Look at this wonderfull collage,-

would`nt it be fantastic to learn making something

like it yourself ?

If the answer is yes, you just have to go visit

KC WILLIS

and her

www.collagecamp.ning.com

When you are there you can go on to www.mixedmediamania.ning.com

learning about making alters and schrines.

And oh there is more possibilities,-KC`s new online teaching is

Marketing Mindset, with a redused price running till 8/1 -10

Futhermore a live workshop starts in the new year,

where many of the most fantastic mixed media artists will teach.

Unfortunately it is not in my hand to join a workshop in USA,

but I already joined the Collagecamp, and the Mixedmediamania,

and had lots of fun,--learned many of KC`s secrets, and found many

new friends.

wonderfull workshops to follow.

Hope you are having some good dayes here before the next

partyday, celebrating the new year.

Love and hugs, Dorthe

They flew away!!!

The beautifull dayes of christmas flew away, far too quickly, and that did the

little family too. Allthough they were here for 4 dayes, times run,run,run.

and before you can even think, we are wawing goodby again, --I miss them

But christmass decorations stayes a little longer, to be enjoyed, and to give the

beginning of the winter awaiting us, a little glow.

This is my french chandelier filled with wonderfull soldered ornaments, and glass ornaments


The beautifull glass ornaments I got before christmas as a present from dear Mette,
a sweet friend and costumer.
Her mother is making the glass, and Mette is decorating it.
Aren`t they just wonderfull.
I love them Mette,-thank`s so much for your dear gifts.


They all has a sweet text, and a bit of gold,and can be hung all the year round.

It is monday, and I`m going to my studio to clean up a bit, and try to organice all

the bits and pieces, laying all around.

I hope you are all well , and that you had some wonderfull christmas dayes.

Wishing you a great monday dear friends.

Love and hugs, Dorthe

Computer troubles-- MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi all dear friends

I`m having troubles here, no more place on my c-drive where all new updates

from Microsoft and everyone else are loading up......

Lots of place on my d-drive ????

So if you suddenly don`t hear from me for a while, that`s why.

A dear friend have promised to look at it ,but it can take some time.

So I`m going to wish all of you a very merry christmas time, and a happy new year.

I`m thanking all of you for a year full of wonderfull experienses, and beautifull friendships.

It means so very much to me.

Big love and hugs from me.

SEE YOU SOON

I love her!,-- and my first christmas decoration

When seeing this very tiny doll, put to sleep, in her beautifull "bed"

I had to have her.

My dear friend Nellie from Early Morning Thoughts had put her to sale

in HER SHOP , and I just "ran" to purchase this little wonder.

(sorry the pictures is a bit too light?

Look at this beauty ,-and I love the words ,together with this peacefull expression.

She will be with me for ever, dear Nellie--thankyou so much.

Thought I would show you my first decoration this year.

Seems I`m too bussy the last years to do something for in my home, untill we are long into December.

Here is a simpel decorated candle, on my dinnertable

And next to that, a white urn, with a white moss ball on top.

I had bought the moss many years ago, and now it was time to use it.

It is laid around a ball, and fastened with silver drath.

On top of the ball I placed a beautifull bird, made of Heather Pretty Petals

it is so lovely.



The wonderfull flowers, I got last spring ,from a very sweet costumer.
They have been used in many ballets in The Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.
And the big one here ,has been used in the Swan sea ballet.
Isn`t it fantastic? I´m only using them for special occations.



It is still not winter here, very warm for december,
------so strange.
Well I guess it will arrive this year too.

Wishing you all dear friends a wonderfull day, and evening.
Thanks so very much for every lovely and sweet comment on my blog.
Makes me happy.

A wonderfull packet from across the oceans

And this was inside, --a beautifull collage from JoAnnA Mosshill Studio.I knew at once when seing it ,that this was a very beautifull thing, and holdingit in my hands, it gives me a sense of tranquillity and times long gone by.

I love all the old materials ,so soft and worn, and I love how the green and red, gives ita wonderfull freshness, that makes it live.

It is ever so beautifull Joanna, I love it dear friend.

Wishing all of you a wonderfull evening, and to all my american friends, a very happy Thanksgiving.


Love and hugs, Dorthe
