Realism or what is art? - Naulis Flickr Favourites

 1. Clouds/Plane/Blue Sky by Cubagallery, 2. Painting.Yellow Shirt by Remus Grecu, 

3. Rick by Javier Agredo, 4. Ron Mueck in Melbourne by Arul Baskaran

Yesterday we went to an exhibition in Hypo Kunsthalle, Munich. Theme is "Realismus - Das Abenteuer der Wirklichkeit" - "Realism - the Adventure of Reality". 

What's art? Is it our eye which turns something into art? Does art have to be manmade? Is it our hands work? Can it be the copy of nature? 

What do you think?

A Day at the Zoo or the last sunny summerday? - Nauli´s Monday Mood Board

We wanted to visit the zoo of Munich.. we have not been there since ages.

We decided to go last thursday, because the weather forecast said it was the last sunny day befor it will start to rain again. 

We were not the only ones who wanted to enjoy the last sunny summerday in the zoo, there were a long long queue when we arrived, but we were lucky, they opend two other ticket offices when so we did not have to wait tooooo long to get in. 

We had blue sky.

Well we did not see striped pigs but deers, tigers, zebras and many other exotic animals...

1. Deer by Antoksfairytales 2. Tiger by Vadjutka 3. Zebra by Mysticfibers 4.Striped Pig by MissusD

Some of them tried to hide ... succsessfull

But the pinguines could not.. and we guess they enjoyed the coldness in their cage on this hot late summerday.

Fleamarkets or our Trip to Netherlands - Flickr Favourites

Last week we have been in the Netherlands for a weekend. It was a quiet short trip for 2 days. But we were lucky, it was a sunny weekend and it was the weekend of Fleamarkets in Delft and Den Haag, the cities we visited. We love fleamarkets since we are little girls. Compained our parents selling at fleamarkets and started to open a booth in front of the house when we were little kids. We loved selling and buying and started to collect unique and vintage stuff. 

We collected old tins, old leather suitcases, ceramic and so on. May be the colorful patterns of the Inselbüchlein covers made us loving this kind of classic pattern we are using for our nauli-paper products now. 

 1. Fleamarket at Arkonaplatz, 2. Fleamarket at Heden, 3. Fleamarket Date, 4. Book Market Humboldt University

Even on the way to the Escher Museum in Den Haag, we jumped out of the Tram to walk around a small Fleamarket. But this time we did not shop at all, even there were many beautiful things wanted to be bought. But we feel like we have to sell some of our collections first to make space for new old things.

Nun aber die besten zu erst...

Und unser Sortiment an Leporellos, CD Hüllen, Fotoalben, Adressbüchern, Skizzenbüchern, Fächermappen und Knöpfen

Friday Favourites - Leaves

It's Friday again. Time to post our Friday Favourite netfound.
The winner is...

Absolutely adorable Paper Art by Owen Gildersleeve

Colorful leaves look just like real ones. 

Because we can't do anything against it: Autumn is coming with it colourful leaves. This summer was a short one in Southern Germany. Short and hot, some weeks ago fall started to show its power with heavy rain falls for weeks. We took the rain and tried to work as much as possible. Everyday we feel lucky that we work with colorful materials. 

Fall is full of reds and browns... Colorful, yes, but we would love to have some turquoise and violet, too...

No bad hair day or Curly Sue - Nauli's Flickr Favourites

Well, our hair is straight, so straight like nothing else, and just like every girl in this world we had the dream of curly hair in our life. We still remember, when we tried to help each other with paper papilottes ...  but our hair never hold the curlies for more than 3 hours...

Nun, unsere Haare sind glatt und so gerade wie ein Bleistift, aber wie alle Mädchen hatten wir Zeiten, zu denen wir von Locken träumten... Wir erinnern uns noch an den Spaß als wir mit Zeitungspapier-Papilotten unser Glück versuchten ... aber bei unseren Haare haben die Locken nie länger als 3 Stunden gehalten...

1. I stole some curls ;-), 2. 019 - Brown Top Sausage Curls Boa, 3. braided, curled ponytail, 4. naturally curly

We love this red kissing lips... and printed them on two brand new Nauli cd cases
