CSI No 264

I am doing my PL-album and mix the photos with some LO. Now I have come to November 2017 in my album and wanted to make something of my playing interest (organ). As one of the theme in CSI (see link)  was about books, I chosed to write about the chorale (hymn) book (Swedish: psalm book).

Here is the LO, a mix of old things and new for example Maja design paper:

And here is the inspiration picture from CSI:

I chosed the traditional CSI, as it really help my fantasy to bloom, so here are the clues:

All colors

Evidence: text print, metal, animal, fabric (felt), jar, puffy stickers, ink the edges, lots of layers

Testimony: Write about book

Here are some closer views:

Animal of felt, a lot of layers.

Metal, text print, inked edges, lot of layers

Animal. I have added extra numbers and music washi tape - because the LO is about the chorale book that has one number per chorale.

Jar, puffy stickers, felt flower, documentation of the hymn book. Here I chosed my top 3 hymns from the book: 199, 122, 386. You can also see the calender with November, where I made 2 circles for the dates I was playing. 

If I translate the journaling: 

When I graduated from the cantor (organist) exam, we should be able to sing right away avista from the chorale book, so I and my friend Charlotte sang all 694 hymns out in the sunshine with a flute as help. Playing the organ to the chorales is the main music element i a church service. I have been a temporary employee for the German church (before 1999) and now in Rissne church, where there are many musical members, and sometimes you get comp from both bass and drums. I have played many instruments, but to play church organ is by far the most difficult thing!

I have many favorite psalms: the summer psalm: "The flower time now comes" (199), the advent psalm: "The day is coming" (122) and the baptismal psalm "Up of wild deep water" (386).

CSI no. 239

Hi, another CSI case (see link) I really wanted to do, to document the summer.

Here is my LO:

Here is the case:

I followed the sketch, and the colors in the scheme, and then I chosed the testimony topic: "summer" and inspiration word: "summer" in the journaling. 
The evidence I used was:  Thin stripes, flowers, leaves, music elements, flamingo, pineapples, speech bubbles, wood, washi tape.

Here is some closer views of my evidence and in the end journaling:

Flamingo, music elements (guitarr and music notes), washi tape.

Flower, leaves, pineapple and wood.

Speech bubble, thin stripes, another flamingo, wood. 

The journaling translated from Swedish to English:

"Summer 2017 - Spain

Every summer has so much expectations, but this summer felt so chill already before we went to Villajoyosa. What I remember most was the relaxing... in the sun chair, reading, no plans, just me, Patrik and Ylva...but then also Markus after Joel+friends went home. Good drinks - specially the Pina Colada in Moraira. Restaurants - Old town. Walking - along the beach in the morning. "

Thanks for watching!

Veckans Skiss Sommarutmaning #1

Självklart ville jag också hoppa på sommarutmaning nr 1 för Veckans Skiss, och den har jag klurat länge på. Eftersom musiken upptagit större delen av hela mitt liv passade det så jättebra att göra en LO av den skiss som innehöll notrader bland annat, och eftersom vi skulle inspireras av en egen vald sommarsång så ville jag välja foton där vi i familjen spelar tillsammans i sommarstugan. Efter mycket letande i mina gamla album hittade jag ett par foton.

Skissen ser ut så här, och den sång jag förknippar mest med sommaren är "Den blomstertid nu kommer...". 

Alla minnen som dyker upp när jag hör sången, har jag dokumenterat ned, så därför blev det mycket text på denna LO. 

Skissen har jag tolkat så här:  

Jag placerade notraden (tejp) längst ned. De stora not-symbolerna på skissen har blivit stora blommor och en härligt gul rosett som jag vann från Veckans skiss. 

Chevron-pilarna har jag använt sparsamt men valde de jag har i trä (jag associerar trä med vår stuga).

Här är själva sången: Den blomstertid nu kommer, psalm 199. Den har jag spelat många gånger när jag vikarierat som kantor. 

(Fast den som kan läsa noter ser att det inte är rätt noter på min not-stämpel för själva sången).

Rolig och riktigt klurig utmaning, som tog en månad för mig att tänka ut!
