"It's good to have friends": A shipping container painted with traditional rose painting next to the library in Grünerløkka in Oslo. In the container is an air bomb shelter with an art installation, but unfortunately, the container is closed due to vandalism (https://www.annex.no).

This is my 2nd attempt @ #rosemaling

DalaDino design 2 - Theropod (Tyrannosaur? Gorgosaur?) with black base, and blue Telemark-ish swirls. Didn't have a lot of planning time with the paint - just pulled it out of my brain. Carved from basswood.

Attended the painting class during the 53rd Annual Woodcarving Show with @FlickertailWoodcarvers - had a lot of fun learning basic Rosemaling. This was a Telemark style.

Work of mine in this year's craft shop at the Eva Bull Holtes Museum in Åmotsdal, #Telemark #Norway.

Rose maling artist and friend Bjørg Oseid Kleivi from Åmotsdal is featured also. She is well known among rose painters in the US, where she has held many courses – lately in April and May this year. Her bowls and dishes are painted on remaining works from traditional woodturners who stopped turning a long time ago.

Night 1, delayed (I’ve been sick, not feeling up to carving).

Starting practice pattern #2, also in basswood. Design modified from stone carvings from Bali.

Phase 1 done - lowered the outside square, and the inside leaves. Lost one small part of an outside leaf edge - I didn't get my stop-cut *quiiiite* deep enough. Oops. Detailing (veins) of the leaves next, then I'll tackle the inside flower.

I would LOVE to take a carving class from one of the carvers in Bali… until then I’ll practice on my own, and see what I can glean. I have an ambitious project planned, but need practice first. So - found an awesome stone carving that should look pretty in wood. Absolutely love how designs and patterns cross into different cultures. This is so similar to my grandma’s rosemaling.
