3/365:2013 ATC little miss sunshine
With yesterdays blue card, I got playing with the yellows. Out of that came little miss sunshine. Although we actually do not have any sun here this time of year. We have polar nights. Due to the twilight effect is is not dark 24 hours a day, in the same way as it will be light some time before sunrise.
Polar Nights is a phenomenon that occurs in the winter, just north of the Arctic Circle(and south of the Antarctic Circle). For a while the sun is below the horizon, even when it is at its highest. This period is at its shortest near the Arctic circle and increases in duration closer to the poles. We will have the sun back around the 10th of January. On the upside the areas that have polar winter nights, will have midnight sun in an equivalent period in the summer.
Medium used: acrylic, pen and promarkers. The card is sprayed with varnish.

Norwegian:
Med gårsdagens blå kort, fikk jeg i dag lekt med gule farger. Ut av dette kom lille frøken solstråle. Selv om vi faktisk ikke har noen solen her på denne tiden av året. Vi har mørketid. På grunn av skumrings effekten er det ikke mørk 24 timer i døgnet, på samme måte som det vil være lys litt før soloppgang.
Mørketiden er et fenomen som oppstår om vinteren, like nord for polarsirkelen (og sør for den sørlige polarsirkelen). For en stund solen er under horisonten, selv når den er på sitt høyeste. Denne perioden er på sitt korteste nær polarsirkelen og øker i varighet nærmere polene. Vi får sola tilbake rundt den 10. januar. På den posetive siden får de områdene som har polare vinternetter, midnattsol i et tilsvarende langt tidsrom om sommeren.

Art journal - piece of the puzzle
Sometimes you are given a piece, but dont know here to put it.
It can be life that gives you a piece. Even though you like the piece, it is hard to find the right place for it. You don't know how or where to fit it in.
There have been some questions/inquiry about me selling things I have made on line, and although I like the idea, I don't know how to fit that in to my life... I want to do it in a good and professional way... When you meet your customer/client face to face there is so easy to find good solution...
Medium used: watercolours, watercolour pencil, watersoluble wax pastel and permanent marker, ink pencil, puzzle pieces and acrylic.

Lovely Blog Award

Look what I got! (Late)Last year I got the Lovely Blog Award from Stacey at the http://artsnark.blogspot.com Stacy is among many things a mixmedia artist that let her creativity bobble to the surfaces and that share some of it through her blog, her Etsy shop and the ZNE network.

The lovely blog award is a bit like a tag, I am supposed to recommend 7 of my favourite blogs. There are so many lovely blogs out there! I reed most blogs through a RSS feed this way I don't have to spend my time to go and see if it's something new everyday the feed does that for me. This way I got to concentrate on reading the blogs, and can therefore read more. Some of the blogs that I liked and did find interesting I tagged in this post http://ewian.blogspot.com/2008/11/tagged.html
The 7 I list in this lovely blog award are supposed to link back & suggest 7 others. If any of you don't wish to "play along", that's OK. I still think your blog is lovely and you get to keep the Lovely Blog Award. BUT if you do play along I like to give you an actually tag I have made for you. See picture below. If you send the lovely blog award on it's way AND send me your snail-mail address I will send it to you.
To the ones that I am tagging, you can send your snali-mail adress to this mail; ewianblog (at) gmail. com DO NOT PUT IT IN THE COMMENT! If you don't want to share your mail address that is fine, your choice how much you want to tell other people. Just remember the tag is made for you. I hope all of you will play along!

Art journal - ice skating

Ice skating, it has been many yeas since I last ice skated. I think about 15 years... Not that I suddenly started doing it again, but the roads has been slippery. First a lot of snow, then rain and then frost. It all made it in to wonderful ice skating and chair sledge days.
Medium used: permanent marker, watersoluble wax pastel, acrylic, masking fluid and watercolour. The entry is made in the brown leather journal from Rhonda Miller.

Art journal - Sunburned
Well it happened again I went out in the sun and it stinged me. I got a sharp distinction between the pail and the tomato-red.

Medium used: watercolour, homemade collage paper, acrylic paint as glue, pencil.
