For the love of Magnolias

I love Magnolias. These are the minutes to enjoy the flowers of this magnificent tree. In a matter of days, they will have fallen to the ground.

Beautiful stuff to stumble across: Paul Beelen jewelry (via Cally Creates), El blog de Alicia. And I don't remember if I linked to Amy Ross before, but her stuff is a·w·e·s·o·m·e!; also here and here. Very beautiful Flor de Papel, via Eddy and Edwina.

Today, being the last day of April, is also last chance of entering the

April 28th / IF: Wrinkles

("There lives a grand old lady in the wrinkles on my hand
She smiles at me from time to time, her giggles dry as sand
She holds my gaze, and in her eyes I see the endless time
Alas – the grand old lady's eyes – they look a bit like mine")

Also part of Dear Diary.

Return

Back from the combi Jutland-trip/craftsfair, I'm a bit tired, my mind filled with impressions and faces. It's been a good weekend.
I hope you've had a good weekend, too.

presents -- yay:)

I received my PIF-present from Camilla Engman today.
It's beautiful:)) I love it. Thank you so much:)

April 23rd/ IF: Primitive

Doodled a little this morning:)
What we call primitive art today, was rather advanced, I think.

Also part of Dear Diary

Beautiful IFs: Temzlandia, My dog ate my sketchbook, Various Doodles (who also does great figure drawings)

Preparring

I'm so busy preparring for the crafts fair I am attending shortly, and day-times, work has been just crazy lately.
I has meant no blogging - and no diary. I do look forward to visiting, posting and working on my little book.

So long

April 14th // IF:Fail

Well, on a good day, anyway. On a bad, I'll feel a black pit.

weekend-stuff

Made a little bit more for the fair; some cards (more here, here and here) and some hair buckles of old coins. (Also made a few - very simple - belts, and sewed little bags for the earrings -- no pictures - the light had gone:)
And my illo for Illustration Friday - I will post it tomorrow. (wow - I sound busy. Really, it was very relaxing:)) I hope you enjoyed your sunday too.




Some great IF: Fails: Mainly Drawing, Smoking Moose, Charlie Griak.

April 10th

I'm a little busy these days, so I haven't had much time to sit by the computer, and visit you guys. Or to make more than a quick sketch for the Diary. The weekend has time in store for me. I'll see you then:)

Have a wonderful day

April 8th// Illustration Friday: Save

Actually, I don't quite understand myself on this one.
Most of these Dear Diary-pages are done without thinking too much, just letting the pen and brush work, doing the first thing that comes to mind. So ... now fish want to be saved?! From ...? The water? ('cause no one asked them, if this was where they wanted to live?) From the pollusion? The seagull? Your guess is as good as mine. Really ;)
Don't forget to participate in the **April Guessing Contest** :))

A little of this ...

Made a few more of these
