Poetry, Ukulele and Beyond

I'm taking a creative writing course this semester, and have been asked to write poems for an anthology our department is going to publish next year (I also did the poster for the anthology, which you should find in some bookstores/cafes in Stockholm and in Stockholm University).

Poetry hasn't been my favorite medium of expression - I always prefer stories and visual art, and when I started to write I realized that almost all of my poems are about music, or are inspired by songs.

However, I never mastered any musical instruments. So I bought a ukulele last week, and have been playing/practicing ever since. For now I'm making a lot of noises, but I've never felt so close to... music.

(This stamp is not for sale, but do let me know if you want a similar stamp with you and a musical instrument 'cause I would love to make one for you.)

Deer and Stamps

The second snow this year fell this morning. I was making tea in the kitchen when I saw this roe deer in the our back yard.

We have deers visiting almost every winter. A couple of nights ago I opened my window and saw a unicorn staring at me in the darkness...

Here are a few stamps (and yes, my third unicorn stamp already) I made yesterday. Gonna list them later in the shop!

The Unbearable Darkness of Being

It's been unbelievably dark since the beginning of this month, and people (including me) are now stocking up candles for the long winter. The past few weeks have been so busy for me that I have more than 10 new stamps but absolutely no time to list them. When I'm finally less busy in the afternoon/evening, the poor lighting would make it impossible to take a decent picture of anything...

However, the good news is that if you have the patience to wait till this Sunday, a whole bunch of stamps are gonna be listed in my shop:D
