Graffiti Knitting :)

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

Und…was haltet Ihr davon? LOL …und …nö – das ist keine neue Kunstform für mich …dafür bin ich zu ungeduldig ;)

    Neat stuff but a lot of work for a very slow knitter like me. Colorful and harmless as well. I would be sad to see my work taken off though.

Project 365 – Week 29

Well…hahaha- let’s start with…another week went by  – LOL

OK…hahaha – lasst uns mit…eine weitere Woche ist vergangen – LOL

*194/365*

A new addiction is born : Spraypainting :)

*195/365*

A beautiful rainbow visible from our living room window :)

*196/365*

nice texture :)

*197/365*

More colors- more spraying :)

*198/365*

From the back balcony of our office- I wonder how this looks like in a couple years. Love the falling down plastering. And – be assured – It wasn’t me with the spraying!!!!

*199/365*

Nice afternoon with our neighbors on the street- one of them opened a great new Crepe Bistrot.

*200/365*

Spraying and Stenciling – how fun!

So…finally I made it to the store around the corner “Underpressure” and bought some really cool spray paints – I limited myself to four cans before I entered the store- but I do totally know I need more colors- LOL. Although I was totally out of place in this store and admitted right from the beginning that I was a newbie to the whole thing, I got some amazing costumerservice! I also bought a mask- which is absolutely necessary and which I forgot to put on once- no good!!!I also got the coolest Markers in the world- more about them some other time.

Nun denn …endlich habe ich es geschafft den Laden um die Ecke zu betreten “Underpressure” und ein paar  wirklich coole Sprayfarben zu kaufen. Vor Betreten des Ladens hatte ich mich schon auf 4 Dosen limitiert – aber ich brauche nun wirklich mehr Farben – LOL. Obwohl ich völlig ferngesteuert und fehl am Platze in dem Laden wirkte und zudem auch noch von Anfang an gleich zugab, dass ich von der ganzen Materie null Ahnung hätte, bekam ich eine unglaublich nette und gute Beratung! Ich kaufte auch gleich noch eine Maske – die absolut notwendig ist – und die ich dann auch einmal beim Sprayen vergaß aufzusetzen – Großer Fehler! Außerdem bekam ich die genialsten Marker aller Zeiten – aber davon ein andermal.

And then I set up a spraying station on the roof and started. Boy that was fun! Here are just my favorite examples from this afternoon.

Und dann habe ich mir so eine Spraystation eingerichtet – oben auf dem Dach – und losgelegt! Hier sind ein paar Fotos von meinen Lieblingsergebnissen an diesem Nachmittag.

Although I screwed up the Ape-Stencil – I like the background a lot. Definetly have to try this again. The Ape and the scrolls on the side are bought stencils.

I love the depth here and I have already an idea for a layout with this. The Rays and the bubbles are selfmade stencils.

The layout for this one is already done – I love this a lot.

This one is a collaged – pretty big- canvas that I have standing around for a while now. So I just thought I would do some stuff on here and I like the outcome. I still need to think how to proceed with it- but I think I will come up with something eventually.

So I hope you enjoyed my spraypaint stuff- LOL – don’t you think I need more colors?  Which ones should I get?

Ich hoffe Ihr mochtet mein Sprühversuche – LOL – meint Ihr nicht auch, ich brauche mehr Farben?  Welche soll ich kaufen?

LO: Inspire

This weekend I played a lot with all kinds of stuff and stencils. I’m not really satisfied with the outcome- but I’m working on it :)

Dieses Wochenende habe ich mit allerlei Zeug und Stencils gearbeitet. Ich bin nicht wirklich mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden, aber ich arbeite dran :)

Detail:

I love the outcome of my umbrella man – the rest didn’t get the sharp crisp edges that would make it really cool.

Ich liebe das Ergebnis meines Regenschirm-Mannes – der Rest hat leider nicht so scharfe und klare Umrisse, die das Ganze wirklich cool gemacht hätten :)

Project 365 – Week 28

Here are my photos from last week :)

Und hier sind die Photos der letzten Woche :)

*187/365*

got a nice flower bouquet from my office

*188/365*

I know you saw this pic already :) Had a lot of fun at the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Concert in the Docks in Hamburg

*189/365*

love that flower at Planten un Bloomen

*190/365*

stumbling stones in Hamburg – always make me sad and think about who lived in those houses and what happened to them! Makes me also realize how unlikely it is when people say they didn’t know.

*191/365*

St. Pauli Game – 2 : 0 – good game, lot’s of rain, cold, but still fun

*192/365*

Crop & Grill at Scrapbook-King– awesome day- and finally seeing Andrea again – it’s been a while

*193/365*

Playing all day with stencils, paints and other media. So fun!

Hope you have a gorgeous day today!

    if they are what Im thinking, are they gentle reminders to not go down the wrong paths maybe some others have gone down. Dreams that we learn from others mistakes.?

LO: What I Like About You *STM #94*

I really love the song we do have this week at Scrapping The Music and as it is a song my husband loves too – it was pretty obvious what to do – LOL. The Romantics with “What I Like About You”.

Ich liebe diesen Song der Romantics “What I Like About You”, den wir diese Woche als Challengesong bei Scrapping the Music haben. Da es auch einer der Lieblingssongs meines Mannes ist – war es ziemlich einfach welches Thema mein Layout haben sollte- LOL.

    Hi,

    Just wanted to let you know I love this page. The colors and details are wonderful. Fabulous work!!! I was reading your comments on the CC DT call. Lucy called the other day to tell me who got the team. I often wish I were on a design team, but feel some what like you. My work is not main stream and I am not going to change because then it becomes work and a struggle for me. I hope eventually a company needs my talent. For now Somerset continues to pick up my work for their different publications.

CJ-Entry: I can fly

It took me a while to do the entry for Kerstin‘s Circle Journal – simply because this book is sooo amazing!!!! The theme of her book is to yarn a story/promise the moon – well…make up something. So…but finally I came up with something and I hope she likes it :)

Ich habe eine ganze Weile gebraucht, mich endlich an den Eintrag für Kerstins Circle Journal zu wagen – ganz einfach, weil ich das unglaublich tolle Buch nicht ruinieren wollte!!!! Das Thema ihre Buches ist “Das Blaue vom Himmel” – also etwas über sich zu erfinden. Endlich habe ich mir was einfallen lassen, ich hoffe es gefällt ihr.

*Ich kann fliegen/I can fly”

Journaling translated: When I was in elementary school I was able to fly! Really! Everytime I went out with our dog and reached the bridge I jumped into the air and did some swimming moves and …I flew a couple meters! One day I made the mistake to tell my friends on the school yard about my ability. They all laughed and asked me to fly right now. I started to doubt myself and of course it didn’t work anymore. Several months ago I met a woman. She looked at me and said ” I was able to fly when I was a kid”. I replied “Me too”. And we  nodded knowingly at each other! I know if I do stop to doubt myself I will be able to fly again!

Supplies: Claudine Hellmuth’s Sticky Canvas, Acrylic Paints, Ranger’s Colorwash, Oil Pastels, Staz On, Tim Holtz Script Stamp, Newspaper Stamp, Neocolors II, Wooden Letter Stamps, Tim Holtz Grungeboard, Glimmer Mist, Tim Holtz Stencil Letters

Take a flight today :)

    Super! Maybe you won’t believe me but I was able to fly as well but I ended up with a really big bump on my forehead while trying to fly from the stairs with my head right on to our front foor. That was the end of flying for me
