A collaboration between Oskar and me - a castle and its residents:
a knight and a maiden, her chair, a fire (cause it was very cold in
these old castles), a basket with blackberries and a bear. He is used
to accompany the maiden while looking for berries in the forest.
They all love to have paintings in the castle.
The castle's name is "Meisenknoedel" = "titmouse dumpling"
Brian Dettmer: Book Autopsies, thanks Ariel for this super link!

what we had for lunch today: salmon and carrots with almonds and
rosemary, mustard sauce and spaghetti. Was so good!
Did like the little discussion about blogging in the comments.
To specify again: I' wasn't talking about comments on every post you
read! Who could do this? But it's nice to know a bit my readers and
I'm VERY happy to have met those, who leave comments.
j, you are perhaps right. Before I had a blog, I didn't comment too.
But now being in this blogging routine, I know how glad a comment
makes me and I appreciate this kind of communication.

just an idea of blue)
Did get a wonderful award from Andrea, thank you so much!!!
The "You make my day-Award" , the rules are:
1. Write a post with links to 5 blogs that make me think and/or make
my day.
2. Acknowledge the post of the award giver.
3. Display the "You Make my Day Award" logo with a link to the post
that I wrote. (Optional)
4. Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their
blogs with the news.
Like probably everybody who did get this award I was wondering which
blogs to choose. There are lots and lots of fantastic blogs.
A hard decision.
To begin with the start: the first blog I ever read was the one from
Karin Eriksson, this was in March '07. It opened up a universe of
creativity to me. little birds made me want to have a blog myself and
Camilla's blog is some sort of blogging epicentre for me.
Now here the ones I want to give the award to:
+ book by its cover
+ fine little day
+ una merienda, por favor
+ Liivian Talossa
and recently found:
+ Roberta Gorni
smosch has asked some questions on her blog to meet her readers,
a very good idea, I think. Seems she asked the right questions, cause
she did get many many answers.Since I started blogging I'm always
asking myself who are the people who don't leave a comment, but come
here to read what I'm upto. I enjoy the comments on my blog very much
and think blogging isn't a one-way street :)
A wonderful book.
picking pics.
There is a list of books I want to buy or even think I need to buy.
The list is getting longer and longer. Some of them:
Sara Fanelli: Pinocchio
Wolf Kahn's America ( the cover is hypnotic for me )
Marie des Brebis: Der reiche Klang des einfachen Lebens
The last title means translated "The rich sound of the simple life"
It's about a French woman, a shepherd. Right before she dies she tells
the story of her life to a writer, Christian Signol, and he wrote this
biography.
At the moment I'm reading this again.
Which book are you going to buy next?
A woman in front of her house.
And how our strawberries look at the moment.
Slow
Slow
and quiet.
Found this interesting blog today: Hi and Low, thanks Kristi for the link.
Interview with Stephanie Congdon Barnes on sfgirlbybay.
Came across wonderful polaroids of trees and power lines on
sculptress studio.
Wish you a slow and quiet Sunday.
In my favourite restaurant yesterday evening.
Tagged by Else:
"I would love to see your favourite workplace (photos or drawing):
I mind where you fill like to create, dream, draw or whatever you like
to do....!"
That's a good question, Else.
Voila:
For me it's not one single place.
The photo on the top is the work table in my workshop, where I make
my jewellery. Very important is this old radio for me. It has nothing of
the modern comfort and it sounds quite bad, but I love it!
The second photo is in the workshop as well. The place on the floor
next to the wood stove is a great drawing place. Normally I'm not
so absolutely addicted to working on the floor. And I use very often the
desk in our kitchen, but it's very nice warm next to the stove at the
moment. Working on the floor has the big advantage that it's more
easy to find an empty area than on any table, cause I'm a terrible
messy.
Without photo, but necessary for creativity, is my bed. Right before
I fall asleep at night there come the ideas, so you can say, it's the
most creative place.
Yes, and again I want to make a new tag:
"Show me a special something (if you like),
some thing that is important or beautiful or meaningful or full of
memories for you - or all of that - and tell me about it."
As you perhaps may have noticed, Kristi and I are collaborating
on a power lines project. There will be now and then a post from me
on her blog, as it was last week, and from her on my blog,
the first one today.
Inspired by a photo from me, she made a drawing and wrote a little
story.
"At times she felt like there was a surging of some strange energy
within her. It made her nose itch because of the strange pulsing
sensation it produced. It was at these times that she felt the only
place where she belonged was tangled in the overhead power lines."
Thank you Kristi :)
Love the elephant-pants Line made for her son.
And I'm going to buy this book.
