time and boredom / zeit und langeweile

Hello everyone,

the Art Journal Journey's theme TIME made me think about my boredom diary I used to have, so I got it back out an thought about time again.

When I think about time these days I usually think about not having enough of it. Not enough time to paint, create and whatever else keeps popping up in my head.

But there were other times in my life. Obviously in 2003 I was so bored, I started my boredom diary:




Maybe someday - when the time is right - I will make a big collage out of it!
Hope you didn't get bored ;)

Flowers II

And here as promised more Flowers for the Mix it Monthly Challenge




 For this first one I used a background that I prepared with blue lino ink. I used some handmade paper to create the flowers and later on I stamped and drew over the page at bit. It is still quite reduced, but I do like it like that.

And then I did this page when I was drawing with my little daughter....





Take a look at what my little daughter did, after she made me give her a journal just like mine :)

Thank you very much for stopping by and please leave a comment!

Flowers I

Hello there,

I can't believe I haven't been writing since May!!!! My life was quite busy lately - I went to Greece with my students and once our school year was over, went on a vacation with my family. With kids at home and my husband working there really wasn't much time to draw. But now I am back.

I actually did two water color paintings on my birthday:

I really wanted to do some flowers for:

Mix it Monthly:   August / September Mixed Media Flowers

 but then I saw a swan on my paper....


I also did some zentangle flowers, which my 7 year-old daughter wanted to color....




And I made a sheep for my son:
and a cat for my daughter!



and those for my mother in law.....
so I wasn't too lazy after all.

Have a nice week and more flowers soon!
