Denmark Workshops in August :)

MultiScrap will have it’s 5th anniversary in August and to celebrate they invited me to teach 3 classes on August 20th and 21st. I had the pleasure to work with Iben before and I so look forward to this! Here is what is waiting for you :)…in Danish :) (I will teach in English or German of course- LOL)

MultiScrap hat sein 5.Jubiläum im August und um dieses ausgiebig zu feiern, hat man mich eingeladen im August, genauer am 20. und 21., 3 Workshops zu unterrichten. Ich hatte ja schon das Vernügen mit Iben zusammenzuarbeiten und ich freue mich riesig! Und das ist was Euch erwartet :) in Dänisch (ich unterrichte aber in Englisch oder Deutsch – LOL)

* Evig kærlighed*

I denne Prima workshop – undervist af Nathalie Kalbach vil du skabe et LO med mange sjove og inspirerende teknikker. Medbring et foto af dig og dine kære(ste) eller måske et antikt bryllups foto af bedste/olde forældre el. lign. LO’et vil være både romantisk og moderne. Du vil komme til at arbejde med spændende Prima produkter – nogle ikke set i Danmark før !! Derudover bruges der alkohol inks, akryl maling og folie til at udforske spændende måder man kan bruge disse materialer på og skabe et unikt stykke kunst ! Disse teknikker kan du også bruge til fremtidige projekter og er meget brugbare. Nathalie vil desuden vise dig hvordan du nemt kan ændre dit LO til et flot vægophæng der kan blive et smukt midtpunkt i dit hjem. OBS: BEGRÆNSET ANTAL PLADSER !!

In this Prima Workshop taught to you by Nathalie Kalbach, you will create a layout with a lot of fun and inspiring techniques. Use a photo of you and your loved one(s) or even a heritage wedding photo to highlight a relationship in a romantic but modern way. You will work with Prima Marketing Products, alcohol inks, acrylic paints and foil and explore interesting ways to use those media to create an unique piece of art. These techniques can be used in future projects and are versatile. Nat will also show you how to turn your layout easily into a wall hanging that will be a beautiful eye-catcher in your home.

*Hyldest album*

Du behøver ikke at være en rockstjerne for at være en stjerne i nogens liv !

Der er mennesker i vores liv som vi sætter stor pris på. Ær dem på din egen måde med deres eget personlige tribute album.

I denne Prima workshop tager Nathalie dig med ud på en tur som du måske ikke fra starten af ved hvor præcis ender, men Nathalie har en plan og hun kender målet !!

Nathalie vil vise dig sjove og spændende teknikker med alkohol inks og embossing pulver som vil overraske dig og tilføre en helt unik effekt til dit specielle hyldest album.

I dit workshop kit finder du smukke Prima produkter som vi vil bruge på spændende og unikke måder.

OBS: BEGRÆNSET ANTAL PLADSER !

You don’t have to be a rock star to rock somebody’s life. There are people in our life that we value a lot. Honor them in your own way with their own personal Tribute Album.  In this Prima Workshop you go for a Spin but you don’t know exactly how it ends. Nat will show you fun and playful techniques with Alcohol inks and Embossing Powders that will surprise you and add a unique sparkle to your special tribute. In your workshop kit you will also find beautiful Prima products that can be used in versatile and unique ways.

 *Mystery Mix Workshop*

Vi har endnu ingen sneak peak billeder af denne klasse, men det er en LO klasse hvor du kommer til at arbejde med produkter fra: American Crafts, Sassafras og Graphic 45 !!

+ der vil være nogle spændende teknikker at lære som du også i fremtiden kan bruge på dine LO’er.

Yderligere information om hvad der skal medbringes kommer primo august.

OBS: Begrænset antal pladser.

Can’t wait to see you there!

Project 365 – Week 30

The last week contained more or less only work…and there is no change in the next two weeks. So there are a lot of pictures taken from my office balcony :)

Die letzte Woche bestand mehr oder weniger nur aus Arbeit …und das wird sich auch in den nächsten beiden Wochen kaum was ändern. Nun denn – es sind also viele Bilder dabei, die ich von meinem Bürobalkon geschossen habe :)

*201/365*

The tv tower – from my office balcony.

*202/365*

St. Pauli Stadium and the beginning of the summer fairy. We have a month long fairy four times a year. This means I will hear the screaming people on the roller coasters in my office next week – LOL

*203/365*

Another random shot from the office balcony. Can’t see our roof terrace- LOL

*204/365*

WorldWarII Bunker- right across my desk – nowadays it accomadates music rehearsal rooms and a big music store.

*205/365*

I could eat Sushi almost every day :) On the other days my Italian Blood screams for Pasta- LOL

*206/365*

Playing with Glimmer Mist !

*207/365*

Love how this sight in the hammock- LOL.

Wishing you an amzing sunny sunday!

So…what you think about this? LOL …and no – it is not a new art form for me…I’m to impatient for this ;)
