AKWAABA!

Welcome! Africa is in great transition. One of them is the large urbanization and alienation of traditional life and culture - the same process as other countries going thru modernization has experienced. After years as part time African muting to the West African country Ghana - with mane camp in Norway Scandinavia - I have learned to love the culture, and the rich art work. "My Africa" is a celebration of the combination of beautiful african images and the Scandinavian make-it-yourself approach to life. I intend to share how traditions can be kept alive in modern life style, as well as present practical suggestions to others that try to combine multicultural family life. I can be contacted for consultancy work in both Ghana and Norway.

Two Angels at my table

Christmas is also about angels. I am lucky enough to have two of them in my house. As any mother I always look for good role models and images to identify with for my children. Living in Norway, it is still hard to find images showing that angels comes in all colors. I have therefor made some to underline that fact.
Two cast figures made in ready-made forms. The coloring didn´t mix well, but the girls were happy with the result and keep each their sample by their bed.
These two angels hanging at our entrance hall during advent and christmas did not have a politically correct birth, but they are still popular images in the home. After the holidays there is always sales on products that were not soled for its season. Last year I found some ginger bread dolls at 70% off. With some dressing and new hear, they became exactly what I were looking for.
