We went  looking for a linocut print shop operated by accomplished printmaker Monika Peterson.  
Her prints are stunning.  
 

To our disappointment, her shop was closed early today.  Happily, we stumbled upon a letterpress printmaker named Kaspar a few doors down.  

He and Peter had a great chat about various presses and we got to talk about our This Box is for Good project.  We’ll be printing a new edition of our box with Roy Scholten at Grafisch Atelier Hilversum in The Netherlands layer this week! 

I love the Danish sense of order (and clean washrooms).  These coloured pencils were available on a “Help Yourself” basis in the café at the Danish Architecture Centre.  
 

They followed this beautiful staircase in another section of the Centre, all located in Blox. 
 

We later noticed that even paint chips are beautiful, and seem like actual painted pieces of paper.

Sadly, while we were swimming in beautiful design and colour, The Old Stock Exchange (Børson) was on fire nearby.  We didn’t know what was burning until the news started reporting it.  

Now we smell like smoke. And we feel sad that the people of Denmark have lost something built 400 years ago.  

Here in its full glory:

A colourful day, indeed.    

 

In the five days leading up to our travel, I walked:

In the first five days while travelling, I walked:

Travel is a good reason to walk!  

We arrived back in Copenhagen last night, where we were welcomed with a glass of Happy Hour wine. All hotels should be thus.  

Peter found a cool ping pong room for a pre dinner warm up.  

Despite that I cannot seem to sleep a full night no matter where I am in the world, this is a lovely spot to lay one’s head.  

Peter’s friends Olle and Luisa were warm hosts during our visit to Malmö, Sweden, these past few days. 

While they fed us tasty food and cocktails, warm soup and hot coffee, we couldn’t help but notice all the ways that Peter has been present in their lives, from afar, over the years.

I know he felt cherished to see his artistry on their walls.
