GOOD NEWS

Over the past couple of months I’ve been a bit disorganized in placing my adventures and thoughts on this blog. Ever since graduating my Masters in Industrial Design I’ve had a chaotic experience in finding a job whilst continuing the other things in daily life. I worked at a little shop for a couple of weeks during summer after which I got a temporary job at a design agency. This asked some flexibility from me and that resulted in not having my stuff for Etsy, this blog and some other things organized.

But, I can happily say that from now on I will be working for four days a week at the design agency, which is amazing! Moreover this will give me some structure and time to work on the blog and Etsy. So starting from now I will try to weekly post something about my daily life or the shop. And hopefully will be able to add some new products to my shop. Just started on a new project as you can see.

SHOP | FILM SLIDE NECKLACES

New item in shop: Film Slide Necklaces! 

Some time ago I found these old film slides in a second-hand shop in Antwerp, Belgium. I turned them into necklaces. The slides show pictures of day-to-day life, holidays and special occasions of families that I never met. It allows you to imagine what the story behind the picture could be. I like that, creating your own imaginary story.

RE-OPENED THE SHOP

After this beautiful summer I re-opened the shop. As you can see the assortment is rather small. My head is full of new ideas for designs. I hope to have them in shop soon, however it's been busy around here so it will probably take some time!

TREASURY

|

About two weeks ago I discovered Etsy's Treasuries; diverse Etsy-shops' products collected around a theme in a beautiful overview. I decided to try it out myself. Above you can see my first four Treasuries: 01 | WINTER, 02 | ECO-FRIENDLY, 03 | VALENTINE and 04 | UNDISCOVERED. I really love to collect products of various Etsy-shops and combine them in a beautiful overview. It is inspiring for my own projects and a nice way to browse through the Etsy website.

TEALIGHT JARS

The other day I made these little cute tealight jars.

The jars used to contain organic yoghurt, yummy! I bought the jars in Antwerp a few years ago when I lived there (I was on an internship for a couple of months). I cut straps out of a white cotton textile with a Dutch Delft print and wrapped them around the jars as a band. The light of the candles shines beautifully through the textile!

Currently I'm thinking about adding the tealight to my Etsy-shop. However, I still have to find a way to pack the Tealight jars for shipping. Have a nice week.

DOUBLE-SIDED

Today I updated my Shop on Etsy. I added a new design which I finished yesterday: “Laptop Sleeve Brown Soft Wool Vs. Flowery Grey” The brown wool is so nice & soft and it matches perfectly with the grey floral pattern, I love it!

As you can see you can choose which side to show by turning the sleeve inside-out and the other way around. I also took new pictures of the other designs to show the double-sided option of each design. 

The Dutch Delft Blue can also be turned inside-out to show the Plain Blue side. 

And the Tanzanian Pink has a beautiful clean Off-White Cotton side! Hope you like it as well.

Have a nice weekend, Liefs! 

RAINY SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Holland knows a lot of rainy Sunday afternoons, just like this Sunday. So what better to do than to stay in and to create a new sleeve design! The sleeve will soon be finished and added to my shop. Hope you've had a good weekend as well.

Liefs!

A NEW LAPTOP SLEEVE

Today I added a new Laptop Sleeve to my Etsy Shop: the Dutch Delft Blue Sleeve. Just like the Tanzanian Pink Sleeve I can make it into any size you like. From now on my sleeves are also available for an iPad!

Furthermore I went to the market the other day where I found these inspiring textiles. Maybe I will use them in one of my future designs.

WELCOME!

Hee! And Welcome to my first blogpost.

Finally after some time and effort I was able to open my very own Etsy-shop: JulieHornix. Now it’s just a small shop with my first listing, the Tanzanian Pink Batik Laptop Sleeve. But it will continue to grow with more designs of laptop sleeves and probably other stuff! I hope you like it, I will keep you posted.

I will also show and tell about my daily experiences. When I am not busy with Etsy or finishing my Master degree in Industrial Design I like to cook for friends, sew other things or go on little trips to explore the world!

Liefs!
