New ROD-pages

My ROD journal is being filled up, mostly with pictures of the snow we’ve got this winter. It has been an extraordinary winter for us here in Bergen. Usually we have some snow a week or two, the rest of the winter is dark, grey and WET. But this year the snow came at December 19. and it is still here!. At the most we had 63 cm snow on flatland (officially), in my garden it was more than 75 cm. We have not had this much snow since 1917 and 1918! But now it looks like the spring is comming, we haven’t had frost for several days, and the snow is melting every day. So there is still hope. Here are some of the pages in my ROD journal:

Wet crows don’t cry

My head has been filled with a llittle too much lately, and I’m trying to finish some of my projects so I can concentrate on new ideas. «Wet crows don’t cry» is the title on an altered book I’m working with. The title is from a tv-program I had the audio-design on some years ago. And after working with this program, I really started looking at the crows in a different way. Here are two pictures from the book:

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

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…
