The storm / Islands

Hello! Here comes my drawing in Marias climate-theme moly-book. The climate-change is frightening and storms are some of the obvious consequences. It is an image of chaos, what it would be like if the worst thing would happen...and it is happening already in different parts of the world...
Islands

My second contribution to Marias book, embroidered spots on fabric. It started when I spilled coffee by accident on the fabric and after that I made some more spots and a hole on purpose and I really enjoyed making it. Islands seen from above or some kind of bacterias fighting in an environmental war. /Lisa

if you can´t see it, it´s not there...

...some arctic terns (sterna paradisaea, silvertärna in swedish) fly above a pattern of black lace , a kind of elder, with golden amulets...

why is your vision hidden?

Strange things happen

I was inspired by Lisa´s picture in Carina´s book about the home-theme. The girl you dont know if she would drown herself or if she was just washing her hair.

The unsure atmosphere and the possibilities for uncommon things happend in your normal apartment, request me to do this picture.

I started to work with my sewing machine to embroider.

Love instead of hate

Hello Mollyfriends!

I must start to Love the SaintPaula flower! Why? Because I can´t hate them. I baught one and then I bought once more. When i grow up I hated them. I have been hated them since September this year. I have always hated them. I told my mother I hated this ugly common flower who you can find everywhere. If I hate them they come after me trying to make me love them.

I took care of my nieghbours flower for the second summer this year. She has a lot of SaintPaulas. They forced me to love them.

There are a lot of other things in my life I must start to love too. Otherwise they will  come after you!

Fallen apples in my garden

Hallo friends! This is Lottas moly. She started with a painting inspired by old textiles. When I´ve made this picture I´ve been thinking of tapestry and painting.
It´s also a septemberpicture from my garden. Lots of fallen apples, to many to be able to eat them all.
It´s made with watercolorpencils and akrylicpaint on plastic sheets, fastened with eyelets.

Keyboard Keywords (Lisa's Moly)

Since I'm on a roll with the keyboard keys. I zoomed in a bit and made my letters for Lisa's Moly. Notice that J has less keywords for me than the others...strange. But maby there are less words starting with J in Swedish.

K - Coffee, cottage cheese, kiss, love, art, cookie dough, kids(children), driving licence, friend, career, money, maybe, capable, party, cross-stitch, cognitive, concept, catalyst, cramp, kitsch , cat.
L - read, Saturday, long, happiness, ridiculous, vivid, life, summer home, peace & quiet , fun, scarry, time of work, langett(stitch), lego, live, light, sound, lumen, temperament , learn.

Keyboard dreams (Lotta's Moly)

I don't think I need to give you many hints of what this sketch is all about :) Working a lot nowadays......dreaming of other things.
I was so concentrated on NOT sending this Moly to E until she arrives from Turkey, so I forgot to blog it :)

Yan...

...now and then Yin is somewhere else

Most of us want to "take care of Earth". I try my best, you probably do the same and eventhen it´s difficult to brake behavioural pattern...

Baltic Sea is one of the most threatened marine echosystem in the world; overfeed - nitrogen and phosphourus...

...it´s easy to relax in the sunshine, wondering about every day perspective of existensialism

This Moly belongs to Lisa, the book of ABC
translation:
greener on the other side
helth: state of helth
ignorance

Perfect life Perfect death

Finally I have completed my work in Carinas book and will post it tomorrow to you, Lotta! The first picture is a piece of embroidery on fabric. Inspired by Elizabets beautiful image of a kitchen sink, I also made a scene from a kitchen, almost a mirror image but not as pleasant. Home sweet hell, home as the scene of a crime. Is the women drowning herself in the sink or just washing her hair? The second picture is also a piece of embroidery but on paper. I left the threads uncut and unfastened. /Lisa

I LOVE Östersjön

In this moly with a climate-theme I have done two pictures about the pollution of the Baltic Sea - my neighbour! In the textile part the macroperspective and in the paper part the microperspective. Nodularia Spumigena is one of the cyanobacterials that causes the toxic bacterial bloom that prevent us from swimming in the sea the hotest days in the summer. "I LOVE Östersjön" (=I LOVE the Baltic Sea) is the name of an exhibition at the local museum about the Baltic Sea.

Here comes silverfishes and gooldfishes in the spirit of lace.
