The purple cow, that turned philosophical

Blog-Merry-Go-Round : What is your purple cow?

From Millan.Net

There is appearently a concept that I hadn't heard about before the members of this blog-merry-go-round brought it up. As I grasp it, it means what it is what make my creations unique, stand out, the essence of what I create.

This is a very interesting question indeed, and well worth thinking about. Every now and then you need to try and see what it is that you are making. I have often find it hard to know what others see in my things that makes them say that it is a typical Jenny Karlsson - design. Perhaps you don't see your creations as special and more like something that got created just like that. Then again, that might be just the thing that makes it stand out. The things that I like surely does show off in the designs in some way or another; by choice of material, style, how one should use it etc. I still find it hard to see the essence in it, it makes it sound as if there is a will of its own that wants to be put forward and become real somehow. Still there must be something there, perhaps we all leave a little piece of ourselves in the items we make - without loosing it, more like the creativity grows than deminishes - the more you give the more you get. And perhaps that is felt somehow in and around the items, like that there is a feeling about it that the beholder can see and feel.

Still, if I should have a look and point out the uniqueness
I try to make things of quality, feeling, fun, nostalgia, inspired by nature, beauty, pure materials, recycled, upcycled, waste not..
This is what I have in a little bottle of elixir and weave into my creations.

Nothing is really new under the sun. More like reinvented, reborn and recycled.

The day before the fair

Tomorrow it is time for the first of four Chrismas fairs for me. I read on the information page that I got that if you sell out all your things before the actual closing time, you shall discretely sneak out. I just have never had that thought - to sell out all your things. I am thinking about that I wouldn't mind knowing how that feels - not to mention the fact that you don't have to carry so much things afterwards. :D
I think I'll spend the day with positive thoughts about selling heaps and hope for the best. Yep, that'll I'll do! And I'll have a bit to get done today when I get home from work.. Phew. But it's fun, so it's not that much of a bother.

Time for work, again.
Picture is from last year.

New bags to be found!

The third wednesday of the month of November

Well, work tend to get in the way of creative work and blogging once again..
I was up until 2:30am yesterday, working on this and that. It is time for Christmas inspiration and Christmas fairs, and I guess I will be up late for a few nights more.. Now I have to be off to work though so have a nice day!

friday

work work off to work I go.

I'm packing stuff together that Nina at Magic Pumpkins & Faery Dust will bring to the Country Living Christmas Fair in Glasgow, Scotland! I am so glad that she wants to do this for me and I need to get it all sorted out and ship off as soon as possible.
I'll stick to rather light weight things which are the easiest to ship..

Yay Christmas fairs! Yay!
