… is not good for me. Sadly not in the oh-my-god-I’m-so-obsessed-I-hardly-do-anything-other-than kind of way. Sometimes I have trouble with my right hand. Some kind of chronic sinew irritation … I’ve long hesitated but in the end I had to admit: folding makes it worse. So that’s it folks. At least for the near future I […]
Man muss der eignen Phantasie schon etwas entgegensetzen,

coming home
After a weekend of beeing away from reality, having fun, making plans and not beeing trown out of the ICE-train, I’ve returned home to find my geranium shell – which was well-filled when I left – looking like this: It’s hardly surprising, considering that the plant sap consists of 99,9% water … Neither it’s completely […]
This …
… is windowcolor crane Number 2: And this is windowcolor crane Number 3: Believe it or not: I’m frustrated! My next approach will be „pieces of crane“
Geranium
Fortune favoered me with some spare time last weekend.

Dear BeRúThiel …
… I actually considered taking out the window, placing it over the painted sketch and do the thing as one piece. I’m glad I didn’t. I created about seven or eight „Puzzleteile“ (and the leaves) and combined them on the window. Retrospectively I’m glad I didn’t do the whole-window-version. It couldn’t but end in a […]
