There is a place that only the night people know.

& Hello once again.

It is night time right now, hence the title. I am awake right now, too (Nooo, I guess you thought I*d be typing these entries while sleeping, eh? You were WRONG!).

The good thing about being awake at night time is that you have the most brilliant ideas (at least many people I know support these wise words ;D). However, I have been rather creative with ideas recently, too, no matter at what day time, and I want to share with you ...

... THE LIST. OF DOOM ... & PROJECT IDEAS!

My step sister*s pregnant right now, and I did promise a very close friend* of mine to make her one for each of her children, too : A quilt. I guess this is a project that demands some persistence, but still it is possible to do. I also recently saw some fabrics that were a-effing-mazing, and I really should do this!

Maybe I could make some (simple) music instruments. I actually used to have an instruction for this in a book :D. I also saw that some page (Thomann, I think) sells "Build your own electric guitar" kits, and this is a-effing-mazing, too, because I can ask my stepfather* to help me build it ... AND I can still work on the design/print myself and so on. I have never done this, though.

I want to craft some lanterns for Martin*s Day (because I love that day!). Also, kites are great, aren*t they? (Mhm!) I don*t mean those things you yourself hang in (even though that sounds exciting :D), but those things with some cord attached that you get to fly in the air then ... ^o^ Anyways, I want to make a kite myself. And a lantern!

Maybe some things I can wrap around books (like a wrapper). With related images to the single books ;).

I also want to maybe post some HTML (& maybe CCS) tutorials for web design.

Another idea is to make clothes for other people around me ... ^^ And I want to make a certain kind of belt for myself!! Won*t tell you the entire idea until it*s done, though. However, talking about this now, I also want to make clothes for myself :).

And besides that, I want to participate in the February Album Writing Month, because I miss composing & I really think it would be an awesome idea! And the National Novel Writing Month has to be successfully done, too. Maybe I will have the chance to go to a music festival next year, so I will need some things then, too.

I am also planning to write more songs, more poems, more stories (or any at all *hides*), and to draw and paint more/at all next year!! :) I hope you will like the results aswell.

Have a great time, until we meet again!!

Not about heartache.

Glad that you are fine,
I am wandering around,
Seeking for myself,
Finding no way out.

Silently embracing
What happened to be you
No-one can listen to me
No-one does like you do

And even though you*re facing
This hole of endless dirt
It*s time and place embracing
Lonely, I am hurt ...

Hello,

and sorry for the fact I haven*t posted anything in here lately. I was really busy, to be frank. Anyways! I "took advantage" of a situation that arose two days ago (Thursday) and wrote a poem to sort of "deal with this better".

It is not about heartache or about a romantic-love situation. In fact, it is about the shadow of a friendship that sneaked out the door years ago ... And it still hurts sometimes to read things this person wrote about me, even though I will not go into detail with this.

I hope you will like it nevertheless!

Fallen Through The Wonders ...

Hello again,

let*s start this entry with a new poem, shall we? :D

These white stairs to heaven
Are world-wide wonders, also given
Into my hands, and blood is flowing
Down where heaven*s doors are glowing.

And while the music*s gently throbbing,
The world keeps getting ever clearer.
And when it*s vanished in the dusk,
I sense that we are getting nearer.

Sheer wonders held by eyes now staring,
Embraced, but falling then apart.
I wonder why it*s me now caring,
about the end, about the start.

The poem is called "Fallen Through The Wonders ..." and I already posted it at my DeviantArt anyways :). I do hope you like it after all.

Also, even though I know I have been absent for an eternity of time, I wasn*t being lazy or avoiding anything creative. In fact, I started writing a myriad of songs as it seems but I am not sure about whether or not I like them that much yet. I also re-discovered some older songs of mine, and how awesome they were :D, and I will post as many of them as soon as possible. :)

I hope you are having a great time until the next entry (and also in general). Have a nice evening/night/morning/day, whatever refers to you and your time at home ;).

All the best from me to you!! 

PS : It was inspired by a video/song I watched/listened to actually. ;)

Wide-eyed wanderers, unite!

I was never gone :D. Maybe I was a little distracted at some times, but I didn*t forget about this place and I come bearing one gift (Actually I have got five in the back ... I am just to shy to post them all now ;___; ... However, if you really want me to, I will post them soon, too!).

Yesterday I decided to record myself singing, and even though I did make several mistakes most likely, I like the results. I sang, in the following order, "Farbenspiel Des Winds" (The English title*s "Colours Of The Wind" I guess, and it is from Disney*s Pocahontas), "Tonleitern Und Arpeggios" ("Scales And Arpeggios" is the English title I think; it is from Disney*s Aristocats), "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" (by Elton John; it was part of the songs sung in Disney*s Lion King ...), "Memory" from the musical Cats, and "Spiegelbild" ("Reflection"; from Disney*s Mulan) ...

Here I will only give you "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" by Elton John. Please don*t be angry because of the bad quality; I used my mp3 player to record it ... And I know part of the text is wrong, but I didn*t want to record it just another time to make it more perfect ... :\ Please don*t be angry. You can find the file here. °^^° What do you think?

Tarot, pt. 2 (High Priestess + Empress)

Hellooo!! :)

Okay, so today I made the fourth tarot card for my deck (The Empress), and thought it was about time to share this card, and the card representing the High Priestess here, too. ^_^

I will say something about each card underneath. Let*s start, shall we?

The High Priestess (II) :

So, what to say? The card itself, as you may know, refers to one*s intuition, and to following the latter. My sister* said the woman here looks like Iustitia (I hope I spelled her name right), but that was not my intention. She is holding her book as this symbolizes wisdom, and the notes and the blindfold point to her intuition (At least to me that makes perfect sense ;D!). She is following her intuition and doing what she feels is right for her, creating a new surrounding.

The next card is the Empress (III) :

Now this card shows a pregnant woman in nature who is enjoying the beauty of the plants, water, etc. surrounding her. She is standing in a pond, and in the background there is a bunny (It is supposed to be one!) and the water circles of Atlantis ^^. The card "Empress" stands for fertility and what this can create in one*s life. :)


The mediums used for colouring them were a pencil, and crayons, and colour felt-tips. I hope you like them. If you want to, you may always comment on the posts; I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

Memes ...!

I found a great page recently with many, many memes for yourself to work your way through ;D. Of course, some seemed really interesting to me. I will be posting my results from two memes on here, which are *drum roll, please!* :

The 30 Day Photography Challenge & the 30 Day Super Awesome Drawing Challenge ...

It will start as soon as possible ;D. Probably even today, but I cannot promise this yet. I am still working my way through two other memes, and still -- I really want to do this!

I have to admit, photography-wise I am not a really big talent, because I have no real account of anything I took a photo of. I also remember when I tried, my hands started shaking, like in panic. I don*t know why, though. Maybe it will vanish when I practice a little, and maybe photography will turn out a really great new hobby for me ;D. I also like the way it makes you be as open for the results as possible by only naming subjects but no "You have to do this and this and this". Much room for creativity!!

As for drawing ... Well ... Yeah, I love drawing :D. I am looking forward to it, really. :)

Also, I wanted to ask something. Does anybody of you know of any competitions/challenges for people writing blogs on any creative subject? That*d be awesome!!

Feel free to comment~!

Haiku tiiime!! :)

I wrote some haiku lately, and wanted to share them with you of course :). Hope you will like them; I also posted them on DeviantART already ...

Dawn

Morning has come now

Birds are singing all night long

It*s fading away

Underneath the Surface

Colours claiming life

It*s impossible to win

Once they tell a lie

Rain

Writing stories is

Like rain pouring down on me

It can*t be broken

The last one was written today, when I wanted to use my self-made book (I really made a book recently. Paperback type!) for the first time. It will be a creative-idea-collection book then. *nods*

I hope you like them all. "Dawn" and "Underneath the Surface" were written really, really early one day (It was still night.). Maybe that helps interpreting them :P.

Tarot :) (Fool + Magician)

Ohhh yeaaah. ^^

How have you guys been recently? I have been rather busy I guess ^^. But I decided to get creative today, and start working on my first full self-made tarot deck. Of course, I wanted to start off with my favourite card of every tarot deck, the FOOL. It was based on another FOOL card I have once made, and then lost (No comment), and I WUV it. And you know what WUV stands for. "Willy uses victory". Imagine Willy to be a Pokémon ...

Anyways, here is my beautiful, beautiful FOOL card ("Narr" is German of course ^^) :

Don*t you just simply love it? It was made with crayons and colour felt-tips, and yes, he has a cat face. ^^ It is an adventure that just begins, and it is playful, it is a bit (or a lot) surrealism-inspired ... I hope you like it just as much as I do. ^^

And here is the second one, and the last one I made today, the MAGICIAN ("Magier" in German) :

The book has "Es ist Dein Weg." written on it, which translates as "It is your way." I am aware that the magician himself doesn*t show up here, but I wanted to create the sense of "It is YOUR time to take the initiative!" ^^


Tell me what you think if you like!

Don*t envy the suns.

Good day everybody!

How are you all? Today I finished a certain drawing/painting of mine. It feels strange to call this "painting", bu then again, there are so many colours in it :P. Well, as you can see, it is called "Don*t Envy The Suns". Please try to find the meaning in it yourself; it does have several meanings to me already. And even though the woman really looks a bit strange, too, I like the picture.

Aaand I sort of forgot about this picture several weeks ago, and found it again this morning, and used my opportunity ;D.

What do you think? It was coloured with crayons as you can see!

Ah yes, and tomorrow, the CD "Gift" by ZIZ is going to be released! I hope I can purchase it ... And I found some flashcards and I know already what to do with them (NEW TAROT DECK, HERE I COME!!!). ^^

Have a nice day everybody!

And, btw, I need H E L P !!

I am currently searching for a decent program to write, program, record, etc. music with. I came across Mu.Lab which seems to be quite okay, but then again I am not sure about the system requirements. :( I want to write something musical so badly!! I dislike not doing much musically (I am only able to sing right now. Sure singing is great, but then again, I want to do all kinds of things ...).

Also most likely many of my former songs I wrote are gone ... Yes, pity me now. :P I know I can still re-write them ...

So, if you know a good program, or even just a website I can use, please tell me. I know one site, too, but then again it only offers a limited amount of notes. Oô

I am still alive!! :D

What*s up, people? I hope you are alright, and in a good mood. Me being not here very often DOESN*T mean I didn*t get to do anything creative at all. It just means that I wasn*t here in some time. :)

I first want to share with you a picture I drew inspired by a challenge for 101 to be done in 1001 days, and I drew it on my birthday which was on the 2nd of May. It shows my favourite musician of all time, whose name is Közi. He is the best, and I had a good time drawing it, plus I always like the expression in these pictures.

Here it is *ahem*!

I hope you like it :).

I n s p i r a t i o n ?

Recently, I bought myself a collection of colo(u)red crayons. I think there were many included in this, and even though I did not have many good ideas as to how to (ab)use them, I will hopefully get to use them tomorrow. Or tonight; if I cannot sleep at all ... :D [I also want to write a few letters and maybe use them to make the pieces of paper more interesting after all. (But in a way that I will be able to write still ...)]

So please look forward to new pictures coming :).

I will not leave you with only promises; I really want to expand my creative ... projects and reach out for my possibilities. Therefore, I am thinking of giving you some advice. I find it was very nicely put in the following videos :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1E4aeCTg7s
("29 ways to stay creative".)
This has indeed very nice ideas as to what you can do to be more creative. Even though I do consider it creativity when you sit at your computer and create pieces of art/music/writing/etc. on it, but I am aware of the power of ideas you can have when not being on your computer. Sometimes they come randomly. What I think is really important is that you just let ideas come to you, and don*t try to bash yourself because of the quality of your ideas. Just try them out; it always happens to me then that I get better ideas for what I can do, also partly from the things I just wrote down!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JUFjTOM32g
("Best motivational video ever for creative people and startups".)
This one is more about an attitude you should keep in mind. I don*t want to go too much into detail, but it is eye-opening for me, and I think ... Well, if you really want to do something, if you have the idea, try it out. There is this option of trying and failing, but you can still stand up and create better ideas out of your options before! :)

I also recommend reading some texts on the following site; it has helped me countless times :
http://www.tinybuddha.com
There is a lot of wisdom on this site, and I just love the ideas and attitudes ... And I can still find myself in them. (My favourite recommendation thus far was about how to make decisions. Just write your options down on a piece of paper, cut each option out, fold them together and put them in something like a hat, a box, or whatever; then draw your option. If you feel unhappy about your result, this is not the right decision to make :) ...)

So, yeah, I will wander off now, and most likely get creative. I usually spend that time sleeping, but right now I am not feeling tired at all. A possible YAY for that! I will upload it as soon as possible then.

Sorry that this didn*t include anything "artistic" from me. I just wanted to share this with you and maybe cheer you up. (BTW, I do think everybody is creative in a certain way. It is just a matter of how people look at things ... Creativity also comes from excitement, and excitement comes from love/loving what you do.)

Be Yourself

And here is Number two. It is about being yourself, and how important that is ... There is no difference between who you are and who you want to be; at least not for me!

You Are My World

I don*t have much to tell you about this, other than I drew two pictures today, and this is the first. There is a saying that goes like : "Humans are angels with only one wing. It is just when they embrace that they can fly.", and this inspired me in the end to draw the picture I am going to share with you now. :)

I hope you will like it!
