WHORANGE has a new superhero. she hails from the land of sweden, forges craveable woodland creatures from ceramic and glass, shoots red lighting bolts from her fingers, and her name is frida fjellman.
frida's 2007 exhibit "nocturnal dreams," at gustavsbergs konsthall, introduced a magical land where fauna, furniture, and mother nature frolicked together in harmony.
i'd like to thank darling reader, ele (aka the prosperous fox), for introducing me to the luminous land of the fabulous frida, and for drawing special attention to frida's plasma and ceramic lemmings...
plasma lemmings. what's not to whorange?

Wow, I hope you don't mind sharing your heroes. And I love the cat amidst the plastic menagerie.

oliver, sorry, lemmings are just for staring at, not for purchasing.

in some parts of the world i am known as the Orange man and or guy. i own a great number of orange articles and as an artist/ weaver i have produced many orange pieces of cloth. a friend of mine sent me the link to your site/ blog and at first viewing i am delighted.
I think you might find my various web things interesting also, it is art after all.

NOT as cool as a plasma lemming, but readily available.... and it does have a clothes-peg foot.
best,
the prosperous fox
