It’s Monday. The start of another long week in the office. But the weather is beautiful warm and sunny and it makes me happy. I hope it stays like this until spring 🙂 Here is the Black Book entry from yesterday: I am totally in love with this circular pattern on the outer part! This […]

Black Book Update
It’s a beautiful Saturday here and another entry into my Black Book: Of course if the photo is made in natural light, the shimmer from metallic pens is gone. Here is a close-up made in artificial light: Actually I made another one today, but I could not make a photo because it’s already getting dark, […]

Frozen
It’s raining. It’s been raining for two days. I am confused. I have too many things to do. I do not feel like doing anything. I am tired. I do not know what to do. That summarizes it. This one I worked on during our company retreat: The retreat went well, but left me exhausted. […]

Dots…

Blooming
Another update from the Black Book: These things are hard to photograph… I applied a filter on IG so it looks quite ok. I remember my frustration with this from January.

Black Book Mandala
I finished this yesterday but was too busy to post. I really enjoyed creating this one. Love all those little dots and it being hand drawn and not symmetrical. I am thinking about turning this one into line art and making it available for coloring. Let me think some more…

Framed
I rarely frame my works. Mostly they are anyway done in books, meaning there is always another painting on the back side. The Black Book is different. Because of shimmery stuff, embossing and raised paint I didn’t do another piece in the back, so it was easy to just tear it out and take it […]
