Anyone going to Bologna Children’s book fair next week? ❤️ I am going with other Finnish illustrators ❤️ I’ve never been before so any tips much appreciated! I didn’t manage to book any workshop, they sold out so fast 😌 But very excited to see so many books and illustrators from all over the world

We made some changes to our MUJI local design village layout and we are also getting new members 😍 Come visit in April and you will find out who our new lovely members are ❤️ I think me and Kiserinn’s new display works so well! We have moved a couple of meters and are still opposite to the cashiers 🙂

Oho, viisi tapahtumaa on kyllä aika iso määrä 😬 Meilläkään ei sunnuntai kyllä parantanut lauantain menoa yhtään. Harmi ettei enää kannata mennä kyseiseen tapahtumaan uudestaan kun tapahtumapaikka oli niin viihtyisä ja toimiva. Ei vaan houkutellut tarpeeksi kävijöitä tai jotain.

Yesterday was pottery day 😍 A way of decorating with brushed underglazes and pencils worked really well (with the oranges) but unfortunately the bowl cracked. But then a seashell tray (made with a mold came out beautifully and the glazing worked so well ❤️ I get more and more into it each time 😍❤️
