Another summer week went buy – fun :)

Ein weitere Sommerwoche die vergangen ist :)

*236/365*

A healthy start with fresh fruits- making a smoothie

*237/365*

Love my anniversary sunflowers :)

*238/365*

Gängeviertel – nearby area. These old houses were bought by investors and might be demolished. Artist occupy them now and did some cool artwork inside.

*239/365*

Old factory – could be such a great gallery for artists – but I guess it is going to be demolished too.

*240/365*

Bought a new Spray Mask. Had the other one on and it was smelling of chemicals- no way I could use it again!

*241/365*

Again at the Gängeviertel- still not all open – but took a peek.

*242/365*

Finally the new pantry for my studio is up and waits to be filled and used :)

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Wünsche Euch eine tolle Woche!

Not far from my neighborhood there is a little area that is called Gängeviertel. About 12 houses that are really old – some of the few left over in Hamburg of this construction. This area was the living area for the very poor workers and a couple years ago an investor bought those houses with the plan to demolish about 80% and build up something modern. But then they hadn’t had money and now for years those houses are just stand there empty, they rot and it looks as if some day those historic houses will be just demolished at all.

Last weekend about 200 artists – a lot of them art students – squated the houses and put installations, paintings, sculptures, spray art  – art in every imaginable way into the rooms of those houses. And finally the city started talking to them and right now it looks as if they can stay for a time and the rooms will be opened to the public in case they are safe.

So I have been there several times to see if some more reopened – and I will be back for sure- but here are some things I saw so far.

this one below totally cracked me up

The video is not mine! I found it on youtube- and love it!

Such a crazy and exciting week – I liked it :) So here we go with pictures again- sorry about the photo overload at the time, but I was so busy I hadn’t had time to create – or what I created I can’t show at the moment! But I promise I get better ;)

Was für eine verrückte und aufregende Woche – hat mir sehr gefallen :) Hier also mal wieder Photos – tut mir leid, dass es gerade so viele gibt, aber ich war so beschäftigt, dass ich kaum Zeit zum scrappen hatte – oder wenn doch, dann für Projekte, die ich noch nicht zeigen kann! Aber ich gelobe Besserung ;)

*229/365*

Lunch with Liz – such wonderful time :)

*230/365*

Such a nice evening. Had an office party on our office balcony- with bbq, music from YouTube on our Computers and cake and fun :)

*231/365*

Day went by in a blur – packing, organising, cleaning, “migraine-ing”. Niles “why are you doing this to me???”

*232/365*

Arrived in Odense, Denmark. The cute street where Hans Christian Andersen was born just across MultiScrap where I taught.

*233/365*

Love this pic of Iben- that was too funny!

*234/365*

Somebody got a new hammock ;) Happy Anniversary!

*235/365*

Did a bicycle tour – went on the ferry to go to the other side of the river and rode around there. Fun, beautiful  and relaxed day.

Wishing you a gorgeous start into the week!!!!

Wünsche Euch einen tollen Start in die Woche!!!
