"Bring me the two most precious things in the city," said God to one of his angels.
And the angel brought Him the leaden heart and the dead bird.
"You have rightly chosen," said God, "for in my garden of Paradise this little bird shall sing, for evermore, and in my city of gold the Happy Prince shall praise me."
- Oscar Wilde from his mini fairy tale "The Happy Prince"
One of my favorites :)

Thanks for looking!
The theme for the May Challenge on The Sketchbook Challenge blog is "Can't Resist" - using resists or journalling about something irresistible or both. After a bit of experimenting with resists (see here), I decided to write a list of things I can’t resist – just a small selection, as there are a lot of things which I am not good at resisting.
I used a white Crayola crayon (title and left column) and a clear Sakura Glaze pen (list and right) for my resists, and Neocolor II for the colours. The Crayola didn’t work as well as I’d hoped, though it is more visible in real life, so I tried outlining the title using a white Uniball Signo pen and that helped.
18.3.2020: I just realized how difficult it is for parents to reconcile children and work at the moment. In fact, it is not possible if employers do not react accommodatingly, because in summer at the latest everything falls back to them when parents have used up their annual leave but the children still have summer holidays. Scenarios of abandoned children and parents who offer the hardest currency currently available as payment for childcare have sprung up in my head: TOILETPAPER!

18.3.2020: Ich bekomme gerade mit, wie schwierig es derzeit für Eltern ist, die Kinder und die Arbeit unter einen Hut zu bekommen. De facto geht es nicht, wenn Arbeitgeber nicht kulant reagieren, denn spätestens im Sommer fällt ihnen alles auf die Füße, wenn Eltern ihren Jahresurlaub aufgebraucht haben, die Kinder aber trotzdem Sommerferien haben. In meinem Kopf entstanden Szenarien von ausgesetzten Kindern und Eltern, die als Bezahlung für die Kinderbetreuung die derzeit härteste Währung bieten: KLOPAPIER!

Picture of the pages inside my 2nd FTB journal. I used some scrapbook paper & old book pages but mostly watercolor paper and manila folders...
I'm blogging periodically about my FTB adventures (both journal & page construction) at my blog
This is a page in my "No-So-Blank-Journal-Project. 28 artists contributed 2 background pages each, which were then bound into journals.See details on the journal at rozwoundup.typepad.com/roz_wound_up/2013/02/mcba-visual-j....
I rarely get good fortunes in my fortune cookies, but I like this one. I dug it out of my purse yesterday and put it to use. I had about half hour before I needed to be in bed, so I just grabbed things without much thought from my art table. I had pre-painted the page. Believe it or not the justice statue and the vintage-vostatek were on the page of the old phone book that I'm using to glue on. The bottom is done with an eraser stamp that I used the sides of to stamp.
Was for my uni theme journal (my theme was gradation) but I ended up throwing this page out and doing something else. I used gouache paint for the branches :)
arm-chair journaling. can't sit in the studio or use my right arm much, so this entry was made on a pre-treated journal page with sharpies, colored pencils, and some stuff I had in my bag.
2/1/2021: The other day we wondered what would happen if we won the lottery and were suddenly millionaires. Since we had no idea how to accomplish this so quickly, we played the lottery. The time between submitting the lottery ticket and the drawing of the lottery numbers was great, because we already felt like millionaires. What can I say - we didn't win. But I will keep this moment and just feel like I am a millionaire every now and then. 😂

1.2.2021: Neulich fragten wir uns, was wäre, wenn wir im Lotto gewinnen würden und plötzlich Millionäre wären. Da wir keine Idee hatten, wie wir das so schnell bewerkstelligen sollen, spielten wir Lotto. Die Zeit zwischen der Lottoscheinabgabe und der Ziehung der Lottozahlen war klasse, denn wir fühlten uns bereits wie Millionäre. Was soll ich sagen - wir haben nicht gewonnen. Aber diesen Moment werde ich bewahren und mich dann und wann einfach so fühlen, als wäre ich Millionärin. 😂

191023: It's so nice to have colleagues in the office with whom you can laugh. A colleague had baked cupcakes (thanks, Tanja!). Annika ate her and noticed that they were crumbling. Then: silence. Shortly after, a sound. FFFFFFFP! I had to laugh spontaneously because I knew (without being able to see Annika) that she had absorbed the crumbs off the table.

Dann: Stille. Kurz darauf ein Geräusch. FFFFFFFP! Ich musste spontan lachen, weil ich (ohne Annika sehen zu können) wusste, dass sie die Krümel vom Tisch gesaugt hat.
