I grew up in what others called a “crafting family”. Point #2: I have always had multiple vivid dreams each night. Point #3: I haven’t done much but read for the last year.

Lately, many of my dreams have turned terrifying. Sometimes I awake and am unwilling to go back to sleep. Last week, when dreams turned especially grim, I got out a bookbinding project that has laid dormant for years. I also went back to playing music for 20-30 minutes a day.

About that same time, my dreams went from scary to just normal weird. I was an engineer and so don’t feel I have a good enough metric to say these two things are related, but I would like them to be.

So I am resorting to the lazy-man’s approach: I am sharing a thing, hoping to hear thoughts one way or another.

Also: last night I watched a vid about #suminagashi. Anyone have tips to share?

Unendlich viele Möglichkeiten

Marmorieren ist jedes Mal ein bisschen wie Zauberei. Und ich kann es kaum erwarten, weiterzuzaubern und den Outcome mit euch zu teilen – ihr könnt euch auf jeden Fall schon mal auf bunte Farben und schöne Muster freuen! 🌈

Hey, ich bin Gisi.
Kreativ, mit viel Herz.

Ich liebe es Papier zu marmorieren und daraus schöne Dinge zu gestalten.

Hier möchte ich gerne zeigen, was beim Marmorieren alles möglich ist und was daraus entstehen kann.

Na dann, los geht's. 😊

For #SciArtSeptember prompt enchanted: Kepler’s Somnium. This hand-printed linocut illustrates astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler’s science fiction story Somnium, or “The Dream”. Kepler (1571-1630) wrote the strange manuscript in Latin, and circulated it amongst friends, with the intention of eventually publishing it but he died before that could could happen. 🧵1/n
