I am a huge fan of Swedish artist Camilla Engman, and so of course, I’m a huge fan of her little sidekick… her dog Morran! Morran has been a huge part of Camilla’s life, and career… have you seen Camilla’s Suitcase Series book? Morran is a major feature! I found out about an hour ago that Morran passed away a few days ago. I don’t know Camilla, or Morran, but I’m crying as I write this. I have two little dogs myself, one of which we almost lost just over a year ago, and the sadness was overwhelming. And so today, I want to share this amazing project that Camilla started in the fall – a book filled with art… Morran art to be exact! She has asked people from all over the world to contribute pieces {these are just a few of my favorites}, and the results are fantastic! It’s going to be a lovely book.
Camilla, I’m sending you lots of love, and Morran… may you run for hours on rainbows xo

This is so sweet. Morran was one lucky dog to have an owner who love is this far reaching. Truly beautiful.
so sweet…. it’s going to be a really beautiful little book.
I too felt moved to write a post in honor of Morran (http://myhyggelig.blogspot.com/2011/11/dear-little-one.html). I am glad Camilla started the book project, she will always have this to treasure, and so will we.
When my brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and my sister was pregnant with their first child, he began to make a video for his unborn daughter to tell his life story. It was a great gift he gave to himself to remember his life, and a great gift for her to have when she is ready to watch it (he passed away when she was 7 months). Taking time to cherish, before and after the sadness helps one ‘accept’ and process.
Our tears are for same reason: Camilla is one of the most generous and creative hearts on Earth and Morran is a puppie for everyone. Thanks for your beautiful tribute.
of course. it’s the only thing i could think to do. i hope it helps a tiny bit.
Your words express my own… I fell in love with Camilla’s work and blog and then Morran (it helped that Morran reminded me of my dog!). Even if we’ve never met. I’ve been touched. I know we all hope this helps Camilla. Thank you.
It is hard to write with tears! I have a tank top with Morran on it and will wear it even more proudly than I did before. My favourite picture is of her sitting in front of a stone church in the mountains. Thank you.
it is hard to write with tears! i now know first hand!
thank you so much for your lovely comment – i’m so jealous that you have a morran tank top! 😉
I felt the same way, thank you for posting this tribute to Morran!
thank you for reading it : )
