For a while my blog brain has been really, really silent, so I’m going to treat you to collections of Instagram posts for those of you who don’t use that platform. Who knows, maybe my words will be jumpstarted along the way.
Today, spring flowers! It’s pretty cold out still, and I don’t think my vine and hydrangea can get out of winter storage until next month. But it looks pretty and full of hope.

Sikke da nogle flotte blomsterbilleder. Har du et super-kamera, eller er du bare god til at tage billeder?

Tak – jeg bruger et spejlerefleks, så det er nemmere at få den slørede baggrund som jeg er så glad for ved nærbilleder. Og ellers er der jo Photoshop….

Jeg har lige fundet ud af, hvordan man laver slørede baggrune med mit digitale kamera. Det lykkes langt fra her gang, men jeg elsker virkningen, når det gør. Photoshop (photoscape for mit vedkommende) er heldigvis opfundet, men mine hænder gør knuder efter lange sessioner med musen 😦

Those jewel coloured pieces pieces, in Chit Chat, are awesome! You need to do something with them. ( and I don’t necessarily mean, keep working on them)
The palette, the mark making.. all lovely. Could these be printed onto something or made into prints and sold in an Etsy shop or an online print shop? Printed as wrapping paper, maybe?
Just saying… you have so many beautiful jewel coloured beginnings, it would be a shame not to keep exploring the avenues, available, to be making an income from your art.
Your winter photos and landscape photography is also stunning… more prints, cards etc?

Thanks – I’m putting some of them on redbubble for now, I don’t have the finances to print and keep a stock myself, as my audience is too small. Once I have the energy to do “marketing” and in case there is interest, I’ll look into better prints. (incidentally I ruined the colours on these panels that the snippets came from, so progress photos are nice to have!)

It’s been pretty cold here too since I took the photos, looks like it won’t dial back up until May. But it sure looks nice and I’m enjoying the increase in daylight.

As you know- I love Instagram. Blogging takes time- and brain power. Instagram is so much easier and you can tell “ your story” simply.

Just saw your cool poppy animation (but can’t comment on the pc) – how’d you do that!?

HI Pia! Sorry-I just saw this. That is an Instagram story. If you click on your round profile picture you can create a story-it’s different from your regular posts.

I know stories, but you had a split screen that looked like torn paper and animation in the middle with other images around it.

Ah- that was created with an app. I have several photo editors and such. If you go to the app store you can find a few apps that can be used to create instagram posts or stories-or other such items for your blog. I think I used unfold for the “poppy in the barley field”. That was actually a combination of video and still footage.

your photos are just beautiful, so clear picture! Bluebells are one of my favorite flowers so adorable! How’s your knitting project going lately?

Thank you Ellie! I just finished a linen summer tunic, halfway to the armpits on another in the same type of yarn, but have slowed down I’m afraid. I also want to add some little embroideries which is why I haven’t posted anything, so thanks for reminding me! In fact I have a whole series planned in that yarn, so I better get cracking before the summer is suddenly out….

Hej Pia. Jeg håber du snart er tilbage i aktion igen. Jeg glæder mig til at høre nyt fra loft og mark 😉

Undskyld, jeg har simpelthen så svært ved at få hjernen i skrivegear igen! Desuden passer jeg hverken have eller tekstiler i år, og det er jo nok det, de fleste læsere forventer…

Hvad laver du så? – undskyld min nysgerrighed, jeg er sikker på at noget af det er værd at skrive om. La’ vær og tænke så meget på læserne, skriv for dig selv måske og et par venner. Min blog betragter jeg nærmere som en slags kombineret dagbog, idékatalog og fotoalbum. Når jeg ikke lige deltager i de der sjove udfordringer, som virkelig har fået min hjerne i skrivegear. God fornøjelse.

Jeg maler lidt og ellers sker der diverse på den personlige front som ikke er noget at snakke om, men dræner min koncentrationsevne. Men jeg skal gøre et forsøg, jeg lover!

Nogen gange er jeg bedre til at bruge Instagram, men kun sådan af og til. Du kan sagtens se og kommentere via PC, blot ikke uploade.

Jeg har skam en Instagram-profil, og følger dig også der 😉 Det er bare ikke det samme som en “snakkende” blogpost.

Jeg plejer ellers at skrive lidt til billederne, men der er ikke så mange som svarer eller lægger mærke til det tror jeg.
