Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Hello there!

I wanted to wish you all a happy and healthy new year. I’ve started a new bullet journal for this next year and I wanted to show you a sneak peek from the first page. I am a nature lover so its natural for me to incorporate that in the journal. I’ve always been fascinated by birds so I gave them a place in my journal during a whole month.

I wish you all a good new year

Forever pumpkins

Forever pumpkins

Hi there!

Some weeks ago around Halloween my mother and I tried to make concrete pumpkins. I looked around the internet and found many different and similar ways on how to make these decorations. So we decided to use nylon socks and big rubber bands to create the shape of a pumpkin. We used acrylic paint to give them some color. I went for a more pastel look rather than very bright colors. The best thing with pumpkins made of concrete are that you can reuse them over and over again. If you get tiered of the color you can always repaint them. I really think this is a fun project to do by yourself or with someone else.

I wish you all a good evening, night, morning or day wherever you are on this planet.

Ice Cream Print

Standard

Hello there!

It’s been awhile since I’ve uploaded something so now I would like to show you what I’ve recently been working on. I’ve gotten a taste for fabric printing and stamp making. I wanted to making something for the summer so I created an Ice cream print.

I wish you all a good evening, night, morning, afternoon or day wherever you may be on this earth.

A study of bees, honeybees and bumblebees: part 1

Standard

Hello there!

I have started with a bigger study of bees and bumblebees in the shape of three paintings. Here are some close ups from this project. I used pencil to sketch the objects and then I went in with watercolor.

I wish you all a good evening, night, morning, afternoon or day wherever you may be on this earth.

Bees, Honeybees and Bumblebees

Hello there!

Now you can really feel autumn in the air and the leaves are shifting color swiftly. Even though I won’t focus on autumn and the cold today rather about summer and bees, all sorts of bees. I hope that I can show you some more of my upcoming project when I get further along. I am doing a study about bees and how important they are in nature and to us. So today I started with sketching some different species of bees.

Blue horse

Standard

Hi there! The snow has been gone for some days now and the signs of spring are getting more and more obvious. I have a light and colorful watercolor painting I made that has a spring feeling to it.  The painting is a somewhat different take on the traditional Swedish Dala horse (a wooden horse figurine from the province Dalarna,traditionally red) I usually take photos of my work process and it’s no different this time.

For this painting i used:

A pencil, for sketching

Eraser

Ink pen, for the outlines

Maskingfluid, to cover the parts I didnt want to be blue

Watercolor paint, winsor and Newton, schmincke

Watercolor Paper, The Langton Prestige

Watercolor paintbrush

I wish you all a good evening, night, morning, afternoon or day wherever you may be on this earth.

Easter eggs

Standard

Hello there!

The days are passing and you would expect it to be spring by now, but the snow keeps on making surprise visits. Its’s quite interesting to see the crocus a spring flower surounded by snow. The sun stays up a bit longer and its more bright now. So that has affected my work in a positive way, I have been and I am working on several watercolor paintings and also some clay things. I have been making some last minute clay easter decorations that I will show you here now.

I want to wish you all a happy Easter!

I hope you all have a nice evening, night, morning, afternoon or day wherever you may be in this world.
