Art and it's many forms

Yesterday me and Sanna had plans to go see the Botanical garden but we had to reschedule and went to the art museum instead.

I'm not usually a person who enjoys watching paintings but I have to admit there were some interesting pieces.


"Map" by Anu Torikka

"St. Catherine of Alexandria" by Niccoló da Foligno

Got to see one of Edelfelt's most recognisable painting(or at least it's that in Finland).


"Virginie" by Albert Edelfelt

It's always time to have some fun.


Musician

Also found myself a new boyfriend ;)


Wolf statue at Joensuu market place

Dressing up

It's nice to travel somewhere and at the moment my location is Joensuu where I'm visiting my friend and summer co-worker Sanna.

We are both horror/crime scene genre freaks so most of my evenings here we have been watching Supernatural and other crime series. So now I'm obsessed with bacon burgers, folklore and 1967 Shevy Impala. :D


This is how the nights go

But it's not all we have been done. Yesterday we visited local museum Carelicum, North Karelian museum, where was exhibitions of theatre, Stone age and North Karelian history. All the exhibitions were interesting but probably most fun we had with the theatre one.....


Just like in the movies

Some wicked costumes

Ready to close up

Found my wings

Stone age shelter

Still have a few days here and tomorrow we are going to the Botanical Garden. Let's see if there is still some butterflies at this time a year.

To the kitchen

Finally starting to build my kitchen dollhouse after years of planning. Yay ^^



"Vasara ja nauloja koko rahalla..." And those foam cans and broomstick are for another project, which I will tell more about later.

This is probably going to be the biggest and most complex of my projects on scale to how many hours it's going to take to be totally done and how much I have to learn about building/electrifying dollhouse.

Kitchen's basic structure and scale I took from a book "The authentic Tudor and Stuart dolls' house" by Brian Long and changed it by adding a banquette hall and storage room. Inspiration for those I found here.

When your brain just explode

Have you ever had hundreds of ideas in your head all at the same time? Tens of crafts halfway done? Idea but you don't have skills to make it reality?

This is a story of few of those.
