Ich liebe alle Farben

Just a photo from the tiny city garden.

And notice my love for bright colors,
one thing I'm not afraid of.

Happy weekend.

Lost

A page from my dummy.

For the love of getting lost in the magic wood:

Find a circle of toadstools, or oak trees,
take a bath in the full moon.

Dance with the fairies,
make love till dawn.

Laundry night

Today I had a good time playing in the woods with a bunch of great children.

And now just happy to be alone in my studio again.
Having visions of a little house made out of cardboard boxes with lots of my strange drawings.

In my art I'm on a eternal quest for magic.

Working with the children made me again realise that magic lies in ordinary things.
The wonder is in the eyes of the beholder.

I'm dancing in the spring rain, spreading fairy dust to you.
Love Elisa.

Living in a box

face my fears, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Working with cardboard boxes.
Try to draw the world inside my soul. See what's in the boxes in my heart.
Notice how the tapes in my head are playing the same tunes on and on.
( -I draw like shit-, -I'm a crap artist- )
Spend some time with my fears.

Take a breath, or maybe four.

But most of all, I enjoy the spring. The fresh green, the little flowers and the warm sunshine.
Energy for free :)

Lucky winner :)

Lucky winner :), originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Today at lunch I got a surprise, my price came in; a dvd about Kurt Weill. Lucky me.
I've won in a radioshow, Scala at WDR 5. The radio in the studio is always tuned on the WDR 5.

They descibed the life of a musician. It was Blixa Bargeld, being a long time Einstürzende Neubauten and Nick Cave fan I just had to send a mail.

Winning a price is so good for my playful soul,
and Kurt Weills music is healing food for all my souls.

I am a lucky winner, I already have won some great things; Versace sunglasses in a magazine ( they are so Italian putta, I just love them.) A one-day trip to London, books, I come home from witchcamps with lots of goodies won in the raffle.

But the best price was a hot-air balloon trip. To fly with the wind, carried by only air.The silence and clear hearing when the gas-flame was off. So magical.

May we all be lucky winners in our lives, love Elisa.

It's my 40th birthday :)

A fine day, and my wish is to always find time to play.

Just feeling happy,
love from my seven grey hair today :)

Take a peek in my little magic room.

And meet my new friends for my travels between the worlds.

We had a good time in her new studio and as a early birthday present I'm the proud owner of this work. I am so happy, feel like over the moon.
Josephine and Jacques will be my compagnions on my queste; be brave at 40 :)

Take it easy but be brave, Elisa.
