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:

FAVOURITE POEMS & QUOTES / LIEBLINGS - GEDICHTE & ZITATE

Hello Everyone,

nice to have you here, visiting my blog.

Today I want to show you the work I did for the Art Journal Journey theme :

04/2015 FAVOURITE POEMS & QUOTES

LIEBLINGS - GEDICHTE & ZITATE

I love Oscar Wilde, he was, is and probably will be my favorite writer…..followed by some others…like William Blake, but Oscar Wilde is my number one. Basically everything he said or wrote can be used as a quote. For my work I chose lines from my favorite fairy-tales: “The Nightingale and the Rose” and “The Selfish Giant”.

I hope you enjoy it – and please leave a comment!

Angles - Things with Wings

Hello there...
I have been pretty busy with my work as a teacher lately - so I am really, really late with my work!
Here are my Things with Wings...for the Art Journal Journey and Mix  it Monthly in one go:

Stamps

Hello there....

today I made my first rubber stamps. I was inspired by a book by Geninne D. Zlatkis it is called "Stempelglück" in German and is absolutely lovely!

Well, here are my results:

I also printed on self made tags and made some little stamps from my leftover print block parts.
What a fun experience this was.....and I need to buy more print block maybe a bit less soft....since I am used to lino-printing. 

Birds, Beasts and Humans - Vögel, Tiere und Menschen - Part II

Hello everyone,

as I said, there is more work to come. Last night I had a few hours of creative time and here is my work:

And then, as I told you before, my 4 year-old son wanted to draw for me as well, when he realized that my daughter was drawing birds for me!!!!

He drew a picture using felt-tip pens and I photocopied his drawing on water color paper. Then I drew some birds on top of it and it kind of looked like a nest. I am not sure yet,  if I should add some color or just leave it back and white.....

What do you think?

I asked my 7 year-old daughter to draw a bird for me and she did :) I call them The Dancing Birds.

I transfered her image onto a watercolor background and then made a collage:

....and then my 3 year-old boy wanted to join in as well..... so there will be more work to come soon!!!

Have a great Sunday!
