Jeg har været frivillig i dag i Kirkens Korshærs genbrugsbutik i Køge. Vi har etableret et kreativt værksted midt i butikken, hvor kreative frivillige kan tjekke ind og skabe salgsbare varer ud af de råvarer, der findes i genbrugsbutikken.

Et moodboard af et moodboard

Jeg valgte i dag at lave den skønneste og super romantiske opslagstavle – som er et helt moodboard i sig selv.

DIY: Sådan gjorde jeg

Jeg fik et gammelt maleri i hænderne, og fandt gamle landkort og illustrationer af blomster, kornsorter og rådyr, hæklede sager, stofrester og broderier frem, og limede det hele på maleriet med vådrumsklæber.

Bagefter monterede jeg to neonpink mursnore vandret på maleriet, så man kan bruge det til opslagstavle. Enten til små beskeder til en selv, eller til videreudvikling af stemningen på opslagstavlen…

Ideelt havde opslagstavlen lidt mindre klemmer, men i dag var der kun de store klemmer til rådighed i genbrugsbutikken – og mit mantra er:

“Tag hvad du har, og få det bedste ud af det…”

Opslagstavlen er sat til salg i dag i butikken til 300 kr. Håber selvfølgelig, at den allerede er solgt i morgen :)

Kærlig hilsen Susanne

From painting to pimped pin board

I have been a volunteer today in Dan Church Social thrift store in Køge. We have made a creative studio in the middle of the shop where creative volunteers can check in and create products out of materials found in the recycling shop.

A mood board of a mood board

I chose today to make the most beautiful and super romantic pin board – which is a mood board itself.

DIY: That’s how I did

I found an old painting, old maps and illustrations of flowers, grains and deers, crocheted doileys, fabric and embroidery and glued it all on the painting.

Afterwards I installed two neon pink strings horizontally on the painting, so you can use it as a pin board or message board. Either for small messages to yourself, or for the further development of the mood board…

Ideally it would look fantastic with smaller wooden clips, but today there was only the big ones available in the charity shop – and my mantra is:

“Take what you have and make the best of it…”

The pin board has been put for sale today in the charity shop for 300 DKK. I hope of course, that it is already sold tomorrow :)

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne

MOODBOARD #64:
Gæk, gæk, gæk ¦ A sweet Danish Easter tradition

Jeg elsker årstidens traditioner…

Knapt har vi overstået fastelavn, før jeg begynder at kigge fremad mod påske. Palmesøndag falder først 13. april, så egentlig er der længe til, men i dag faldt jeg over noget fint lysegult silkepapir og min mormors takkede saks, og så måtte jeg lige hygge mig lidt…

Gækkebreve er traditionelt set sendt blandt voksne, og den danske skik havde sin storhedstid i den anden halvdel af 1800-tallet. Hyggeligt at tænke på, at traditionen er så gammel…

Post- og Tele Museet, der ligger i Købmagergade, har udgivet det skønne grøn-gule Go-card med et gækkebrev fra 1916 – og her på deres hjemmeside kan du læse en masse om den danske gækkebrevstradition.

Jeg er ikke sikker på, at dette gule gækkebrev holder helt til påske… For efter jeg har set, hvordan blandt andet Pia Doodlediem arbejder med artjournals, så kunne jeg sagtens finde på at bruge papirklippet i en collage, et smash eller min artjournal…

Hvad med dig, sender du stadig gækkebreve…?

Kærlig hilsen Susanne

A sweet Danish Easter tradition

I love seasonal traditions …

Barely have we finished the Danish carnival feast “Fastelavn” before I start looking forward to Easter. There is still 6 weeks until Easter, but today I found this nice bright yellow silk paper and my grandma’s old scissor, and then I had to just enjoy myself with a little papercut…

We have this very special tradition in Denmark where we send letters to each other before Easter, cut out in various shapes – and without telling who the letter is from. In stead we use dots for each letter in our name. Then the receiver have to guess from whom the letter is…

The unique Danish tradition had its heyday in the second half of the 1800’s – where adults sent letters to each other, but now the letters are mostly sent from children to especially grandparents –  still I like the tradition very much – and I really love the thought about that the tradition is so old…

I ‘m not sure that this yellow papercut stick around until Easter… For after I have seen how, among others, Pia Doodlediem is working with her artjournals, I might use the papercut in a collage, a smash or my artjournal…

What about you, have you ever sent or recieved a Danish Easter letter?

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne

MOODBOARD #63:
Ta-dah: Flyvefærdige uglecollager ¦ Ready made owl collages

Velkommen til verden

Hils på Johanne og Svend, to skønne tvillinger, som kom til den virkelige verden 21. februar 2014.

Uglecollagerne er en gave til tvillingernes mor fra min barndomsveninde Susanne.

Og det er ikke en hvilken som helst Susanne, for det er hende, som er “mor” til de to første ugler, jeg skabte, til hendes børn Rose og Lucca tilbage i 2011.

Siden da, er det blevet til mange flere uglecollager – nogle med og nogle uden navn.

Det er ren meditation for mig at lave uglecollagerne

Jeg hygger mig virkelig med at lave collagerne. Ren meditation at sidde og udvælge det rette papir og klistre små papirtunger på et stort A3 ark – og snakke med dem, når de skal have øjne, ører, næb og vinger, for at finde ud af, hvilken personlighed de skal have…

Disse to uglecollager er forholdsvis ens, da det jo er tvillinger – og jeg fandt det lækreste gamle håndmalede retrotapet i turkis og lilla, som binder uglerne sammen – det er også det tapet, som jeg har valgt til uglernes ører. Klippet som blomster til pigen og som stjerner til drengen.

Egentlig har en ugle ikke synlige ører, men hornuglen har horn, og det er dem, som man oftest afbilleder, når man skal lave en ugle…

Bare et lille stemningsbillede, for at afrunde ugleproduktionen, som jeg startede på for et par uger siden. I dag er uglecollagerne forenet med deres nye mor.

Kærlig hilsen Susanne

Ready made owl collages

Welcome to the world

Meet Johanne and Svend, two sweet twins who came into the real world 21 February 2014.

The owl collages are a gift to the twins’ mother from my childhood friend Susanne.

And it’s not any Susanne, ’cause she is the “mother” of the first two owls I created for her children Rose and Lucca back in 2011.

Since then, I have made many more owl collages – some with and some without a name.

It is pure meditation for me to make the owl collages

I’m having a great time making the collages. It is pure meditation to select the right paper and glue small paper tongues on a large A3 sheet – and talk to the owls when they need to have eyes, ears, beak and wings, to find out which personality they will have…

These two owl collages are relatively similar, as they are ment to be twins – and I found this delicious old hand-painted retro wallpaper in turquoise and purple, which ties the owls together – it’s also the wallpaper, which I have chosen for the owls ears. Cut as flowers for the girl and stars for the boy.

Actually, an owl has not visible ears, but a horn owl has horns, and they are the ones that you most often depicts, when making an owl…

Just a little mood board picture to finalize the owl production, which I started a few weeks ago. Today the owl collages was united with their new mother.

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne
