Damals ... vor 20 Jahren habe ich ein Buch gesetzt mit Gedichten von Else Lasker-Schüler. Als Vorsatzpapier schnitt ich Rosenblüten in Linol und druckte sie in rot auf rotes Papier.
In those days ... 20 years ago I've printed a book with poems of Else Lasker-Schüler. As endpaper I cut rose petals in lino and imprinted them in red on red paper.
Heutzutage ... in der x. Blüte meines Lebens
(wäre ich eine Blume, dann eine, die mehrfach blüht) serviere ich Kuchen auf einer Platte mit selbstgemalten Blütenranken, versuche Blüten zu häkeln und knüpfe Perlen zu Blüten-Ringen.

These days ... in the x. prime of my life
(would I be a flower, than one, which reflorish multiple) I serve cake on a plate with blossom tendrils self-painted, try to crochet blossoms and make perls to blossom-rings.

i also find the crochet flowers fragile against their background. what will you do with them?
the paris ring (okay, alright! it's no blossom) is wonderful, but so are your flowery rings though. phieuwwww! some spring over at yours!!!
lovely to mention the german name for catkins. we all know them, and they have such exotic names in different languages..

Dear Nadine,

Lovely, all of it. The colours (as always!), the print, the crochets and the jewellery. You're a great talent. Now I feel like crocheting, although I ought to go to sleep!
AntwortenLöschenDear blossoms,
AntwortenLöschenthank you very much. I'm so happy about your lovely comments.
Dear dancing Sara, it would be so nice to crochet together...over a piece of cake.
And Jasmin flower, I take the hint with the crocheted blossoms ;-)
Liebe Mano,
