I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I too can loose my temper an I am not always as patient as I could be.<br /><br />Anja is the real patient person in this story. If it had been my work of art that had been vandalised I would have thrown a fit. Anja just accepted the fact and made a real cool statement in the newspaper about it.<br /> Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-17497305765734655032013-06-27T04:45:27.634-07:002013-06-27T04:45:27.634-07:00I've never met Jonas, but in my mind he isn...I've never met Jonas, but in my mind he isn't completely human! He is more like a mythical being that waves a wand and creates beautiful woodworking projects with little effort. And I mean that very much as a compliment.<br /><br />All kidding aside, I believe that Jonas is a person who has been gifted with intelligence, skilled hands, and most importantly, patience. I can say that just because of the way he built his sea chest. I like to think that I'm smart and skilled with my hands, but I have little patience. So I will keep looking to Jonas and others like him for inspiration and the hope that I will gain patience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-66246545102058146542013-06-27T01:18:52.944-07:002013-06-27T01:18:52.944-07:00uh ... people who don't know me could think th...uh ... people who don't know me could think that I was being sarcastic and in that remark ... believe me, I am not. Actually I am sort of bad at irony - which is a problem in Denmark where irony and sarcasm is the backbone of danish humour. What I do like and try to do is to grow and nourish dreams, wellbeing and the right and will to do good and feel goooood!<br />So just to clearify: I DO think very highly of Jonas and his work. I AM very gratefull that he has chosen to spend valuable time in this project. The other day I was at Jonas' and he turned on the (very big and even more noisy) mule saw - and must say that it scares me quite a bit... But the end result is by far worth the noise!<br /><br />I look very much forward to let my brushes dance around the new door.<br /><br />And now I will leave you Guys to manly talk about Wood Work and big noisy machinery ... which I admit to know absolutely nothing about and can't contribute to!<br /><br />// AnjaAnjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300382612776625080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-50697101610789328902013-06-25T05:26:28.928-07:002013-06-25T05:26:28.928-07:00Oh yes thats right - I forgot - Of course he has!!...Oh yes thats right - I forgot - Of course he has!!!

Perhaps it could count as "saving a supermodel from drowning"...?!<br /><br />The door was a double door, on the outside a big church-bell was visible from a distance. And when one opened the door one would see that hidden in the little space between doors - on the inside - a girl sat quietly and in silence ... waiting for her soul to settle in. (a closer view at her can be seen here ( http://levilykke.dk/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/stilhed01.jpg )<br />In this moment though she is in between worlds. But soon - with the help of you Jonas - she will reappear! <br />Can't wait to introduce her to the world again, and hopefully she will have a longer life in the second round <3<br /><br />//AnjaAnjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300382612776625080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-37613570589588476392013-06-24T13:55:05.670-07:002013-06-24T13:55:05.670-07:00You have served in the military.

It's a good thing that you are doing, though. I'll tell you what, you are setting the bar rather high: Expert Woodworker, metalsmith, farmer, carpenter, engineer, sailer, father, husband, and now philanthropist. Now all you need to do is save a supermodel from drowning and become an astronaut and nobody will ever be able to match you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-8470460306451644502013-06-24T08:08:32.741-07:002013-06-24T08:08:32.741-07:00Is there a picture of the piece before it was brok...Is there a picture of the piece before it was broken up?

But it still sucks.<br />The good thing is that the artist (Anja) is really cool about it. She commented it in the local newspaper stating that other peoples silence could be provocative to some and at least they had silenced her piece of art thoroughly. <br />She told me that when we will resurrect this door she will get the paper to take some pictures and we will make a happening. So she might end up getting more publicity out of it that way.<br />I hope to start on the door itself today.Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-58371102313646215702013-06-23T23:23:27.552-07:002013-06-23T23:23:27.552-07:00How sad.
