Wild strawberries / Poziomki

When I started looking around for an interesting heart shape strawberries first came to my mind. So I wanted to learn about their presence in Middle Ages.

Oh, wild strawberries, great! They are even better - sweeter and prettier.

Kiedy zaczęłam szukać jakiegoś ciekawego "sercowego" kształtu, przyszły mi do głowy truskawki. Postanowiłam się dowiedzieć czy były też w Średniowieczu.

O, poziomki, super. Nawet lepsze - ładniejsze i słodsze.

So I reached to my "Bible" - "Illuminated Page" by Janet Backhouse, wonderful book about ten centuries of manuscript painting. And it turned out that wild strawberries are everywhere.
A więc sięgnęłam do mojej "Biblii" - książki "Illuminated Page" Janet Backhouse o dziesięciu wiekach manuskryptowych ilustracji. Okazało się, że poziomki są wszędzie.







































I've found them also in "1001 Plant and Floral Illustrations From Early Herbals" by Richard G. Hatton.
Znalazłam je również w "1001 Plant and Floral Illustrations From Early Herbals" Richarda G. Hattona.

Ok, so now just to fill the backround :)
No dobrze, to teraz tylko muszę wypełnić tło :)

Dla mnie co najwyżej Nobel z lenistwa, ewentualnie zasypiania zawsze&wszędzie. I jeśli takie przyznawać zaczną, to za patchworki tym bardziej. Nieprawdaż?
Wtedy się spotkamy na uroczystym wręczeniu certyfikatów! Ja funduję kawę z mojego Nobla!
A podziw mój dla dzieł - i tak pozostanie nieustający! :)

The hen in troubles

Image
Sometimes things are simply overwhelming... I can only guess that keeping balance for this little hen is quite a challenge. But she keeps her face straight. The amount of dishes is truly impressive. To dive or not to dive? Maybe just looking will do the job? But the water seems so joyful and friendly... So maybe, just maybe, all the troubles will turn out to be manageable? Courage, little hen!

Old Garden collection / Ogrodowa kolekcja

Image
Do you remember my mysterious "Old Garden" ? Now I call it finished! Next time when I start something like this, please remind me that it is not the fastest kind of work :) Pamiętacie mój tajemniczy "Stary Ogród" ? Uważam go za skończony! A następnym razem, jak się wezmę za coś takiego, przypomnijcie mi proszę, że to nie jest ekspresowa robótka :) But I have to confess - I love it! And I'm really glad that I made it. Ale przyznaję - uwielbiam go! I bardzo się cieszę, że zrobiłam coś takiego. I'm going to frame it professionally and put on a honorable place on the wall. With the pieces like this it is impossible to sell it - there's no money I would prefer to keep instead of this magical garden. It's not just the matter of the amount of time spent on this. It is more about my thoughts, some ideas and their execution, it is so much "me". Mam zamiar dać go do oprawy, a potem powiesić na honorowym miejscu. Takie rzeczy nie nada...

Spring is coming to the kitchen

Image
With the sun going higher and the days getting longer gotta look for the signs of spring in the kitchen. Little birds say that "Spring is coming to the kitchen" is my newest kitchen portrait in stitches. It is 46 x 57 cm big and contains all kinds of spring surprises. Fresh milk and eggs with the promise of new life accompanied by colorful morning chorus. Clean plates are blooming and fresh water brings much needed vital energy. First greens appear everywhere slowly taking the kitchen space of. Even the old wooden floor can't resist as if trying to connect with sweet blooming memories... So good to see you back, dear Spring! Make yourself at home and stay as long as you wish.
