Hello there,
Finally I am on my way with this project! I posted my book today! My book is an ABC-book about life from an existential /everyday perspective. In the first two drawings in the book I have chosen to draw in a symbolic way, images from my imagination that represent scenes from my life as it is at the very moment. I wanted the pictures to look like some kind of playing cards, like Tarot cards or something that has to do with destiny or prophesy.
I can´t wait to have Elizabet´s book in the mailbox so I can make my next drawing...to be continued /Lisa

weather belongs to the public space


I copy the way Carina put a piece of fabric in her sketchbook. MolyX16: choose either way you want to continue my Moly - use both surface of material or pick one!
I´m a cross-stitch lover and I can´t make art without that particular stitch shows up somewhere... I also like images of diagrams,curves, statistics...
My projects and artworks are more sculpture/installation like - the size of Moly is small and a challange, a funny one:)
The "demand" in my book is theme climate.
The picture above is a printed collage. I´m found of weather studies and like to work with one-year-projects. The idea with action over time with starts and ends also includes reflexions of persevering.

The picture text:
"everyone says... ...the weather is very strange"
to the right:
one third of the Swedes doesn´t worry about the climate threat

Now with beaded sushi rice

My moly has two parts; one part with the normal paper to drew on and one part with a long piece of fabric to make something textile on.
I have started with a comic type drawing of my "not so glamorous week" with title: "En diskbänksrealistisk vecka". If I translate this Swedish expression to English it would be close to; A kitchen-sink-realistic week :)
I scanned the images rather big so you can click on them to read the text.
This one here has an Enlish translation:
Here is my embroidered image on the fabric part of my moly.
now with beaded sushi...
I'm off to Elizabet.
The daylight was blue and strange today - I will post some better images tomorrow on my blogg:

shit, I´m a lazy-starter...

Dear sisters of MolyX16,
I have to start with a confession: 6th of May, at 14.09 pm - my moly is still not unpacked...
Things has been a mess and my computer is not as kind as I want
him - or if it´s a she - to be! But I´m on the track - ready for take-off.
I suppose I want to have a theme in my sketchbook, maybe the global warming. I`ll have to think and write back to you, see you!
/Maria

I started with yellow!










Just wanted you to know I'm on my way whith the moly. I started to paint my sides yellow to get rid of the scary white! I'm not sure how to continue this. I normally work in different materials as beads, cloth, wood, metal and thread so I'm a bit nervous whith just paper and a pen.

Carina, I look forward to recieve your moly with the "fabricpaper"...
