This is my collage for the month of February, 2012. The left side is the back of a 6x9 manila envelope that I taped in to my journal. I will use it to keep receipts and other tidbits from the month.
This will go in my daily writing/smashbook style journal. Thanks for looking!
On our way back from Stockholm to Warnemünde. A very corpulent woman wanted to go tho the buffet, but the passage between her, her husband and an also very corpulent woman which was sitting behind them was narrow. The woman asked her husband if he could move a bit forwards, because she didn’t fit through. He turned around, saw the woman behind them and said, rolling his eyes: „No wonder“…. He really didn’t realize that his own wife was as corpulent as the woman sitting behind them. Is it true, deep love or some kind of perception disorder? ;-)
On our way back from Warnemünde to Kiel we visited Wismar. Cute little town.
Ich bin so genervt! Auf der Suche nach einer Alternative für mein Moleskine (das Papier ist einfach zu schlecht geworden) kaufte ich mir ein Aquarellbuch (VANG ROSSO). Meine Überlegung war, dass ich ohnehin meist mit Aquarellfarben zeichne und ich dann auch gleich auf Aquarellpapier umsteigen kann. Also begann ich voller Vorfreude das erste Bild… und stellte fest: ICH KANN NICHT AUF GUTEM PAPIER ZEICHNEN! ICH KANN NUR BILLIG! ;-)
Zum Einen war ich erstaunt, dass das Papier weder Masking Tape noch Sensitive Tape verträgt - die Oberfläche zerreißt beim Abziehen. Zum Anderen gefällt mir das ganze Bild nicht. Es sieht mir… zu ernsthaft aus. Wie eine Kinderbuchillustration von Erwachsenen für Kinder. Ich mag viel lieber den Style „von Kindern für Kinder“ ;-) Vielleicht muss ich ein bisschen üben. Aber ich hatte gehofft, dass ich begeistert sein würde. Bin ich nicht. Außerdem hat das Buch ein für mich beknacktes Format. warum sind alle kleinen Aquarellbücher im Querformat? (Passt nicht zu mir und nicht auf meinen Scanner) Also alles wieder auf Anfang.
I’m so annoyed. While searching an alternative for my Moleskine Pocket diary (the paper’s quality is too bad!) I bought a little watercolor book from VANG (VANG ROSSO). Mostly I use watercolors, so I thought that would be a good idea. Wrong! Bad idea! I’m obviously not able to draw onto good paper. I don’t like the style from my drawing… it looks so unvibrant and looks too serious. That’s not me. Besides I don’t like the horizontal format. Why all small watercolor books are only available in this format? I gave it a try, but it’s not my favorite format. (My scanner doesn’t like it also.) Perhaps I really need cheap paper. Return to the beginning, new search.
I made this journal for my son a few days ago...

Inside cover of my book "Creating my Desired Life". It's a visual journal I'm making as I work through the book "Your Heart's Desire" by Sonia Choquette.
My third session at the dentist... (we planned 8-10 sessions in january). I'm so happy that I changed the dentist, because my last dentist, Dr. Garlichs in Kiel, disregarded three carious teeth and many many exposed dental necks. Instead of this he wanted to renew my front teeth (saw the dollar signs in his eyes) and wanted me to extract a healthy tooth.
I'm so glad that I've been sceptical against Dr. Garlich's method of treatment and that I changed the dentist. I'm really really happy now with my new dentist.
