This week we are filming David's short film Wallace.
I've been helping out behind the camera and as an acting coach. Yesterday we rehearsed indoors all day and today was our first day of filming.
The weather was super hot and sunny and we made it through the day with sunscreen, lots of refreshing drinks and hard work. It's been so much fun and we've only just begun! The kids acting in this movie are such a fun group and they have made friends with eachother in no time at all.
Here's three behind the scenes photos from today. More will come later in the week, probably.

The essence of summer.

David preparing and looking all focused.

Claes, The film's producer, waiting by the microfone. Soon time to start filming the first scene of the day.

Tomorrow we're returning to Papyrus for a day of filming there. And I'm bringing my jewelry and my friend and model Hanna .
It's going to be so exciting!

Two in Black and white.
One of David snoring in my ear yesterday afternoon when he took a short nap on my shoulder.
And one of me in a great pair of glasses found at a fleamarket last week. Meant for a very blind person but looking HOT on me, right!? (I wish I had bought them!)

Two snacks.
One pancake with banana, turkish yoghurt, pecan nuts, coconut and maple syrup.
And one strawberry.

Two of me with my long hair looking all, eh, long.
One with wine red tights and a straight leg.
And one with olive green tights and a bent leg.
It's all in the details, you know...

I'm off to work now in this pouring rain.
Just a quick reminder of the fantastic giveaway going on right now. Don't miss it! Click here to enter, and Good luck!

Hi, hello, hej, hallå!
I transfered a bunch of photos from my phone to my laptop and realised it was a while since I showed you the randomness that is my life through a phone camera.
We take it in chronological order with the first one from about a month ago. So here we go!

This is one of my all time favourite iphone photos. It's taken in the public bathroom at the City management office (Stadsledningskontoret, I have no idea if this is the right translation but google tells me so, so okay!)
It is a quite boring house with a grey/brown 70's office feel to it but when you step into the ladies room you get a flower power explosion out of this world. I almost forgot I had to pee, I was so overwhelmed. Forget me not flower tiles all over the place!
I showed one of my male colleagues who went straight to the mens room to see if they had the same flowery decor but he came out extremely disappointed. The mensroom had striped tiles. Boring stripes, not the happy joyful kind of stripes.
I feel sad for the men at the City management office.

A month ago the leaves apparently had yet to show their pretty faces. I looked like this in vintage skirt, spring jacket and newly washed hair (I never ever use a blowdryer. I'm lazy. And I don't know how to use it without getting extremely frizzy hair. And the one I have is inherited from my grandmother and I can probably blow harder with my mouth (yeah, yeah insert rude, sexy jokes here)).

I bought some vintage studio portraits that I have yet to show you.

Spring came and the summer came the day after. The flower stands at my neighbourhood market place Olskrokstorget looks pretty in the sunshine.

I found my summer skirts in the back of my wardrobe but since my thighs hate to meet each other I'm wearing tights all year round.

The cheeky smile is here to stay.

One day I realised my hair is as long as my arms.

I was in Scotland, as you probably know.
I tagged along when Jennie had sewing classes and here she is in her wonderful studio instructing one of her students.

Welcoming bathroom.

The toilet roll "holder" was even fancy at this place...

I went to Pollok Park and took lots of self portraits in this amazingly green parkway in the middle of the forrest. See my post from Pollok Park here.

Dancing by myself.

This beautiful path called on me but the ground was extremely muddy so I had to turn around.

Behind Jennie's studio there is a secret garden.

When I came home to Sweden again David had brought home our new coffee table. We found it at a fleamarket the saturday before I went to Scotland and we had to wait until the week after to bring it home. You can actually widen AND raise it into a kitchen table. Clever mid-century designers. It looks so good in our livingroom!

I found a dress on a fleamarket that makes me look like a naughty farmer's daughter. I love it and plan to go for this look the entire summer. Bring on the hay bales and flower crowns!

Went for a more sensible look the day after. Still the "naughty dress" but accompanied with, well, more clothes.

Had a friend over for fruit sallad and (three pots of) tea.

Relaxed on the balcony after my evening run. I am not good with flowers but I think that two surviving plants out of three is a quite okay result. Right?

The morning sun is just lovely in our kitchen window.

Summer is here and has turned our front yard into a jungle.

I keep overdressing because I refuse to acknowledge the warm weather. I tend to fill my bags with clothing during the day as I realise I don't need the jacket, or the cardigan, or the scarf...

Us in the elevator. Today it's 74 days until we get married, by the way.

My handsome David. This is from the day in the blog post beneath this one.

Hello there!

On sunday I woke up with hair like this. I'll tell you this is not the normal state of my hair straight out of bed. It's usually more troll than princess so I took it as a sign for a good day ahead.

We had a day of casting for David's short film Wallace. Four teenage girls came to audition for one of the roles and as I told you in my last post I got to play the class bully who gets slapped in the face. Each girl did the scene at least three times. So I got slapped in the face at least 12 times.
My face was all red and tingly!
In two weeks I get to do it all over again...

Tjingeling!

Yesterday David and I got to visit a place we've been dying to see for several years now.
The old Papyrus factory in Mölndal, just outside of Gothenburg.
The place has been abandoned for a long time and it's a dream come true for people who are into things like urban exploring.
David is going to make a shortfilm soon and this was the first place that came to our minds when we talked about possible locations for a couple of the film's scenes. We had to have permission to enter the old factory and a man who showed us around, it could be quite dangerous to walk around there alone. I've been dreaming of having a photoshoot with a model and my jewelry there, so I was happy to come along and see the place beforehand.
It was such an amazing adventure!
This is exactly the kind of places I love. It's rugged, rusty, scary and beautiful all at the same time.
We found that it is the perfect spot for both David's shortfilm and my jewelry photoshoot so we will definitely be back there soon.
I took A LOT of photos and it was really hard to cut down the amount of pictures to post here so beware: this is one large blog post.
So, lets have a look then. I hope you get a little bit of the feeling we had walking around this fantastic setting.

Waiting for our guide to arrive.

And we went inside...

The old escalators have been still for many years.

The light was amazing everywhere here!

White fabric was blowing in the wind.
My heart rate was beating all over the place, I was just so excited!

Spooky.

Light seeping in from the outside.
Click on the photo for beautiful wide screen effect.

Looked out the door in the previous picture.

Ha!
I stopped abruptly when I saw this in the corner of my eye.

Hello there, creepy large baby!

Looking through one of the large factory buildings.

The graffiti on the board says Snopp (Penis) which of course is a perfectly reasonable thing to write in an abandoned factory building.

Then we found this large room. It was breathtaking. I mean, yeah. Truly breathtaking.

The large windows and high ceiling made this room so light and beautiful.

Light coming through the ceiling like drapes over the cement.

We came out of the buildings and said goodbye to our guide who told us we were free to walk around on the outside as much as we wanted.
Here is the large cement pool.

I love how the graffiti and the trees turn these grey buildings into something colourful!

"Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink"

This was another really great place. So cool with the two floors, the graffiti and the plants growing everywhere. Yeah, I love this so much!

Skum. Translates to both Weird and Foam. Sometimes swedish really is a weird language (Or a foam language?).

David behind my phone camera.

We walked back to the car with a happy bounce in our steps. Can't wait to return for the real thing.
I love how a place like this can exist in the middle of a city. Apparenly they want to tear it down and build new buildings sometime in the future. I can understand that it's a really unsecure place and the people working in the surrounding buildings must be very tired of people running around unauthorised, and destroying the place even more, but, but, but IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Isn't it beautiful!?
