The “wisdom puzzle“ or Tangram is a puzzle that originally came from China. I’ve been fascinated by this seemingly simple game that can be used for so much. Even the great Edgar Allan Poe was intrigued by it. The puzzle consists of seven pieces of specifically cut out parts of a square that can be formed into practically any figure. Sometimes Tangram is described as a puzzle for children and I am sure that a lot of adults find this puzzle as intriguing as I do

• or the game part of it
• or you can use tangram for your creative needs

I felt so proud when I created my first own model. To be honest, I’ve only created that one, but I’m sure I’ll make more now when I’ve started. This is my butterfly, or maybe I should call it Imago. :)

My book is now for sale. Well, actually it isn't really my book, but it certainly feels that way. I've been a part of it since the very beginning - deciding on the name, the order of the stories and poems, details about marketing, editing the texts and choosing the cover image. And after all, it is the first time I'll see my writing is print. So far I've only seen a copy for editing, but it looked the same as the finished book will. It's available on at least four sites online. I noticed it today for the first time and it gave me a real thrill. My book is out now. :)

As some of you might have noticed, I now have a couple of original images here on Vox. Hopefully, there will be more later.

I won't be blogging here for a while. Right now, I'm on sick leave and I need to take it easy for a while. Later, there might be a real blog here, but at the moment I can't say when that will be. I will probably post photos, graphics etc, but that too will be a bit later. In the meantime, I'm glad to be here. I will explore the site and try to get the hang of it.
