i´m super-busy preparing a new fabric book!!!
first i wanted to make a book about the doors, but then i realized i couldn´t find enough pics of the band or jim morrison to make a whole book. i was searching the net, but always came up with a few samples of the same pics, mostly even blurry when enlarged. so i decided to give the band 5 pages in a book about the music of the 60ies/70ies.
this is the time music was most important to me. i grew up in a small rural town and f.e. janis sang exactly what i was feeling! – it´s not that i don´t like any music of nowadays, but i think no music will influence me as deep as the songs of this past time – my youth:)
so i´m currently looking for pics of (some of) my favorite bands to print on fabric, for matching background fabrics and i´m browsing the net for their lyrics to pick out some lines to add to the pages. i love this work of searching and composing!! it puts me back to the mood of the 60ies and 70ies. i´m getting sooo nostalgic LOL! and i suppose the book will be a thick one:))
there will be some bands to get a separate book in the future as i can find enough stuff about them: led zeppelin, bob dylan, the rolling stones, the beatles…
i have already made two books last year: about janis joplin and grateful dead. you can see them in my picturetrail.
– in the north i have liverleafs (leberblümchen), anemones (buschwindröschen), corydalis (lerchensporn) and even one hellebore (christrose) opened its blossom (i don´t have too much luck with them, the more i enjoy this one!). – actually we have quite a small garden, but every inch is covered with some flowers at least once in the year:)
