Invitation dc






As we met Alice a new theme for the weekly Drawing Challenge has crossed my mind: 

PLAYING CARDS





Doesn't matter if you design (a) playing card(s)
for Rommé or Skat or to tell the Future or Tarot...
come on, lets play together... say like Sonia Delaunay top right. You are free.

Please let me know that you are in and I'll admit you to the list and you
publish your work at the next weekend, the 18th and 19th of August.

dc LITTLE BOOK






Here is a little book. 
The white front side and the black back side, held together by a golden thread.
That golden thread runs from rosy side to rosy side.


















The last page is mirroring...

For this week's drawing challenge I've taken that line by Gertrude Stein and snippets from my mags and the golden roses (on the first page; made that stencil three lives ago and printed on wallpaper). I've designed single pages and sellotapes them to a fanfold, letting a golden thread runs through it.

Our hostess of this wonderful theme LITTLE BOOK is the dear Norma. Please, take a look at her creative place for more books.



Some years ago I made this little book above from single photos of my mother, even this book I've already showed you in parts for the 10. dc flower.




  No. 71 Crow

Now: No 71 Norma with 'A Small Book' at the 11th and 12th of August 2012

Following: No 72 Ariane 
at the 18th and 19th of August 2012
I'll tell you the theme at Monday morning


Who is our next host?

Gedanken / Thoughts



Eddie, die Krähe des Günthers von der Burg nebenan, 
sitzt auf dem Schornstein.

Eddie, the Crow of the Günther from the neighbouring Castle,
 sits on top of the chimney.








Gerade als die Königin der Burg am Eisenbach überlegt, wie die Pflanze heisst, die sie gerade fotografiert, springt plötzlich eine Kapsel auf und ihr fällt es ein:
Springkraut. Eine Bachblüte bei Ungeduld.
Die Austernschale hat sie aus Paris... ah, Paris.

Just as the Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach deliberates whats the name of the plant, which she is photographing, suddenly springs a capsule and it crosses her mind: 
Touch-Me-Not. A Bach flower against impatiens.
The shell of an oyster comes from Paris... ah, Paris.




Sie blättert in ihrem Paris-Fotoalbum und findet das Foto von dem Mann auf dem Markt, der ihr leicht irritiert die (leeren) Austernschalen überließ.

She skims through her photo album from Paris and finds that picture of the man from the market, who ceded her the (empty) shells of oyster a little confused.






Oh, und das untere Foto hat sie aus einem Cafe neben dem Centre George Pompidou gemacht... während sie mit ihrer Schwester in Montréal telefonierte...

Oh, and that lower photo she tooks out of a café close to the Centre George Pompidou... during she called her sister in Montréal...




Lautes Krächzen holt sie aus ihren Gedanken.

Loud cawing fetches her out of her thoughts.

dc CROW



At the neighbouring Castle of the Castle at the Eisenbach 
the old Günther is calling to Eddie.
The Crow hears his voice and flies through the open window. Günther feed him with some  walnuts. He speaks with a calming vox to the bird. 

Today the old man wants to show that Crows like Eddie are very intelligent birds. Eddie confides him and allows to the old man that he sticks a red paper on his breast.



The Crow strides to a mirror on the desk, takes a look.



Than he cows 'NO NO', shakes his head...



... and he starts to remove the red point with his beak.
He tries to remove the red point from his breast...
Eddie, the Crow has understood that it is his reflection in the mirror!

I am really amazed at the high intelligence of crows. Sometimes it makes me afraid of them... they seems to be very knowing...
This drawing I've made with pencil and carbon on rawly paper.
Please have a look at our hostess of this week's drawing challenge dear Carole's for more CROWs.




 Now: No. 71 Carole with  'CROW' at the 4th and 5th of August 2012

Next: No 71 Norma with 'A Small Book' at the 11th and 12th of August 2012

Following: No 72 Ariane

Balkon... balcony teatime







Die Königin von der Burg am Eisenbach genießt ihren Feierabend auf dem Balkon. 
Bei einer hübschen Tasse Tee gönnt sie sich leicht angebrannte Pfannkuchen mit Schoko... der neue Herd ist schnell! Entschleunigt sich bei einem Buch, das sie gerade gefunden hat, lässt den Blick schweifen...

The Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach enjoys her home time on the balcony. 
With a nice cup of tea she allows herself a easy burnt pancake with chocolate... the new stove is fast! Slows down with a book she has just found, admires her view from up there...














Carole is coming up with a quick theme for this weekend's drawing challenge: its CROW!

I will come up with a theme at the weekend 18th and 19th of August...
