EDM14: Something you use every day.
I love my moccamaster coffee brewer which I received as a gift from a dear friend. I really use it every day.
I wanted to substantiate this drawing with some coffee stains and made some test prints on another sheet of paper. Worked well. But in my CoolDiary they bleeded and fringed. Sometimes I don't like my habit to use cheap calendar paper for my drawings. ;-)
A page in my art journal about the good and bad things about turning 42 yet still feeling 21 on the inside! See more here:
apica CD notebook from Tokyu Hands - love the paper! creamy and smooth, takes to pen and pencil beautifully
Nie wieder würde Herbert B. auf seine Gattin Babs hören. Diese blöden Gesundheitstipps aus der der Brigitte, Bild der Frau & Konsorten bekamen ihm definitiv nicht! Was für eine Schnapsidee.
Never again Herbert B. would act on his wife's Babs advice: "Drink a lot when it's hot". He noticed that he oviously was impatient of those health advices from her silly women's magazines.
Activity ist immer wieder genial. Jemand muss den Begriff "Kotflügel" zeichnen und macht das sehr gut. Eigentlich. Wir sind zu blöd und raten "Kackflügel" und "Scheißeengel". ;-)
We had a board game party and played "activity". Somebody had to draw the term "fender". Literally translated into german it means "fecal wing". So he drew a wing and a poop. We have been to uncreative and didn't have any idea, so we guessed "shit angel" and "poop wing". Very funny. ;-)
My progress on my Junque Journal notebook, I inked some pages and edges and added tabs along the top
It has been very hot outside, and our trainer let us do some pace training exercises. My running partner Kurt and I crawled on all fours, and our trainer told us: "No matter that you are lame ducks. You know that I will always love you.". Isn't he cute? ;-)

A few of my Moleskines. Couldn't arrange all in a pile, because I'm not a Jenga queen. ;-)
I use the Moleskine Pocket diary since 2001. These are all from 2001-2013. 2014 is in use, but it isn't understatement to say that the quality of the the Moleskine's paper is nothing short of catastrophic.
It hasn't been good in any time, but for me it's such a serious fall off in quality that I won't use the Moleskine in the following years in all probability.

Just exercises in my visual journal
I got access to the old archive of the company where I work. I found tons of wonderful old pictures. But I’ve been very delighted when I discovered the old company stamps where you can see the development of the Logo over the years (from 1945 on). And I laughed when I saw the stamp „Bitte nochmal“, what means: „Again, please“. I think it is from the time when the secretary had to write letters with the typewriter and she made too many typing errors. What a destructive stamp! My colleague and I had so much fun with the imagination, that she got out a contra stamp „Machs selbst“ (=> Do it yourself!“) which I found fittingly in my stamps collection. ;-)
I knew it had been a long time since I journaled. I didn't realize that it had been almost a year since I had uploaded any journal pages.
materials: printed cardstock, a plain piece of paper, pieces cut from a map, cacti from a vintage book, and a car cut out of a magazine.
words: lyrics from some jimmy eat world song.
I love handwritten letters or postcards. In my #postcrossing account I wrote that I love #mapcards. One postcrosser from Singapore sent me this postcard, because she didn't have a mapcard. Isn't that cute?
If you also love handmade and handwritten letters please feel free to join the group #snailmailexchange on #facebook.
This is a set of 5 over-sized postcards of some of my visual journal pages. Each glossy postcard represents a journal spread, and is 8.5" x 5.5". The printing quality is so good, you can read my writing and feel what I was feeling when I created the journal page. Keep it for yourself for art inspiration, or mail it. The back is blank, except for my information, so you can write a note and address it.
My second try at Street Team crusade's wax resist. I used acrylic paint over the rubbing. The rubbings were done on a carving on my bed, and a glass vase and a Christmas tree ornament that I got at a yard sale last month. The front of the ornament had too much relief, but the back worked great.
Three of the girls in the vintage photo are my grandma and her sisters. I'm not sure who the fourth is.
Moleskine sagt in einem Thread auf der Moleskine-facebook-Seite, dass sie die Papierqualität niemals verändert haben. Soso.
Moleskine told in the following thread on their facebook wall "Besides, we've never changed the quality of the paper". But why I could get such a result in a comparison between the 2001 and 2014 paper?

Please send a feedback to Moleskine, if you also noticed this decreasing quality. If nobody complains about they will never learn that there are many unhappy people.

At the weekend I dreamed some strange stuff. At first my haircutter recommended to make some white highlights. This would distract from my grey strands of hair. But I should to pay 15 Euro for one highlight, so I decided to wake up instead of making the highlights.
The next day I dreamed I had ash blonde hair. It looked really very ugly. But when I parted my hair in the other direction I got back my old hair color.
After that I dreamed that I put out one of my old VW golfs out of the garage for a joyride. I already dreamed several times before that I kept my VW Golf 1 and 2, because I liked them. In my dreams they are in a garage (I only know where when I’m sleeping ;-) But this night I’ve been scared because I couldn’t remember where I put the vehicle registration documents.
After that I dreamed I would visit London, and I thought about contacting Anna Denise. But I did not have the guts to contact her because I thought my spoken english wouldn’t be good enough.
Sometimes I want to understand my brain and the stories wich it is creating for my dreams.
