  • Falling fall leaves ... . .............................. . [Friday night Film]* . . A week ago, Friday, playing into the cozy tradition of Friday night movies; I wanted to (attempt) to establish sharing Friday night movies . #willowdayfilm #sketch . Although it’s Saturday morning in Sweden, it’s still Friday night in another time zone and I decided to post this. . (—- As an ex-pat, time can be a little fluid in my mind —- conversations spread in different time zones really can expand the day —- thank you for indulging me ) . and ... hope this little sketch brings a little entertainment and sparks weekend inspiration! . .. . Happy weekend! ... . . . • PS: and yes, if you’re an old friend, I created this little film earlier and your déjà-vu is right! Thank for meeting me here and enjoying the simple beauty of the season. #alwaysastudent . . . . #myeverydaymagic #playmatters #sgiew_InspireAndCreate #sgiew #sgiew_autumn #autumnmood #photoshop
  • Just a typical Fall work table ... .. How can it already be Friday? This period between September 1 & the kid’s Fall break, coming soon in October, is an intense period of work for me. . . I have a nice, neat, desk work space that I haven’t even used since summer break. My work can get so “spacious” that it’s like I swim in a project and thought this work space might be fun to see. I have many new flora and fauna projects in the works... but, that’s a conversation for another day. .. I remembered that I had been photographed while working in the same spot the Spring (slide right) . . At that time, I was working on the ABC Flower Safari. #abcflowersafari . It’s really fun for me to see the flowers and colors to remember which exact pieces of work I was working on. Do you enjoy this process, too? . 2 down and maybe 2 to go? Could it be fun to add a Winter and Summer work life scene, too? .. #willowdayflowerproject . #abcflower . . #flowersmakemehappy #flowerflatlay #floral_simple_play #ginavideillustration
  • Nothing is ordinary . .. This is the hook for me when working with foliage. .. For every piece of street art I found this morning (stories), I saw an equal number of trees that looked like someone I knew or halted my cherished walk & talk time with my daughter to stuff my pockets with pine cones and leaves.... . There’s no sneezing, working by an open window on a breezy day or fast, broad, movements when I’m working with foliage; even clean up takes attention. ... . I’m trying to remember to take a video of an illustration in progress rather than taking one apart; but, I’m always feeling like it can look like grass growing & I tend to really get lost in the moment when I’m creating. Portraits, in particular, take time....and that puzzle is the fun for me. I think you can see a bit of the process here. . . Petal by petal. Blade of grass by blade of grass, placed one by one. . . #willowdayflowerproject .. . . ................... . . SIDE NOTE | PS: . “Tech” My husband was giving me a hard time this morning for working sooooo old school when I animate (yesterday’s “Red”) I basically use “flip book” technology and create every motion as a new page. I know... it’s slow. It’s cumbersome... (But, then again... I also made handmade paper that included petals from our wedding bouquets for the thank you notes for our wedding—- he knows..😅) . . So, I’m super curious. . if you animate or use iPad/computer for art —- and especially animate objets —- what programs do you use? . I’d love to hear what works for you? . I use @photoshop . . and “own” @procreate & have an Apple Pencil but rarely use them even though I Sketch (old school) daily. . I’d really like to experiment & to get comfortable with a tech solution this this winter. Have you ever taken a @skillshare class in animation? . . Enjoy the weekend!
  • “Little Red Riding” (in petals) . Happy Friday! . . I’ve been working so much with my hands, on my table top with delicate petals, flowers and paint this past month, that when I sat down at my computer this afternoon, I got lost in artwork I was uploading & got lost imaging “Little Red” walking through the “Leaf & Petal Forest” ; suddenly, realising that I’d worked straight through dinner prep. (Whoops! However, there is never a problem that Friday pizza + a movie can’t solve. ) In fact, the idea of Friday Night Movies is what prompted me to start this little film in the first place. I love the concept of Friday Movies for you + your littles. When I can, I’d love to meet you here again for a new Friday film.* . Happy Friday friends… #littleredridinghood #willowdayfilm * #willowdayfoxtales #willowdayflowerproject #stopmotion #photoshop
  • And, it’s a wrap. Goodbye, day. . .. “Life Is full of little pleasures. . “La vie est faite de petitis bonheur” “Livet är fullt av små nöjen.”. . At the end of the day, I comb through my table(s) for any bits and pieces I can still use, press, dry or keep as bouquets. All of these had come from our own lawn. Before the real cold arrives, the terrace is like a flower cooler ... . #willowdayflowerproject .
  • “No, I like you very much. Just as you are.”. —- Mr. Darcy to Brigit Jones. . . And . —- me, to these flowers on my table. . Beautiful “beginning” wishes: for the new month; a new year (it was my Hubby’s a birthday yesterday 💫❤️) and a new color palette for early Autumn days. Happy Oct 2. . #willowdayflowerproject . . #alliseeispretty #flowerpower #seasonspoetry
  • Hello October . . Wishing you a great start ! #willowdayflowerproject
