“Maja” by Mari Savio and Kati Rapia
Posted by – May 4, 2010
I post again about a book by my friends Mari and Kati. Now is the turn of “Maja”, inspiration for the whole family to create the fantasy worlds.
“Maja” gives instructions and good ideas on how to create new and funny stuffs for children using and recycling what we have home. It also gives some seeds of ideas for decorating the “Imagination room”, the children’s own room.
“Maja” has been selected to the Finest Finnish Books 2008 collection by the Finnish Book Arts Committee.
The Graphic design, illustration, jacket and binding design of the book .. by Jussi Karjalainen.

little Christmas decorations made from recycled materials
Posted by – December 8, 2009
Last week my dear friend Mirja Backmansson and I have improvised a small workshop to make, with our recycled materials, decorative ribbons for the Christmas packages.
Just… fun, creative and relaxing!!!

Our small recycled will be on sale the next two weekends at Felini’s place, one of the magnificent centuries-old wooden houses that is open to visitors these days …
.
A shame, anyway, that Anna Huhta‘ s Christmas shop of last year will not be open this one. There, some of the artisans, artists, writers and designers who live or work in Loviisa, we had our woks to sell. It was wonderful!. I’m glad, however, that it’s due to a greater success for her.
