"I wanted to be a ballerina. I changed my mind."

Beverly Cleary



have never dreamed of becoming a ballerina, in my opinion I am just as smooth as a refrigerator. But it does not stop me from enjoying seeing other dance.
This photograph is hanging on my wall in my bedroom. I think it is an incredibly beautiful photograph. It is taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt during a rehearsal for Swan Lake at Grand Opera de Paris. 
I'm also sharing a old school project with You which I did six years ago. It is a self-portrait in clay. If I had done it today it would probably have been different, with experience and time you become more skilled. But I hope you like it! Love.

Jag har aldrig drömt om att bli en ballerina, enligt mig är jag precis lika smidig som ett kylskåp. Men det hindrar mig inte från att njuta av att se andra dansa.
Detta fotografi hänger på min vägg i mitt sovrum. Jag tycker det är en otroligt vacker bild. Den är tagen av Alfred Eisenstaedt under en repetition för Svansjön på Grand Opera de Paris.
Jag delar också med mig av ett gammalt skolprojekt som jag gjorde för sex år sedan. Det är ett självporträtt i lera. Om jag hade gjort det i dag skulle det förmodligen ha varit annorlunda, med erfarenhet och tid blir man skickligare. Men jag hoppas ni gillar det! Kärlek.

  4. When I was a kid I wasn't interested in ballet, my true love was piano. But nowdays every now and then I feel kinda sorry that I never tried dancing, ballet is so beautiful, I love watching it.

    1. Oh, piano is one of my favotrie instruments, I played two years as a kid. But I'm no good. I sing a bit (at weddings for exemple)and music is a lot of fun.

      But it's never to late trying (or maybe ballet, but there are a lots of other fantastic dances you could learn) :)))

  9. I used to go to the ballet lessons when I was small, but I feel the same about my dance moves as you about yours :D I love such photographs and paintings - Degas´s for example. You are so talented, it´s amazing ;) Have a nice rest of the Sunday :)
