SKYNDA LANGSAMT...

 

A journal page for my mum - skynda langsamt = hurry slowly.

Hurrying around to please others and to prove that she still can do things.. just like my grandma.

Instead it is better to "touch a few" and let them " touch" you to .

Gelli plate background with stamps from Carabele studios .

Take care out there!

Another page in my journal  - this time about finding the right exit.

The background is a collage, painted with gesso and later with Neocolors II.

Listen

 

The last one (4/4) - listen to your body.

My body is trying to tell me something - I have to learn to listen and to understand this magic language.

February - please, be kind!

 Please February - be kind!

We need light and happiness. We need signs of spring and sleepthrough nights. We need hope and kindness.

Please be gentle - please be kind!

This is my 3rd page (out of 4) where the background is a collage and the focus is a stamped image.

Here I`ve used Mela (Stampotique) , Funky Ducks (Carabelle studio) and Rainbow is my favorite color (Carabelle studio). 

I love using "old" scrap pieces - here I even found paper from SODAlicious ! LONG way back!

Let us hope that February will be nice!

JANUARY - blues

Thirty days has September, April , June and November.

Unless leap year is its fate, 

February has twenty-eight.

But all the rest have tree days more,

...

...

...

excepting January, wich has six thousand one hundred and eighty-four.

This spread is about all these wonderful things to expect and look forward to, once January has passed.

More colours, a brighter sun .... all these "things" waiting for their time to shine.

I `ve used acrylics , posca-pens,  templates (Kate crane and Birgit Koopsen) from Carabelle Studio , a lovely stamp from Gummiapan and different die-cuts from Elisabeth Craft Design. 

Take care, out there!
