Well hello there dear flickrfriends! Here´s another pic from my collaboration with my friend Lisa Maria Andersson, who is the designer and owner of the label Up the Wooden Hills. She makes adorable dresses, so you should definetely go check her out! :)
This autumn I´ve decided to give photography more time. I only work two weekends a month, and a couple of days (depending on how much I get) with childcare in the weeks. My plan is to earn just enough money to buy food and pay rent and other bills. I try to not spend more money than I need. I do a budget for every month to calculate how much I have. Though this life means that I have some limitations, as I can´t shop anything etc. it also means a lot of freedom. To me, time is the thing I want the most. Time to create my art, time to get out and shoot and time to edit my pictures. If I can have just the money I need, I can feel free. My economical limitations gives me my freedom. To have the time to create is all I ask for. And, for now, I earn money on other jobs to be able to do what I love. But in the future, my goal is definetly to earn money on what I love.

The famous mie Aloy or Aloy noodle from Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia, in a handblown glass bowl by a renown Swedish glass artist Ebba von Wachenfeldt whose glassworks have been commissioned by 19 Glas and Sweden's 2010 Restaurant of the Year Frantzén/Lindeberg.
This noodle is said to be originated from Hakka people in the southern China. Mie Aloy is very popular in my hometown Palembang that someone even created a special Facebook fan page for this noodle restaurant. Thousands have joined the page. So popular that the owner Mr. Aloy opened a branch in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. Apart from pempek, the famous fishcake from Palembang, we who grew up in Palembang all love mie Aloy.
Ingredients: garlic (at home I use lots of garlic when cooking), shallots, minced pork meat with 23% fat, Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, bean sprouts, spring onions, noodle. Boil the noodle. Strain when done. Put the noodle in a bowl and mix the noodle well with pork fat and Teriyaki sauce. Pork fat is the best one to use as it gives the delicate flavor. Top it with the minced meat.

On growing — lesson learned:
While riding in an elevator in a Spokane hotel, Bayard Rustin was ordered by a white man to lace up his shoes. Without objection or hesitation, he did as he was ordered. The man then handed him a tip. Rustin refused, saying, "Oh, I didn't do it for money. I assumed you really needed help." The man was extremely embarassed and then apologetic. He invited Rustin to come to his room where they had meaningful exchange on the subject of human relations.
You may say, "But I could never act like that!" It is not easy. It takes great inner strength, which comes only from feellings of self respect and mature self-love. The man obviously had a poor regard for himself, and that was the root of his discrimination. Rustin could treat the man lovingly without offense simply because the act of obvious discrimination was no threat to his security. He was established in the reality of his own being, which was love. Thus, he could easily love his neighbor as himself, for he easily loved and respected himself.
Note that Bayard Rustin had a choice. He could have taken offense and then reacted in hostility and anger. But in that case, he would have revealed a lack of self-respect. Or, as he did, he could simply BE what he knew himself to be — a creature centered in the love of the Infinite, which was adequate to help and heal any situation. No one would have criticized him if he had chosen the way of anger, for that is the way of the world. However, the wise man will always ask himself, "Why should I let another person determine how I am going to act?" The apostle Paul had often faced this kind of choice, thus it was from his own painful experience that he urged us not to let the world around us squeeze us into its own mold, but rather to let God remold our minds from within. Every one of us has a choice many times a day whether to react to situations in human consciousness, or, as Meister Eckhart might say, to let God be God in you.

Blue Lagoon - Chrysocolla with druzy ring
I just love this magical ring. Every time I look at it I see new things and it just becomes more and more beautiful.
It makes me think of a lonely and peaceful island far far away … An Island were you are among the people you want around you in your life, the days are filled with blue skies, a swim in the waterfall or magical walks around an enchanted nature. A nature so fresh; where the birds are singing of joy. Just imagine your own happy place.
I can almost guarantee that you will never get tired to look at this beauty!
The marvelous stone is a Chrysocolla with druzy. The stone are both rough and polished. It is a one of a kind stone.
I wanted the metal to match the stone without taking the eye from the stone so I made the metal in a rough but clean and simple design. If you look closer the metal is shaped to look like the druzy in the stone.
The metal is both fine silver (999) and sterling silver (925)with a high shiny finish.

Llinos got in touch with me on Facebook with the logo (top left) and commissioned a custom stamp.
After I carved it, I used three different ink pads to color it to achieve a similar palette:
Brilliance "Graphite Black", VersaMagic "Eggplant" and Memento "Rose Bud". I inked the whole stamp with Rose Bud first, then colored bits of the stamp with tips of the other two ink pads.

Lava Wings - Rough lava stone and sterling silver
This is a pair of handcut natural lava stone in the shape as two wings.
The material is natural Lava stone and sterling silver.
I hammered the sterling silver around the stone to match the rough feeling of the stone. You can wear them as the simple clean design where you mostly see the lava stones or the other side where I have put two stripes of sterling so it looks like the lava stone is "inside" the setting.
Hi, I know my homemade lightbox isn't perfect, but tell me what you think anyway!
With the launch of the Ericofon, popularly called the Cobra, a new type of telephone was introduced in the world market. Ericsson’s work on this one-piece telephone had begun in 1940, but it was only after the end of the war that the pace of development picked up. This was due in large part to the fact that new materials launched after the war facilitated the construction of a telephone in which everything was included in a single unit.
The Ericofon was launched in 1956. With its spectacular shape it was
primarily aimed at the US market, but became very popular in Sweden as well.
That it was manufactured in six different colors was a minor revolution in
the black and white telephone world. Even more importantly, the Ericofon
created an awareness among telephone manufacturers that a telephone could
have an imaginative design.

I bought this lamp via an advertisment on a swedish site. The lamp is from the 1950s and the shade is from Svenskt Tenn. Estrid Ericsson designed the Elephant Fabric in the 1930s, inspired from a trip to Africa and it is today a Swedish design classic

This necklace is looking like a piece from a tree full of fresh sunshine!
The beautiful mineral I have used to give the branch a fresh feeling is a natural piece of Zincite.
The Zincite is in a clear green, lime, yellow color.
I made the silver around the stone in a stylish design but I left some marks that come up after soldering to give it a more natural look of a twig.
This ceramic figure of a boy holding his cat is by Lisa Larson (1931-2024) for Sweden's Gustavsberg. He no longer has the original Gustavsberg label but is hand-signed "Pelle". He was found in Hastings, Minnesota.

Eltham Palace (1933-1936) - Art Deco entrance hall
See location of room in palace here:
www.english-heritage.org.uk/siteassets/home/visit/places-...
The original Eltham Palace was a medieval moated palace which had been the childhood home of Henry VIII, that, having fallen into disrepair, was transformed in a glorious Art Deco home for the Courtauld family.
Perhaps the most dramatic interior is the entrance hall, created by the Swedish designer Rolf Engströmer. Its walls are lined with blackbean veneer and decorated by Jerk Werkmäster (SWE, October 1, 1896, Utanåker, Rättvik - April 11, 1978 i Rättvik) with marquetry that includes figures of a Viking holding a halberd standing opposite a Roman soldier holding a pike, set against background scenes from Italy and Scandinavia.
Another Swede, Eric Grate, provided two plaques above the entrance depicting scenes from Alice in Wonderland.
Replicas made in 1999 by N.E.J. Stevenson Ltd. of the original Engströmer furniture, upholstered in white matelasse, re-create the entrance as it once was.
The stupendous 6m wide Marian Dorn designed carpet at its center is a curatorially accurate 1999 re-make made in Ireland by Donegal Carpets of the 1932 original circular hand-knotted woollen pile on a jute warp carpet by the Wilton Royal Carpet Factory Ltd. (now in the Victoria and Albert Museum - Ref Nr CIRC.48-1970):
The rug has a directional design of concentric and non-continuous segments crossed by radiating motifs of parallel, curved and straight stripes in red-browns, pinkish beige and fawn.
