Henrie(tte) says hello!

[Henrie]

Let me start by introducing myself properly:
I live in the Danish countryside and share my house with one mother, two dogs, two cats, and some dust bunnies (don‘t ask me to count them). I make my living as a crossword puzzle constructor.

I have absolutely no artistic training. I started drawing about a year ago and picked up my first colored pencil last summer after seeing some beautiful cp works, done by some of you, on the internet. I am - maybe forever - at the “things can only get better”-level and in no position to offer advice or constructive criticism, but I am able to express my admiration.

I am so happy to see all of you! :clap: :) :clap:

Hello, Henri!

A crossword puzzle constructor? I guess I never thought about someone having to make crossword puzzles. Do have special resources that you use? This is so interesting!

[Greg]

Hi Henriette. It's good to see you. I've never forgotten the nice things you said about the first picture I posted. I'm glad your here.

[Henrie]

Hi Brenda,

Funny, you don’t look like a “gramma” :) .

Well, I have a computer programme where I can search for words, which fit the construction. Apart from that, my most important resource is a TV-guide (for inspiration). Naturally, I also use encyclopaedias, dictionaries, the Internet, and sometimes even my brain :rolleyes: . Scandinavian crosswords are different from the ones you have in the U.S. - we usually put the clues inside the squares(?) and we also use photographs and cartoons as clues. I can’t show you any of the puzzles I make without violating the copyright of the company I work for, but this will give you an idea of what I‘m trying to explain: http://www.crosswordeurope.com/samples.html

Hi Greg,

:blushing: :) Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m glad you’re here too! I noticed you posted a new drawing and I plan to say something nice about that tomorrow. Right now I am going to bed - even night owls need to sleep.

Henriette :bye1:

Crossword puzzel constuctor? way cool!!!! Hey henrie, how about a painting of a crossworkd puzzel half completed? too cool!

I'm wonderin though, if my dust bunnies are related to yours? :D

[Henrie]

Ha, I love the doodler status! :D

Thanks, Arlene and Ali! I tend to focus on the weaknesses to find out what I need to work on. And, Ali, I hope you soon get a positive effect from that nasty treatment.

Hi, Della! I look forward to seeing some of your work too!

TJ - when I used the word “abandoned” nothing made any sense to me - it still doesn’t, but at least I now know what happened. :mad:
A half completed crossword… hmm, I think I know what was missing from the still life I tried to set up.
If your dust bunnies multiply like crazy, they must be related to mine.

I'm off to explore this great site!
