A lovely Suterday..♥

Last Saturday was a really nice and cozy day..
My mum took mw with her and bought me a beautiful lamp. I love it so much. I also bought a 60's dress to wear at the last day of school before summer, a long dress from the 70's, a brown knitted sweater that makes me think of the autumn, another long glittery dress and a nice couple of pink heels from the 70's or 80's. Then we went to our summerhouse and picked up an old ''armchair'' that's been in our family for ages. 

Then I met Denise and I Colored her hair and eyebrows. We drank a lots of orange-tea, listened to old music at my old gramophone player and painted our nails. We wer talikng almost the whole night about our lifes, reading old novels from the 60's and 70's out loud for each other and discussed important things. We wer listening to Bruce Springsteen while we were thinking about the lovely Danny Jones...

I had a lovely time and I really hope that you guys had a great time as well..♥

Tip NO. 9.2

Hello guys! :D
Fiste of all, yesterday I actually got this idea that I should had showned you guys how to do the screen printing tip in photos step by step. And the I got this really nice coment from a noice reander who aked me of I couldn't do it in thet way in the future. I don't think it's more that right to show you guys the tip, step by step. That's why we have Tip NO. 9.2 ;) So here it comes!

Step1.
This is the things you will need.
 A paper knife (or just ue a knife as I did)
 A thicker pad
 A sponge (you can just take one of thoes you use when you wash your dishes)
 Any kind of paint (I used watercolor)
 Two paper
 A photo or a sketch


Step 2.
I printed out a photo of the eart and decided to cut out the oceans with the knife. But now afterward, I actually think it would have looked better if I had cut out the all the continents instead.

Step 3.
It's now time to decide how much I should cut out. I leav the things I know that I'am not going to be able to cut out nicely. That's only because I don't want it to look weird. 

Step 4.
When I think I'am done, I decide where on the paper I wanna put it.

Step 5.
I take the sponge and dipping it into the water.

Step 6.
It's now time to decide which color you wanna use. I chosed to use blue so I colored the sponge with blue watercolor.

Step 7.
Before I start ''Paint'' I check out the color on a nother paper. Something you have to be careful with that I didn't even given much thought to this time, is that the sponge isn't too wet.

Step 8.
Now carfully remove the photo.

Step 9.
Now it's time to and that lines and smal ''lakes'' in this case to the painting.

Step 10.
Now it's done!


Okay, like I said before, I should have cut out the continents instead. And I should have make sure that the sponge wasn't so wet. I'm not that hapy with the result but I really hope that ypu guys will understand better this time! :)


I'am going to try to explain a little bit more! ;)
S you can see, The photo of Twiggy is easyer to know what to cut out from the photo. All of the shadows and dark parts of her face. If you still don't understand me, !'am sorry. But I cant explain anymore! :/♥

Tip NO. 9

I know It's a lot about Twiggy, but this photo is a good exampel.
This is tip is about my last post. Yeas, it's about making how to mane your own screen printing. Remember, I have only done this thing once, but I just found it so fun and nice to do. I just wanna share it with you guys!♥

This is what you will need:
A paper knife (or just ue a knife as I did)
A thicker pad
A sponge (you can just take one of thoes you use when you wash your dishes)
Any kind of paint (I used watercolor)
 Two paper
A photo or a sketch

This is how I did:
I started with printing out a photo of Twiggy from my computer.
Then I put the photo on my pad that I have to protect the table when I paint or whatever I do.
Then I started to cut off the dark parts of the photo.Be careful with the knife.
I was careful so that ewerything stil was put together. (not the parts that I had cut 0of but everything else)
When I was done, I put the photo that now was the pattern, on the top of one of the with papers where I wanted it to be..
Then I dipped the sponge into water and put on the black watercolor.
Then I first tested the color at the other paper befot I started to ''Stamp'' the photo. You have to be sure that the photo isn't moving.
When I was done and I couldn't see the paper under anymore I lifted of the photo. And there it was! :)
The last thing I did was to and smal stripes under her eyes as eyelashes.
Then You're Done! :D

The reason why I chosed to use a sponge was because I like how the colors ends up. What I mean is taht it's not the same as if you was painting. The colors doesn't end up beeing as strong everywere. Do you know what I mean? However, I think you culd use any technique you want to and the color.

I hope you understanded and that you will find it as nice as I did. And I also hopes that you don't cut yourself on at knife! So be careful and have fun! ☺

Twiggy♥

''Time to see the world and get up out of this bed.'' ♥
I was supose to make a post and show you one/two of the sketches I did few days ago... but then I realized that they was just to messy. You couldn't see what it was... It was just sketches that I had destroyed.. by painting my all weird feelings on them...it's not a pretty sight.. I mean, you would just get really confused! Believe me.

Anyway,
I did this screen printing-thinging yeasterday! :D as some of you guys know, I really love Twiggy! She is so beautiful and.. and.. we're not talking about why I like Twiggy right now.... Back to the sketch/painting-thinging.

I wanted to try out some thing new. So, I tried a theory I had about how it would work to do a screen printing! And I have to say that I think it ended up pretty well. I'am sure you guys will see more of thoes kind of things on my blog in the future.

People are strange when you're a stranger, Faces look ugly when you're alone...

What is art for you?

I have cleand every little smal space of my room thoes two last days. Every coner and every shelf. Even if you can't see it when you come in to my room, because of all my things, I promise you.. It's CLEAN! I have reorganized my wardrobe, my bookshelf, all of my painting things, all of my sketches and all the things on my shelfs.I hate to clean. I really do hate it. So, why did I clean for two days? The reason why was that I was aloud to have my mum's old gramophone player in my room! :D.. IF, I cleaned my room and found a spot where I could put it.

The gramophone player is standing in my room and I have been going through my parents record collection. I found a lots of great records. The DOORS, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatels, Pink Floyd, Blues Brothers, Rolling Stones and much, much more. That's art for me.

Art can be a lots of things. And in this case, I think old music and vinyl records are some kind of art. At least for me..

''We're on a mission from God.''

Is it only me or is the time actually playing hide and seak with us?
Today was a beautiful day. It was actually the first time the sun was shining on me now for a few days. The reason why I haven't been blogging is that I don't find the thing's I have drawed that intresting to write about. My inspiration have been the rain and the grey weather, but how many of thoes photos and sketches haven't I already shown you?

I want more color now!
I found thoes old jewelrys in a cute little shrine in our basement today. All of the jewelrys have belonged to my mum when she was younger, except from the big golden ring. It was my dad's old ring. It's the perfect (but a little to big) thumb ring.

Thoes jewelrys make me think of two old beautiful movies. ''Private Benjamin'' and ''Blues Brothers''.

The old ear rings make me think of young Goldie Hawn in the role as Judy Benjamin. I really lov thet movie.

As you may understan then, the golden ring makes me think about thoes handsome brothers. The only thin I can say about them is ''We're on a mission from God.''

LO(ST)VE

It's raining. The colors are wrong at the sky.
This painting/sketch I have made and forgot to sign, reflects my inspiration right at the moment. Here where I live in Sweden, doese the sky cry in pain. I get angry from time to time when people are intruding on my private bubble. I don't like when people comes too close, you shouldn't be so close that you could simply treading on my toes. Give me some space some times, okay? Thank you.

This sketch may seem really boring to you, but I don't see the boring in it. It took about 3 minutes to make it and so what? Just because it didn't took that long time to make it or that it is really simpel to make, it doesn't tell you a story.

This is how I feel about painting.
You don't have any rules to follow, only your own head and heart.So lets go creative and mix up all kind of techniques and show your soul on the paper or what ever you chose to make it on! :)♥ 


And yes, my English sucks, I know that already! But the thing is that I'am actually trying.. and that's all that really matters!

The Animal Inside You♥

This is my new sketch called ''The Animal Inside You''. Like I have told you earlier, I have made a promise to myself. A promise that I should practice on drawing humans. So I have now started. I still can't draw any faces... and because of that, the horse head. I really like to combining humanbodys with animals. It's something innocent and beautiful over it.

I'm sorry that the colors are so rainy, but that's how the weather is right now here where I live in Sweden. If the weather is rainy I feel rainy and so do my sketches.

I don't know if you all know that I have been going horseback riding for 9 years (!!) ? But now you know^^ However, I found out this autumn that I was allergic to horses.. actually pretty much allergic to them. So I'am now taking a break from it for a while.

You like to do it as a child on your own, you're in the jungle and the monkeys take your mind from your home...

Hi everyone! :D Today am I really happy^^
I had planed to make a new sketch but I didn't find the time.. :/ I have made a mini-sketch of the sketch that I'm gonna make as soon as possible so I can post it as soon as possible!

As you may see, I have colored my highlights one more time! :D and now they're really lightblue, if you ask me. I'am so happy with it!

I have never felt so pampered when I have been at the hairdresser, in my whole life! I had two hairdresser that was working with my hair at the same time^^ It looked so fun in the mirrow. Bout of them was brushing, coloring, drying and flating my hair. So I had one hairdresser on one side and the other one on the other, doing the exactly same thing.

Drama, lies, tears. Cheeres to teenage years.

Sometimes it's really hard to be a teenager.
It can be really depressing and ugly. It can be just like any other day or like a living hell. To be a teenager is really hard. To be someone you don't know. I can only speak for myself, but I'am quite sure some of you know what I mean. 

So much pressure, so much hate, so much love, so much sadness,so much doubt, so much more fragile, so many unanswered feelings, too many feelings, too many times when you don't know what to do and to much lonelyness. I got two words for you, Fuck. it.

Your life don't nessesury need to be like a teenage movie. Hell no. My life isn't like one in a movie. If I was living a life in a typical teenage movie I would be either the popular hot bitch or the ugly bullied lonely duckling that we would see later in the movie get a makeover. Everyone would after that see that she is the moust beautiful girl they ever seen, she would get the hot Quarterback when he leavs the popular meen girl for her. The hot bitch would get together with his best friend that have been crushing one her for years! End of story!

Fuck it. That's not reallity! Hell no.

The reallity can be really ugly, you know. Maybe your life is perfect, the I'm truly happy for you. You're like, one out of a milion. Feel special!

Everyone has their own problems. I have mine, you have yours. Maybe you have problems that the society finds more important. But I have problems too! and they are freaking hard for me to live with!! isn't that just as important as eveyone elses problems? or maybe it's in the other way... 

Some days I'am just sad in my heart.

'Cause it's strong, and it has taking me over, over I am lost and I need to be found...♥

I can hear steps.
THE steps.
They are coming closer.
I don't know what to do.
Am I suppose to dance to the music?

I made this sketch this morning when I woke up. I felt that I needed to start drawing humans in one way or another. Now. I saw an old sketch on my wall that looked like an monster that was coming up from the shadows. Then I knew how I wanted it to be. And this is the result.

Dont look back all youll ever get is the dust from the steps before...

I had a lovely Saturday.
It was a beautiful and sunny day and I had a lots of fun. First of all I met up with Frida.Then we went to a secondhand and bought a few beautiful things. Then we whent home to her and made some tea.

We drank a really good green chai tea that tasted like my cinnamon tea and ate Digestive biscuits^^ I really liked her teacups. I would really like to buy a Tea Set with smal pretty roses that I can use when I invite my friends over for a cup of tea.

After that we saw a great movie with Klara.
Frida ♥
