Hello and Happy New Year -

the theme of ART JOURNAL JOURNEY was WINTERWONDERLAND,

but since we usually had around 10-15°c  - I didn't really get a Winter Wonderland feeling this winter!
My page turned out green and is about hope and spring....
I guess I missed the theme, but I hope you still enjoy my page:

 ....and then we found a winter wonderland in the mountains....

 The kids made this wonderful ice lamp which has a candle inside and they also made some dirt and snow muffins ;)

what wings are for.......

Hello,

after a long period of not publishing anything at all (due to work) I am finally back.
I am happy to be back....

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!

And I have some work for you to see....Mix it Monthly
When I showed this journal page to my friend she answered:

What wings are for....to dream - to fly - to soar - to explore:

I hope you enjoyed my pages! Please leave a comment :)

Through my window......

Hello!

Through my window.......Art Journal Journey.....

 .....still dreaming.....

time and boredom / zeit und langeweile

Hello everyone,

the Art Journal Journey's theme TIME made me think about my boredom diary I used to have, so I got it back out an thought about time again.

When I think about time these days I usually think about not having enough of it. Not enough time to paint, create and whatever else keeps popping up in my head.

But there were other times in my life. Obviously in 2003 I was so bored, I started my boredom diary:

Maybe someday - when the time is right - I will make a big collage out of it!
Hope you didn't get bored ;)

Flowers II

And here as promised more Flowers for the Mix it Monthly Challenge

 For this first one I used a background that I prepared with blue lino ink. I used some handmade paper to create the flowers and later on I stamped and drew over the page at bit. It is still quite reduced, but I do like it like that.

And then I did this page when I was drawing with my little daughter....

Take a look at what my little daughter did, after she made me give her a journal just like mine :)

Thank you very much for stopping by and please leave a comment!

Flowers I

Hello there,

I can't believe I haven't been writing since May!!!! My life was quite busy lately - I went to Greece with my students and once our school year was over, went on a vacation with my family. With kids at home and my husband working there really wasn't much time to draw. But now I am back.

I actually did two water color paintings on my birthday:

 

I really wanted to do some flowers for:

Mix it Monthly:   August / September Mixed Media Flowers

 but then I saw a swan on my paper....

I also did some zentangle flowers, which my 7 year-old daughter wanted to color....

And I made a sheep for my son:

and a cat for my daughter!

and those for my mother in law.....
so I wasn't too lazy after all.

Have a nice week and more flowers soon!

The Sea - Das Meer

Hello!
What a lovely theme...

The Sea - Das Meer

one of my favorite places to be!
And this time I made up my mind to do more than just one piece on the subject!

So here is my first journal drawing - it is the memory of a beautiful vacation in Spain:
