Visting Astrid Björk

I'm in Stockholm at the moment. Today I spent a lovely afternoon in the studio/workshop of jewellery designer and friend Astrid Björk.
Astrid has a super nice little shop connected to her workspace at the top of the steps at Blecktornsgränd. A very picturesque adress at Söder, worth the climb whether you're into stylish jewellery or not.

This is Astrid worktable. Inspiring, indeed!
No wonder she's got that huge smile on her face!

I managed to keep Astrid from working for at least two hours, over coffee and brownies. Or I shouldn't say keep her from work, since we are our work. It's always on our minds and we are constantly talking about it. It's great to have collegues and friends to share info and tips with, as well as warnings! Not to speak of to test ideas and just generally support each other.

Now Astrid and I are toying with the idea of some kind of collaboration. Maybe an exhibition, maybe a fashionshow. We'll see what the future holds...
