I often get the feeling that things move too slowly. That I don't do enough, and if I did I would still be stuck. I want words and pictures to constantly whirl around me, I want to finish writing one book a week and read five and bind ten and do fun creative work for other people while I'm at it. Just before the weekend I felt really stuck but I forgot I do things the way explosions work. Good explosions, that is. I whined and moped and didn't get started until 6 p.m. but I worked until 1.30 and suddenly found myself with eight collages that I really like.
Jag har ofta känslan av att det går för långsamt. Att jag inte gör tillräckligt och om jag gjorde det skulle det fortfarande inte hända tillräckligt mycket. Jag vill att ord och bilder flyger omkring mig i luften hela tiden; jag vill skriva en bok i veckan och läsa fem och binda tio och jobba med roliga, kreativa saker åt andra samtidigt. Precis före helgen kände jag mig otroligt seg, som att jag satt fast, men då glömde jag att jag funkar ungefär som en bra sorts explosion. Jag gnällde och surade och började inte med något förrän kl. 18 men jobbade på till halv två och hade då åtta collage som jag verkligen gillar.
The first one was done completely by hand; second one has a digitally layered vintage envelope on top. Which do you like the most? / Det första är helt handgjort; det andra har ett digitalt pålagt kuvert överst. Vilket gillar du bäst?
So, what are you doing today? / Vad har du gjort idag?

lovely pictures, sweetie! and i sometimes have the same feeling as you. but i love feeling it, it makes me feel as if i have time to do everything!
trade links?
Oh I get that feeling too! I often use symbols in my work to signify that feeling. Lovely pieces.
I love them both. If I had to choose, and since you asked (!) I like the first one best because of the beauty of its simplicity. Both pieces are a piece of feminine beauty, as are the others that poured out of you during your creative time:))
Superfina! jag gillar den första bäst :) i dag har jag gått i snöyra...
Thank you thank you :)
great collages!!
I just found your blog and visited today for the first time. I'm so glad I did! I'm going to add you to my blog roll right now because I think you are a kindred spirit, and I am inspired by your art and writing.
Love,

P. s. I adore the tiny "fanciful" mushroom you bought.
Wow, they're all amazing and I loved your comment on my blog! I hate how people judge other people's behavior!
I think that's just typical for an artist or every creative person, that we don't work 'on command' but when we feel inspired!
The collages are wonderful! I like the first the most. I like the fragility in your work.
jag gillar den första bäst! den är otroöigt vacker! Så fint du har använt löven till vingar, super !!!
Sono bellissimi!
What you can't see in online is the texture, the richness that the hand done work gives you. I enjoy small collage work and the layers are what make it special.
