TREASURE BOX





Words on a postcard, words on an envelope. Words handwritten in between words printed. Words coming through mailbox, in magazines, newspapers. Words on the radio. So many words put together, always a new meaning. Words through a phone, making me laughing.

For the words handwritten, I made a box to keep them safe. Knitting while layers of paint are drying. Small birds of summer forests have moved to the town and are now seeking for winter food in balconies and yards. No breadcrumbs, but maybe a pocketful of seeds secretly to the lilacs bushes of the yard (which is strongly forbidden).

Warm Wednesday thoughts,

Anna Emilia

  2. I love the illustration your working on, how you texture the swan with tiny little dots.
    P.s. I never knew there was a giant broccoli in the Aegean sea.

    Dear Jennifer,

    Actually it is not my illustration. It is a postcard I got from a friend. But I wish I had done it (:

    A broccoli in The Aegean sea is a new kind of plant (:

    ...

    Thank you dear Whitney! (:

    ...

    Dear Sandra,

    It is illegal to feed birds in this house. I guess the people does not want the birds to occupy the balconies. But I can do it secretly in the yard. Or in the town. Or in the forest. Or by the lake. Happy so!

  7. Dear Kerri-Ann,

    It is actually a combination of one grey and one light blue thread (: It is a pattern in Finnish called "pearl pattern", which is as simple as this: http://www.ullaneule.net/0110/kuvat/manuela_helmineule.png

    Hopefully you get your hands busy too with this, it is very relaxing!

    Happy weekend!

  8. I was moved by words today. One sentence in a book I was reading changed my entire day.
