http://www.bildmakarnaberg.se/" target="_blank">Björn Berg </a>and now I'm lost in his world.<br />

The story is set in the area here in Småland where I live and apart from a very tasteful <a href="http://www.alv.se/" target="_blank">adventure park</a> there is also a museum in Astrid Lindgrens<a href="http://www.astridlindgrensnas.se/sv/hem" target="_blank"> childhood house</a> where there is an exhibition about Björn Berg. The color illustrations in the books I've looked at since I was a child but now I'm discovering the line drawing.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #444444;">This summer has been a great one. We have done so much and I've had some time to take photos and nature has started to make it's way into my Etsy product photos.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #444444;"> Especially the island called</span><span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://www.olandsturist.se/">Öland</a></span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> here in Sweden left an impression on me. Not that it is the first time I'm there but we have found a spot that to me is magical.</span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Down an unmarked dirt road that takes you down to a sandy beach lies a very simple campsite. It provides no electricity or water but there is stunning nature and you can listen to the waves from your tent and in the morning you can take a swim and watch the cows come down for a splash in the water.</span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />

At the same time it is a great way of using up even the tiniest fabric scraps. They will be on sale in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/154964606/knee-patches-for-busy-kids?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">shop</a> and maybe it will include a small sewing kit with some pins, needle and thread so that even the least sewable person can do a bit of mending. Of course the would also look good as elbow patches on a much loved cardigan or if you are a bit crafty you could use them as pockets on a plain skirt.<br />

I thought it would be a nice idea to have a stall and meet some customers. So many returning customers ! Good to get feedback on the products and to get some new ideas. I should try to reach out and do more craft shows and markets so if you readers have any suggestions of good places please let me know. Many of my readers are international so it might be a bit tricky:)<br />

I have been making these wash bags for a few years now and this is the last lot being made in the traditional oilcloth. My new fabric purchases have all been in laminated cotton that is a more eco friendly way of producing a cloth that will whit stand water. It is slightly softer than oilcloth and there are lots of great prints so I'm having a hard time choosing.<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11026317845422611517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961632118360571098.post-54441292916744133722013-06-10T14:16:00.000+02:002013-06-10T14:16:07.330+02:00textil times in the garden<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm going to sew it together so it becomes double as wide and use it on the veranda. To stop the warp from unraveling I will have to sew a band on the sides.<br />

We also made a nice new wooden frame for the flower border using wood that got left over when we knocked down a wall in the kitchen. I grow my lavender for my lavender bag in this border. Lavender is a natural moth repellent and I've made some bags to give as gifts to large orders in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/VillaPernilla?ref=si_shop" style="color: red;" target="_blank">shop</a>. I like the challenge of finding material for a project around the house and the wooden timber used here worked really feel. I have also started to make sure that I'm using up all my scraps from sewing into new products. After making the laminated wash bags I then make makeup/pen cases with the strip that gets leftover. With the cotton fabric I have started to make patchworkshapes to be used for patching and mending holes on kiddie jeans. What is left then is cut into squares for patchwork that soon will be on sale in the shop.<br />

I've made them with a ribbon so that you can either put them in a draw or hang them on a hanger with your favorite dress. The fabric I've used are from old tablecloth with nice embroidery carefully cut out.</div>

I've been asked by my local library to organize a<span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.lassemaja.net/index.htm" target="_blank"> <span style="color: red;">Lasse Maja Day</span></a></span> with a treasure hunt and some crafting. Lasse Maja Detective club is one of swedens most popular children's books for early readers.<br />
The author<a href="http://www.literarymagazine.com/martin-widmark" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"> Martin Widmark</span></a><span style="color: red;"> </span>seems to be turning out a steady stream of the books.<br />

I have to become very friendly with my computer (which is always tricky for me )since I have to make a diploma for all the little detective that solve the treasure hunt and a flyer/poster that will be sent out to the local schools .<br />
Looking at the fab illustrations by artist<span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="http://www.lassemaja.net/index.ht" style="color: red;" target="_blank">Helena Willis</a> I thought it would be a nice project to machine embroider the poster.<br />

I have now attached the machine embroidery to my backing fabric that is the background of the poster.<br />
This is when my eyes need a break and I have to contemplate the rest.<br />
Time is running out and it needs to be sent to printers soon. I think I will have to limit the machine embroidery and blame it on the nasty flu I've had for the last weeks.<br />

One of my favorite museums <a href="http://www.kulturen.com/" target="_blank">Kulturen</a> will highlight the 40 anniversery of on off Swedens most popular children books character called Alfons Åberg. In english that translates as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfie_Atkins" target="_blank">Alfie Atkins.</a><br />
<br />
The idea is that children both with their families or in school groups will go and play in a life size 70's Alfie flat built and made by artist Mats Nilsson and costumes made by me.<br />
<br />
I got all the books out from our local library and have been looking at all the illustrations and getting to know the charachters. My son is 3 and we have been reading the books before going to bed and of course he has also been modelling and testing the costumes.<br />

Specially trying on the party hats from one of the books Kalas has been popular. In swedish the book is called <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6256090-raska-p-alfons-berg" target="_blank">Kalas</a> and it is a little story about grown ups wanting a big birthday party but Alfie really just wants to sit under the table with his two best friends eating cake. Now there is a thought to all parents bigging up birthdays and Christmas. And here are som pictures of the work in progress.</div>

These photos are from a blog called <a href="http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><em>Mila’s Daydreams</em></a><em> and now there is a book ,</em><a href="http://www.harpercollins.com/books/When-My-Baby-Dreams-Adele-Enersen" target="_blank">When My Baby Dreams</a>. This is what Mila's mum says about her photos: To be perfectly honest, Mila’s Daydreams started out as a total coincidence — at the time, Mila was only two weeks old, and she just happened to fall asleep in a funny position on a blanket on the floor. The more we looked at her, the more she appeared like a little fencer, and we took a few pictures. That’s when I started to think of making whimsical backgrounds around Mila that would match the charm of her sleepiness — they could be her dreams, illustrated. <br />
In the very first official Mila’s Daydream picture that I ever took, Mila’s playing with her friends in a little forest that I made out of pillows and blankets that were already lying around the house. The daisies she’s picking are from the flower bouquet I received while still in the hospital. The next day, while doing laundry, I had another vision for what Mila might have been dreaming about, and then, while cooking dinner that same night, another and another…<br />

I just love the way baby sleeps and this article makes me remember those first months of being a mum . Every time Leon would fall asleep I would run to my workroom and sew sew sew. It was harder than I thought not to work and have your hands and head engaged with stuff. Your baby keeps you so busy and when they sleep you try to catch up and just as you get going they are awake and you dont know when you will get your next moment. Then you have to hold on to your moment and idea for when you get your next chanse..<br />

Today I found a new favorite. <a href="http://tulapink.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Tula Pink</span></a>( Please excuse the small photos but if I made then any bigger they got too grainy). I can see my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50799628/wash-bag-for-kids-and-light-travelling" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">washbags </span></a>and other bags made up in these and I might just have to get the big purse out for some spending. I just love textile prints and cant get enough of looking at all those repeats. The americans seem to love quilt fabrics and they just turn out all these great prints . Do they all sit there like the Little House on the Prairie quilting away all day?</div>

When I started blogging my maternity had just finished and I was finding my way back to work and being a mum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I started <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VillaPernilla?ref=si_shop" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">VillaPernilla</span></a> and selling stuff I needed myself as a mum on <a href="http://etsy.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Etsy.com</span></a> and in a few shops and museum gift stores. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The biggest room upstairs became the VillaPernilla head quarter and sewing studio.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> My costume work picked up again and I'm actually having to turn down work at times. It is harder to say no to work than one can imagine. I worked for Skånes dansteater wich is Swedens largest independent dance institution pretty much all last autumn. Very nice work and very nice people to work with.The pictures are from a double bill called <a href="http://www.skanesdansteater.se/en-GB/Page/content/335/HAZE.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">HAZE</span></a> and it is now touring in Germany and then Norway.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> I also do some tailoring and sewing jobs that people drop by with. Not sure why I do it but it seems nice to offer the service to people that live locally. Today I had a visit by a 80 year old man that came wading threw the snow to get his jeans turned up. He sat reading the local paper while we did the job.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Now I feel like things are ready to take to level two whatever that entails. In my head I have a dream version of what that is but I have to make one that will work when there is only 24 hours in a day and I'm a mum that lives about 60km from a desent shop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So careful planning and internet shopping for supplies are key to make it work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I would love my <a href="http://www.pernillalindfors.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">costume website</span></a> to look great if you look at it using an I-pad or mobile.Oh and if I am making a wish list here I will add that blogs,websites,facebook pages etc could update themselfs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So on that note I will finish my first 2012 entry and hope that there will be many more to come.</span><br />

All for good reasons I might add since the work have just been rolling in. That is the problem with freelancing and just wanting to do lots of stuff you just can't get a balance. So I have been dying fabrics...<br />
