Ongoing: Fill an Art Journal

Summer 2013 I started an Art Journal. I intended to fill it up with all kinds of artsy things. But I lost momentum. This is what I have so far. Resolution for this year: FILL THAT THING UP!

 

There’s dust between my teeth…

Last year two of my favourite people got married! And to each other no less! And they built a house! So I thought long and hard about what to give them for the wedding. Money is always good, but something self-made is personal and unique.

The summer before, we drove to a local farm together because they wanted to adopt a kitten. They found theirs and I fell in love with mine and very spontaneously decided to adopt her. Which was one of the best decisions I ever made. She brings me joy every day!

Perfect for basing a wedding gift on, right? RIGHT!

After some research and surfing for inspiration, I settled on a cat-statue, for their soon to be garden! And this is the story of that statue!

2 weeks later I get the invitation to her birthday get-together and I thought: „Hm. I can not make the 1,5m tall Moai-statue. But maybe his tiny little brother?“ Moai – Easter Island Statue weiterlesen

Wenn ich in Norddeich aus dem Zug steige und das Meer rieche und dann höre, dann fängt für mich die Entspannung an. Ich verbringe die Überfahrt mit der Fähre auf Deck, egal bei welchem Wetter und freue mich unbändig, wenn ich endlich die Insel und die Strandpromenade sehen kann! Meine Insel: Norderney! weiterlesen
