I remember, there's been something... a blog, a weekly challenge...

puh, I can blow the dust off my blog ;-)

Best chance, to enter once more - i-fri: remember:

This pic 's for my grandma's birthday. It's inspired by a beautiful poem called "Flieder" (lilac says the dictionairy).

Flieder

Gänzlich unvorbereitet
steh ich da vor den
toren der kindheit:

Die dolden neigen sich flüsternd
über die zaunstaketen
ich spring an der hand
der großmutter über die
pfützen länder und meere
(armin strohmeyr)

It discribes a magic moment, when you experience your childhood memory lively.

Last october(!) I've been tagged by Beth. Well, it took some time, but I guess, I'm ready now, to give the answers. Here they come:

1. Papunella's the (virtual) embodiment of my creative side. My alter ego, so to speak. It's my pseudonym, to let my passions run wild.

2. In real life I work with kids, who are in crises, which sometimes leads me to enter in a state of crisis as well.

3. I use to demande a great deal of myself. I wanna give at least 100% in what I'm doing.

4. This sometimes leads to outcomes, I'm really proud of. But it also leads to exhaustion.

5. Especially, when I'm about to do everything at once. I've to force myself to do one step after the other.

6. I'm very curious. I wanted to become a detective, when I was a child.

7. I loved the "curiosity-show", which was about experimenting.

8. To discover, to give something a trial, to find connections and parallels, that's what I love.

9. I like the idea, that Papunella comes from "papillon". I like the slow but constant way they change.

10. I love to cook, smell and eat stewed apples in winter.

That's for the moment. (Trying to give 50 %, without getting a guilty conscience ;-) To be continued...

It's been quite a while since my last entry. In my job everthing went upside down, so that I didn't have time nor energy to take part. I didn't even finish my last submission...

I'm glad, I made it this time.

after my last week's "dream"-post, I thought I ran out of ideas, connected with "roots". Finally I gave it a try and doodled just for fun. This is it:



Unfortunatelly I ran out of time. I'm just able to post the "raw material" now. For the colored version check in later.
