Hyllyt ovat täynnä mitä ihmeellisimpiä vimpaimia ja mutikoita, joista suurimman osan käyttötarkoitus on minulle täysin hämärän peitossa. Mutta hyvät työkalut ovat kyllä kaiken kunnollisen tekemisen a ja o - ilman niitä tulee niin rakentelusta, korjaamisesta kuin askartelustakin vain kireitä hermoja ja huonoja tuloksia. Tein tämän työkalusivun päiväkirjaani, ja osallistun sillä &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Collage Obsessionin&lt;/a&gt; tämän viikon haasteseen.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love all kinds of tools, and the best shopping I know is to go to a hardware store. There the shelves are full of all kinds of fascinating tools and stuff - half of them such that I don't have any idea what they are meant for. But good tools are essential in all kinds of assemblage and repair and crafting projects, and without them everything is just sweat and tears and total disasters. I made this page of tools in my journal, and it's my entry for the &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt; challenge this week.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-7017091213383731254?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/7017091213383731254/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2012/01/collage-obsession-tyokalut-tools.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7017091213383731254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7017091213383731254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2012/01/collage-obsession-tyokalut-tools.html' title='Collage Obsession: Työkalut / Tools'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TnjtBSO57-E/TyV9JhX-djI/AAAAAAAAA8A/QxlOgGEdCxg/s72-c/Tyokalusivu.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-8392703335718972081</id><published>2012-01-19T20:47:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-19T20:47:34.361+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perhoset'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='butterflies'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession: Tanssi / Dance</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TLJjoVxfzVA/TxhiIhYGPMI/AAAAAAAAA7w/B4NF99iulFQ/s1600/Tanssivat_perhoset.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TLJjoVxfzVA/TxhiIhYGPMI/AAAAAAAAA7w/B4NF99iulFQ/s320/Tanssivat_perhoset.gif" width="318" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pihaa peittää puoli metriä lunta, joten ulkona ei voi tehdä paljon mitään (paitsi lapioida sitä lunta...). Niinpä aloin siivota pöytälaatikoitani ja löysin nämä nätit perhostarrat. Muistin, että &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/01/dance.html"&gt;Collage Obsessionin&lt;/a&gt; tämän viikon haaste (jonka on laatinut Tiffany) on "Tanssi", ja ajattelin että nämä perhoset voivat muodostaa ihanan tanssiryhmän Mustan Päiväkirjani sivulle. Kesään on vielä nelisen kuukautta, mutta odottamista helpottaa, kun tekee välillä tälläisia söpöjä kesäkuvia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;There's half a meter of snow everywhere around my house, so there's not much I can do outside (except shoveling snow...). So I started to organize my drawers and found these pretty butterfly stickers. I remebered that the &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/01/dance.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt; challenge (posted by Tiffany) for this week is "Dance" and I immediately thought that these butteflies would make a wonderful dancing party on one of my Black Journal pages. Summer is still four months away, but it helps me when I can make some beautiful images about summer...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-8392703335718972081?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/8392703335718972081/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2012/01/collage-obsession-tanssi-dance.html#comment-form' title='4 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/8392703335718972081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/8392703335718972081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2012/01/collage-obsession-tanssi-dance.html' title='Collage Obsession: Tanssi / Dance'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TLJjoVxfzVA/TxhiIhYGPMI/AAAAAAAAA7w/B4NF99iulFQ/s72-c/Tanssivat_perhoset.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-1697937818113366199</id><published>2011-12-18T22:15:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-18T22:15:15.940+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kynttilät'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='candles'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession: Candles</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1V741F-GQZ0/Tu5H0VSgdmI/AAAAAAAAA7U/IZYnbHBtkdE/s1600/Kynttilat.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="161" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1V741F-GQZ0/Tu5H0VSgdmI/AAAAAAAAA7U/IZYnbHBtkdE/s320/Kynttilat.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Tähän aikaan vuodesta kynttilöitä tulee poltettua joka päivä - eihän tätä pimeyttä muuten kestä. Tein kynttilöistä tällaisen aukeaman mustaan "Kaamospäiväkirjaani". Kynttilät on myös aiheena alkavan viikon "&lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;" -haasteessani. Tee siis sinäkin jokin kynttilä-aiheinen juttu ja osallistu sillä leikkiin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;At this time of the year I light candles every evening - how else coud I survive this darkness. I made this collage of candles on a spread of my "Black Journal". Candles is also the theme of my "&lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;" challenge for the coming week.

As we are approaching the darkest season of the year, all I dream about - night and day - is Summer. I so much long to spend beautiful days by the lake, rowing and swimming, looking at the water changing colours, and admiring the wonderful sunsets.

Minulle tuli mieleen, että korttipakassahan on jokaisessa maassa 13 korttia, ja niinpä tein oman kollaasini käyttäen tätä ajatusta. Skannasin korttipakan ja liimasin sen vihreäksi maalaamalleni altsukirjan aukemalle. Teksti "Kolmastoista luku" oli valmiina sivulla. Numerot 1 ja 3 ovat peräisin Rianilta - kiitos hänelle!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;This week &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/09/collage-obsession-number-13.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt; challenges us to make art dealing with the number 13. It came to my mind that there are 13 cards in each suit of the card deck, and so I used this idea in my piece. I painted a spread of my altered book art journal with green paint and added the scanned and printed cards on the pages. The text in the frame says "Chapter thirteen", and that was on the page originally. The digits 1 and 3 are from Rian - thank you! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-2697768130055562020?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/2697768130055562020/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/collage-obsession-number-13.html#comment-form' title='6 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2697768130055562020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2697768130055562020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/collage-obsession-number-13.html' title='Collage Obsession: Number 13'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-izOxw5TNhII/Tn-ifdsxNMI/AAAAAAAAA6s/r7-JaeWfmlc/s72-c/Luku_13.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-2253149955849785646</id><published>2011-09-22T21:22:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-22T21:23:07.051+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brick wall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tiiliseinä'/><title type='text'>Three Muses: Doorways / Oviaukkoja</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Lq561uzw-rY/Tnt62sBgTzI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/eAlWPA9Bkrc/s1600/Doorway1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="226" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Lq561uzw-rY/Tnt62sBgTzI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/eAlWPA9Bkrc/s320/Doorway1.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d7QHESphwp8/Tnt64QlHfiI/AAAAAAAAA6c/88uP5enp178/s1600/Doorway2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="226" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d7QHESphwp8/Tnt64QlHfiI/AAAAAAAAA6c/88uP5enp178/s320/Doorway2.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2011/09/three-muses-doorways.html"&gt;Kolme Muusaa&lt;/a&gt;" antoivat tällä viikolla haasteen aiheeksi "Oviaukot".

My materials for this collage included one sheet of brick wall designed crafting paper and the catalogue of a garden shop.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-2253149955849785646?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/2253149955849785646/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/three-muses-doorways-oviaukkoja.html#comment-form' title='4 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2253149955849785646'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2253149955849785646'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/three-muses-doorways-oviaukkoja.html' title='Three Muses: Doorways / Oviaukkoja'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Lq561uzw-rY/Tnt62sBgTzI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/eAlWPA9Bkrc/s72-c/Doorway1.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-8047283147002302484</id><published>2011-09-20T21:28:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-20T21:29:03.728+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Take a Word'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miehet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='men'/><title type='text'>Take a Word: Male / Mies</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-py50FJY4kuk/TnjX7aeJPhI/AAAAAAAAA6M/3lU-jq38UQk/s1600/Mies_ja_puutarha.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="224" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-py50FJY4kuk/TnjX7aeJPhI/AAAAAAAAA6M/3lU-jq38UQk/s320/Mies_ja_puutarha.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"&lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-47-male.html"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;" -haasteen aiheena on tällä viikolla "Mies". Puutarha-aiheinen altsukirjani on melkein valmis, ja halusin nyt käyttää takakannen sisäpuolen kuvituksessa tätä hienoa vanhaa kuvaa, jonka olen joskus saanut lahjana jostain blogista, mutta valitettavasti olen unohtanut sen alkuperän - joka tapauksessa kiitos lahjoittajalle! Aloin kuvitella, mitä tämä mietteliäs mies haluaisi omaan puutarhaansa, ja kokosin sivulle joitain mielestäni miehekkään näköisiä yksityiskohtia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;My altered book journal "Garden" is almost finished, and now I wanted to decorate the inside of the back cover. I wanted to use this wonderful old image, which I have got as a freebie from some blog, but I'm really sorry that I have forgotten where I got it from - but thank you anyway! I started to imagine what kind of things this thoughtful looking gentleman would like to have in his garden, and so I collected on the opposite page some elements that I think look quite "male". This spread is my entry for "&lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-47-male.html"&gt;Take a Word's&lt;/a&gt;" this week's challenge "Male".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-8047283147002302484?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/8047283147002302484/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-male-mies.html#comment-form' title='5 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/8047283147002302484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/8047283147002302484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-male-mies.html' title='Take a Word: Male / Mies'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-py50FJY4kuk/TnjX7aeJPhI/AAAAAAAAA6M/3lU-jq38UQk/s72-c/Mies_ja_puutarha.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-7363799984917643044</id><published>2011-09-14T20:46:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-14T20:46:33.807+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='syksy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leaves'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lehdet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autumn'/><title type='text'>Three Muses: Autumn / Syksy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lL8MMyDl5EU/TnDmT8S1tqI/AAAAAAAAA6I/fhEGwxToAnU/s1600/Autumn2011.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="224" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lL8MMyDl5EU/TnDmT8S1tqI/AAAAAAAAA6I/fhEGwxToAnU/s320/Autumn2011.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Syksy merkitsee minulle ennen muuta värejä - kirkkaista keltaisista ja punaisista raskaisiin ruskeisiin ja harmaisiin. Tämä syksy-kollaasi on aukeama altsukirjastani ja osallistun sillä "Kolmen Muusan" viikon haasteeseen, jonka aiheena on tietenkin syksy. Lehdet ovat peräisin pihaltani, yläkulmien kuvat ovat Cemeronylta ja Elegialta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For me autumn has always meant colours - from the bright yellows and reds to the heavy browns and greys.

Puutarhassani (josta tämä altsukirjani kertoo) onkin paljon perhosia, sillä se on ns. perhospuutarha - toisin sanoen olen laiska leikkaamaan ruohoa ja kitkemään rikkaruohoja, joten pihassani kukkivat kaikenlaiset kukat ja niitä perhoset rakastavat. Perhoset ovat mielestäni niin kauniita, että voin kesällä istuskella pihassani pitkät tovit vain katselemassa perhosten lentelyä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-45-butterflies.html"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'s challenge theme for this week is "Butterflies", and this spread from my altered book art journal "Garden" is my entry for the challenge. In my garden there are lots of butterflies, because it is a so called "Butterfly garden" - which means that all kinds of flowers grow there because I'm lazy in lawn mowing and weed picking. The butterflies love my flowers, and I love the butterflies, and in the summer I can just sit in my garden watching the beauty of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-939701897253695539?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/939701897253695539/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-butterflies-perhoset.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/939701897253695539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/939701897253695539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-butterflies-perhoset.html' title='Take a Word: Butterflies / Perhoset'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-98paleeRbiM/TmejYVaUWmI/AAAAAAAAA6E/jlEkx7NKKvA/s72-c/Butterflies_2011.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-779601546260916781</id><published>2011-08-31T19:10:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-31T19:19:11.086+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sanomalehti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='newspaper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kukat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flowers'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Newspaper / Sanomalehti</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5g4e94R4GWE/Tl5dQdD1_YI/AAAAAAAAA58/kPBsSQzuvP4/s1600/Newspaper.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5g4e94R4GWE/Tl5dQdD1_YI/AAAAAAAAA58/kPBsSQzuvP4/s400/Newspaper.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647053520029220226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sanomalehdet ovat mahtavaa materiaalia kollasien tekemiseen.

In late summer and early autumn, when the green leaves start to turn red&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; the nature is at its most brilliant.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On this spread from my altered book journal I have depicted this colour changing season, and this is my entry for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/complementary-colors.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'s this week's challenge, which is about complementary colours and their proportions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-5277615860146127286?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/5277615860146127286/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/08/collage-obsession-complementary-colors.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/5277615860146127286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/5277615860146127286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/08/collage-obsession-complementary-colors.html' title='Collage Obsession: Complementary Colors / Vastavärit'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAgas-JzrAQ/Tl0uwBiFw-I/AAAAAAAAA50/Cvuv-SEYipw/s72-c/Vastavarit.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-154688774665405330</id><published>2011-08-24T11:30:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T11:44:13.631+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='juuret'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kukat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flowers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roots'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession: Roots / Juuret</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xYFnMoFmID4/TlS2-b_OJiI/AAAAAAAAA40/bf1cIkd6InI/s1600/Roots.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xYFnMoFmID4/TlS2-b_OJiI/AAAAAAAAA40/bf1cIkd6InI/s400/Roots.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644337416783144482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Olen varma, että puutarhassani kasvavat kukat viettävät hyvin salaperäistä maanalaista elämää, sillä ne osaavat liikkua. Yhtenä vuotena jokin laji kasvaa tässä, mutta seuraavana vuonna se on siirtynyt tuonne. Jokin laji saattaa olla kadoksissa monta vuotta ja ilmestyä sitten yhtäkkiä uudestaan. Tällä puutarha-aiheisen altsukirjani aukeamalla olen yrittänyt arvailla, mitä siellä maan alla oikein mahtaa tapahtua. Tällä kuvalla myös osallistun &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/collage-obsession-roots.html"&gt;Collage Obsessionin&lt;/a&gt; haasteeseen, jonka aiheena on "Juuret".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm sure that the flowers which grow in my garden live a very mysterious underground life, because they can move. One year a certain species grows here, but the next year it has moved over there. Some species can be a no-show for many years and the suddenly reappear. On this spread from my altered book garden journal I have tried to guess what's going on down there underground. This image is also my entry for &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/collage-obsession-roots.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;'s  challenge "Roots".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-154688774665405330?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/154688774665405330/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/08/collage-obsession-roots-juuret.html#comment-form' title='8 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/154688774665405330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/154688774665405330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/08/collage-obsession-roots-juuret.html' title='Collage Obsession: Roots / Juuret'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xYFnMoFmID4/TlS2-b_OJiI/AAAAAAAAA40/bf1cIkd6InI/s72-c/Roots.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-4870810392520261417</id><published>2011-07-28T21:34:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-07-28T21:50:15.430+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft products'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kide'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='myymälä'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='käsityötuotteet'/><title type='text'>Kiirettä pitää... / Being busy...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EA9TbTkVOs0/TjGsB4eNyRI/AAAAAAAAA4M/7BKDjC-hTtw/s1600/Kuva0822.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EA9TbTkVOs0/TjGsB4eNyRI/AAAAAAAAA4M/7BKDjC-hTtw/s400/Kuva0822.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634473757156165906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ompelukoneeni on laulanut ja sakseni ovat suihkineet viime aikoina, kun olen ahkerasti valmistanut tuotteita meidän &lt;a href="http://www.osuuskuntakide.fi"&gt;Kide-osuuskunnan&lt;/a&gt; uuteen myymälään, joka avataan ensi viikolla 5.8.

But time has existed much longer, incomprehensibly longer, and there still are things and creatures wich lived on earth before mankind was born - like tortoises.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Some things just don't change. I made this collage to be used as the front cover image in one of the journals I'm making (the back cover image is in the end of this posting). This collage is also my entry for &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/06/time.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;'s challenge.&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It's a long time since I posted anything on my blogs, and I apologize for this silence (I've had troubles with my health wich has turned from average to poor). But I'll try to post more often from now on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kun puhumme ajasta, ajattelemme tavallisesti tunneissa ja päivissä ja kuukausissa ja vuosissa mitattavaa aikaa. Aika on kuitenkin ollut olemassa jo käsittämättömän paljon kauemmin, ja vieläkin on olemassa asioita ja olentoja, jotka olivat maapallolla jo ennen ihmisen syntyä - kuten kilpikonnat. Jotkut asiat eivät vain muutu. Tein tämän kollaasin valmistamani muistikirjan kansikuvaksi, ja osallistun sillä &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/06/time.html"&gt;Collage Obsessionin&lt;/a&gt; tämänviikkoiseen haasteeseen (tosin erittäin myöhässä). Tuolla alempana on vielä toinen kollaasi, jonka tein samaisen muistikirjan takakanneksi. - Käsittämättömän kauan on myö siitä, kun olen viimeksi postannut jotain blogeihini. Pyydän anteeksi tätä vaikenemistani, mutta sillä on syynsä (minulla on ollut terveysongelmia - terveyteni on muuttunut kohtalaisesta huonoksi).

Tein päiväkirjan sivujen taustat etukateen valmiiksi kotona (katso postaukseni 1.4. "&lt;a href="http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/04/matkapaivakirja-helposti-ja-nopeasti.html"&gt;Matkapäiväkirja helposti ja nopeasti&lt;/a&gt;"). Tällä aukeamalla kerron matkustamisesta Maltan paikallisbusseilla - noilla mainioilla keltaisilla ajoneuvoilla, joista osa on todellisia vintage-aarteita. Malta on pieni maa ja paikallisbusseilla pääsee joka paikkaan. Ja mikä parasta: matkan hinta on 47 senttiä. - Tällä aukeamalla osallistun &lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/2011/04/take-word-challenge-25-travel.html"&gt;Take a Wordin&lt;/a&gt; haasteeseen, jonka aiheena on "Matka".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is one spread from my Malta travel journal. I made the backgrounds of the pages beforehand (see my entry from April 1. "&lt;a href="http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/04/matkapaivakirja-helposti-ja-nopeasti.html"&gt;Travel Journal Quick and Easy&lt;/a&gt;"). On this spread I tell about traveling with the Maltese local buses - those wonderful yellow vehicles, some of which are real vintage treasures. Malta is a small country, and you can get anywhere with a local bus. And what is best: the cost is 47 cents for a ride. - This spread is my entry for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/2011/04/take-word-challenge-25-travel.html"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'s challenge "Travel".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-5256246925711734496?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/5256246925711734496/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/04/take-word-travel-matka.html#comment-form' title='7 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/5256246925711734496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/5256246925711734496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/04/take-word-travel-matka.html' title='Take a Word: Travel / Matka'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pl_zqk_Z5GQ/TaxcKRzw2KI/AAAAAAAAAx4/fgJpzNIEJsM/s72-c/Bus_Travel_in_Malta.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-787469901353108522</id><published>2011-04-01T17:08:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2011-04-13T19:50:18.963+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kukat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flowers'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession: Backgrounds / Taustoja</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yO5M92U4oZw/TZXckEjJoYI/AAAAAAAAAxw/f5CrBocNnS4/s1600/Backgrounds_Lupine.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 392px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yO5M92U4oZw/TZXckEjJoYI/AAAAAAAAAxw/f5CrBocNnS4/s400/Backgrounds_Lupine.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590617024704913794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Katselen, kun lumi sulaa pihalla, ja kuuntelen, kun sade ropisee kattoon - ja odotan kesää!

Maalasin akryyliväreillä akvarellipapereita toiselta puolelta vihreiksi (kesä!) ja toiselta puolelta sinisiksi (Välimeri!). Sitten koristelin sivuja leimaamalla (kuplamuovilla, reikäpahvilla, aaltopahvilla, vessapeprirullalla) ja liimaamalla niihin lautasliinakuvia. Viimeiselle sivulle liimasin Tyvek-kirjekuoren ylimääräisiä kuvia ym. varten. Sitten taitoin paperit kahtia ja sidoin sivut yhteen tekemällä kirjan selkään viisi reikää ja ompelemalla kirjan kokoon korunyörillä. Kun sivut on näin "aloitettu", niihin on mukava alkaa kirjoittaa ja kerätä kaikenlaista matkan varrella mukaan tarttuvaa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm going to fly to Malta for a short stay, and I made a travel journal base for it. I painted several aquarelle papers with acrylic paints, green on one side (summer!), blue on the other side (the Mediterranean!). Then I decorated the pages by stamping (with bubble wrap, cardboard with holes, corrugated cardboard, toilet paper rolls) and by glueing napkin images on them. On the last page I glued a Tyvek envelope for extra images e.g. Then I bended the papers on the middle and binded the pages together by making five holes in the back of the book and sewing the book together with cord. When the pages are "started" like this, it's nice to start writing on them and collecting all kinds of stuff on them while travelling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-7080664207908133793?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/7080664207908133793/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/04/matkapaivakirja-helposti-ja-nopeasti.html#comment-form' title='3 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7080664207908133793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7080664207908133793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/04/matkapaivakirja-helposti-ja-nopeasti.html' title='Matkapäiväkirja helposti ja nopeasti / Travel Journal quick and easy'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A5yjzga6J4U/TZXXaLd4AFI/AAAAAAAAAxo/Ueh2-M4d-ck/s72-c/Travel_Journal_1a.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-8603688332546315769</id><published>2011-03-21T11:26:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T11:36:14.004+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='windmills'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tuulimyllyt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Take a Word'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>Take a Word: Architecture / Arkkitehtuuri</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ytNA3uPTI8/TYcaDVwF1VI/AAAAAAAAAwg/bl20xP5sYDo/s1600/Arkkitehtuuri.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ytNA3uPTI8/TYcaDVwF1VI/AAAAAAAAAwg/bl20xP5sYDo/s400/Arkkitehtuuri.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586462507457172818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Puutarhassani on yksi "arkkitehtoninen" elementti, nimittäin punainen pienoistuulimylly.

I must say that it is the most inspiring  book about mixed-media art that I've read for a long time. In the book there are articles by Pam herself and by many other distinguished mixed-media artists. The book's intention is to encourage everyone, who feels the artistic flame inside her/him, to believe in her/himself and grab the materials and tools and start making art. It also gives hints of how to find time for art-making in the busy working days. Pam has included in the book instructions for several projects (making backgrounds, collages, papier-mâché pieces, painting techniques etc.). Through the book runs the project "Seven-Day Journal", which is so inspiring that I just had to grab my colours and papers and tools and start an art journal with Pam's instructions. This happened on a very good time for me, because I've been feeling very tired and uninspired for the last few weeks because I'm on a sick leave after a toe operation. Making this journal really woke me up and lifted my spirits (Thank you, Pam!). Below there are two photos of my journal at its present stage, after background painting, collaging and stamping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sain juuri luettua Pam Carrikerin kirjan "Art at the Speed of Life" (Interweave Press 2010). Se on pitkään aikaan innostavin ja antoisin lukemistani mixed-media-taiteen oppaista. Pamin itsensä lisäksi kirjaan ovat kirjoittaneet artikkeleita monet alan taiteilijat. Kirjan tavoitteena on rohkaista jokaista, joka tuntee sisällään taiteen tekemisen paloa, tarttumaan työhön ja uskomaan itseensä. Se myös antaa vinkkejä siitä, miten kiireisten työpäivien lomaan voi sovittaa hetkiä oman luovuuden ilmaisemiselle. Pam on sijoittanut kirjaan ohjeita useiden erilaisten projektien toteuttamiselle (taustojen tekemistä, valokuvakollaasi, paperimassatyö, maalaustekniikoita ym.). Kirjan läpi kulkee projekti "Seven-Day Journal" eli taidepäiväkirja viikossa. Tämä kirja ja projekti oli niin innostava, että tartuin itsekin työhön ja aloitin oman kirjani. Se sattui todella hyvään vaiheeseen elämässäni, sillä olen ollut aika väsynyt ja mitään-aikaan-saamaton jo jonkin aikaa kun olen viettänyt kotosalla sairaslomaa varvasleikkauksen jälkeen - tämän päiväkirjan tekeminen sai minut taas innostumaan asioista. Tässä on pari kuvaa kirjastani tässä vaiheessa - taustojen maalaamisen, kollaasien ja leimailujen jälkeen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FikbsS-To9U/TXoF70-L97I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/0RR2IuOi7YY/s1600/7DayJournal.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 163px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FikbsS-To9U/TXoF70-L97I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/0RR2IuOi7YY/s400/7DayJournal.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582781213469046706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-3082910461428332065?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/3082910461428332065/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/03/lukemisen-arvoinen-kirja-book-well.html#comment-form' title='3 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/3082910461428332065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/3082910461428332065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/03/lukemisen-arvoinen-kirja-book-well.html' title='Lukemisen arvoinen kirja! / A book well worth reading!'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KqmWDthb8Og/TXn6S07zDII/AAAAAAAAAwI/NIwZGR4oh4E/s72-c/Artatthespeedoflife.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-5321319499446978117</id><published>2011-03-09T11:12:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-09T11:22:01.614+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kukat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flowers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Spring / Kevät</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U303irNrEko/TXdE17IyJDI/AAAAAAAAAwA/_uT_TnvUDbw/s1600/Spring.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U303irNrEko/TXdE17IyJDI/AAAAAAAAAwA/_uT_TnvUDbw/s400/Spring.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582005956347307058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Keväällä tapahtuu paljon asioita maan alla, kun sipulit ja juurakot heräävät ja alkavat kasvaa kohti maan pintaa.

Tuon hullun papukaijan kunniaksi tein tämän kollaasin, jolla osallistun "&lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/03/collage-obsession-pets.html"&gt;Collage Obsessionin&lt;/a&gt;" tämän viikon haasteeseen, jonka aiheena ovat "Lemmikkieläimet".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-6340374354386169619?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/6340374354386169619/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/03/collage-obsession-pets-lemmikkielaimet.html#comment-form' title='5 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/6340374354386169619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/6340374354386169619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/03/collage-obsession-pets-lemmikkielaimet.html' title='Collage Obsession: Pets / Lemmikkieläimet'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M2MgsadgPP4/TXQDP_eiU6I/AAAAAAAAAv4/uLFARWX1kRY/s72-c/Crazy_Green_Parrot.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-2817608208519420840</id><published>2011-03-04T12:44:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-04T12:54:56.576+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musiikki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession: Music / Musiikki</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q5yeEdAZsUA/TXDCwqGbE0I/AAAAAAAAAvg/O66kd_nW1qw/s1600/Picnic_and_Music.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 277px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q5yeEdAZsUA/TXDCwqGbE0I/AAAAAAAAAvg/O66kd_nW1qw/s400/Picnic_and_Music.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580174079502783298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/02/music.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;" -haasteen aiheena on tällä viikolla musiikki. Aiheen valinnut Tiffany on antanut virikkeeksi kaksi kuvaa, joista toisesta käytin osan tähän kollaasiini. Vaikka kesään ja piknik-aikaan on vielä matkaa, niin halusin tehdä puutarha-altsukirjaani tämän aukeaman vauhdittamaan kesän odotusta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This week's theme on "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/02/music.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;" is music. Tiffany, who has chosen the theme, has given two images as starting points, and I used a part of one of them in my collage. This is a spread in my garden-themed altered book journal, and even though summer is still far ahead here in Finland, I'm really looking forward to all the wonderful days I can spend in my garden. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-2817608208519420840?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/2817608208519420840/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/03/collage-obsession-music-musiikki.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2817608208519420840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2817608208519420840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/03/collage-obsession-music-musiikki.html' title='Collage Obsession: Music / Musiikki'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q5yeEdAZsUA/TXDCwqGbE0I/AAAAAAAAAvg/O66kd_nW1qw/s72-c/Picnic_and_Music.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-7853530250731783643</id><published>2011-02-26T17:13:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-02-26T18:05:31.145+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shoes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freebies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kengät'/><title type='text'>A freebie for you to celebrate my 50th follower</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7dIz0W13QMo/TWkY9_LiAoI/AAAAAAAAAvY/ULU6L-LLYj4/s1600/Girl_with_shoe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 242px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7dIz0W13QMo/TWkY9_LiAoI/AAAAAAAAAvY/ULU6L-LLYj4/s400/Girl_with_shoe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578017066685956738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Huomasin juuri, että blogini on saanut 50. lukijansa! Siitä ilahtuneena päätin tarjota kaikille teille rakkaille lukijoilleni tämän vanhan kenkämainoskuvan, jota voitte vapaasti käyttää kollaaseissanne ja muissa vastaavissa töissänne. (Klikkaa kuva suuremmaksi ja tallenna se sitten omalle koneellesi.) - Tämä kuva on minulle ajankohtainen sikälikin, että olen juuri toipumassa kolme viikkoa sitten tehdystä varvasleikkauksesta. Maaliskuun lopussa varpaasta otetaan pois sitä nyt tukeva metallipiikki, ja silloin toivon voivani jälleen saada KENGÄT JALKAANI!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I just noticed that my blog has got its 50th follower! This delighted me so that I decided to offer you as a freebie this image from an old shoe advertisement. You can freely use it in your collages and other art pieces. (Click the image to enlarge it  and then save it on your computer.) - This image reflects my current situation very well, because I'm recovering from a toe operation and dreaming about the day (in the end of March) when I'll be able to WEAR A SHOE on my foot again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-7853530250731783643?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/7853530250731783643/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/02/freebie-for-you-to-celebrate-my-50th.html#comment-form' title='3 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7853530250731783643'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7853530250731783643'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/02/freebie-for-you-to-celebrate-my-50th.html' title='A freebie for you to celebrate my 50th follower'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7dIz0W13QMo/TWkY9_LiAoI/AAAAAAAAAvY/ULU6L-LLYj4/s72-c/Girl_with_shoe.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-457573896285011735</id><published>2011-02-22T12:30:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-02-22T12:44:28.779+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='talot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lumi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='snow'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='houses'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession: Old Dark House / Vanha synkkä talo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LanYt2M2iv8/TWOQ2Ue2RQI/AAAAAAAAAvI/6RKeJe3oLd8/s1600/Luminen_talvi.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 391px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LanYt2M2iv8/TWOQ2Ue2RQI/AAAAAAAAAvI/6RKeJe3oLd8/s400/Luminen_talvi.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576460026500236546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tänä talvena lunta on ollut todella paljon.

He had chosen an image of an old dark house and he asked us to tell a story about it. Because this winter we really have  a lot of snow, I decided to put the house in the middle of snow. My house looks a lot like this nowadays - all I can see from my windows are high heaps of snow.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-457573896285011735?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/457573896285011735/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/02/collage-obsession-old-dark-house-vanha.html#comment-form' title='4 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/457573896285011735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/457573896285011735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/02/collage-obsession-old-dark-house-vanha.html' title='Collage Obsession: Old Dark House / Vanha synkkä talo'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LanYt2M2iv8/TWOQ2Ue2RQI/AAAAAAAAAvI/6RKeJe3oLd8/s72-c/Luminen_talvi.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-1151436906004633333</id><published>2011-02-15T11:42:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-02-15T11:58:23.685+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='päiväkirjat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession: Spring / Kevät</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uEx9DJ3O9f0/TVpKy5xzigI/AAAAAAAAAu4/tTh8klIaz8U/s1600/Spring.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 392px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uEx9DJ3O9f0/TVpKy5xzigI/AAAAAAAAAu4/tTh8klIaz8U/s400/Spring.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573849727188044290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On vähän aikeaa ajatella kevättä, kun lämpötila ulkona on -26 astetta (kuten tänä aamuna oli), mutta kyllähän kalenterin mukaan kohta pitäisi jo olla kevät. "Kevät" on aiheena "&lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/02/spring.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;" -haasteessa tällä viikolla, ja osallistun siihen tällä "Kaamospäiväkirjani" sivulla. Käytin piirrokseni pohjamuotona haasteessa annettua rengaskuviota.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a bit hard to think about spring when temperature outside is -26 degrees Celsius (-15 degrees F) like it was this morning. But if I look at my calendar, I can see that the spring is near. "Spring" is this week's theme of the "&lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/02/spring.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;" challenge, and this page from my "Black diary" is my entry for this challenge.

Koska minusta on kivaa laittaa asioita lentämään ja kukkimaan, niin tein tästä aiheesta aukeaman puutarha-altsupäiväkirjaani. Kuvat leikkasin aikakauslehdistä, kukat erilaisista askartelupapereista ja siivet &lt;a href="http://itkupillishop.blogspot.com/"&gt;itkupillin&lt;/a&gt; digiarkista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/02/collage-obsession-37-transform.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;" challenge was hosted this week by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://fibreartscollage.blogspot.com/"&gt;Glenys&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, and she had chosen "Transform" to be the theme: transform anything into something else.

Koska tein tämän jutun puutarhapäiväkirjani aukeamalle, ajattelin kuitenkin sen verran, että yritin käytää erilaisia kasviaiheita tuhertelussani. Maalasin sivujen pohjat ensin ohuesti gessolla, ja sitten vaan kynät käteen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;When I noticed that the "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2011/02/three-muses-88-black-and-white.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;" want us to make black-and-white art this week, I thought that now it's time for me to do some doodling. Because I made this piece on a spread of my "Garden journal", I included a lot of plant forms in my drawing. First I painted a thin layer of gesso on the book pages, and then I just grabbed my markers and let go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-4354120172137280398?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4354120172137280398/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/02/three-muses-black-and-white.html#comment-form' title='16 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4354120172137280398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4354120172137280398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/02/three-muses-black-and-white.html' title='The Three Muses: Black and white / Mustavalkoista'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUj8xPLUhOI/AAAAAAAAAtk/fqZcW9DlB0Q/s72-c/Black_and_white.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-2470239534592303110</id><published>2011-01-31T09:05:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T09:14:28.967+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='visual journals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='visuaaliset päiväkirjat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='päiväkirjat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vintage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Take a Word'/><title type='text'>Take a Word: Vintage</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUZfiQ1KMxI/AAAAAAAAAtE/pU2Tq7G_cw4/s1600/Talvitakki.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUZfiQ1KMxI/AAAAAAAAAtE/pU2Tq7G_cw4/s400/Talvitakki.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568243031528321810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Talvi vain jatkuu, ja koska vaatevarastoni on aika vintagea tai vähintäänkin retroa, mietin pitäisikö ostaa uusi talvitakki.

Valitsin aiheeksi "Perheen" ja kuvaksi piirroksen, joka on peräisin 1920-luvun aikakauslehtimainoksesta. Perhehän on varmasti useimmille ihmisille yksi tärkeimmistä asioista elämässä - olkoon perhe sitten suuri tai pieni, lähellä tai kaukana. Tässä omassa versiossani olen "värittänyt" kuvan leikkaamalla kangastilkuista perheenjäsenille vaatteet ja kotiin tekstiilit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This week I had the honour to choose the image and theme for the &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/collage-obsession-36-family-perhe.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt; challenge. This was my first "duty" as one of the new contributors of the challenge blog. I chose "Family" to be the theme, and the image is a drawing from a magazine ad from the 1920s. For most of us family is certainly one of the most important things in life - no matter if the family is big or small, living near or far away. I my own version I have "coloured" the image by cutting small pieces of fabric for the clothes of the family members and for the textiles of their home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUXJNvZr2yI/AAAAAAAAAss/Hqbyo0GM7xs/s1600/Family_Birthday.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 377px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUXJNvZr2yI/AAAAAAAAAss/Hqbyo0GM7xs/s400/Family_Birthday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568077752213166882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-1129118764393772725?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/1129118764393772725/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/collage-obsession-36-family-perhe.html#comment-form' title='6 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/1129118764393772725'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/1129118764393772725'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/collage-obsession-36-family-perhe.html' title='Collage Obsession #36: Family / Perhe'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUXFhJCTdBI/AAAAAAAAAsk/EfBC_Wb9L1c/s72-c/Family_with_textiles.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-2404653222857491779</id><published>2011-01-28T11:51:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-28T12:07:08.194+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kollaasi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tarot-kortit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='collage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tarot cards'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession #35: Wheel of Fortune / Onnenpyörä</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUKSBCQd9DI/AAAAAAAAAsU/bbXJCU-8ADA/s1600/Wheel_of_Fortune.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUKSBCQd9DI/AAAAAAAAAsU/bbXJCU-8ADA/s400/Wheel_of_Fortune.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567172635866821682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tiffany oli valinnut &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/fate-fortune-wheel-of-fortune.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt; -blogin tämän viikon haasteen aiheeksi "Onenpyörän" ja laittanut virikkeeksi kuvan sata vuotta vanhan Tarot-korttipakan kortista (alkuperäinen kuva on tämän postauksen lopussa). Omassa vastauksessani olen tehnyt uuden version tuosta kortista ja korvannut sen kuvat erilaisilla lehdistä ja mainospostista löytämilläni kuvilla. Uskon erittäin vahvasti sattumaan elämää ohjaavana voimana, ja niinpä tämä haaste oli minulle oikein mieluisa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/fate-fortune-wheel-of-fortune.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'s challenge for this week was posted by Tiffany. She had chosen the "Wheel of Fortune" and posted an image of a 100 years old Tarot card as a starting point for us (the image of the original card is below). I made a new version of the card, substituting its images with various images that I found from magazines and junk mail. I believe very strongly that chance is a most important force that guides my life, and so I really enjoyed participating in this challenge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUKUrICSViI/AAAAAAAAAsc/GDI8JmZmsjY/s1600/Wheel-of-Fortune-Tarot-Card.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUKUrICSViI/AAAAAAAAAsc/GDI8JmZmsjY/s400/Wheel-of-Fortune-Tarot-Card.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567175557995714082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-2404653222857491779?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/2404653222857491779/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/collage-obsession-35-wheel-of-fortune.html#comment-form' title='4 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2404653222857491779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2404653222857491779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/collage-obsession-35-wheel-of-fortune.html' title='Collage Obsession #35: Wheel of Fortune / Onnenpyörä'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TUKSBCQd9DI/AAAAAAAAAsU/bbXJCU-8ADA/s72-c/Wheel_of_Fortune.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-66573871471775497</id><published>2011-01-18T23:28:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-18T23:36:53.126+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pitsi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='napit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miehet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='men'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='buttons'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession #34: Carnivale Pazzo / Karnevaalimeininkiä</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TTYGStNgJvI/AAAAAAAAArs/WYiaOQwj8bI/s1600/MARIO.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TTYGStNgJvI/AAAAAAAAArs/WYiaOQwj8bI/s400/MARIO.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563641308106467058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/carnivale-pazzo.html"&gt;Collage Obsessionin&lt;/a&gt; haaste tuli Rickiltä, joka yllytti pitämään hauskaa tämän Marion kuvan kanssa.

Niitä on monenvärisiä ja monenmuotoisia, ja niiden kauneus paljastuu, kun joskus malttaa katsoa rauhassa läheltä. Mikä onkaan kauniimpi näky, kuin lämpimänä kesäpäivänä pihan yllä lentelevät sudenkorennot! Tällä Puutarha-altsukirjani aukeamalla osallistun "&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/three-muses-natures-creatures.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt;" haasteeseen, jonka aiheena ovat kaikenlaiset luonnon olennot. Kollaasini tausta on maalattu akryyliväreillä, sudenkorennot ovat &lt;a href="http://itkupillishop.blogspot.com"&gt;itkupillin&lt;/a&gt; digiarkista, ja kasvit omalta pihaltani - skannasin niitä varastoon viime kesänä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Dragonflies are fascinating creatures, a blend of beauty and beast. They come in many colours and shapes, and if you take a close look at one, then you can really see how wonderful they are. What could be a more beautiful sight than dragonflies flying around in the garden on a warm summer day! This spread from my altered book Garden journal is my entry for the &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/three-muses-natures-creatures.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;' this week's challenge "Nature's Creatures". The background is painted with acrylic paints, the dragonflies are from &lt;a href="http://itkupillishop.blogspot.com"&gt;itkupilli&lt;/a&gt;'s digital collage sheet, and the plants are from my own garden - I scanned a stash of them last summer for later use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-2652470170677740591?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/2652470170677740591/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/three-muses-natures-creatures-kaiken.html#comment-form' title='15 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2652470170677740591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2652470170677740591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/three-muses-natures-creatures-kaiken.html' title='The Three Muses: Nature&apos;s Creatures / Kaiken maailman eläimet'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TS1Yw82HjYI/AAAAAAAAAqc/Ut1CvR-pkSE/s72-c/NaturesCreatures.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-1390274967887378048</id><published>2011-01-10T20:08:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-10T20:29:38.921+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><title type='text'>Olen Collage Obsession -haasteblogin uusi avustaja! / I'm a new contrbutor of Collage Obsession challenge blog!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TStMmi98bPI/AAAAAAAAAps/o4soC4oEUag/s1600/EilaA.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TStMmi98bPI/AAAAAAAAAps/o4soC4oEUag/s400/EilaA.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560622390024367346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Olen melkoisen iloinen ja ylpeä, koska Itkupilli on valinnut minut yhdeksi &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt; -haastebloginsa avustajaksi. Tulevaisuudessa saatte siis ehkä noin kerran kuussa pohdittavaksenne minun laatimani haasteen. Muut uudet avustajat ovat Glenys (Australiasta) sekä Rick ja Tiffany (Kaliforniasta), ja tietysti Itkupilli itse jatkaa haastajana. - Tuo yllä oleva valokuva on isäni ottama, ja olen siinä ehkä 4-vuotias. En muista enää, mitä olin kirjoittamassa, mutta varustukseni on täydellinen: pöydällä käsilaukku ja oikeassa kädessä pulla (luultavasti äidin leipoma) - nälkäisenä ei pysty luovaan työhön!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so happy and proud, because Itkupilli has chosen me to one of the new contributors of her &lt;a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt; challenge blog. In the future you'll have a challenge theme chosen by me about once a month. The other new contributors are Glenys (from Australia) and Rick and Tiffany (both from California), and of course Itkupilli herself will continue as the hostess of the blog. - The photo above was taken by my father, I guess I'm about 4 years old in it. I can't remeber what I was writing, but I have the perfect accessories: my handbag is on the table, and in my right hand I have a bun (probably baken by my mother) - you can't create if you're hungry!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-1390274967887378048?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/1390274967887378048/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/olen-collage-obsession-haasteblogin.html#comment-form' title='5 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/1390274967887378048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/1390274967887378048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/olen-collage-obsession-haasteblogin.html' title='Olen Collage Obsession -haasteblogin uusi avustaja! / I&apos;m a new contrbutor of Collage Obsession challenge blog!'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TStMmi98bPI/AAAAAAAAAps/o4soC4oEUag/s72-c/EilaA.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-120546700081675799</id><published>2011-01-09T19:08:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-09T19:19:25.225+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lumi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='päiväkirjat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='snow'/><title type='text'>Take a Word: Beauty / Kauneus</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TSnrzJghXsI/AAAAAAAAApk/cj1RTn_MKtc/s1600/Lumihiutaleet.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TSnrzJghXsI/AAAAAAAAApk/cj1RTn_MKtc/s400/Lumihiutaleet.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560234478923767490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talvessa on varmaan kauneinta lumi, ja niinpä tein "&lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;" -haasteen teemaan "Kauneus" tällaisen koosteen lumihiutaleista. Jokainen, joka on tarkastellut lumihiutaleita lähietäisyydeltä, on nähnyt miten hienoja ja erilaisia muotoja niissä on.

I made this collection of snowflakes on a spread in my "Black journal", and it's my entry for this week's "&lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;" challenge "Beauty". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-120546700081675799?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/120546700081675799/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/take-word-beauty-kauneus.html#comment-form' title='8 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/120546700081675799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/120546700081675799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2011/01/take-word-beauty-kauneus.html' title='Take a Word: Beauty / Kauneus'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TSnrzJghXsI/AAAAAAAAApk/cj1RTn_MKtc/s72-c/Lumihiutaleet.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-4099837390740193998</id><published>2011-01-07T18:30:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-07T18:52:07.908+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='visuaaliset päiväkirjat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online class'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art journals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='verkkokurssi'/><title type='text'>Strathmore Online Workshops - Week 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TSdEbl3tYSI/AAAAAAAAApc/XuudK2cy1GY/s1600/EilaA_Strathmoore1_Week1_b.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TSdEbl3tYSI/AAAAAAAAApc/XuudK2cy1GY/s400/EilaA_Strathmoore1_Week1_b.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559487505825095970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TSdEOo4cVvI/AAAAAAAAApU/v5Ea1vjNED8/s1600/EilaA_Strathmoore1_Week1_a.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TSdEOo4cVvI/AAAAAAAAApU/v5Ea1vjNED8/s400/EilaA_Strathmoore1_Week1_a.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559487283295180530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Olen ilmoittautunut mukaan Strathmore Artist Papers -firman tarjoamiin maksuttomiin &lt;a href="http://www.strathmoreartiststudio.com/"&gt;on-line kursseihin&lt;/a&gt;.

Ensimmäisen työpajan, "Recycled Journal Pages", ensimmäinen viikko on menossa, ja sen aikana on rakennettu visuaalisten päiväkirjasivujen alinta kerrosta kierrättämällä omia valmiita kuvia ja muuta valmista materiaalia.

This is the first week of Workshop 1, "Recycled Journal Pages", and we have been collageing the first layer of our journal pages from our own recycled artwork and other recycled material. My pages, at this stage, can be seen in these images.

Tein tämän aukeaman puutarha-altsukirjaani varten digitaaliversiona. Vasemmalla on Johann Theodor de Bryn käsinväritetty kaiverrus "Puutarha" vuodelta 1612. Keskellä olevat tulppaanit ovat Basilius Beslerin teoksesta "Hortus Eystettensis" vuodelta 1613. Oikeanpuoleinen paneeli on omistettu suosikkikuvittajani Maria Sibylla Merianin (1647-1717) työlle. Hän oli tieteellinen kuvittaja, hyönteistutkimuksen pioneeri ja tutkimusmatkailija, joka tutkittuaan ensin eurooppalaisia hyönteisiä lähti 52-vuotiaana kahden vuoden matkalle Surinamiin tutkimaan hyönteisten muodonmuutoksia. Hyönteiskuviinsa hän piirsi ja maalasi aina myös sen isäntäkasvin, jolla kukin hyönteinen eli. - Sivun taustalla on oma vesivärityöni apilanlehdistä. Tällä koosteella osallistun "&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-book.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt;" viikon haasteeseen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I love old botanical books and their illustrations, and I deeply admire the artists who have had the talent to observe the plants and transform their observations into beautiful hand painted images. I made this digital collage as a spread for my garden journal. On the left side there is a hand coloured engraving "Garden" by Johann Theodor de Bry from 1612. In the center there are two tulips from Basilius Besler's book "Hortus Eystettensis" from 1613. The panel on the right side is dedicated to my favourite illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) who was a scientific illustrator, a pioneer of insect research, and an explorer. After having researched the European insects she left, at the age of 52, for a two year expedition in Surinam to observe the metamorphoses of insects. In her wonderful images she always depicted also the plants on which the insects lived. - The background image is my own watercolour of clover leaves. This collage is my entry for the "&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-book.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;'" challenge of this week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-2947825021414158256?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/2947825021414158256/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-books-kirjat.html#comment-form' title='7 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2947825021414158256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2947825021414158256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-books-kirjat.html' title='The Three Muses: Books / Kirjat'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRsZKeevjkI/AAAAAAAAAmM/pxyMRHs5R3A/s72-c/BotanicalBooksSpread.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-8055469542780733628</id><published>2010-12-27T19:14:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-12-27T19:24:06.827+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kalenterit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='calendars'/><title type='text'>Fun with ATCs #25: End of the year</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRjJqqg96rI/AAAAAAAAAmE/PAQQcvHrilA/s1600/Countdown.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRjJqqg96rI/AAAAAAAAAmE/PAQQcvHrilA/s400/Countdown.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555411875165760178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vuoden 2010 viimeiset päivät ovat käsillä - lähtölaskenta on alkanut!

Music takes my mind in other spheres on these short days, when there hardly seems to be any light hours between morning and evening.

Oikea kranssini on tehty kuusen, männyn ja katajan oksista, ja sain sen taas tänäkin vuonna hyvältä ystävältäni Elinalta, joka on sen itse valmistanut. Tämä kuvassa oleva kranssi on altsukirjani aukeamalla, ja sen lehdet tein kankaanpaloista. Varpuset ja muut pikkulinnut ovat tervetulleita lepäämään kranssini suojassa. Tällä aukeamalla osallistun "&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-tidings-of-comfort-and-joy.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt;" haasteeseen, ja toivotan samalla kaikille teille blogiani lukeville oikein Hyvää ja Rauhallista Joulua!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;When the Christmas season begins, I hang a garland on my front door to tell that all friends are welcome to visit. The real garland on my door is a gift from my dear friend Elina, and she has made it herself from spruce, pine and juniper twigs. The garland in this image is on a spread of my altered book journal, and I made it from small pieces of fabric. Sparrows and other small birds are most welcome to take a rest in its shelter. This spread is my entry for the "&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-tidings-of-comfort-and-joy.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;'" challenge, and with this image I wish you all a very Beautiful and Peaceful and Merry Christmas season!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-5102971082251181410?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/5102971082251181410/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-tidings-of-comfort-and-joy.html#comment-form' title='14 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/5102971082251181410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/5102971082251181410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-tidings-of-comfort-and-joy.html' title='The Three Muses: Tidings of Comfort and Joy / Ilon sanomia'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRG1Wxf-lQI/AAAAAAAAAlw/rPu4MGyo7Js/s72-c/Hyvaa_Joulua.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-7486854246421896013</id><published>2010-12-21T11:39:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2010-12-21T11:50:00.982+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paperihelmet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jewelry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paper beads'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='korut'/><title type='text'>Paperihelminauhoja / Paper bead necklaces</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRB2wYXzaVI/AAAAAAAAAlg/Xp7SPsFGyD0/s1600/Pitk%25C3%25A4t_paperihelmet_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 366px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRB2wYXzaVI/AAAAAAAAAlg/Xp7SPsFGyD0/s400/Pitk%25C3%25A4t_paperihelmet_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553068914095909202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRB2e0Gko-I/AAAAAAAAAlY/fh0yj9no3mE/s1600/Pitkat_paperihelmet_1.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRB2e0Gko-I/AAAAAAAAAlY/fh0yj9no3mE/s400/Pitkat_paperihelmet_1.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553068612302185442" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRB26fNYepI/AAAAAAAAAlo/kdrIdKwt0cc/s1600/Lyhyet_paperihelmet.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TRB26fNYepI/AAAAAAAAAlo/kdrIdKwt0cc/s400/Lyhyet_paperihelmet.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553069087729941138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Näissä kuvissa on esimerkkejä kaulakoruista, joissa olen käyttänyt tekemiäni paperihelmiä.

This page is my entry for this week's "&lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;" challenge, and with this image I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-386172878486657290?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/386172878486657290/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/12/take-word-celebrate-juhla.html#comment-form' title='12 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/386172878486657290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/386172878486657290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/12/take-word-celebrate-juhla.html' title='Take a Word: Celebrate / Juhla'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TQ5aDA59QZI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/nEI34bWQek0/s72-c/Celebrate.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-3378360542494691793</id><published>2010-12-15T09:41:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-12-15T09:44:53.650+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kukat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flowers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Odd Couple / Eripari</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TQhuJMoatCI/AAAAAAAAAlA/NEeGUzeCCao/s1600/Odd_couple.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TQhuJMoatCI/AAAAAAAAAlA/NEeGUzeCCao/s400/Odd_couple.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550807645022762018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eriparisia yhdistelmiä voi löytyä myös kasvimaailmasta. Tässä Puutarha-altsukirjani aukeamassa olen kuvannut jämäkän suoravartisen auringonkukan ja sitä pitkin kiipeävän rennon köynnöskasvin yhdistelmän. Kasvien osat leikkasin erilaisista kuviollisista paperinpaloista, jotka löysin pöytälaatikostani. Tällä kollaasilla osallistun "&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-muses-81-odd-couple.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt;" tämän viikon haasteeseen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Odd couples can be found in the world of plants, too. This collage is a spread from my Garden altered book journal, and here I depicted a sturdy straight standing sunflower with a swinging swirling twining plant growing up along it. I cut the parts of the flowers from various pieces of patterned papers I found in my desk drawer.

Kukkakenkä on googlattu (kiitos OddShoeFinderille), ruohikon maalasin akryyliväreillä ja vahaliiduilla.

I wonder if even the angels turn black in this darkness. - I painted the page with black gesso and printed the blue pattern with a piece of net; the angel is a dye cut which I turned black.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-4022555849845251339?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4022555849845251339/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/11/take-word-angel-enkeli.html#comment-form' title='19 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4022555849845251339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4022555849845251339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/11/take-word-angel-enkeli.html' title='Take a Word: Angel / Enkeli'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TNckyHwTrII/AAAAAAAAAkc/pnvDSyvGVoo/s72-c/Mustaenkeli_pieni.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-3558113943834693933</id><published>2010-11-03T22:11:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-03T22:34:39.157+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aika'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Take a Word'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>Take a Word: Time / Aika</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TNHCOb9qYeI/AAAAAAAAAkM/98ZsDaBB2HU/s1600/AikaTime_pieni.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 386px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TNHCOb9qYeI/AAAAAAAAAkM/98ZsDaBB2HU/s400/AikaTime_pieni.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535418970295394786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marie eli "Kolmesta Muusasta" tuttu Ozstuff on perustanut uuden haasteblogin "&lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;". Kerran viikossa (maanantaisin) hän heittää pohdittavaksi sanan (ennakkotieto tulee jo edellisenä maanantaina), jota on lupa tulkita millä tahansa tyylillä, tekniikalla ja muodolla.&lt;br /&gt;Lähden mukaan Marien ensimmäiseen sanahaasteeseen, joka on "Aika", tällä sivulla uudesta altsukirjastani. Kirjani nimi on "Kaamoskirja", ja se on tehty käytetystä kirjasta, jonka kaikki sivut maalasin mustaksi gessolla maalausvälineenäni vanha luottokortti. Tällä "Aika"-nimisellä sivulla totean, että onneksi kelloja käännetään syksyllä taaksepäin (saa nukkua tunnin pitempään edes yhtenä aamuna). Kaamoskirjani tarkoitus on auttaa minua selviämään tämän vuoden pimeimmän ajan yli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Marie, aka Ozstuff from the Three Muses, has started a new challenge blog "&lt;a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/"&gt;Take a Word&lt;/a&gt;". Once a week (on Mondays) she announces a prompt word for us to express in our artworks. You can make any kind of art, with any media, in any form.&lt;br /&gt;I'm participating in Marie's first challenge, "Time", with this page from my new altered book art journal. My book is meant to be a means for me to endure this darkest period of the year - "kaamos" in Finnish. I took a used book and painted every page black with black gesso using an old credit card as my "brush". On this page, titled "Time = Aika (in Finnish)", I wrote that it's good that the clocks are turned backwards (and not forward) in the autumn, so that I can sleep an extra hour on one morning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-3558113943834693933?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/3558113943834693933/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/11/take-word-time-aika.html#comment-form' title='9 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/3558113943834693933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/3558113943834693933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/11/take-word-time-aika.html' title='Take a Word: Time / Aika'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TNHCOb9qYeI/AAAAAAAAAkM/98ZsDaBB2HU/s72-c/AikaTime_pieni.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-5166097730320349361</id><published>2010-11-02T23:04:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-02T23:15:55.865+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kukat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flowers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Show Time</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TNB9FgpassI/AAAAAAAAAkE/GmGXxnyArc8/s1600/Garden_Show_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TNB9FgpassI/AAAAAAAAAkE/GmGXxnyArc8/s400/Garden_Show_pieni.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535061475654808258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt; tämänviikkoisen haasteen aiheena on Show Time.

Maalasin taustalla olevan maiseman akryyliväreillä käyttäen "siveltimenä" vanhaa luottokorttia. Kukat ovat kotoisin eri aikakauslehdistä. - Terveiset ja kiitokset viime viikonlopun työpajalaisille, jos satutte lukemaan tämän - oli todella mukava kahden päivän rupeama!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;This collage in my altered book journal is my entry for the &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;' challenge "Show Time".

Rakastan myös uusia Xcutin lävistäjiäni, perhosta ja kukkaa, joiden avulla voi tehdä ihania kortteja ja kollaaseja. Tällä altsukirjani aukeamalla osallistun &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt; tämänviikkoiseen haasteseen. Kuvan taustan maalasin kahdella gessokerroksella: alla on keltaiseksi sävytettyä gessoa ja sen päällä vihreäksi sävytettyä gessoa, johon "piirsin" kammalla ja tikulla ruohikkoa, kun gesso oli vielä märkää.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I love butterflies, and there are a lot of them flying around in my garden in the summer. My so called "garden" is in a pretty wild state, growing all kinds of wild flowers, and the butterflies love them. I also love my new Xcut punches, the butterfly and the flower. With them I can make the most beautiful cards and collages. With this spread from my alterd book journal I'm participating in the &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;' challenge of the week. I painted the background of this collage with two layers of gesso: first there is a layer of yellow gesso, and on top of that I painted a layer of green gesso, and when that layer was still wet I "draw" the grass in it with a comb and a stick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-3716059234643752161?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/3716059234643752161/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/10/three-muses-wings-on-things-siivekkaita.html#comment-form' title='14 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/3716059234643752161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/3716059234643752161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/10/three-muses-wings-on-things-siivekkaita.html' title='The Three Muses: Wings on Things / Siivekkäitä'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TL3RuCLsQ0I/AAAAAAAAAj0/jlEnEFEOJIg/s72-c/thingswithwings_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-5248110124175400837</id><published>2010-10-11T19:18:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2010-10-11T19:35:43.749+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art envelopes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='taidekirjekuoret'/><title type='text'>Olen Marien taidekuoren onnellinen omistaja! / I am the happy owner of Marie's art envelope!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TLM8ZgLuFoI/AAAAAAAAAjs/8C1-c6-_vW0/s1600/Marie_art_envelope_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 279px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TLM8ZgLuFoI/AAAAAAAAAjs/8C1-c6-_vW0/s400/Marie_art_envelope_pieni.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526827576547219074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kolme Muusaa&lt;/a&gt;" järjestivät muutama viikko sitten arvonnan (juhlistaakseen 400. bloginsa seuraajaa) heidän taidekirjekuori-haasteeseensa osallistuneiden kesken, palkintoina olivat Muusien itsensä (Ann, Bev ja Marie) tekemät kuoret. Ja minua onni potkaisi niin kerrassaan ihanasti, että voitin omakseni Marien taideteoksen. Tänään löysin sen postilaatikostani, ja se on aivan uskomattoman kaunis! Kuoreen sisälle Marie oli vielä laittanut kirjeen lisäksi yllätyslahjoja: yhden atc-kortin ja kaksi kirjanmerkkiä. Kiitos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;The Three Muses&lt;/a&gt; arranged a few weeks ago a drawing to celebrate their 400th follower. As prices they (Ann, Bev and Marie) donated the art anvelopes which they themselves had made for their challenge. And I was so incredibly lucky that I won Marie's beautiful work of art. Today I found it in my mail box, and it really is so fantastically beautiful! In the envelope Marie had included not just a letter but some wonderful surprise gifts: one atc and two bookmarks.

Vaihtoon osallistutaan 10:llä tai 5:llä kortilla. Tein kymmenen kortin satsin, pohja ja tausta on kaikille korteille yhteinen, kuvituksen tein siinä vaiheessa kun arkki oli vielä kokonainen ja leikkasin sen korteiksi vasta lopuksi. Palapelin luonne näkyy varmaan korttisarjassa. Kuvituksessa yritin tavoittaa sitä absurdia ja surrealistista maailmaa, joka Ihmemaassa vallitsee. Olen käyttänyt kollaasikuvia ainakin Annen arkkikaupan, Itkupillin, Teesha Mooren ja Cemeronyn arkeista. - Nämä kortit lähtevät siis vaihtoon, ja aikanaan saan 10 korttia vaihdossa. Hauska nähdä, millaisia kortteja muut ovat luoneet!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-4457107039164195139?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4457107039164195139/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/10/koukussa-kortteihin-atc-vaihto-liisa.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4457107039164195139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4457107039164195139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/10/koukussa-kortteihin-atc-vaihto-liisa.html' title='Koukussa kortteihin ATC-vaihto: Liisa Ihmemaassa / Alice in Wonderland'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TLH8NLlDU0I/AAAAAAAAAjk/r2e3vM98meA/s72-c/Alicet_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-2327268706441741033</id><published>2010-09-29T20:06:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-09-29T20:23:35.243+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ruusut'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Victorian / Viktoriaanista</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TKNyltgn_BI/AAAAAAAAAjc/unipehQzUOo/s1600/victorian001_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TKNyltgn_BI/AAAAAAAAAjc/unipehQzUOo/s400/victorian001_pieni.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522383560283520018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/09/victorian-week-70.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt;" haasteena on tällä viikolla tehdä taidetta Viktorian ajan teemasta. Kun ajattelen puutarhaani (joka on meneillään olevan altsukirjani/visuaalisen päiväkirjani teema), niin mikäpä olisi viktoriaanisempaa kuin ruusut. Käytin tähän ruusu-aukeamaani yhtä lehdestä leikattua ruusukuvaa (vasemmalla sivulla), jota jatkoin värittämällä kuvaa vahaliiduilla ja maalaamalla sivuille vihreää ja vaaleanpunaista akryylimaalia siveltimenäni vanha luottokortti. Lopuksi lisäsin ruusuihin yksityiskohtia tussikynillä ja väriliiduilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/09/victorian-week-70.html"&gt;Three Muses'&lt;/a&gt; challenge turned Victorian this week. When I think of my garden (which is the theme of my altered book/visual journal), what could be more Victorian than roses! So I made this spread using as a starting point a magazine picture of roses (which is glued on the left hand page). I altered the image with wax oil crayons, and then painted green and pink acrylic paints on the pages using an old credit card as my brush. Finally I added some details with crayons and felt pens. - Please, dear Muses, here are some roses for you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-2327268706441741033?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/2327268706441741033/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-victorian-viktoriaanista.html#comment-form' title='8 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2327268706441741033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/2327268706441741033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-victorian-viktoriaanista.html' title='The Three Muses: Victorian / Viktoriaanista'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TKNyltgn_BI/AAAAAAAAAjc/unipehQzUOo/s72-c/victorian001_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-3544592372374308044</id><published>2010-09-22T10:44:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-09-22T10:55:09.273+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='envelopes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kirjekuoret'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Kirjekuoritaidetta / Art envelopes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TJm0LC7mQjI/AAAAAAAAAjU/wt-K-NyqJvI/s1600/mailart_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TJm0LC7mQjI/AAAAAAAAAjU/wt-K-NyqJvI/s400/mailart_pieni.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519640920177656370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tämän viikon haasteessaan pyysivät "&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-challenge-art-envelopes.html"&gt;Kolme muusaa&lt;/a&gt;" meiltä kirjekuoritaidetta.

Tein puutarha-aiheiseen altsukirjaani teemasta aukeaman, jolla haluan juhlistaa omenasatoni valmistumista. Pihallani on pieni Valkea kuulas -omenapuu, jonka edesmennyt isäni aikoinaan antoi minulle 50-vuotispäivälahjaksi. Tänä vuonna se on antanut ensimmäisen suuren sadon, parikymmentä ihanan mehukasta suurta omenaa. Niistä riittää syömistä pitemmäksikin aikaa kuin viikoksi, mutta tähän kollaasiini tein kuitenkin vain omenan jokaiselle viikonpäivälle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Numbers" is the Three Muses' challenge for this week. I made this collage in my altered book, where the theme is my garden. With this piece I celebrate the ripening of my apple crop. I have a small apple tree, which my late father gave me for my 50th anniversary several years ago, and this autumn the tree is giving its first big crop: two dozens of big fruity delicious apples. There's more than an apple for each day of the week, but in this collage I only made seven apples - to keep the doctor away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-7522550735651122571?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/7522550735651122571/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-numbers-numerot.html#comment-form' title='10 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7522550735651122571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7522550735651122571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-numbers-numerot.html' title='The Three Muses: Numbers / Numerot'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TIc3G0l02dI/AAAAAAAAAi8/S5ppzep6M3s/s72-c/appleaday_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-7429025139706388273</id><published>2010-09-01T09:08:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2010-09-01T09:27:17.037+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grass'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ruoho'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Back to Nature / Takaisin luontoon</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TH3uUSX_FjI/AAAAAAAAAi0/Kxfu4S_hhWU/s1600/backtonature_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 287px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TH3uUSX_FjI/AAAAAAAAAi0/Kxfu4S_hhWU/s400/backtonature_pieni.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511823551268591154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Takaisin luontoon" on &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-challenge-back-to-nature.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt; haasteen teemana tällä viikolla. Tein altsukirjaani aukeaman, jossa katson luontoa ehkä vähän tavallista tarkemmin. Kun vilkaisee ulos ja näkee vihreän nurmikon, niin yleensä siinä näkee vain sen vihreän nurmikon. Mutta kun katsoo tarkemmin, vaikkapa suurennuslasilla, niin jopa alkaa näkyä kaikenlaisia mielenkiintoisia yksityiskohtia! - Sivujen pohjan maalasin ensin akryylivärillä vihreäksi ja sitten piirsin siihen ruohonkorsia vahaliiduilla. Suurennuslasi on leikattu tummasta aikakauslehden sivusta, ja suurennuslasin näkymään rakensin pienen kollaasin aikakauslehtikuvista. Kannattaa pysähtyä ja katsoa asioita vähän tarkemmin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Back to Nature" is this week's theme from the &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-challenge-back-to-nature.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;. I made in my altered book journal this spread, where I look at nature a little bit closer than usual. Often when you see a green lawn you just see a green lawn. But if you look a bit closer, maybe even with a magnifying glass, you begin to see many interesting details. - I painted the pages with green acrylic paint and then draw the grass leaves with wax oil crayons. The view through the magnifying glass is a small collage made from magazine images. It's worth while to stop and take a closer look at things!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-7429025139706388273?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/7429025139706388273/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-back-to-nature-takaisin.html#comment-form' title='14 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7429025139706388273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/7429025139706388273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-muses-back-to-nature-takaisin.html' title='The Three Muses: Back to Nature / Takaisin luontoon'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TH3uUSX_FjI/AAAAAAAAAi0/Kxfu4S_hhWU/s72-c/backtonature_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-65977478933190566</id><published>2010-08-26T11:31:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2010-08-26T11:55:41.390+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='materiaalit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kurssit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sekatekniikka'/><title type='text'>Esimakua tulevasta... / A sneak preview</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/THYr8GNurjI/AAAAAAAAAiU/n_mizlk1sqM/s1600/Aineistoa_sekatekniikkaan.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 353px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/THYr8GNurjI/AAAAAAAAAiU/n_mizlk1sqM/s400/Aineistoa_sekatekniikkaan.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509639505594723890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tästä kasasta (joka vielä kasvaa päivä päivältä) on tarkoitus saada aikaan altsukirjoja, atc-vaihtokortteja, kollaasitaidetta ja ties vaikka mitä vetämässäni SEKATEKNIIKKAA PAPERIMATERIAALEILLA -työpajassa Vanajaveden opiston "Kirja, paperi, sakset" -viikonloppuna 30.10.-31.10.

Mehiläisethän rakastavat kaikkia kukkia, olivatpa kukat sitten pieniä tai suuria, värikkäitä tai vaatimattomia, ruusuja tai rikkaruohoja. Ehkäpä niiden ehdotonta rakkautta voidaan kutsua sokeaksikin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Love is blind" is the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/08/three-muses-62-love-is-blind.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;' challenge this week. I am making an altered book visual journal which tells about my garden, and so I made this spread about the love between bees and flowers. Bees love all kinds of flowers, no matter if the flowers are small or big, colourful or humble, roses or weeds.

Omalla pihallani, joka on tämän menossa olevan altsukirjani teema, on sielläkin monenlaista ruostuvaa tavaraa: vanhoja työkaluja, ovien saranoita ynnä muuta - ja niiden lisäksi ihania ruosteenvärisiä perhosia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/07/three-muses-58-tuse.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; challenged us to make art with the theme "Rust".

Now I'll just settle down and wait for the autumn when my potato field hopefully will give me a prosperous crop of potatoes... - These images are from my garndfather's book "Agricultural Machines", printed in 1919.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-4092906327903268088?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4092906327903268088/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-steampunk.html#comment-form' title='12 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4092906327903268088'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4092906327903268088'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-steampunk.html' title='The Three Muses: Steampunk'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TCuNNOT08-I/AAAAAAAAAhc/Sx64kouBg04/s72-c/Potato_Steampunk_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-1464361297984177230</id><published>2010-06-29T18:47:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2010-06-29T19:03:43.647+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guest books'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kirjansidonta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vieraskirjat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bookbinding'/><title type='text'>Vieraskirjoja Historialliselle museolle / Guest books for the Historical Museum</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TCoV9kw_hqI/AAAAAAAAAhU/XzP4MtjQPI0/s1600/HisMus_vieraskirjat_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 327px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TCoV9kw_hqI/AAAAAAAAAhU/XzP4MtjQPI0/s400/HisMus_vieraskirjat_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488223243489740450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Hämeenlinnan kaupungin Historiallinen museo tilasi minulta kolme vieraskirjaa kolmeen eri kohteeseensa: Historiallinen museo, Palanderin talon kotimuseo ja Sibeliuksen syntymäkoti.

Kun edellinen kirjani käsitteli (enemmän tai vähemmän vahingossa) lintujen elämää, niin nyt päätin ihan tarkoituksella aloittaa uuden kirjan, jossa kerron oman pihamaani kasveista ja muista ilmiöistä. Tämä ensimmäinen aukeama on vastaukseni Muusien haasteeseen &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-challenge-take-song-any.html"&gt;"Valitse jokin laulu"&lt;/a&gt;, ja valitsemani laulu on kevään tulosta kertova Carl Mikael Bellmanin "Tuuli hiljaa henkäilee". Kuvituksena on alkukesän ilmiöitä pihallani: piirtämäni kuva omenapuun kukista, ruohon vihreyttä, kukkia ja perhosia. - Tämän altsukirjani pohjaksi löysin muuten juuri sopivan nimisen kirjan, "Näen ikkunastani pihamaalle", ja kuva kirjani aloitussivuista on tämän postauksen lopussa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Like I promised last week, I have now started a new altered book for my entries for the Three Muses' challenges. My previous book depicted (more or less accidentally) the lives of birds, but now I decided quite intentionally to start a new book with images and stories about the plants and other phenomena in my own garden. This first spread is my entry for the Muses' challenge &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-challenge-take-song-any.html"&gt;"Take a song"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, and my choice is Carl Mikael Bellman's song about the coming of spring. The images on my pages tell about the beginning of the summer in my garden: a blooming apple tree, green grass, flowers and butterflies. - The book in which I am collaging my altered book is, by the way, quite appropriately titled "I can see my garden from my window", and the opening pages of my altered book look like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TA9Qmqpp6vI/AAAAAAAAAgc/_dHeDrHjC9A/s1600/Pihamaa_kirja_alkulehti_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TA9Qmqpp6vI/AAAAAAAAAgc/_dHeDrHjC9A/s400/Pihamaa_kirja_alkulehti_pieni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480687896747436786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-593986490211991971?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/593986490211991971/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-take-song-valitse-jokin.html#comment-form' title='15 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/593986490211991971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/593986490211991971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-take-song-valitse-jokin.html' title='The Three Muses: Take a song / Valitse jokin laulu'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TA9ROJOWYwI/AAAAAAAAAgk/RZGgHhbWLZw/s72-c/Take_a_son_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-460311816145290795</id><published>2010-06-02T07:25:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2010-06-02T07:46:45.203+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aika'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Time / Aika</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TAXero-HqkI/AAAAAAAAAgM/3OW4Hscg8LU/s1600/time_aika001_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TAXero-HqkI/AAAAAAAAAgM/3OW4Hscg8LU/s400/time_aika001_pieni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478029363079785026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-challenge-53-time.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt; haastepalsta juhli viime viikolla 1-vuotispäiväänsä, ja sen kunniaksi muusat olivat valinneet uuden hasteen teemaksi "Aika".

En ole vielä päättänyt, millaisen kirjan otan työn alle - pian se nähdään.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-challenge-53-time.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Three Muses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; celebrated last week the first anniversary of their challenge blog, and therefore the theme of this week's challenge is "Time". I made in my altered book this collage dealing with time, and because this collage is on the last spread of this book, it deals with looking ahead to a new time and new challenges. Next week I'll start a new altered book for the Three Muses' challenges. I haven't yet decided what it will be like - you'll see next week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-460311816145290795?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/460311816145290795/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-time-aika.html#comment-form' title='12 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/460311816145290795'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/460311816145290795'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-muses-time-aika.html' title='The Three Muses: Time / Aika'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/TAXero-HqkI/AAAAAAAAAgM/3OW4Hscg8LU/s72-c/time_aika001_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-4516459648574188799</id><published>2010-05-26T11:13:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2010-05-26T11:14:41.397+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kirjansidonta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muistikirjat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bookbinding'/><title type='text'>Muistivihkoja / Small journals</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S_zUgdkpzVI/AAAAAAAAAgE/9SZQBYzglQw/s1600/Muisto-vihkot+isot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S_zUgdkpzVI/AAAAAAAAAgE/9SZQBYzglQw/s400/Muisto-vihkot+isot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475484901134945618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S_zUMNWAHBI/AAAAAAAAAf8/yew3G8Dlqio/s1600/Muisto-vihkot+pienet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S_zUMNWAHBI/AAAAAAAAAf8/yew3G8Dlqio/s400/Muisto-vihkot+pienet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475484553181142034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Viime  viikot olen ollut vaihteeksi aika kiireinen. Olen tehnyt (mm.) tällaisia  pieniä muistivihkoja, jotka menevät myyntiin Hämeenlinnan kaupungin  historiallisen museon museokauppaan. Historiallisessa museossa avattiin  pari viikkoa sitten näyttely "Käsin tehty kaupunki", joka kertoo  käsityöläisten työstä ja elämästä kaupungissamme ennen ja nyt. Minäkin  sain näyttelyyn mukaan pienen joukon tekemiaäni muistikirjoja, ja olen  todella iloinen siitä. Näyttely on ehdottomasti tutustumisen arvoinen -  se on avoinna aina ensi maaliskuuhun saakka. Lisää tietoa löytyy &lt;a href="http://www.hameenlinna.fi/Kulttuuri/Museot/Historiallinen-museo/Etusivu/"&gt;museon  nettisivuilta.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lately I have been very busy (once  again...). Among other things I have been making these small journals  which will be on sale at the Museum shop of the Historical museum of  Hämeenlinna (my home town). At the museum there is now open an  exhibition called "Hand made town" which tells about the work and life  of all kinds of craftspeople in this town yesterday and today. I am  lucky to have some of my handmade books on display at the exhibition,  which will be open till March 2011. If you ever visit Hämeenlinna, this  museum is well worth a visit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-4516459648574188799?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4516459648574188799/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/05/muistivihkoja-small-journals.html#comment-form' title='4 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4516459648574188799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4516459648574188799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/05/muistivihkoja-small-journals.html' title='Muistivihkoja / Small journals'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S_zUgdkpzVI/AAAAAAAAAgE/9SZQBYzglQw/s72-c/Muisto-vihkot+isot.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-3778234120423386976</id><published>2010-05-12T09:32:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-05-12T09:42:09.559+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kevät'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='linnut'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spring'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Legs / Sääret</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S-pLqgzvUMI/AAAAAAAAAf0/HGkDrMCgkgU/s1600/legs001_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S-pLqgzvUMI/AAAAAAAAAf0/HGkDrMCgkgU/s400/legs001_pieni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470267891128422594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Kevät on tullut, ja Neiti Lintu ja hänen serkkutyttönsä ovat pukeutuneet uusiin leggingseihinsä ja lähteneet kevätkävelylle.

This spread from my altered book, where I have depicted some swans on their journey, is my entry for this week's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/05/three-muses-challenge-stars.html"&gt;Three Muses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; challenge "Stars". The stars and the migrating birds go together in another sense as well, because many birds can navigate by the stars. - On the background of my pages is a part of the northern part of the globe from an old atlas, and I painted the pages with black gesso. The swans are from a magazine illustration.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- I wish you all a wonderful spring time - or autumn or summer for those, who don't live in the northern hemisphere!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-4758192366823802463?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4758192366823802463/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/05/three-muses-stars-tahdet.html#comment-form' title='15 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4758192366823802463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/4758192366823802463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/05/three-muses-stars-tahdet.html' title='The Three Muses: Stars / Tähdet'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S-EQN4XUGbI/AAAAAAAAAfU/UX9zGSAnZ4k/s72-c/stars001_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-4460787292189795868</id><published>2010-05-03T23:41:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-05-04T00:01:00.821+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='äiti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='digital collage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Collage Obsession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perhe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='digikollaasi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mother'/><title type='text'>Collage Obsession # 15: Mother / Äiti</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S981y0TxeOI/AAAAAAAAAfM/cAI25souEiY/s1600/Collage_Obsession_Mother.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S981y0TxeOI/AAAAAAAAAfM/cAI25souEiY/s400/Collage_Obsession_Mother.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467147619802380514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;Vihdoinkin kiireet ovat hellittäneet vähän, niin että ehdin taas tekemään kuvia ja osallistumaan haasteisiin.

Koska Photoshop-osaamiseni on vielä aika alkeellista, on kuvassani paljon kömpelyyksiä, mutta oli mukava harjoitella muutaman uuden työkalun käyttöä. Perhekuva on peräisin Collage Obsessionin haasteesta, komea kehys &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://itkupillishop.blogspot.com"&gt;Itkupillin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt; digiarkista.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;I'm so happy that my workload has eased a bit so that now I have some time to make collages and participate to challenges. This digital collage is my entry for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2010/05/collage-obsession-challenge-15-mother.html"&gt;Collage Obsession&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;'s theme "Mother" - at least in Finland we celebrate Mothers' Day next Sunday.

Kuvassa on oma myyntipöytäni - minulla oli tarjolla erilaisia omatekoisia muistikirjoja, tarvikepussukoita sekä laukkuja ja kasseja (jotka eivät näy kuvassa). Tapahtuma oli oikein onnistunut, järjestelyt toimivat hyvin, väkeä oli paljon, ihmiset olivat hyvällä tuulella ja kauppakin kävi ihan kohtuullisesti. Ensi vuonna uudestaan - Kierrätystehdas järjestetään taas 7.-8.5.2011!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tämä tavarakasa on myös selitys sille, miksi en ole viime aikoina juurikaan ehtinyt laittaa uusia juttuja blogiini - aika on mennyt melko tarkkaan näiden tuotteiden väsäämisessä. Mutta nyt on pahimmat kiireet ohi - ja uusia olen tietysti jo ehtinyt hankkimaan, mutta enköhän silti ehdi vähän askartelemaankin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This image shows my table at the "Recycling Factory" event last weekend in Helsinki. I had for sale various journals, purses and bags which I had naturally all made myself. And that is also the reason why I haven't posted anything new on my blog lately, but now I think I'll have time for some crafting and blogging again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-479154631730697266?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/479154631730697266/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/04/kierratystehdas-2010-kayty-recycling.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/479154631730697266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/479154631730697266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/04/kierratystehdas-2010-kayty-recycling.html' title='Kierrätystehdas 2010 käyty / Recycling Factory event 2010 is over'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S9hVJKEiHQI/AAAAAAAAAfE/96PiwvjvEu4/s72-c/Kierratystehdas_2010_Eila.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-799959690736066361</id><published>2010-04-14T09:46:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-04-14T10:03:26.247+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vapaat kortit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='maps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='linnut'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='available cards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kartat'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Kartat / Maps</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S8VlK9feqkI/AAAAAAAAAe8/YZ46zO8VgL0/s1600/swallowsmap_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S8VlK9feqkI/AAAAAAAAAe8/YZ46zO8VgL0/s400/swallowsmap_pieni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459881362236287554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-muses-maps.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt; "Kartta"-haasteeseen osallistun tällä atc:lla, jossa pääskyset ovat lähteneet kohti pohjoista Suomea jossain eksoottisessa etelässä sijaitsevasta talvehtimispaikastaan. Kevät on taas lähtenyt käyntiin sellaisella vauhdilla, että tuntuu kuin joka päivä tapahtuisi jotain: uusi lintulaji on palannut, uusi kukka puhjennut kukkimaan, ruoho on vihreämpää ja raparperinalut muhkeampia. Kyllä tätä kevättä on odotettukin pitkän ja lumisen talven jälkeen! - Taustan kartta on &lt;a href="http://elegiashop.blogspot.com"&gt;Elegian&lt;/a&gt; digiarkista, pääskyt ja karttaruusu googletettuja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This atc is my entry for the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-muses-maps.html"&gt;Three Muses'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; challenge "Maps". In my collage the swallows have started their journey back to Finland in the North from some exotic Southern region where they have spent the winter - they will be here some time in the end of May. The spring has started to come here with such a speed that it seems that every day there is something new to see: new birds have arrived, new flowers started to bloom, the grass is a bit greener and the rhubarb shoots a bit bigger. We have really been waiting for the spring after such a long and snowy winter! - The background map is from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://elegiashop.blogspot.com"&gt;Elegia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'s digital sheet, the swallows and the compass rose are googled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-799959690736066361?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/799959690736066361/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-muses-kartat-maps.html#comment-form' title='16 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/799959690736066361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/799959690736066361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-muses-kartat-maps.html' title='The Three Muses: Kartat / Maps'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S8VlK9feqkI/AAAAAAAAAe8/YZ46zO8VgL0/s72-c/swallowsmap_pieni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-7690824673045192637</id><published>2010-04-07T18:43:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2010-04-07T18:56:39.730+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='linnut'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altered book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='altsukirja'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Blackbird / Mustarastas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S7yocqlY8aI/AAAAAAAAAe0/Nc7rBE1z2pw/s1600/helloblackbird_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 285px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S7yocqlY8aI/AAAAAAAAAe0/Nc7rBE1z2pw/s400/helloblackbird_pieni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457422058887115170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-muses-challenge-blackbirds.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt; "Mustarastas"-aiheiseen haasteeseen tein tämän aukeman altsukirjaani. Koska en tähän aikaan vuodesta sano mustarastaille näkemiin (niinkuin haasteessa esitetty lainaus "Bye bye blackbird" vihjaa) vaan Tervetuloa isolla T:llä, niin laitoin kollaasini otsikoksi "Hello Blackbird". Mustarastaat aloittivat kevätlaulunsa täällä viime sunnuntaina, ja nyt niitten voi kuulla viheltävän voimakasta sävelmäänsä joka aamu, ja aina korkeimpien kuusten latvoissa. Kevät on viimeinkin alkanut!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This spread from my altered book is my entry for the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-muses-challenge-blackbirds.html"&gt;Three Muses'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; challenge "Blackbirds". Their theme actually was "Bye bye blackbird", but this time of the year is not for saying bye bye but Hello! and Welcome, Blackbirds! They started their spring concerto here last Sunday, and now we can hear their loud whistling tune every morning - and they always sit on the highest branches of the trees.

Käsityön museossa on avoinna (23.5.2010 asti) kaksi oikein mielenkiintoista paperiaiheista näyttelyä: "Paperista taidetta", jossa Suomen eturivin paperitaiteilijat esittelevät ajankohtaisia teoksiaan, ja "Jokapäiväinen paperimme", joka kertoo paperin valmistuksesta ja käytöstä kautta historian ja kautta maailman. Paperikoulun luentona kuultiin UPM-Kymmenen Kulttuurisäätiön toiminnanjohtajan Eero Niinikosken eloisa ja asiantunteva luento paperin historiasta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paperikoulun työpajoissa tehtiin paperiveistoksia pellava- ja puuvillapaperimassasta paperitaiteilija Eija Isojärven opastuksella, tutustuttiin paper stitching -tekniikkaan tekstiilimuotoilija Marika Tyynismaan kanssa sekä käytiin vanhojen kirjojen kimppuun lastentarhanopettaja Liisa Mattilan altered book -pajassa. - Yllä olevassa kuvassa on omia paperiveistos-aikaansaannoksiani, alla olevissa kuvissa paper stitching -työni sekä altsukirjani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paperi osoittautui niin näyttelyiden kuin työpajojenkin perusteella erittäin monipuoliseksi materiaaliksi, jota voi muotoilla ja käyttää loputtoman monilla tavoilla. Historiaosuuksista kävi ilmi se, miten keskeinen tekijä paperi on ollut koko nykyisen kulttuurimme ja sivilisaatiomme kehityksen kannalta. Kannattaa siis tutustua tähän aihepiiriin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Last weekend I attended Paper School in Jyväskylä, Central Finland. The school was arranged by the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.craftmuseum.fi/english/index.htm"&gt;Craft Museum of Finland&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, and it included a visit to two exhibitions (comtemporary Finnish paper art and history of paper), a lecture about the history of paper making and paper usage, and three workshops. In the workshops we made paper sculpture (my piece is in the photo above), paper stitching and altered books (my pieces are in the photos below). Paper is a very versatile material, suitable for many kinds of crafting and designing. The history of paper shows what an enormously important role paper has played in the development of our culture and civilization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S6c_BPDs4jI/AAAAAAAAAeM/JLDnPJebyOc/s1600-h/Paper_stiching_web.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 393px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S6c_BPDs4jI/AAAAAAAAAeM/JLDnPJebyOc/s400/Paper_stiching_web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451395164409750066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S6c_M-67HHI/AAAAAAAAAeU/-22YcEMYSV0/s1600-h/Altered_book_web.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 194px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S6c_M-67HHI/AAAAAAAAAeU/-22YcEMYSV0/s400/Altered_book_web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451395366236396658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-1076737519335302678?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/1076737519335302678/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/03/paperikoulu-paper-school.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/1076737519335302678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/1076737519335302678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/03/paperikoulu-paper-school.html' title='Paperikoulu / Paper School'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S6c4j88xy-I/AAAAAAAAAeE/RRU6KnNlZRY/s72-c/Paperiveistokset_web.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-6897584878677374935</id><published>2010-03-17T09:22:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-03-17T09:39:59.709+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vapaat kortit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perhoset'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='available cards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Three Muses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='butterflies'/><title type='text'>The Three Muses: Incognito</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S6CDT0qBiwI/AAAAAAAAAd0/t5iUZjbUepk/s1600-h/incognito001_pieni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S6CDT0qBiwI/AAAAAAAAAd0/t5iUZjbUepk/s400/incognito001_pieni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449499925693958914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tällä atc:llä osallistun &lt;a href="http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/03/three-muses-challenge-42-incognito.html"&gt;Kolmen Muusan&lt;/a&gt; haasteeseen "Incognito" eli tuntemattomana esiintyminen.

Tämä aika tuntuu menneen tosi nopeasti - vaikeaa uskoa että kaikki tämä tekeminen ja oppiminen ja ystävien löytäminen on tapahtunut vain yhden vuoden aikana. Kiitoksena kaikille teille ihanille lukijoilleni ja kommenttien lähettäjille laitan tähän kolme kuvaa, joita voitte ehkä käyttää omissa jutuissanne (mutta vain henkilökohtaisiin tarkoituksiin, ei kaupalliseen käyttöön). Tässä on vanha perhoskortti siivittämään kevään odotusta, vanha kissakortti toivottamaan Hauskaa Pääsiäistä sekä kansilehti hienoine raameineen vanhasta Beethoven-nuottivihkosta, josta kaikki muut lehdet ovat kadonneet. Kiitos teille kaikille - lähdetäänpä sitten kohti vuotta kaksi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;March 16 is the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;first anniversary of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;my blog! This time seems to have gone really fast - it's hard to believe that all this crafting and blogging and learning and making friends has happened in just one year. To thank all of you wonderful people who have been reading and commenting my blog I'm posting here three images which you maybe can use in your own collages (please, only for personal use). Here's an old postcard with butterflies to celebrate the coming of spring, another old postcard with two cats wishing Happy Easter, and the cover page with a wonderful frame from an old Beethoven music book (this is the only page left from it). Thank you all - and please join me to the second year of my blog!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S56lLLG7oyI/AAAAAAAAAdk/Y-ZHSBu065U/s1600-h/Cats_with_Moon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S56lLLG7oyI/AAAAAAAAAdk/Y-ZHSBu065U/s400/Cats_with_Moon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448974210543887138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S56lZ3iJteI/AAAAAAAAAds/mw8QMfClxhU/s1600-h/Beethoven_Sonate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S56lZ3iJteI/AAAAAAAAAds/mw8QMfClxhU/s400/Beethoven_Sonate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448974462987384290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-150932001065651505?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/150932001065651505/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/03/mun-blogini-on-1-vuotias-my-blog-has.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/150932001065651505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/150932001065651505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/03/mun-blogini-on-1-vuotias-my-blog-has.html' title='Mun blogini on 1-vuotias! / My blog has its 1st anniversary! - with some freebies to thank you'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S56hWwF0vBI/AAAAAAAAAdc/SDs9aud-La0/s72-c/Butterflies.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432676170995481237.post-434928437396889726</id><published>2010-03-11T18:30:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-03-11T18:41:54.772+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vapaat kortit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kevät'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='linnut'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='available cards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Theme Thursday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spring'/><title type='text'>Theme Thursday: Spring / Kevät</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S5ka7x9Ti9I/AAAAAAAAAdU/5Zzuiu4NyWg/s1600-h/Spring2010_web.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S5ka7x9Ti9I/AAAAAAAAAdU/5Zzuiu4NyWg/s400/Spring2010_web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447414838606400466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tällä ATC:llä osallistun &lt;a href="http://themethursday.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/thursday-challenge-spring/"&gt;Theme Thursdayn&lt;/a&gt; haasteeseen, jonka aiheena on "Kevät". Minun mielestäni kevät on todella tullut silloin, kun nurmikolla alkaa kasvaa uusia vihreitä lehtiä ja kun muuttolinnut palaavat tänne kesäksi. Mutta siihen on vielä pitkä aika, koska kaikki on edelleen vähintään puolen metrin paksuisen hangen alla...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This ATC is my entry for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://themethursday.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/thursday-challenge-spring/"&gt;Theme Thursday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'s challenge "Spring". For me, spring is here when the grass starts growing new green leaves and the migrating birds come back here for the summer. But that's still a long way ahead - everything here is covered with at least half a meter of snow...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432676170995481237-434928437396889726?l=saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/feeds/434928437396889726/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/03/theme-thursday-spring-kevat.html#comment-form' title='7 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/434928437396889726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5432676170995481237/posts/default/434928437396889726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saksetjaliimaa.blogspot.com/2010/03/theme-thursday-spring-kevat.html' title='Theme Thursday: Spring / Kevät'/><author><name>Eila A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02688805800537125747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/Sb6E49auiFI/AAAAAAAAABE/xTHLi6e271c/S220/Min%C3%A4+itse+Pirjo+Oravan+kuvaamana.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V-C8dlICxI8/S5ka7x9Ti9I/AAAAAAAAAdU/5Zzuiu4NyWg/s72-c/Spring2010_web.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry></feed>
