• Surf over to the Mosaic Maker, set up your mosaic, and paste your URLs.

IF - Punchline, Punch line

I could not help my self, the illustration was to obvious. Punch line. For the ones that don't see it is a line of people waiting to get some punch.

A couple of changes from the sketch to the end result.

Medium used: watercolour, pencil for the sketch, sharpie to trace around the painted picture.

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.


Yes, I used sunblock, but I still managed to get burn. Making the best out of the situation, made an art journal entry....

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

Car and muffin cards - male birthday cards

A couple of birthday cards. Costom made.

Medium used: ink, acrylic paint, brads, gloss medium.

My house, my shellter.

My house, my shellter.

Detail.
I got my first collage cube, rubber stamps cube, today. No, they don't sell these where I live, so Etsy was the place to go.

Made a little collage piece. Medium used: ink pad, vintage book pages, rubber collage cube, watercolour , watercolour pencil, iridescent and heavy structure gel medium for glue, acrylic paint.

Art journal - mummy, no its not Halloween

My art journal entry for today is a mummy. Yes, I know it's not Halloween yet. Sometimes a image just wants to come out, today it was this one. I have done a lot of watercolour entry's lately, mainly because I got a new journal book with lovely watercolourpaper.
Medium used: watercolour and HB pencil.

Felted wool scarf - flower petal

Felted a scarf, trying out the new wool. When the weather gets warmer, I'll make more of these for Christmas gifts. Felting is a wonderful outside activity. All the nap/shag fly with the wind and don't get in your house, dusting is not what I want to spend my time doing.


Colours used: dark magenta, white, standard yellow and ocher.

Blogging how mutch time does it really take?

I have not blogged a lot. 2 reasons, Mainly because I am not sure that anybody would be interested in reading it AND my English is broken(not good). This week will be a test to see how much time I would use to keep up an OK blog. Hopefully it will take me shorter time keeping up the blog than it takes me to reply to the mail. Why blog now? To get my creativity out there. For those who know me you all know I love to create. I create everyday, it can be an art or craft project or my art journal. Creating is not my problem but getting it out there/here. This week I'll try to show you some of what I do.

IF - baby

Have you seen little children pretending that their dolls are babies? Medium used: watercolour , watercolour pencil, ink for the background, vintage book page, ink mixed with acrylic for the colour of the dress, iridescent medium for the spoon.

IF - worry

This little birdy worry about who's shadow it is.



Medium used: watercolour.

IF - seed

A dandelion seed floating with the wind.

Wanted to keep the simple lines of the seed, yet give the wind some form in the background.
The iridescent and the silver comes out a bit gray in the pictures, it is actually quite shine.
Medium used is: ink for the marble effect, watercolour pencil, acrylic paint, iridescent medium.

IF - save

For me the word save triggered an association to an avalanche. The illustration is an attempt to capture the moment somebody is dragged out of an avalanche.


Medium used is: ink, watercolour , embossing ink and powder.

Enda en liten prøve tur

Det blir enda en liten prøve.

Er ikke sikker på hvordan dette virker så nå blir det mye prøving og feiling. Forhåpentligvis blir det bra til slutt. Det hadde vært kjekt å kunne koble denne siden opp mot hjemmesiden min. Helst uten at det ble for uoversiktlig for de som bruker siden, og ikke minst at det ikke ble for mye arbeid på meg :) ......

Prøvetur

Skal snart prøve denne bloggen...
