This embroidery urn-pot too, is a sketch for the project that Tina Ratzer and I have been working on since the winter. It's made from the same fabric from Tina's selection as an earlier urn-pot. The top part is made from Tina's hand woven textiles.

This one is a sketch for the project which has been finished for some time; it's made from two old kitchen towels, one of which had my mother's name woven into, I re-purposed the letters to create the Ratzer + Myrup initials.

This one is a sketch too and has been ready for some time : ) and came about after some early embroidery tests for the project. (secret until today where the show opens)

Tina and I were mentioned in RUM today in connection with the The Biennale for Craft and Design 2013 which opens on the 29th of June at Rundetårn in Copenhagen. Process photos here, here and here, more to follow on this project later in the month.

"nålepude" / "needle-cushion"

Just finished this "nålepude" filled with very fragrant pine needles (from our Christmas tree). It's made from 2nd hand shirts and a delightfully strange and very Canadian scarf my old friend gave me. It's a present for my ailing grandmother, so she can experience a small bit of Canada via touch and smell (it's roughly the size of two hands) when I go visit her in Copenhagen next month. It felt good doing some patchwork again, it's been a while. Was very inspired by Tina's cushions and happy to keep working with stripes and flowers.
