Illustration Friday topic: Sky

Illustration Friday is an online forum for illustrator´s and artists at all levels. At this forum I can read articles, blogs and get inspired by people from all around the world who also loves to draw, paint and illustrate.  Every Friday afternoon a new topic is presented on the forum. Everyone who wants to participate illustrates something on this topic and share it on this forum. A small online exhibition is created in this way. The topic works as a good inspiration, motivation and is a great challenge. It is also very nice to see other illustrators interpretation of the same topic and get new ideas.
 
My inspiration to last week´s topic sky on Illustrating Friday is the season we are in.
Autumn is so pretty and magical with all the powerful colors and shades.
Crispy fresh air, cold winds, wet, muddy parks but so so beautiful when the sun comes out.
I imagine that I could fly around with the leaves up in the sky.
Up there I can enjoy the beauty even closer.
When I have had enough I would go inside and warm myself with a nice hot chocolate.
 

Illustrations inspiration

Illustration Friday är en forum på nätet för illustratörer, konstnärer och tecknare på olika nivåer. Här kan jag läsa artiklar och bli inspirerade av andra människor från jordens alla hörn som också älskar att teckna och illustrera. På fredagar efter lunch varje vecka läggs det upp ett ord som är veckans tema. Detta tema tolkar vi på olika sätt och det fungerar som en inspiration, motivation och utmaning i det egna tecknandet. Det är också ett sätt att se hur andra tolkar samma tema och alla verk bildare en liten utställning på nätet. Genom detta forum har jag hittat många olika illustratörer vars stil jag gillar och inspirerar mig och jag kan följa deras bloggar.
 
Denna vecka var temat: Sky = Himmel
Min inspiration kommer från hösten och höstens alla färger och nyanser.
Temperaturen har skjunkit. Ena dagen är det våt och grått. Nästa dag vågar sig solen ut. Och allt är så himla vackert. Tänk om jag kunde få följa med ett av alla dessa oranga, gula eller röda löv på en liten tur i höstblåsten. Flyga runt och uppleva allt det vackra på nära håll. Sen när jag är kall då kan jag be att få stiga av och gå in och dricka varm chocklad med grädde.

Weekly Update 24/52 Making leaving gifts and wine ladies

During week 24 I have been working on preparing thank you gifts for kids teachers and friends. I like to give something symbolic which also can be useful. This year I decided to buy water bottles for the teachers and to make them personalized writing their name and some flowers on them. I bought plain smaller bottles at IKEA. With my Cricut i designed and cut it out of permanent vinyl. With adding vinyl on the bottles, they can only be hand-washed otherwise the vinyl will come off.  After five years in Germany I have gotten so use to saying Frau Janssen rather then using her first name. So I decided that I will use the last name because that is the only name the kids use. Funny how you get use to something that I from the beginning thought was so stupid and old fashion.  When I was playing around with my Cricut I also figured out how to transfer my wine ladies into svg file which is needed so the machine can cut out my illustrations. I did a test with iron on transfer vinyl. I made the

Weekly update 23/52 Düsseldorf Art journals, Tonhalle and pool season

End of May beginning of June this wonderful time of the year and it is starting to be more and more emotional and real that we soon will be packing up and leaving. After this very cold spring it is nice to finally warm up and that the pool season has started. Here in Wittlaer Düsseldorf we have a local pool in Kaiserwerth Freibad Flossenweg where we go to swim. On a normal school day in the afternoon it is not too bad with people but on a hot hot weekend it is very crowded. It is kind of funny living in a place where you meet parents from school and neighbors first fully dressed and then undressed in the pool.  One amazing experience was seeing Düsseldorf Tonhalle from inside where Mila and her school together with four other schools in Düsseldorf had a Sing Pause concert. It was magical to hear them all sing in this old planetarium which has been changed into a concert hall.  My Creative work has been focusing on personalizing Art journals. I bought plain brown paper art journals to t

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves.  I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother
