Colour Scheme

My new way of experimenting various colourways - water colour!

Cobalt Blue

I got a new acrylic colour which is astonishingly beautiful...!
I can be easily pleased by this sort of small things :)

Another Studio Pics

I have installed a dryer (originally for drying clothes though) to dry emulsion on the screen more quickly and efficiently. Hope it works...!

My Studio Pics

As I did some photo shooting the other day, I'll share some of them here.

Kate Schutz The Talented Painter & Illustrator

One of my customers Kate Schutz showed me these pictures of her renovated bedroom on her blog.

The gifted artist (you can see some of her paintings on the wall) ordered some cushion covers and fabric from me to suit the new headboard and wall paint. And you can see it all went perfect :)

What she's done with her room is very inspiring to me and I'm very pleased to have become a part of her refurbishing project!

Please visit her blog and website to find out more about her work.

Woven Colours

I've tried some weaving today (well, if I'm allowed to call it "weaving" though) as part of my experiment on colours, materials and texture.

I used magazine shreds, fabric shroud by hand and rope made of paper.

It was a real fun, those only found objects could become a casual piece of art when it's properly framed and hung on the wall :)

Burda Style Magazine

Yesterday I received a copy of Burda Style magazine 2010 March issue, which featured kalla Design along with other two textile designers.
They used a photo of my studio on the first page for this feature and it doesn't look bad at all ! :)

Well, the only problem for me is that it's German edition, so I cannot really understand what the article says but I'll try to translate it somehow later...

And I was so surprised to find myself next to the Marimekko designer Maija Louekari...!

Special thanks to Talea and Ulinka of Burda Style!
