today i’m wrapping postcards and feeling very happy that some of my drawings actually exist as postcards now. : ) to celebrate i’m giving away some postcards alongside a couple of yashica prints.
just leave a comment below and i’ll draw a winner next sunday.
have a great sunday everybody!
i recieved a lovely package in the mail the other day from nate and katie of hearblack. it contained beautiful prints and some tea i look forward to trying this weekend - it has the most wonderful scent! thank you guys, so very sweet of you!
note: the porcelain chopping board in the firste photo is a christmas gift from a friend. i took the middle photo walking to the train station after visiting my grandmother. it was a foggy moonlit night with perfect dramatic light.
on a second note: my postcards are going to be in brinja’s shop from tomorrow and to celebrate i’m planning a small giveaway this weekend! i’ll keep you posted.
see you soon
just a quick hello today - i have been without internet connection for two days!! it feels like someone dismantled my arms and took off…well almost. now i’m sitting in a nearby café drinking a very long cup of coffee and enjoying a bit of online time.
have a great friday everybody! the sun is shining in copenhagen today, for the first time in many many days.
been working som more on the three birds on a branch drawing that looked like this before.

phew, it’s already monday, where did the weekend go? i have been working some more on my bird postcards and hope to have them ready soon. the owl illustration i showed you some time ago has changed and now there’s two owls sitting on the branch…it’s a bit too cartoon like at the moment - but getting there. the other one is a new one i’m still working on.
hope your monday is treating you well!

- gracia: thank you gracia. they are hard to capture though - flying birds : ) wish i could photograph more birds (good excuse to visit the zoo soon!)
- nathalie: thanks! well normally i’m not very organized but i knew that i would regret it, if i didn’t do it properly : )
- anna: yeah it was…but it took so long! would never have guessed it would - but now i have a really good idea of how the colors come out and that’s great!
- melanie: hi melanie, thanks for your comment : ) glad you liked the photos!
- ali: hello ali! i’m happy to know you stop by from time to time - i hope you are well : )
- a.: yep, a movie night indeed : )
- kristi: i like those buttons as well, they make the shirt more country and western and i like that : ) thanks for your kind words about my wardrobe!
- sekimachihato: they are very comfy. NE is back on his feet - i’m convinced it was the omelet that cured him ; ) i only noticed that the entire photo was full of blue shades after i took the photo. ps. as far as i recall it was sunmaid raisins we got in small packages, when i was little.
- lotte: tak, ja jeg er også blevet forfalden til nærmest kun at gå i skjorter. omeletten havde helt klart helbredende egenskaber : )
- ne: selvfølgelig
- lorenza: i can’t get enough of autumn colors either! and i agree - nothing beats comforting meals!
- mothersvea: it was good! i have a bit of an egg obsession these days.
- ai: the omelette consisted of red onions, tomatoes, thyme and parmesan cheese well and eggs of course : ) there might have been red peppers in it as well..can’t remember.
- maria: me too! omelet rules! your welcome and it really is strange to write in the beginning : ) thanks for your sweet words about the blog!
- marion: thank you marion, i’m honoured to be on your list!
- elisabelle: thank you : )
well yesterday my brother and i visited our grandmother. a great trip but i forgot my camera there! don’t know when i will go and pick it up, so until then i have desided to draw a bit in the meantime. a small “one drawing a day” project!..we’ll see how it goes. thanks for all your comments on the cake post! i will let my friend helle know that her cakes made quite an impression.
i hope this owl drawing will be part of my bird postcard project…just have to make some adjustments/improvements and see how it fits into the ones i have made so far

- rudegirls: lige præcis - nam! lækre kager!
- lorenza: mmm crumble sounds great, i really like these types of cakes. may it be the first of many : )
- ai: i know almost overwhelming with all those delicious berries.!
- nathalie: that’s the thing..even though you eat lunch there’s still room for cake ; )
- ne: he, ja det er måske meget godt : )
- anairam: hehe your comment made me smile anairam.
- ida: JA, lagkage er noget af det bedste!
- epe, D: they were delicious
- máni: yeah i really like the colors in the first photo, looks almost analogue.
- lotte: den var tærtelækkeragtig : ) tror nok at opskrifterne er fra den der hedder kager der smager. ja efter tre fødselsdage er man ved at være mæt af alt det lækre…men kun for en stund : ) ps. det er så hyggeligt at være hyggeligt at være nabo til ungtblod…sjovt at tænke på om der skulle være flere nabobloggere derude.
- anna: oh you are fasting, then i can imagine it being even harder to look at cakes…

- ida: thank you so much! glad you like it!
- nathalie: thanks, it’s a new skirt and i love it! 50’s style inspired. sounds beautiful being on an empty beach at sunset. can’t believe that guy only had a bathing suit!
it’s weekword time again! as you may know i desided to do a penguin drawing for my postcard project. i have altered it slightly to make it into this weeks weekword contribution. explanatory text: it takes a small penguin about 30 seconds to walk the distance of three big ice floes.
go to anairam’s blog to see the other participants.
note: you can follow the progress of the bird postcard project and see previous postcards here
have a great weekend everyone!

late last night i began drawing swallows and had in mind a graphic pattern of swallows all in the same shape but turned in different angles. this is what came out of it. i often wonder about whether my drawings should be more detailed…so i’m not sure if this one is finished yet or just a sketch.
the next drawings coming up will by of an owl and one with penguins in it - two of my favorite bird species. have a great tuesday!
i’m terribly late with my weekword contribution this week! felt like doing a chinese revolutionary poster kind of drawing only with an eagle in the middle. couldn’t deside which one was best so here’s two! maybe this drawing will also be part of my bird postcard project…not sure yet.
go to kristi’s blog to see other fantabulous weekword contributions!
note: the new blog design looks weird in internet explorer at the moment. working on that.
have a great sunday everybody!

the last couple of days i have been thinking about a new drawing project. quite a few people have been asking me why i don’t try and sell some of my drawings in the form af postcards and i thought - why not give it a go! i will make a series of 10 bird illustrations - postcard size - and then take it from there… i’ll keep you posted about the progress.
note: a lovely blog i discovered recently - ida - she takes the most beautiful yashica photos!
