FEATHER ISLANDS, LAND OF DREAMS







Is it a tail of a lion which colors all these mornings golden? As quickly as it comes just after the sun reaches above the tree tops, as quickly it also turns to a more colder and brighter color. Just moments. All those yellow polka dots in the trees I would like to protect from the asphalt and a rake with a piece of tape. To make them hang and sway through the winter.

The article that I illustrated tells about sleeping and good dreams. "Sleeping is not about being lazy, but a responsibility." Enough, but not too much while being in the feather islands.

Michael and Neil sent me a wonderful postcard, an original painting by them. Thank you so much!

Lunchtime. Clinking and clanking while a parsnip soup boils,

  12. Dear Paula,

    That makes me very happy! I do like your delicate work very much.



    Thank you dear Dia (:



    Dear Rima,

    So happy to have you hear! Some time ago I found your work through the animation about a doll that you did for Orla Wren. It is very very beautiful.

    Sunshine through yellow leaves to Dartmoor, and cups of tea.



    Dear Anne,

    There should be an one place in every downtown with big mattresses for everyone to be able to have a small nap in the middle of a day. I think it is a good idea.

    Hugs to you.



    Dear Amy,

    The slippers are a bit like the ones I inherited from my great aunt. They were red, without the bonbon and traveled with me a lot. After seeing Iceland for a year they didn´t make it anymore. Waiting to meet a new pair like them one day again.

    Thank you!



    Dear Holly,

    Thank you so much.



    Dear Char,

    Have a cup of tea indeed, breath deep and I will join you (:

    Hugs back to you of a golden Thursday.



    Dear Jennifer,

    Lovely to get reminded about baked apples in your blog. They will be made here sometime very soon, my balcony is filled with apples.

    Thank you for your kind words.



    Jaana-kultainen!

    Ihanaa kun kirjoitit. Kiitos paljon.

    Missäs oleilet? Olisi mukavaa taas kuulla.

    Terveisin Tampereen tuulista.



    Dear Kim,

    I did send you an email to answer your question. This image might not be as a print in my shop, but the original is for sale.

  15. how wonderful it must be carried away to dreamland in such a nest of feathers and colors, scents of earth and leaves must sublimate the dreams ...
    the small bedside lamp without telling me she has can be read before you fall asleep but where is his book and what he was talking about? may be a distant country and warm where you are friends with a fox
