I was painting Christmas Cards last night-all with the traditional "tomten",snow,candles....and then I painted this Angel-it became very different from my other angels-not as much as a Christmas Card that I had in mind-judge for yourself/Thank You!

Long time since I visited my blog...have not been' painting or drawing much at all-I guess sometimes you just do not have any energy or inspiration ..especially when sad things happends and they brake your heart...!! my mother passed away in june this year and one of my dear girl friends got a seizure and lost her life as well....two weeks later! Hard to think and feel more than devastation and emptiness and -deep sorrow. Time will heel-so,I get back when I feel...blessed enough to still be alive/love marja-leena

On a happier note I can now say that I managed to take care of my parents to the point that I can feel safe in my heart -I no longer have to worry about their well beeing'-they are both in great care and I am very grateful to the finnish society(goverment) as to how they take care of their elderly!!KIITOS PALJON SUOMEN MAA!!!

My little store was broken into and they stole all my silver items (thank God I did not have any gold..)It seemed like they knew exactly where to go and how to open the glass cabinets..35 years of collection gone' in a few minutes!!! I had some beautiful "Slave Bracelets" made by native indians w/ coral and turqouise inlays,very old and hard to come by...I also had a great collection of Kalevala jewelry from Finland,those pieces you can NOT find any more..I am wondering if they took it only for the silver-that thought is killing me since the value was not in the silver-it was in the craftmanship,the uniqueness and the superb work...my heart is crying!
