Wallhangings, wreaths, cigar boxes

After moving from the East Bay to the Coastside of the Peninsula and  a long pause, I’ve started off with renewed energy, and I’m trying my hand at more wool ‘paintings.
Picture
Morning mist. I left my car for an oilchange and walked my dog on the Pillar Poing bluff. I was inspired by the drops caught in the spiderwebs stretched out in the bushes. About 25" x 28" (63 x 76 cm)
Picture
Chipmunk snack. About 18" x 18" (46 x 46 cm)
Picture
Coastside sunset. About 20" x 22" (61 x 56 cm)

East Bay hills. About 28" x 14" (71 x 36 cm)

Havre kärve och domherrar.

(Bunch of oats and
bullfinches).








The Swedish much romanticized 'stuga',
with its 'faluröd' red
paint.
Rafael's puti, kind of mischievious angels.
A forest scene with
fox and talgoxe ('great tit')


This wreath is part of my ambition to illustrate Swedish songs ('visor):

Ekorr'n satt i granen
skulle skala kottar,
fick han höra barnen,
då fick han så bråttom,

Hoppa han från tallegren,
stötte så sitt lilla ben,
och den långa ludna svansen.

Cigar box series

3D diorama made in a cigar box (no smell!)
Meant to either hang on the wall (I've drilled a hole in the back) or stand on a shelf, or anywhere.
Sides and back have been covered with layered tissue paper or art
paper.

"Staffan var en stalledräng




En sockerbagare










Tre pepparkakegubbar



























Svenska visor

Picture
"Bä, bä, vita lamm har du någon ull,
ja,ja, kära barn, jag har säcken full.
Helgdagsrock Åt far och söndagskjol
åt mor,
och 2 par strumpor åt lille, lille bror"


(Swedish version, white sheep, english
version black:

Ba, ba white sheep, do you have any
wool? Yes, dear child I have the sack full. A fine coat for father, a Sunday skirt for mother and 2 pairs of socks for little brother.)

Midsommarnatten plockar jag klöver och
timotej, karibacka och ängsull och ljuva förgätmigej, blåklockor och violer och sen drömmer jag om dig...

(Mid summer night I pick clover, 'timotej', 'karibacka' and 'ängsull' and
sweet forget-me-nots, blue bellls and

violets and then I will dream of you)

You pick 7 flowers, jump 7 stone walls,
then put the flowers under the pillow and dream of whom you'll marry.
