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.

CHRISTO | BIG AIR PACKAGE

This weekend I went to 'Big Air Package' by Christo in the Gasometer in Oberhausen, Germany. Years back in high school I wrote a report in art history class about him.
I am intrigued by his big projects, they invite you to perceive a normal environment from a different perspective: They make me feel little and vulnerable, but this vulnerability is also applicable to the object itself.
I like that Christo and Jeanne-Claude (His wife, unfortunately she passed away in 2009) organise these big projects with a large group of people and continue no matter how many difficulties they come across.

FOREST

We went for a walk in the forest.

AUTUMN

Autumn has arrived. Have been enjoying the beautiful colours that come along with this season; the soft sunsets and the warm coloured leafs all around. Unfortunately due to heavy storms I had to take off the crate from my bike and am now forced to come up with creative ideas for taking home the groceries.

I found these old reversal films in a second hand shop, I'm thinking of turning them into a little project for my Etsy shop.

DIY TEXTILE CABLE

Lately I tend to forget about my textile projects like the winter jacket. That's why I decided to give them a place in my little room where I can see them; a sort of laundry line made from braided steel wire. You can easily get a braided steel wire and hooks at the DIY shop.

This afternoon I visited my parents in Nijmegen (a little old town in Holland). We went for a bike ride through the city and came across this cosy little coffee bar with all kinds of different seats and tables. The coffee bar even has a furry regular guest; Bert the big red cat.

BITS AND PIECES

Lots of stuff has been going on lately:
- I planted some herbal plants, Coriander, Basil and Mint.
- A little trip to Antwerp with my friends.
- Helped my sister moving to Maastricht ( a lovely city in the very South of the Netherlands).
- Enjoyed the beautiful sunlight during a train trip in the late afternoon.

Besides I received my Master of Science diploma in Industrial Design and I got a one-month-job at a design company in Eindhoven last week!

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!
