Virkverket – Vinn boken Virkligheten
Böcker är något av det mest inspirerande man kan köpa/låna/få när det gäller kreativt skapande. Man kan få massor av idéer! Speciellt när det gäller virkning, som jag inte är så bra på än, är det bra att ha en bok att lära sig av och vända sig till. Hittills har jag skaffat mig fyra stycken böcker om att virka amigurumi, men jag skulle hemskt gärna vilja ha fler böcker om virkning.
Som t.ex. boken på bilden här, som dessutom är med på Virkverkets blogg. Där kan man vinna boken om man deltar i tävlingen som finns beskriven i det här blogginlägget på bloggen Virkverket. Som ni ser av bilden på boken är det massor av jättesöta djur och annat dylikt som man kan virka! Inspirerande!
(Just det här blogginlägget är korspostat på min egen blogg Havsdjupens sal. Läs mer om mitt virkande under länkarna “virkning” och “amigurumi” här på Creative Harmony.)

Starfish and seashell
There are some new painting projects going on. I have just started a new acrylic painting, depicting an ocean and a beach with two seashells and a starfish. I will post pictures of the painting, when it has progressed further. I am also planning on finishing a bunch of earlier paintings; some of them need a last finish; some of them just need me signing them; some are in the middle of making.

An Easel and Five Canvases
I had my birthday last Wednesday. Among other things, I got an easel and two canvases. The day after, as a late birthday gift for myself, I bought three more canvases. I’ve uploaded a photo of the canvas for you to see. As you can see, they are of different sizes and shapes. It’ll be fun to paint on these. But before that, I’ve to finish my current projects. One of them is a painting of a fool. As you can see I’ve chosen a kind of naïve style, more like a children’s painting than anything else. I wanted the painting to be in the same style as The Star Collector.

A New Page: Portfolio
I’ve made a new Page; look to the right. It’s a Portfolio with most of my acrylic paintings in it. With time I’ll add new paintings as well as drawings, and watercolour paintings. Please come back and look again! I’ll update with time going. And if you are interesting in taking a closer look on any of the paintings, or want to come in touch in me, please send me an e-mail. If you want me to make a drawing/painting for you I’m happy to do so! (Mail me at kreativharmoni(at)gmail(dot)com.)
Jag har gjort en ny “Page”, titta i menyn till höger. En Portfolio! Just nu finns där bara akrylmålningar, men med tiden ska jag utöka med nya akrylmålningar, såväl som akvarellmålningar och teckningar. Kom gärna tillbaka och titta igen i min Portfolio! Vill du komma i kontakt med mig, för att ta närmare titt på någon teckning/målning, mejla mig gärna. Om du vill ge mig i uppdrag att måla/teckna något speciellt, skicka ett mejl så ska vi se vad jag kan göra! (Mejla mig på kreativharmoni(snabel-a)gmail(punkt)com.)

I’ve found something to look forward to, music wise. Gackt will release a new album, as of the 2nd of December 2009! Yay! That’s really great! The album is named “Reborn”. I wonder if he feels reborn, now when he has been a solo artist for a decade and he has celebrated this in different ways, for example with Journey through the Decade and a number of other singles over the last year. I’m really looking forward to listening to his new album! I found the information here.

Venice in Evening Light
Finally and at last! My painting of Venice is finished! I finished it just a few moments ago.
A year ago, my boyfriend and I visited Venice – such a lovely city! – And I took a whole bunch of photos. Lots of painters have been to Venice to paint the wonderful city, the gondolas and the oh-so-special light. I’m no exception. After our journey, I made a painting, inspired by one of my photos. Originally it was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. But time flies by. He got this painting last Christmas (2008), but I held the painting hostage, because I wasn’t finished yet. I needed some time to finish the painting. As time passed by, my demands went high up in the air, so high that I got paralyzed… How to finish a painting that needs to be perfect? …I had to lower my standards, but how?
How indeed(?), but NOW, three quarters later, I’ve finished the painting. At last! Hurray!
…By the way, my boyfriend and I went to London last week, and I took a whole bunch of photos… and with all the old buildings and such, I feel inspired… I might start painting a London-view… I wonder if my boyfriend wants to have a painting of London for Christmas…?

I’m listening to Room Nr 382 for the very first time. Sadly, it’s not good. But it’s Miyavi. It gives me nostalgic feelings too. One year ago, last summer – summer of 2008 – I went to a concert with Miyavi here in Sweden, Stockholm. It was a great concert, but – and here’s the big but – a lot of time was spent on “the artist let his staff make the public sing songs whilst the artist can do something else” and “ the artist let the public listen to remixes ‘made by’ the DJ whilst the artist is busy somewhere else, not on the stage” .
The remixes. Yes, Room Nr 382 is a remix album. It’s too much remixes and too little song /good music if you ask me. It’s now, when I listen to this album for the very first time, when I realize what it was I was listening to and jumping and bouncing to in the concert hall one year ago. It’s Miyavi ft. Teddyloid. I do not recommend you to listen to this album (except for a couple of tracks). But I do recommend you to listen to Miyavi’s earlier albums. Go get them, now.

Today, at least in Sweden, it’s The Day of the Left-Handed. It’s a special day for me, since I’m left-handed.
It’s the first year ever I’m celebrating this event, since I didn’t know this day existed before. The 13th of August, every year, is The Day of the Left-Handed in Sweden. Yay!
I’m left-handed and proud of it. And what are the odds! I have two right-handed parents, and when both parents are right-handed the chance of a child being left-handed is 9%. Talk about strange; my parents have three left-handed children out of five! What are the odds for that!?
As said, I’m proud, though… although, at times, it can be hard to be left-handed… For example, there’s this thing about scissors being made for right-handed (scissors for left-handed do exist, but they are hard to come by and also more expensive), and also when writing, since we write from left to right, you’ve got to put your hand in the ink or whatever type of writing material you’re using – and since I love to write, I get my hands all messy by default… But most of all, there’s always the bothering with opening tins… Have you ever tried to use a tin opener with the left hand? I assure you, it’s not done quickly, and you’ve to open the can the wrong way around, making it much easier to cut yourself…
If you can’t picture what I’m trying to say: pretend to be left-handed the next time you’re using all those tools made for right-handed people! I’m sure it’ll be a bother for you as well, using them!
