The pincushions, work in progress.

Japanese motifs, part two

A day in the forest.

Sunday brainsnack.

I had again a lazy sunday, almost the whole after-
noon on my behind :-), drinking tea & listening
to some crazy stories, i'm afraid this is my favou-
rite pastime. No time for blogging.
So, this is the challenge: choose the right base
for the cube.
( to K. : you were wrong. )

The pincushions.

I'm working on the pincushion series, this was
the easy & fun part. I was trying to create
the atmosphere of a small fishing village by
using simple geometric shapes and primary colours.
I hope you can hear the seagulls and the distant
voices of the fisherman by looking at these.

Time for the reverse and filling now.

Hope to have them finished soon :-)

Le Bonheur des Dames.

I have a friend who's responsable for the textile
department of the Breda's Museum, so, for her
work she has to travel abroad quite often.
She surprised me the other day with these cute
leather thimbles from 'Le Bonheur des Dames' ,
purchased when she was in Paris.
They remind me of some kind of prosthesis,
Love that pink & skin and the two green dots.
I also got from her a box full of yarns, i'm well
provided now. Sorted out the skin & pink tones
for the fotoshoot.





From an old issue of '100 idees' .

Not yet finished blouse with application and

embroidery. ( that is for later :-)

Lazy Sunday.

I was a guest at villa 'Rust na Arbeid',

wat means 'Rest after Labour' :-), this slogan

might have been written for me, for i was sitting

on my backside all through the day.

Hope you had a nice sunday too .

Paper boats and other small vessels.

This work is not really taking part of the 'Age
of Discovery' series. I'm regarding this more
as a trying out for the pincushion series to come,
i think the colour combination is ok.
I was having Jacques Tati's 'Les vacances de Mr.
Hulot' in mind, an incredible funny movie.
Hope you're having fun too :-)

Thanks everybody for the nice comments on

the previous post, it is really cheering on. :-)
