I usually dry rose buds in the summer, which I store in a glass jar and open every now and then during the winter to smell the scent of summer.

Jag brukar torka rosenknoppar på sommaren som jag förvarar i en glasburk och som jag öppnar då och då under vintern för att känna doften av sommar.

All the bookmarks that I use are these cards given out by shops, organisations or tradespeople. I have collected these from my most recent reads.
This magenta Christmas bauble decorated with white flowers with rainbow pink centres was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the flowers, the larger of the petals which are 10mm and their centres which are 4mm. The flower centres are raised cups and are imported from France. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” is “reflection on black”.
I thought that this bauble with its colourful magenta colour might look nice against a black background and reflected in a mirror.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

For this photoshoot, I decided to use the pegs standing up instead of on a line so that the little hearts are in the correct orientation. Since Autumn is my favorite season, the maple leaves here were a natural complement for this picture.
Hope you enjoy!

When I was twelve, I entered a drawing competition, and I won my first set of Derwent pencils: a tin case of 36. As a designer and illustrator as well as a photographer, over the years I have acquired several different sets of Derwents for different purposes, including my beloved Derwent Studio Pencil set of 72 which I use predominantly these days for designing clothes.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 9th of April is “pencil points”. What better way to meet the theme (although now I look at them, some are pointier than others) than with my beloved Derwent Studio Pencil set? Colours in this photo from bottom left to top right are: Number 25 Dark Violet, Number 33 Light Blue, Number 45 Mineral Green, Number 48 May Green, Number Zink Yellow, Number 11 Spectrum Orange, Number 15 Geranium Lake, Number 22 Magenta, Number 17 Pink Madder Lake, Number 19 Madder Carmine, Number 23 Imperial Purple, Number 29 Ultramarine and Number 32 Spectrum Blue. The pencil point printed ribbon was a Christmas gift from a friend who gave me a whole box of ribbons to be creative with.
Derwent, or the Derwent Cumberland Pencil Company, is a manufacturer of pencils and other stationery. The business began in 1832 in Cumberland under the name of Banks, Son & Co. The company was bought by Acco UK and became a brand of their product range.

The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 19th of March is “white and red”.
After using a pair of beautiful 1:12 size miniature red slippers from my miniatures collection for last week’s “sprinkles” theme, I thought I might use them again, along with a second pair of miniature red slippers and a white parasol for this week’s theme.
Both pairs of shoes are a centimetre in height and length. They are painted and are made of metal. The parasol is five centimetres long and is made of white satin and lace with a bow and a metal handle.

Our family has always loved Janosch's Tiger and Bear stories. So one year I painted some scenes of this book "Oh wie schön ist Panama" on Easter eggs.
Here are three of them.

This is a single flower I picked in the garden. The vase, bottom right, is an old fashioned glass milk bottle. I edited the photograph in Snapseed and on Flickr.

The Easter Bunny can be traced back to Thirteenth Century, pre-Christian Germany, where people worshiped several gods and goddesses. The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate. In the Eighteenth Century, the tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws” also came out of Germany.
Easter Eggs represent the birth of new life, and it’s believed that decorating eggs for Easter also dates back to the Thirteenth Century. Hundreds of years ago, churches had their congregations abstain from eggs during Lent, allowing them to be consumed again on Easter.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 8th of April is “eggs in black and white” as we draw nearer to Easter 2022. Therefore, I am celebrating with Peter Rabbit, who whilst not the Easter Bunny, is a well loved character from my childhood. "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, published in 1901, that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he gets into, and is chased around, the garden of Mr. McGregor. This Peter Rabbit egg-shaped lidded tin was a gift from a friend Easter two years ago. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile
