Darrgräs (Briza media)

Familj: Poaceae, gräs

Darrgräs är ett flerårigt gräs som växer löst tuvat och blir 20–50 cm högt. Dess strån är upprätta–uppstigande, har 2–3 ledknutar och är släta eller något sträva. De basala bladslidorna är kala och uppsprickande. Bladen är korta, 2–6 mm breda, grågröna, har en sträv kant och ett 0,5–1,5 mm, tvärt avhugget snärp. Vippan är 6–12 cm, med långa, något vågiga grenar.

Blomställningen avslöjar darrgräset, men då småaxen inte är synliga så har de glesa tuvorna basala blad som utgår nästan vinkelrätt från strået med en inrullad spets. Innan blomning är den övre bladslidan öppen, förtjockad och döljer vippan. Småaxen är rundade, hjärtlika och brunvioletta.

Unik tallnaturskog hotad i Dalarna

Ore skogslandskap är under konstant hot. Svea skog, statens egna skogbolag, har redan avverkat 600 hektar skog i området och dom vill hugga mer. Detta är en unik tallnaturskog i Sverige och hela Västra Europa med en massa rödlistade arter och signalarter. Därför har nu en grupp människor från olika organisationer börjat tälta i området för av bevaka situationen. Jag har en tanke om att jag vill åka dit och se vad som händer nån gång efter nyår. Om det är någon som är intresserad av att haka på så släng en kommentar.

Post 11 - Arthole Strikes Back  Exhibition

During my time in The Creative Shop, I came into contact with a girl named Kayleigh who was distributing flyers for a then-upcoming pop-up illustration fair she and her friend Elliot were organising. They are a duo known as Arthole and they were planning to hold an event on the 27th of October 2019 at Kongs Bar and Arcade. I showed her some of my work as I am keen to get my work out there and we chatted for a bit. This is another example of how the shop is a great networking place for interesting connections, in my view and what ultimately led me to apply to do Arthole. While applying for the show in October didn’t go so well as I wasn’t accepted due to space issues, I did apply again and got accepted for another event in December. For this art fair, called ArtHole Strikes Back (which was at Cineworld cinema on the weekend the New Star Wars film was on), I had to create completely new stock, consisting of lino printed stickers and larger train-themed prints as my existing supply of stickers had been inadvertently left in the Uni staff office over the holiday period. I did find this experience rather stressful as my elderly cat, Blackie, had just died and as I had just broken up from Uni I was in holiday mode! It was also my first time attempting to organise the display, wrapping and general layout of my work. I had, however, priced my work before for three previous University exhibitions. I based my pricing structure for the Arthole event on that of a girl called Rhian (@rhiexists on Instagram) whose lino printed work I saw whilst working at The Creative Shop.

During preparations for The ArtHole Strikes Back event, I worked very hard to create my linoprints in time. I did, however, underestimate how much work was necessary and ended up staying up until 6am the night before the event. I did not realise how much work was involved regarding the logistics and display of my work. My father Mike had the brainwave to display the cassette tape stickers in old cassette boxes turned the other way around, so the stickers would stand up. This was very effective, in my opinion, as it was a retro-themed display choice.

The event itself on Sunday 22nd of December went really well as I made £43, which, considering the bulk of the stock sold was stickers which were priced at 50p and £1, was not too bad, in my view. It was also great to meet up with Kayleigh and Elliot from ArtHole again,  to chat with the other creatives trading at the event and to show them my work and was a great place for socialising overall. Despite this, there were a few issues with the event in that the majority of the potential audience of movie goers just weren’t interested in buying items from all of the stalls and so the majority of the revenue came from other visiting traders and their friends. Also, on a personal note, due to the frantic nature of my prepping for the exhibition, I didn`t make any business cards which, while it didn’t affect me too much, could have helped me look more professional and would have allowed people to know more about SignalArts Illustration such as social media and contact details. Overall, participating in this art fair was a great experience for me and helped improve my confidence as if proved that I can make illustration work that people like and will buy.

Brudsporre (Gymnadenia conopsea)

Familj: Orchidaceae, orkideer

Brudsporre är en flerårig, medelstor ört som blir 10–70 cm hög. Stjälken är upprätt, ogrenig, trind och grön. Den har ingen bladrosett. Stjälkbladen är minst 5 st, strödda, långsmalt spetsiga, ca 10 cm långa och 1–2 cm breda. Knoppen har en lång sporre. Fruktställningen består av ett långsmalt ax med rundade kapslar. Som vissen står fruktställningen kvar som en ljusbrun vinterståndare.

Brudsporrens långa, mycket smala och ofläckade blad är bra kännetecken. Överblommade exemplar med långa, täta och rundade kapslar är ett annat. Blommorna är rosa, ibland vita, och utan mönster, väldoftande.

Brudbröd (Filipendula vulgaris)

Familj: Rosaceae, rosväxter

Brudbröd är en flerårig, medelstor ört som blir 20–50 cm hög. Stjälken är styv, upprätt och ogrenig eller fågrenig. Rosettbladen är något asymmetriskt parbladiga. Bladen har många små, göna parblad i två storlekar. Stjälkbladen är få, strödda och mindre än rosettbladen. Knoppen är klotrund och till en början rosa. Sedan slår den ut med en gräddvit, sextalig krona. Fruktställningen består av kvastlika vippor i toppen av stjälk och grenar. Frukterna är raka, håriga, 3–4 mm långa nötter.

Brudbrödets yviga blomställning och mycket karakteristiska blad är goda kännetecken. Rosettbladen har småblad som alternerar mellan två storlekar: de stora är ca 1 cm långa, långsmala och kraftigt tandade. Mellan varje stort bladpar sitter ett par med mycket små bladflikar. De tre översta småbladen är sammanväxta till ett något större uddblad. Krossade blad luktar starkt, friskt eller lite mintaktigt (Artdatabanken 2024).
