Some snapshots I made using my phone yesterday as we drove from Bergen to Vik and then to Jølster over the Gaular mountain. Yes thats a stave church. Yes it was scary driving the bendy road i the thick fog.

Photo of Hopperstad stave church from 1130. Its made from wood and there are 4 carved heads of dragons on the roofs. The church has been stained in black.

Photograph taken from the ferry from Vangsnes to Dragsvik. The village the can be seen on the left side is Balestrand. There are clouds in the sky and also clinging to the sides of the mountains.

Photograph taken from the viewing terrace on the Gaular mountain. You can see mountains and clouds are obscuring the valley below them. Up from the side of the valley towards the viewing terrace, there is a very winding road with many sharp turns.

New listing in my Etsy^_^ #kusudama #origami #handmade

Photograph of a type of origami called a kusudama. Its looks like a ball of flowers, each petal is purple on the outside, and has silver vinyl on the inside that makes in reflect light. There are sequins, beads and a tassel as well, and its hanging. The back ground is more kusudama that are out of focus. The lighting and short focal length gives the picture a dreamy look.

Yesterday, over a 100 homes burned down in Drammen, Norway. Luckily, only 3 people have sustained mild injury. But man, the images from the fire is harrowing.

Photo by Alexander Janson / Drammen LIVE 24. Its depicts some row houses that have been saved from the fire, butt in the back, there is only rubble and at least 9 chimneys left. There is still thick smoke in the air. And a few flames still sticking up.

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· Jul 7

I have been making the art and the origami lately, also working on the house and some other secret stuff. But today, the sun came out and I am getting some vitamin D!

Photo taken while I am sitting in the comfy chair next to the patio. My legs are on the footrest and I have taken of my socks and rolled up the sweats so the sun can shine on them.

The first and probably last World Cup related meme I have ever made.

A silly sketch I did that depict three patrons sitting at a bar and a bartender is asking: "Where's Norway?" The patron sitting closest to him is wearing a Sweden jersey and answers "Still at the World Cup". The one on the right is wearing a orange jersey from Netherlands, the one on the left of him, is wearing a German jersey.

Photograph of a framed rainbow mandala print in A5 size. My cat named Snø (means Snow in Norwegian) is sitting next to the frame, looking very unimpressed.

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· Jun 29

Oh its been sooo many years, I would not blame you for forgetting. Also, I have change my handle and it was on DeviantArt^_^ But yea, here is the drawing:

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· Jun 26

The journey continues with the old frame and sun damaged Zorn-print. I added a acrylic colour first layer and today I did the first layer of oils^_^

Photograph of a a painting in the shit-stage. Its a re-paint of a print with a old frame that has ornamental decor. The frame has been cleaned and then a thin layer of gesso. The background is a sloppy ombre of pink, purple, blue and mint. Then there is a thin layer of oils. The oils shows the moon and Clouds.

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· Jun 24

Also, if anyone knows what these ornaments are made of? As you can see in the photos below, a bit of the bottom has been knocked of at some point and so shows the material thats under the paint.

Photograph of a detail of an old frame. Its very dirty. It looks like they first painted the frame red, then added a layer of gold paint before finishing it of with some brown paint to make it look older. The ornament has a piece at the bottom knocked of, and you can see the material under all the paint. There is also a nail showing.

Photograph of a detail of an old frame. Same as before, but now it has been cleaned.

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· Jun 24

Ok so I bought this framed print at a thrift store. And I might need some help, because I want to paint something else over the print. But hiw do I go about it? Do I remove the print? How do I clean and prepare the frame for paint? Any tips are appreciated!

Photograph of a framed print. The print is a painting by Anders Zorn. The frame is very ornate and classical but I am not sure about the material used. The print has been heavily bleached by the sun and the colour palette is completely of.

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· Jun 22

Ever since I started to make Origami, I have had trouble showing them both at home and at fairs. So when I found the perfect materials at a hardware store, I just bought them. A few days later, one cut finger and hours of work, the Origami Rack is done! #handmade #humanmade

Photograph of the Origami rack. Its made from 3 planks of 100cm x 9,5cm that has been put together, and then there are an additional plank at bottom for added stability, and then four rods spanning across the width at the top of the rack. The top rod is thicker then the 3 others. Its has been painted white.

The Origami Rack with 16 different origami hanging from it.

Photograph of a Sakura Kusudama hanging from the Origami Rack. The petals are pink, and have pastel iridescent vinyl added to the inside of each petal. The centre of each flower has a flower shaper sequin attached, and at the bottom, there is a tassel with beads and sequins, these are mostly out of focus. There are more Kusudama at the edges of the photo, but they are out of focus.

I hope everyone is having a very fantastic weekend! The sale in my shop is still on, and includes prints like this! Yes, I made this. Its a digital drawing, and I print it on command from home. Real art made by a real human;) Because #fuckAI.

Photograph of a A3 sized print thats been framed and placed on a shelf next to a vase of flowers. The frame is black, with a white passpartout. The print is a hexagonal mandala with golden lines. The shapes are coloured with purple from the centre, and then is it expands, it goes through all the colours of the rainbow. The background is a dark maroon. Very gay.

Chrysanthemums is is both very rewarding and frustrating to draw, so having good reference photos can really help. Especially since I discovered that I can merge several photos to get a result where the whole flower can in focus even though I had to shoot it with a macro lens. #referencephoto

Photograph of a single white Chrysanthemum. The flower is facing the light and is fully in bloom. The background is a dusty pale pink. Shot using my Canon EOS 5D mark||| and the 100mm Canon Macro lens.

✨Shameless Self Promotion Saturday✨ Its still June, so I am still running the 25% of everything in my Etsy store^_^ ladykimonoart.etsy.com

Photography of a set of six kusudama, a type of flower origami. They hand from a gnarly branch in front of my teal curtains while the sun is shining on them. They are all in different colours of the rainbow and all have beads, sequins and tassels.

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· Jun 7

The Dahlia is one of my very favourite flowers. This is an oil-painting I did a few years ago, where I wanted to paint a women who is transitioning into her true beautiful self. Happy #Pride ! #artsky #oilpainting #traditionalart

Photograph of an oil-painting on canvas measuring 50x70 cm. The focus of the painting is a women who has made a jump, and is now coming to an elegant landing. She is wearing a beautiful dress in light silks that is shimmering in blues and purples. Her hair is flowing around her and her face is neutral and at piece. Her arms are out to the side, like she used them to hold up the skirt to make it flow for the jump and has just let the skirt go. Behind her is a bouquet of Dahlias. A flower with many meaning, but here they are to mean "beauty through strength and diversity". The background is an ombre of blue, purple and light pink. #artsky

Went to the grocery store this morning and they had small bouquets of Peony (no idea what the plural is) and I set up my camera to see if I could figure out how to take multiple photos with different focus and then merge them. And I did! #peony #flowerphotography #Affinity

Photograph of a warm pink Peony. Its the stem, leaves and flower. The background is a circle gradient with a light yellowish green in the middle that radiates out to a darker bluish green.
The flower itself is just starting to fold out.
The bottom right corner har a watermark that says LadyKimonoArt.com

If you see this, post your blue art 💙

photograph of a painting I did of a ghost moth. The moth is white and almost completely see-through in some places while being opaque in others. I used white and silver acrylic ink for most of it. The background is blue that darkens towards the edges. The edges have and ornamental design on them.
I places the painting on blue curtains that have silver stars on them.

My throat infection is still kicking my ass, but I did want to post something for #mermay so I dug up this old piece. The piece was sold at a convention in Amsterdam a few years back and I still kinda miss it.

A watercolour painting of a mermaid. She is nude and her breast a showing in a non sexual way. She is looking past the viewer, maybe over to some in need of her? Her skin in white and her hair is a pale pink. All very demure.

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· May 27

Looks like I have been getting some new followers lately! Thank you^_^ My name is Ida, I live on the west coast of Norway and I love to paint, draw, fold, photograph and more. I have been sick this week, so I thought this piece was fitting to repost:

Painting of a sign that says "LIFE HAPPENS". I used brown and orange paints for the colours, and then dark blue and white for shades and highlights. The corners of the sign has ornamental décor. The paint was first poured onto the paper to make a splatter pattern.
I also did some edit in Clip Studio Paint.

My mother and I went to a lecture at a local museum (very cool experience) and as we where walking back to the car, I saw this scene: A man with very long dreads, looking at a magpie that was using his scaffolding as a perch. So I decided to sketch it from memory.

Fast and dirty drawing of a black man, wearing a black t-shirt, black overalls and black boots (all with white paint spatter) looking at a magpie whos perched at the top of his scaffolding. The magpie has decided that this spot is perfect and looks to not want to go anywhere. The painter, looks like his wondering how his gonna solve the situation. Very funny.
Text in the upper left corner says: Scene fra Byparken 21.05.2026
"Skjæra og maleren"

LadyKimono@ladykimonoart· May 23

What a cool list! My name is Ida and I am a (mostly) traditional artist from Norway^_^ My fav part of the process is when I feel the sketch is making sense. Playing with the colour scheme. And the feel of brush on paper.

Painting of a blue and orange butterfly with a orange background.

Painting of a lady wearing a purple dress with decorations of sea-life in yellow and mint. Her skin is green and she is longing for the sea.

Painting of a chrysanthemum that had green yellow and purple shade and a green background.

There is a hill close to my house, and its a very nice place, but its always been very overgrown. This year, the neighbourhood has rented goats to make it easier to clean out the overgrowth^_^ I have goats for neighbours!
