70 years young
This is my mother. She´s the best and wisest mum anyone could wish for, and today is her 70th birthday!
The making of this little booklet for her (above is the front and one of the images inside) is the reason for the lack of posts here lately. My right hand is seriously itching for some proper drawing now, so I´ll be back with some drawing posts soon!
15 x 21,5 cm, Copic airbrush system and many many handcut stencils on Saunders Waterford watercolour paper.






Happy Birthday to your mum! (I’m only eight years older than she is) Looking forward to your new drawing posts!!!!!
OMG! beautiful artwork, thanks for sharing! You sure know how to cut stencils!
Very beautiful – the method looks awfully complicated!
Your mum must be very proud of her talented daughter. Happy Birthday to her and kudos to you for such a thoughtful gift. I’m sure she will adore it.

A very happy birthday to your mum. The gift of a Treasure from your daughter is just perfect when 70 years has been gathered in a life. Well done.
Wow. It would be interesting to see your process on these. My mind instantly went to, “how did she do that?” Very nice! And happy birthday to your mom!
These pictures are lovely, I bet your mum is thrilled with her gift! Beautiful idea…
Happy Birthday to your mom, and congratulations on the unique gift for her! That’s really special! I just turned 72 at the beginning of this month. It’s a great age to be!
What a wonderful gift for your mum. I would love a booklet from my daughter. She and her kids make me pictures at times and I adore them. I’m sure your mother will be very happy.
This is such a lovely gift and so beautifully done! I’m sure she loved it!
Thank you, thank you! My mum says to tell you all thanks for your good wishes, and adds that she is indeed very proud of her daughter. I think we´ll have to join the mutual admiration society…
Åh vilkn trevlig idé jag blir inspirerad till tusen av dig!
Hoppas få se mer av boken =)
Kul att du inspireras! Jag hade tänkt scanna hela boken, men det hann jag inte. Får se om det kan bli längre fram…
Helt fantastiskt! Jag säger som Karin, jag blir otroligt inspirerad och vill se mer! Ser också fram emot dina kommande teckningsalster!
Lovely work Nina, I particularly like the ‘Young Mum’ image where she looks like Eva Peron! She must have been thrilled and also proud to have such a talented daughter!
Grymt fina Nina – lär mig!
I’ve followed you to your new site. Happy belated Birthday to your mom. I’m sure she really enjoyed her present.
