The white rabbit and the flying sheeps

Just a quick post to show two big fat journals I had a lot of fun doing :)

Apart from working, not much happens in my life at the moment. It’s the fault of Babylon 5. I got all five seasons on DVD and - yeah - that’s what I’m doing in my free time at the moment. We are at season 3 now …  Oh my.. what will I do when we finished it????

Art Nouveau

My entry for this weeks “Art Nouveau” challenge. See the other entries here!

These challenges are really inspiring and funny. When I started it last summer, I did not think that it would last long but … little did I know. I’m happy to see that all the EST girls (and the occasional boy) keep it going and going.

And something completely different … I re- found my old Moleskine sketchbooks. I’ve seen Moleskine covers and pouches on Etsy and Dawanda already. Think I’ll try that too…

Buttons

Look what nice buttons I had in my mail today!

Petronella (the Queen of Buttons) recently showed me a listing for even more beautiful buttons on Ebay. The auction is still running so I looked around and found these nice ones in the meantime. Shopping for supplies on Ebay is really tempting. Don’t know why I did not use it much earlier. The buttons came from Austria, but I’m expecting some more deliveries from all over the world soon …

So - to justify that I really need all that stuff, I made a button journal. Looks good, don’t you think?

Sometimes…

.. I feel the strong urge to use a lot of colors. And the painting part is so much fun with this sort of journals. In fact, so much more fun that I often wish I could afford to hire someone to do the sewing part for me.  But well, I think I said that already :)

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

That’s the new European street team challenge theme. Heli is the one who challenged us. I had so many ideas … but lazy as I am, I went for the one that was the most easiest to do :)

The big canvas

That’s how it looks at the moment. I don’t think it’s finished. I don’t even know wether it stays like that at all …
