more unicorns...

Unicorns do exist
Proof below :-)

They have a thing with rainbows and lasers, their best friend is a space-cat, their meat is magic and even Obama likes  them..

pluk de dag

it's not very photogenic, but i am verrrrrrry happy with my new bernina
it can sew an alphabet and memorises buttonholes and the sound is sooo smooth.
pretty expensive as well, but hey "seize the day"!

ici-ou-la


while we were at a little cute festival in indre (france), we took the opportunity to visit nantes and la machine.
sitting in the huge carrousel (three levels!) on a scampi, we felt like kids again  (actually we always do).

Joel Penkman

this is what his website tells about Joel Penkman:

I love food, and I love to paint, so combining the two seemed like a good idea.

My compositions are simple still-life studies with clean backgrounds to make easier for individuals to make a connection. Food triggers memories and emotion, I like that people can bring something of themselves to the artworks. My favourite medium is egg tempera. It is very time consuming as I make the gesso to prepare my boards and grind my own paint to mix, but the results are worth it.

I was born in 1979 in New Zealand were I grew up. After finishing my degree in Graphic Design at Canterbury University's School of Fine Art, I moved to the UK where I have worked as a graphic designer and most recently a freelance designer and artist.

I hope my pictures will make people smile.

they certainly make us smile!!

azùcar

On the way back from flachau, we stopped at a local supermarket, where I couldn't pass the sugar compartment without buying some, just for the nice package....silly!

foggy flachau

fog, sun, käseknödelsuppe (looks like boiled brains, but tastes yummie!), a beautiful view and some arty farty clouds, we had it all on our family skiing trip to flachau, austria.

we even saw a lady giving her dog a hike down the mountain IN her backpack :-)
