Tomorrow I’m off to work again after being sick this week; I hope my substitute not has created a complete mess in my classroom, but that I have to wait until tomorrow to see.
Do you remember the collage I wrote about, hmm, let see, one month ago! I finally finished it this week. It took some time, but I’m quiet satisfied with the result. I ended up only using paper and images, I have problems with adding colour to my collages, and it has become a barrier I can’t get true. Think I have to train so I don’t feel this barrier. But time, time… so much to do, and I sometimes being so bad at getting things done. This is the biggest collage I have made so far; it is 50*70 cm. And it fits well in my hall over the radiator where I have hanged it. There are a lot of famous women in the collage, do you see which? They are all beautiful and are or were really successful and famous. I could have added more of them, but felt satisfied with does I added. There is one I actually don’t know who she is, it just happened to be an old black and white photo in one of the newspapers I used. I have to find out who that lady were. And the Liza Minelli picture is a piece of a plastic bag from Lindex a Swedish clothes store. There is Ingrid Bergman, Greta Garbo, Madonna and Marilyn Monroe in the collage. Marilyn Monroe also reminds me of that I should have tried to finish the book Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates. I got stuck over a year ago when I tried to read it, and still are. I think it’s so cool that both Garbo and Bergman where from Sweden and became two really great actresses. . (I had problems with the light when I took the picture; it became a lot of shine from the glass.)
Yesterday I managed to finish my second Christmas gift; I will not show any pictures, some one maybe look here and see what I created. But I’m happy about how it became!
I was at a flea market today, I have bought something really, really nice. Something that totally is me, but I’m going to be secret about what it is until I have got it in place. Then I will show you all what it is. Oh, so fun to have secrets sometimes!
