Yesterday when I came home from work, a nice surprise were waiting for me. Sofia Hagström, a Swedish textile designer, now living in Copenhagen had send me an exquisite textile letter full of beautiful treasuries.
I got to know Sofia at the Danish Design School where we both have graduated from in textile design. Here is her final project.
In the letter there were a little pressed yellow flower called "Smörblost" found on Iceland. Perhaps "Butterflower", not sure. It is so tiny and small. The photo is for Sofia, as I know you love cats and Osvald, my cat is always curious when new things appear in the flat.
The white in white sample with the cross is the fabric for the chasuble, woven by Sofia, in wool and silk. Pretty, pretty!!
The photo is taken at a woman in Sofia's hometown in Sweden of the flower Pelargonium. Sofia knows that I love and collect them. The woman was the first one who taught Sofia how to work with a "virkenål" and yarn.
I have started to put the textile letters on big bulletin boards at my studio.
I want to thank you Sofia for the lovely letter.
