I might not always finish what I start, but it's nice to know that I often have good starts.

I'm learning this woodturning thing and it is more fun than I ever thought. This was once a block of wood! I created something useful! #woodturning #lathework #woodturner #woodturnersofinstagram #woodworkersoftheworldunite (at Florence, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_z2WHgUXE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lh6jm7yty11

Is it Neptune? I finally had some time to sketch today. Even though I could only find one piece of paper. Just a fun moustached fountain somewhere on Rue de Montmartre in Paris. #sketchmorethannot #sketchbook #carnetdecroquis #sketch #fountain #neptune #moustacheelf #paris #fountainsofparis #cecinestpasunecigarette #lartdeparis #paris🗼 #fabercastell (à Montmartre)

I found a guy selling a working Voigtländer out of his garage. I can't believe it. Film life: I'm back. And so happy about it. I've been searching for one with a working meter for as long as I've lived in Berlin. So celebrate with me, Instagram! #ishootfilm #voigtländer #rangefindercamera #35mm #vitomatic #westgermany #analogphotography #analogue (à Berlin, Germany)

It doesn't just look like a fairytale, it's apparently where German fairytales are set. The Harz Mountains are full of witchcraft and magic and I am all about it. The raven on the side of the building delights me to no end. Also it's like the 5th place we've been that claims to have invented gingerbread. #quedlinburg #quedlinburggermany #deutschland #hexen #hexenhaus #witch #germanfairytale #fairytale #saxony #harz (à Quedlinburg)

There's a beautiful, old, overgrown cemetery here in Berlin with a sad history of destruction. The past has been unkind, but now it's a peaceful place hidden away from the loud city centre. And I forgot to bring a pen. #cemetery #berlin #schönhauserallee #prenzlberg #senefelderplatz #tombs #graveyard #friedhof #friedhofsfotografie #кладбище #могила #берлин #немецкий #cimetiere (à Jüd.

I redrew my "loving the alien" sketch in colour but I can't say it's a favourite. I love the cosmic colours in the background though. #drawing #inktense #jesszaikova #derwent (à Berlin, Germany)
