Has Aurora ever stated that she did the gold and petals in these image's?

I clearly remember doing the sun-face and torso in the first one. I remember the crumb from my pb&j that caught the pen on the bottom center ray causing a wobble and needing an extra line. I remember smudging off some blackberry jam you can still see a bit of. I remember almost tearing it out completely to crumple and toss before leaving it and taping the tear.

I only have vague maybe memory of the second image.

I sold the note book with some art supplies in a black plastic toolbox at a yard sale to a blonde kid. The little customer conversation about it was it's sold for doing collage type stuff. Took all the money they had, think it was 17 or 18 cents.

Be super neat to hear about the process it went through to end up in a book. I've only seen images of the book online, but the first image is the only thing that really made me go 'I know that piece and this is how it went down'.

Oh, the notebook is one of those black and white composition ones, I scraped the name off pretty good I think. But if they still have the original of the first image and they flipped it over you will be able to see my lines push through the paper fairly strongly, even tearing a bit on the boobs. I push down too hard when I draw. I didn't do the gold or petals or the smaller gold stars, whodunit?

Guys, Is this correct? Because that implies a tenfold increase over the usual daily streams—with some tracks suddenly hitting over a million daily streams. A few comparisons with Spotify's own data suggest it is accurate, or is Qworb actually wrong?

An AURORA lyric I thought was fitting + Cease Fire Now!!

I’m so hyped to finally have my hands on the Juleroser CD. It’s a rather underrated and under-appreciated AURORA collaboration with Norwegian folk singer and actress, Herborg Kråkevik.

I believe AURORA contributed vocals to 3 of the tracks and one of them she wrote herself and that is “Vinterens Gåte”

This song has always struck me as one of her most beautiful works with extremely lush orchestral strings and her ethereal voice floating over it at all.

The album is a Christmas album, featuring a variety of Norwegian Christmas songs recorded with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra.

Sadly it never got a worldwide digital release. From my understanding you can only stream it if you live within Norway. It doesn’t appear to be available anywhere else. The only way I was able to listen to tracks featuring AURORA was on YouTube.

However I feel super lucky because I was on Discogs and searched up this album to find that actually several sellers had it available. I picked the one that would have the most favorable shipping for me and ordered it without hesitation so that I could forever own these rather unknown AURORA songs.

The digipack is in pretty good condition. The cardboard has some slight fraying which is to be expected as it had to travel to a different country to reach me. The plastic part that holds the CD did chip a bit at the top right corner so I just taped the fallen piece back on. Personally I don’t mind these things at all because the beautiful CD arrived in mint condition without any scratches and the liner notes (little booklet) was also in perfect condition. I’m happy it’s got all the lyrics because my Norwegian is pretty rusty so I doubt I’d be able to pick up the lyrics just by listening that well.

Anyways, I think a lot of AURORA physical media collectors forget this album exists. It’s a super cool and honestly rare addition to any AURORA collection imo. It’s actually my first CD with AURORA in it 😅 I’m super new to this collecting thing but I digress.

All that being said, I figured I’d show you guys what the contents look like because I rarely see anyone talking about this release. Let me know what you think and if you have this album too! I’m curious!
