little piece no. 19

Wish more of my pieces would look like this one.

I did this cd cover for a friend of mine. the cd includes mainly wave-bands like siouxie and the banshees, bauhaus, wire and so on....
I'm fascinated everytime how a simple image out of a magazine can end up like this.

I wanted to have a checked dress and wasn't able to find one I liked, so yesterday I sewed one out of a very very big men's shirt. It was a big trial and error and in the end it isn't perfect due to my impatience, but i like it anyway and think it turned out nicely, especially as I didn't have a pattern.

i really love this one 'cause it turned out the way I wanted it to....it's made of a lot of layers of different colours like crayons, watercolour, acrylic paint, biro, coloured pencils, pieces of fibre I used for the pullover I showed before, a photoshop-edited and afterwards painted picture, felt tip, gesso (my new obsession) and old magazines. unfortunately, I wasn't able to scan it proper.
I did a lot of personal pieces the last weeks, getting away from the thought that things should always look beautufilly, resulting in a lot of pieces really capturing what's going on inside me but which I dind't want to share.
and by the way, this is the first book I did by myself with the help of this tutorial.

I took some inspiration from the internet and startet to record the day...or rather, I did the first one yesterday and plan to keep on...
I think it's a great way to create a little memory of the day, even when the day brought nothing special. But today it will, because I'm going to have dinner with my mary! (you see, I cheated a little bit today and did the record before the day even ended....).It's a little thing you can do by the way to blow off some of your creative energy without searching too long through magazines for the exactly right picture like I do for my other collages.
I used another little book by the "insel-bibliothek", like I did for most collages I showed around here.
This is the record I did for today, as it provides nothing catchy I share this one but not the one I did yesterday- yesterday I added a picture from my boyfriend and I'm not sure if he wants to find himself this way in the internet....

This morning something really strange but beautifull happened.
Through one of the wholes of my shutter the crossroad the house I'm living in is lying at was projected at my room ceiling. I could watch the cars drive by and people crossing the streets while lying in my bed- and all in colour! best to see were the red and yellow cars, but actally, most people seem to drive boring cars in white or shades of grey.
I think it must have been working like a pinhole camera.
I tried to catch it with my camera but it didn't really work. You only can vaguely discern the schemes. The only thing which can be clearly recognised is the white medial strip.
I decided to post it anyway, because I was so fascinated.
Have you ever experienced something like that?
Let me know!

waiting for time to go by...

and on the other hand the feeling to have no time at all- it's been quite some days I did the last post.
and yes, i looked at Wolf Erlbruch's books over and over again...if anyone knows the books (do you?) it's obvious where my inspiration came from.
Oh and I got some help from my rats, I did this little piece while sitting in their playing area. They helped by carrying and hiding everything away, they especially like pencils and rubbers.
