My new sketchbook

I’ve been making myself a new Sketchbook, filling it with many kinds of paper. My youngest daughter fell in love with it imediately and ordered one for herself.

On the covers, I’ve used Silk paper I made some weeks ago. On the front, I’ve laminated in a leaf from a plant from my garden,

and on the back, I’ve tried to use some golden flakes:

I’m really satisfied with the result, and it was fun making it too.

Journal pages and a new ribbon

I’m doing my best filling my «Remains of the day»-journal. And at last I managed to get some pictures. I try to fill it with my ordinary day, and it has made me pick up booklets as I go, take care of ticets etc. And put them in my journal. Here are two of my pages:

This week I also threaded my tablets and started a new ribbon, with a pattern of hearts in pink and green. It is fascinating to see how the threads forms the pattern as I turn the tablets. I use 20 tablets in this ribbon:  

   

and here is a closer view:

«Christmas is over» and journal is finished!

My «Remains of the day»-journal is finished. Well it has been for some time, but I have a picture first now. On the front I’v used some fabric marked with Markal Paintstiks, the flower is a fabric from the 60’s appliqued on, and the ribbon also is something I’ve just put aside sometime… I’ve quilted it very simple, in fact I prefer things being simple. Otherwise it just get too messy for me…

On wednesday I also at last managed to take down the Christmas decoration from my balcony. It had been covered with snow and ice until we at last got som mild weather with rain. Well for one day, until it started snowing again. And with more frost. This winter has been quite extraordinary, usually we have a week with snow at the most, this year we’ve had it since December 19th. Here you can see it in a pile on the floor drying up from the rain we had.

At last

I’ve finally had time to get started with my blog. Winter is rather hard here in Bergen, Norway this year. The snow came on Desember 19th, and since then it’s been frost, and more snow. And more frost. The result is heavy pollution, we have the highest results in Europe, nothing to be proud about. Here is no wind so all the pollution is laying safely in the valley between the mountains.
I’m also trying to arouse my creativity after the Christmas break. I have many loose ideas, hopefully something will come out of it all…
