No time to paint but ...

... finally started to reorganize my art room and got rid of a lot of unnecessary stuff that I kept way to long! 
So you have to wait a little longer for new updates on the painting!
I also inscribed for a new online workshop from someone I 'met' at Suzi's Academy: Natalie Neumann. The workshop is called: Woman and their Unicorn. Information about this workshop you can find on her website Vanillery Garden.

This is one of the projects we are going to make:


1) The Unicorn Bible: This will be your own personal illustrated book. Learn how to bind it, how to make paper look old and aged, how to illustrate unicorns with a pen in the old fashioned way and how to make a layout for every page. I will teach you calligraphy and how to make those beautifully adorned initial letters, like the monks in mid-century times used to do. The Manuscript will have a leather book cover with golden decorations and your own personal title to it.

Had some time to paint today so ...

... here is what I painted!

First I glued down the faces with gel medium.

Here I added the carriage and horses that I printed on paper. I will glue them down permanently in a later stage of the painting. 

Then I painted the bodies with a flesh color and finally ...

... I painted the sky and a little bit into the sea. It's not done by far but it gives you an impression about the making of this painting.
Have a nice weekend!

New painting in process!

Finally started to work on my last painting for the La Sirena workshop from Suzi Blu. I first made a sketch on a small paper and then drew it on the canvas. 

I then used spray bottles with acrylic paints, glimmer mist and lots of water to make the background. I made several layers! 

After that I blocked out the figures, castle, sun, fish and starfish. I decided to use a printed picture of a carriage with horses to work with in a later stage so I didn't need to block out the carriage and horses that I drew.

I have started to work on the faces which will be collaged on the painting very soon.

Make sure to come back next week to see where this painting is heading! 

She got lost

You can loose your own true self in so many ways and get lost. But can you see that she's swimming out of the seaweed? Soon she'll be in the open water and free to move around as she pleases! That's where I'm heading too!


Yes, this page is about me. I felt lost for many, many years until I learned that I was suffering from PTSS (or PTSD) and was treated with EMDR. After this treatment I started to feel better and I'm still growing (with ups and downs).

PS: The lighter spot on her bra is the rainbow light of a crystal hanging in front of my window. 

Wood burned box

This lovely mermaid box used to be an old cigar box. 

It was a little bit difficult to work on because it's not as smooth as birch plywood.

After wood burning.

Front view of the box. I'm keeping all my colored pencils in it!

Primitive angels

Another mixed media painting on wood from a Suzi Blu workshop called Angels. 

Yes, it's wood burned first! 

A view from the left. My sweetheart made me lots of nice frames to work on! 

My first Petite Dolls on wood

This was my very first Petite Doll I made after I found Suzi Blu on the web in 2008. 

Soon after I had finished my first mixed media painting I made this Oriental princess.

And here they are together.
