week 21... Ullared, a crazy place on earth!

Misch masch pics from our day at Ullared... It was so many people that it’s hard to imagination!

We end up at home later on, with my well-known fish soup... It was a great day!

a helping hand, my dad helps me with some IKEA stuff…

My parents visit me week 21…
It was really, really nice and sometimes I miss the family life…
But I also get satisfied very easily, so a few days am just nice, good and fine.

My dad is a good handyman and that I’m really grateful for!

Head From Hell
Acrylic on canvas by Tina Thomas
Created in Austin, Texas, ~1986-1990
Donated by Susan Grant

A blood curdling scream from the fires below. A lost soul cries out in agony, eyes upward, forever to be taunted by the reclining though erect Adonis just out of reach. This brilliant reworking of one of Art's oldest subjects -- recasting the cloven hoofed, behorned one into a youthful virile stud is a refreshingly original treatment of an age-old theme.

Paula Lindblom...

My latest brooch… Graffiti paint and glass beads.

Every layer is a person, that fascinated me a lot…
Urban jewellery made by many people.

another view of my creativity…

Sometimes I like to paint… this is a small aquarelle paint.

Slottsskogen by Janian Kurps eyes…

My friend Janina sent me these pics by e-mail. I’m grateful for all the pics friends send me, it’s always nice to see what’s going on and how others see the world and what they want to share…

I haven’t have the time to walk in Slottskogen by myself this spring, and that’s a shame, it’s a beautiful place and a lovely public park close by my home, so it feels like it wouldn’t be a big deal to put on my shoes and walk away for an hour or two…
