Inspirations: Crow (Leipzig)



Oh yes, this one is a real macho crow guy! He was acting like the king of the parking space in front of the supermarket! 

And I have to admit, he is really a gorugeous one! 

I still have to grin when I see how he stands on top of the car and looked straight at the camera! ^^


Inspecting his kingdom....

My vintage eastern critter - playing with the rabbit



This is the leftover of a rabbit I cut out of an old book page. It was just per accident that I laid it on my "try-it-all" book cover. Doens't it look great? I took a picture and again: I played with all the photo editing features of picasa. Oh.... and no... I can't decide which one would be my favorite! I love them all! A little bit to late for eastern this year... but next year I will print some of the pictures in a high quality to make some cards out of them!

Inspirations: Crow (Leipzig)


I got her! Look at the feathers... isn't she beautiful?


But no crow likes to be photographed...

...they really all fly away as soon as they see a camera!

PS: If you wonder how it comes that I managed to post this frequently: I just found out that I can post in advance! Yes, everybody except me was already knowing and using this feature... and I even knew that it exist... but somehow I didn't really realized it ^^

Look at this beauty! A gray heron... 


And a snail still sleeping :)

For a boy... for a girl... and one for a friend...



This stamps I made for a friend. He wanted some stamps for his niece and nephew for christmas. For her everything connected to ballet and a princess... and for him all the things connected to farming. So here we go...! 

(the background of the ballet shoes I stamped with textured wall papers!)

Of course a farmhouse...


...and ballett shoes...!



...a dancer...



...and a crown...


...next to a John Deere...

(Yes, this is for the same boy who got this T-shirts!)


You see, the dancer can stay on her tiptoe...
...either with her hand going up or just dancing in a round...


...the stamps for the niece...


...and the ones chared...


...every farmhouse needs a little fence...


...and a tree...!



...and someone has to wake every one up in the morning...



...a tiny tractor stamp...


...all of the stamps can be combined...


...looks nicer with a cloud at the sky...


...a horse is liked by both!


...the measurement is in cm, so you can get an impresson how big (or rather small) the stamps are...



All of them together in one box... 

...yes, some of the stamps are really big ones!


This time my hand for some kind of size measurment ^^


The last stamp I show you was not for one of the kids but a friend if mine. 



You see the surface? This is not an effect I created by controlled carving... but by just cutting over the same space again and again! Love the effect, sometimes the best is not to be too controlled...

Visiting Lachafa in Münster





This blog entry is full of inspirations! 

At least for me but I hope you'll also find some inspirations. And please tell me, because Lachafa is my little (no not so little anymore) sister and I am just sooooo proud of her and her stuff (and ideas and creativity... okay, I guess you got my point ^^). But I think it is the in the rights of a big sister to be proud of her younger siblings :) (for my little brother search for tophino in my blog, he makes great music!).

Just have a look at this collar she made! With hundreds of tiny beads sewn on a piece of felt! And all what she said was: Oh, that was easy...


This are long paper pieces she pinned on her wall. Her plan is to change them from time to time to change the decoration in her room (she is a student now, sharing a flat). 


She cut a lino stamp and printed it on the paper. You see that only a quarter of the ornament is the real stamp.


She made a combination of a pillow and a plushy! 


You remember my polymer clay buttons? Take a closer look at the eyes of the whale! :)


This one is a crochet scarf... 


...you can just tighten it. But she told me just some days ago that she used the scarf as a skirt! 


Some pictures about Münster... 

Giant geckos (a Tokkee! I had some a few years ago! Love them :))...


...climbing up and down the houses.


The same time you can find miniature versions of the city...


...would all suit into the mouth of the gecko ^^



I always love this kind of facades...!


Lachafa :)


From every point of the city you can see steeples...

...but don't believe you could sue them as a help for orientaion. Way too many!

And she made me also a crochet cap like hers! (and will make me another one.. just a reminder sweetheart! ;))



You see the cages? Behave!


Yes... this one is frightening!


The light was just magical...


...and the ducks too cute ^^


Oh, every city needs water!


The street art Lachafa and I found... and the ruins of their train station I'll show you in another post :)
