rotkäppchen.

both for the upcoming exhibition at thinkspace,
snow angels.



elly tagged me,
& i asked heiko for five facts about me
because he knows lots of facts, here is what he says:

"you have brown hair.
you have brown eyes.
you have an orange pattern in your brown eyes.
you like cheeseburgers.
you like bears. you want to get a tattoo of a bear."



so, i tag whoever is reading this! if you want to write 5 'facts' about yourself, feel free to in the comments, or in your blog.

also, a few weeks ago, these peeps were nice enough to feature my artwork in their lovely blogs:

The Roadside Scholar (here)
Samantha Hahn (here)

& one for Cups and Cuddles (hurrah!)
(here)

cold in the shadows, warm in the sunshine.

Today i woke up and the sun was shining! No cloud to be seen. I went for a walk to the bakery to enjoy the good weather.







It's my first winter here and it has been quite depressing, especially when considering that my home, Queensland, has 300 sunny days per year.

Today is great!
Tonight, we are going to see Ana Ventura's exhibition at Bourgeois Pig! It should be wonderful.
Tomorrow, if the weather is still good, we might go for a picnic.

P.S. What do you do to cheer up when the weather is grey?

for the man i love...

Several months ago, i began a diorama for Heiko's birthday, and so now, here it is finally finished! I looked at a japanese garden book that had garden layouts and used these to try and make a nicely proportioned garden.

The panda is modeled off photos we took at Berlin zoo of Baobao. The pretzel is made from aluminium foil from a kinder surprise wrapper.

materials: glue, cotton, paint, clay, window frame, aluminium foil


11/12: i've submitted this to the illustrationfriday.com 'littlethings' topic. i think it fits :)

happy birthday darling!

first snow

It snowed overnight, and again this morning. While i was sitting in class i could see lots of big snowflakes floating around, it was very pretty, or 'sehr schön'.

Meine Lieblingslaterne.





Today the children here paraded down the street with homemade(or bought) lanterns for the Saint Martin's day parade. St. Martin was a Roman soldier who cut his coat in half in winter and gave half to save a freezing beggar. More about Saint Martin, here

Also, here is my first youtube video! (it's of the parade. )

another drawing for the cups & cuddles exhibition.

most of the drawings i sent are black & white and all are quite
small. unfortunately i did not have as much time as i
would have liked to make colour drawings for the show.
however, it was a pleasure to draw with pens, as always!

i couldn't scan this at all. so this is just a photo.
