Dreamboard. Full Frost Moon. November 2009.

This dreamboard didn’t turn out as I had planned it, not at all. And here I thought I had clear idea for what I wanted to bring into November! Since I’ve been spending my autumn expanding, following my heart, being in my creative process, participating in projects, resetting my internal compass, getting to know new friends and connecting with old ones, I felt it was time to, consolidate. To retreat to my home, to prepare for the holidays, find peace, bring beauty to my home, do yoga and sort out drawers. That is what my dreamboard was supposed to be about, but it took a direction of its own.

What I see is a dreamboard that’s about giving my creativity wings! Finding creative freedom. And a dreamboard strongly influenced by the bright colours of the autumn leaves, that bring me so much joy and inspiration!

For those of you who feel inspired by this dreamboard, I created Satsuma Sky, a desktop wallpaper and calendar for November with this motif. I hope you enjoy it!

November. Chestnuts, satsumas, celeriac, mangos, parsnips and pears. Darker days and candlelit evenings. Shades of orange and brown. I’m so enjoying experimenting with watercolours and collage techniques. This desktop wallpaper takes its cue from the autumn skies, watercolours and the explosive oranges of autumn leaves. A perfect backdrop for both Luminous Orange Folder Icons and Luminous Purple Folder Icons.

The download contains fullscreen, widescreen and iPhone versions.

Dreamboard. Full Harvest Moon. October 2009.

A Dreamboard for the Full Harvest Moon. Layers of transformation, expanding creative expressions, painting, photography, writing, type… The past, the present. And finding a focus for the future.

I was standing in the museum of a castle ruin, reading fascinating (no I’m not being sarcastic) and informative text on those typical museum boards, when suddenly the graffiti on the wall behind the board caught my attention. Or rather came forward to me, like a wave of text, like light, layers and layers of graffiti carved onto the stone wall. And I started to photograph the graffiti, going from room to room, floor to floor, captivated by it, following its light, and forgetting everything else… The earliest date I found was 1609, and the most recent was 2009. It was like a living memorial to all those people. I imagined each person writing their name on the wall, carving glorious moments of stolen kisses, or writing a “here I am, I exist” in the middle of an everyday experience… I wondered if people ever recalled, later on, the moment when they crafted that graffiti…

When I returned from my journey to Öland, my best friend wanted to see my photos from my trip, but I mostly have loads of photos of this graffiti from the castle… One of the images, the one below, was the starting point for this collage, and was meant to be the focal point, and yet it didn’t make it in! Somehow it just got to be too much.

Here is a desktop wallpaper and an October desktop calendar version of my Harvest Moon dreamscape.

Centuries of layered graffiti on the wall of a castle ruin.

October. Russet, plum, dark brown, rust, gold, purple and green. Mushrooms. Candied apples. Figs. Pumpkins. Roasted chestnuts. Halloween. And as I walk down the road, a scattering of acorns, pine cones and oak leaves.

I’ve been working on this image, inspired by my trip to Öland and the graffiti in a medieval castle. Creating a dreamscape in a whole different format when I realised it would work as a desktop wallpaper too, so I adapted the montage with its layers of writing and watercolours to desktop sizes. This download contains fullscreen, widescreen and iPhone versions. Montage wallpaper works very well with the collection of Purple Luminous Folder Icons, the Orange and Pink Folder Icons and Vintage Folder Icons: Purple Grapes.

Blue garden

As summer deepens, progresses, turns towards autumn, my balcony garden turns into shades of blue and purple that bring bumblebees and butterflies to visit. Lavender with bluish-purple flowers and slender, aromatic, grey-green leaves. Mint and chives in purple blossom. The purple haze of Perovskia, Russian sage. Tuscan Calamintha with its cloud of light purple blossoms and its intoxicating scent! Salvia Caradonna, is a real drama queen, with exquisite regal purple flower spikes, on purplish-black stems stained with reddish violet, towering above the foliage! And deep purple, almost black, aubergine ripening.

All these electrifying shades of blue and purple as well as a getting the late summer blues, has inspired me to create both a collection of icons and a wallpaper.

Oh, I love purple! My balcony garden has given me so much inspiration for a much anticipated, brand new collection in the popular series of Luminous folder icons! This time it’s a volume of Luminous Purple Folder Icons.

This colorful series of icons is my take of the folder icon in Mac OS X Leopard. A minimalist folder icon to help you stay productive with neatly organized projects, and in style too! The series comes in a wealth of colours, to brighten your digital landscape and make it personal or to color code your projects.

This summer I’ve been experimenting with minimalist, geometric compositions.

Blue and geometric, is the theme for my new desktop wallpaper. Inspired by September’s birthstone, the sapphire. Members of Club Marmalade Moon also receive a September desktop calendar with this motif.

Rich and royal. Magic, mysterious, extravagant and spiritual purple. The colour of power, wisdom and creativity! The colour that sparks imaginations and speaks of originality.

The series of Luminous folder icons is designed to help you keep your desktop both tidy and inviting by colour coding your projects.

Purple is the colour of royalty. Said to have been Egyptian Queen Cleopatra’s favourite color, purple evokes power, wealth, extravagance, bravery, royalty and magic.

Purple has a rich colour spectrum, and is associated with creativity, wisdom and spirituality, and encourages the imagination. Purple is about being unique, individual and independent. It seeks creative pursuits and originality.
