There are moments in life you feel it deep inside: moving foreward is better than marking time. Having a chance to catch-up with the flight of fortune is a WIN-WIN-NEVER-HESITATE situation! Saying YES to one new thing often means to say GOODBYE to another thing. Starting with The Rainer, I was asked to paint severalContinue reading “Review 2022 Part I – Once Upon A Time …”

Momorable Moments
This is my last 2021’s card art post I guess (you’ll never know which pretty flash of inspiration could come over in the next couple of hours – so I’ll stay open-minded for all of what might happen ;)). 2021 was a year full of emotions: HOPE, JOY, DISILLUSION, LOSS, RELIEF … no one expectedContinue reading “Momorable Moments”
Let’s get coupled!
It was a pleasure being part of a lot of exciting Secret Mission Projects organised by friends and colleagues in the past five months. This blog post is all about the idea of portraiting LOVE :)!!! Portraiting someone means more than trying to carve out his or her “look”. It means to reflect the personContinue reading “Let’s get coupled!”
“Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost …”
A new reality has become part of our lives. We all follow the up and downs with hotspot regulations, 3G and 2G rules, antigen tests and other COVID hygiene measures day by day, week by week, month by month, for almost 2 years … The hardest part is the one to accept that the plansContinue reading ““Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost …””
Secret Mission III of … Wishing you all the best, Mrs Fancy!
This blog post is dedicated to another very lovely person in my young business life – my Mrs Fancy* (in November of last year, I already wrote about my former boss Rainer)! When I started as a student worker at the company I still work for 10 years now (oh my! 10 years! That’s 1/3Continue reading “Secret Mission III of … Wishing you all the best, Mrs Fancy!”
Top Secret Mission I of …
My June was full of projects, but I cannot tell you about all of them by now 🤫. A lot of friends and colleagues will start a new stage in their life from July/August on. Therefore, I am pretty busy to help their friends finding individual card/gift ideas and to realise them. Then, one bigContinue reading “Top Secret Mission I of …”
From old to new – Let the Groove out!
What you see is what you get? Not every time :)!! Especially furniture needs to be recovered or revalued from time to time – like our gem here. It’s an 200 years old massive wooden bench covered with hogskin. The grandparents of my father’s first wife (the mother of my four half sisters) were carpentersContinue reading “From old to new – Let the Groove out!”
One hand washes the other …
After three weeks of taking care of my husband’s health who struggled very bad with a pneumonia (no COVID-19 – incredible, but yes!!), I’m happy to be back with this little practice post :). Issue of this one is: drawing hands! Seems simple, but drawing hands can really be a challenge – all those wrinkles,Continue reading “One hand washes the other …”
From old to new – Lost & Found Part 2
The last two weeks were pretty intense – a lot of work was waiting for me after our two weeks of vacation. Time went so fast, I’m happy to find this moment to meditate and bring my thoughts down for a second. It’s fabulous how fast winter has changed with spring this year – aContinue reading “From old to new – Lost & Found Part 2”
February/March Card Work
The last two weekends a couple of friends and I spent time again on our retirement-home project. There are three more homes waiting to be served with handmade presents and cards – a great achievement in Corona times. This makes us really glad!! Here a little selection of the 18 cards I made, let’s haveContinue reading “February/March Card Work”
