green week day 3

Boy oh boy! My forehead is as wrinkled as the paper I'm
using for the origami and yet I still didn't manage to fold
it. The one I started last night was wrong. I didn't follow
the instruction step by step, so I had it wrong in my
memory *bad, bad,..* Now (I think) I get it, but it feels
like my fingers are to thick LOL Oh well, time to relax
a bit and try it from scratch again. I'm not giving up :)
My jacket is another story..



The jacket I've started to knit a while ago, isn't finished
yet. Remember I've opened up the old pattern? I've redone
the back part. The left front side is almost finished - I kept
miscounting, so it took me ages already *sigh* And now I
can't continue at the moment because of my toes.



Huch?? What do my toes have to do with the jacket you ask?
It's the wool. I can't have warm at the moment at any part
of my body or my toes will start to itch. So, I'm always a bit
freezing at the moment (luckily not getting cold though).
Can't wear my beloved woolen clothes or socks anymore :(

bed time story

No, it's not really.. ;)

I only decided to go to bed instead of folding, as I suddenly
remember the author's name of the beautiful book I saw in
the book store today. It was illustrated in B/W in boxes like
comics, but without any single words. It is The Arrival by
Shaun Tan. So, I just browsed through his website. I love
what he has written about originality and creativity.
His style on the book reminds me somehow of one of my fave
artists Quint Buchholz (oh, that I still need to frame his print!).

Shaun Tan is currently working on the animation film of his
book The Lost Thing. Here's an interview with him, produced
by inframe.tv (make sure, you look around on this Australian
based site too - it's full of interesting vodcasts!). I hope, the
film will be shown in German theaters too, once it's finished.



So, good night for now! Wishing you a sweet dream. Maybe
about some penguins watching opera, like in this book ^_^


Some Folk Think the South Pole's Hot.
Story by Elke Heidenreich, illustrated by Quint Buchholz.
