Tegning Inspirert av en Deep Purple låt

Hei og velkommen, det er meg igjen.

Jeg ble så grådig inspirert av den nydelige låten av Deep Purple, Soldier of Fortune at jeg var nødt til å tegne en vindmølle. Hvorfor ikke, liksom, hvorfor ikke vindmølle? 😊

Jeg synes vindmøller er vakre. Både de litt gammeldagse whimsy og de moderne høye tynne. Vindmøllen min måtte jo ha masse farge. Jeg elsker jo farger. Så etter å ha tegnet den først med blyant, deretter en sort penn, tok jeg frem Dina Wakley's Scribble Sticks og en pensel og ga farge til vindmøllen min. Dernest ble det litt doodling med Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens i de samme koordinerende farger.

Ved siden av vindmøllen har jeg skrevet litt av teksten til Soldier of Fortune;

I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day

When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
"Come lay with me and love me"
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune

Hmmm…..tegne flere vindmøller? Tja, hvorfor ikke?

Tusen takk for at du besøkte bloggen min i dag. Håper at du kommer innom ved en senere anledning også.

Ønsker deg en vakker dag.

Klem, Anita

The Madonna from Norway - a different art journal spread

Hello and welcome

Today I want to show you a art journal page I did for the Challenge at Aall and Create.
The 1. Challenge is Europe and this is my interpretation of this Challenge:

The base is the Norwegian very well-known artist, Edvard Munch. I have some texture in the background with white texture paste and a stencil, then I draw the Madonna of Edvard Munch on a pre painted paper, and glued her down on my art journal page. For this I use a pencil and the Stabilo all pencil.

I tore some pages out of my French-Norwegian dictionary and glued them down. Some mark making with pencil. Stamped the numbers 1894 and 1895 as are the years Munch used to paint Madonna. And therefore the blue thread that goes through the different elements. My hole pages elements is connected to each others.

AALL and Create: ITAC'17 - Challenge 1 Europe

A face - Madonna

Papers - The drawing and book page

Letters, numbers - Number Stamp (the year of the original painting)

Blue for the colour of the European Union, Union Jack - Blues & Greens

Ribbon, twine, string or lace - Blue Embroidery thread

Textures – take inspiration from history from ancient civilisations to the fall of the Berlin Wall - Texture with Modelig paste and stencil

Something both vintage and modern - Vintage Madonna with Modern drawing

Thank you for visiting.

Time to tango on the dark side

Hello and welcome

Today I am on the dark side of the moon, whoooaaahahaa.... Well, almost. I discovered this cool blog, Dream in Darkness, after a tip from my good friend and co-conspirator, Bibi (owner of Rubber Dance), and I just felt it right away; I have to participate in this cool shallenge, so to make a long story short, here is my contribution:

Of course I've used Rubber Dance stamps! A lot! ☺

Below you will find a list of links of the stamps I've used:

- Mushrooms

- Collage Elements I
- Collage Mix
- Vintage Script
- Sarcastic Superpower

Excluding Rubber Dance stamps I have used Archival ink and gesso and white and black pen. Here is some details:

Who is smiling? Creepy!..

Karma has no deadline

With this strange and slightly dark side (black Art Journal page) I join in the month Challenge over at Dream in Darkness - Time to tango With Rubber Dance.

This was fun! ☺

A colorful wooden box with dragonflies

Hello my creative friends ☺

Skriv inn en tekst eller en nettadresse, eller oversett et dokument.

Avbryt

Viser oversettelse for Jeg lovet dere forrige uke at jeg skulle komme tilbake

Oversett heller fra Jeg lovet dere forrige uke at jeg skulle komme til

I promised you last week i my blog post that I would come back and show you something I was doing these days and which I think was absolutely beautiful and here it is: DADAAAA!! ☺

It's a wooden box in the size of 40 cm X 30 cm I first painted the box with white acrylic paint then I build layers by layers with several colours using my fingers, baby wipe and stencils until I get the results that I wanted. When I was happy with the results I drew the dragonflies with black Posca Pen. Then I used a baby wipe and my fingers dipped in gesso, some pink and some turquoise acrylic paint and painted around the dragonflies.

I must admit that I was inspired by the great artist Nika Rouss (nikainwonderland) when I made this.
I thought it became absolutly georgeous. What do you think?

Sometimes I think it's nice to paint other than just canvas and Art Journal, etc.

Here is some details:

I hope you have a wonderfull day!
I will soon come back, don't go away.

My thoughts - My Art Journal - Always kiss me goodnight

Always kiss me goodnight

Sometimes when the days are the darkest, I'm very happy that I have my hobby, and that I am an art journalist. Then I disappear into my room and Paint, Stamp and draw me a better day. I can express my feelings through the art and do not have to relate to people who may not understand and just makes my day worse....

I have a disease that is very difficult to understand. Even for me. I was told to live with it and not fight it. It is very difficult, but I try. I realy try.

This page I made yesterday when I suddenly came to think that; I want to be loved, I want to be useful and not least I want to live. This was the result of my thoughts yesterday:

Always kiss me goodnight

It's a Norwegian proverb that says: "Elsk meg når jeg fortjener det minst, det er da jeg trenger det mest". And that is soooo true.

I wish you a very nice weekend and I hope you soon will come back.

Please leave me a comment - I very much appreciate it! ♥ Take care!

Hugs, Anita
