Sometimes I feel as I'm hoarding input, input, input... like a hamster. Even if my head is already full of ideas, I'm collecting more and more ideas. I've got so many ideas in my brain... and than I'm thinking and thinking and thinking... "Where should I begin? Which idea should I realize first, which idea I should give up? " ...and than I bring off such a small output. Like hamster droppings. (If I compare the output with the huge ideas pool in my head).

 

Shakespeare quotes with added abstract elements... mixed media in large moleskine.

This is a journal page I did at night, after my studio open house. I was so happy and feeling like everything was finally falling into place.

Beatrix Potter 's sketches on my Pupito's Diary !!! : )

Caitlin and I watched television from the master bed as we sketched together in our books... skimming through magazines looking for images that inspired us. It was raining outside, and we totally enjoyed being lazy, lounge-lizards.

 

This was a strawberry that I saw in my Real Simple magazine. Voila! A real simple sketch. :) Oooops, I just realized I put the incorrect date down on the page... duh! I'll have to change it in my book.

We got a parking ticket in Soller. There was also a little envelope behind the wiper, and we asked the parking attendant what do do now and where to pay. It's easy: If you put 3 Euros into the envelope and put it into the little post box on the parking meter it's done. If you want to make a deposit in the bank you have to pay 6 Euros and if you pay by bank transfer the amount will be 12 Euros in our case. Graduated prices for wrong parking ;-)

materials: printed card stock, a plain piece of paper, and a terribly romantic polaroid of my grandparents in their prime.

words: the combined efforts of my head and my heart.

Always I begin something new. At the moment I'm checking out dip nibs, ink, handlettering and all that stuff.

This Leipzig stamp is a phenomenon. It was stamped three days before the initial issue day. Don't understand how this could work.

Margot ,my best friend's pet on my Animals Journal !!!

should i give up?

should i just keep chasing pavement,

even if it leads nowhere?

would it be a waste,

if i knew my fate?

  

you invade my thoughts, my mind, my body.

i love the rush, it's like a drug.

i want to belong to you...

in a small, perhaps temporary, way

i already do.

We visited Plön and the Parnass Tower. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parnass_Tower) We had a great view over the moraine landscape of Holstein Switzerland.

After that we cycled to the Prinzeninsel, because I wanted to have a look if this would be a nice place to meet arttoday and indivisuell in Summer. Yes, it is! But you have to walk approx. 2-3 kilometers, because there is no road for cars. So I think it's a good place if the weather will be good.

The age of the compact music cassette is ending. In 2010 the production of mc's stopped in Germany. The label EUROPA won't distribute mc's any longer, excluding those for collectors. (The Three Investigators).

 

I stole the headline "Time to say Tschüß" from the wonderful Lassie Singers. Thank you.
