Late IF

Thank you for sharing your views on taking chances. I seem to be asking myself that question these days, and your input was helpful:)
I missed last weeks's Illustration Friday. It was Celebrate. Weeks just go by so quickly—I look up, and it's Saturday again! Camilla has an explanation.
Have a wonderful weekend. (I went tobogganing today—what are you up to?)

Lovely Salvia

October 12th/ IF:Strings

Blogging is like travelling, don't you find? Last night I went on a long and adventurous journey, and today I have lots of links.
Cool typographic image at Mike Perrys. And super cute kitchen towel at Orange You Lucky.—Then I got into an orbit of textile and softee-works; so much sweet stuff at wee wonderfuls, which led me on to good vibes at Oh Happy Days. This reminded me of super-cool Copenhagen shop; Crème de la Crème à la Edgar—she is sooo talented. And well, then I had to visit Three Potato Four—more awesome stuff. And check out this Llama at Lamadesigns.
Now I just wanna drag my sewing maschine out from the closet ;)

How is your Sunday?

Illustration Friday: Packed

Stumbled across amazing artist Betsy Walton yesterday. I simply adore her art - her use of colours is so refreshing. She also just started a blog - can't wait to see more.

Illustration Friday: Memories

June 29th/ IF: Fierce

... as in "this is one fierce colour for a wall".
Now it's the new colour of my hall. I have had white walls in the whole appartment for a decade, and I was in need for a change.

May 27th/ IF: Worry

A sketch for a collage. I hope I will make it later, but the rest of this week holds no time for it. I won't worry about it, though ;)

Illustration Friday: Wide

Arms wide open.

I highly recommend a visit to Maria Eugenia at Caderno de desenhos, she makes outstanding watercolour illos.

May 4th/ IF: Seed

Also part of Dear Diary :)
Very cool journal pages at Anahata (who also has some great Mothers Day-illos and loads more eyecandies:)

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")

April 14th // IF:Fail

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

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** :))

April 4th/ IF: Homage

... to the little things. The cup of coffee that tastes so good, you have to close your eyes. The perfect shape of a raindrop on the window glass. The stranger on the street, who smiles at you ...
...
Will you tell me your favourite little thing?
