cut

At the end of last Thursday, I watched the DVD
Into Great Silence, a film about the Carthusian
Order. But I just couldn't really concentrate
myself on the movie - it's too quiet. So, I decided
to make another thing out of clay. It's a cut face
- like a mask - to hung on the wall.



In the morning my hair was cut too. Now I feel
like a school girl again ^_^

clay day

My son wanted to do pottery for a long time,
somehow we have never managed it though.
Yesterday we had invited a friend of my son
to play with clay, as we finally bought 10 kg
clay!


My son's creations (more photos).

First I only assisted them, when they needed
me. With toothpick, chopstick and cutlery they
made each 5 things. First some flat work, then
sculpturing and at last they even made mugs
(my son's friend decided to turn it into a bowl :)).

After they almost finished, I couldn't resist
any longer - my fingers were itching ^_^
Starting with no plan what to make, I finished
with a portrait of a woman. She won't be the
last of her art, I guess. It was so nice to start
sculpturing again after over 6-years break.

saying goodbye

I was really happy to see, that my favorite piece
of the new collection was sold yesterday, but
to part with it was not easy. So, I've made this
art card for my customer. The drawing and
stitching process was the process to say
goodbye internally. Afterwards I felt a lot easier
to take it to the post office. How sentimental I
was, uh? I really hope, my customer will love
the Time Machine as much as I do.

the notwist

The CD player in the B&M shop, where I work
part time, has it's own mind (sometimes it
refuses another CD, sometimes it needs weight,
sometimes it just works ...weird!). So we mostly
hear one single CD all day long, cause it's
annoying to try everything to get it work, if
customers are in the shop.



At the moment I love to hear the newest album
of The Notwist: The Devil, You+Me. You should
go to their website - so cool! Somehow it matches
my collection theme and it brings me back
to my study time, where my friends and I often
played with Flash :)

Oh, another funny thing.. Nicole, an EST team
mate, just let me know a few days ago, that
faden is an old word for the devil in Norwegian.
So, glasfaden means glass devil. Coincidence? ;)

contrast

My imagination is running wild lately. I've made
creations, which are not usually my style.
Weather is one of them (finally I could use my
long treasured supplies :D).



Cute? Last time I've made something cute was
surely 20 years ago!! I first doubt about listing
it in my shop, but I love it somehow. So I just
list it :) But then it's such a contrast to the
Time Machine, which is for the last week
challenge of the EuropeanStreetTeam SciFi,
hosted by Alecia.



I was thinking to make Weather as my entry
for this week challenge Think Men, which will
be hosted by Swedishjewels's girlfriend
Jealousydesign (This is what he told us about
the theme: It doesn’t need to be a thing for a
man. But it should be something that a man/
boy appreciates). But I'm not sure, either it's
the right one. Would a girl be happy to receive
this from her boyfriend or would she be hurt,
cause it's kind of saying "you are so moody like
the weather" and give him a slap in the face??
I must be a cynic to put this as an entry :P

And... pssst.. let me tell you this crazy creation
won't be the last! My crazy minds took over
the control of my hands at the moment ;)
