Autumn

Jeg har bestandig hatt lyst til å holde på med Art journal,

og jeg har gått flere kurs for å lære..

Men jeg har aldri skjønt noe av det,

dette med att alt skal være så tilfeldig, bare "go-with-the-flow" liksom.

Men så oppdaget jeg Vicky, og det berømte lyset slo seg på!

Her var det virkelig noe jeg kunne relatere meg til,

og kunst i ordna forhold!

Digger det rått,

og koser meg masse, masse med min art journal og mixed media!!

************

I have always wanted to make Art journals,

and i have been to several classes to learn..

But i have never understod any of it.

That everything is random, and just go with the flow..

But then i discovered Vicky, and it just blew me away!

Here it was, something that i could relate to,

and art that i could understand!

I am so in love,

and i really enjoying my new discovery of art journals and mixed media!!

Min første side i Art journalen er laget for å hylle høsten.

Jeg elsker høsten!

Med den klare luften, vakre fargene og spesielt vårt vakre lønnetre i hagen :)

Teksten er ett sitat fra Emily Bronte ♥

***********

My first page in my Art journal is made to celebrate the autumn.

I love autumn!

With the crisp air, gorgeous colors and especially our wonderful maple tree in the garden :)

The quote is from Emily Bronte ♥

Og slik ble min første side :)

Åh, så gøy jeg hadde det med denne!!

Jeg har malt, brukt embossing paste, stensiler, klipt, tegnet og brukt stempler!

Alt jeg har lært opp igjennom i denne hobbyen, 

og alt i ordna forhold som jeg liker ;)

Fantastisk moro!!

*****************

And here is what my first page looks like :)

Oh, my i had so much fun making this!!

I have painted, used embossing paste, stencil, cut outs, draw and used rubberstamps!

All the things i have learned in my crafting these years, 

and all put together in a way that i like ;)

So much fun!!

Bladene er tegnet etter blader fra lønnetreet i hagen, så de skulle bli som de :)

Tegnet på akvarell papir, og deretter klipt ut og farget med distress puter.

Selve stammen til treet er ifra ett mønsterpapir fra Papirdesgn,

som jeg har brukt en stensil på, og distresset over :)

Soppene er ifra Bildmålarna, og de er fargelagt med Prisma fargeblyanter.

**************

The leafs are drawn after the mapleleafs from our garden, so they got the right look :)

Drawn on aquarell paper, cut out and then colored with distress ink pads.

The trunk is from a design paper from Papirdesign, 

i have used a stencil on it, and colored it with distress ink :)

The mushrooms are from Bildmålarna, and i have solored them with Prisma color pencils.

Ha en super tirsdag,

klem fra Maya

Gratulerer med dagen/happy birthday

I september fylte min mamma 60 år,

og i den anledningen lagde jeg en lenestol til henne :)

*************

In September my dear mother had her 60th Birthday,

and for that occasion i made her this chair box :)

Jeg brukte papirer fra Pion Design,

og strikket litt på noen små bambuspinner :)

Mamma er glad i å strikke, så synes det var en fin detalj å få med!

***********

I used papers from Pion Design,

and i knitted a little on some tiny bamboo sticks :)

My mother loves to knit, so i thought that details was perfect on her chair!

Gaven til mamma er en tur til Krakow i april neste år,

så derfor lagde jeg noen turistbøker til henne også ;)

**************

The gift for my mother is a trip to Krakow in April next year,

so i made her some tourist books too ;)

Her ser dere min lille strikking også ;)

******

Here you get a better picture of my knitting also ;)

I ryggen på lenestolen er det en tag,

med noen ord til jubilanten :)

**********

In the back of the chair, there is a tag with some

sentiments for the birthday lady :)

Nederst på stolen har jeg også pyntet med en blonde.

***********

On the edges of the chair, i have added a lace.

I skuffen på esken, kan man gjemme en gave eller som i dette tilfellet,

ett kort :)

**************

In the drawer on the box, you can hide a gift, or as in this case,

a card :)

Nydelig bilde fra KristieArt :)
