A mixed lot, 13

Hello everyone,
I haven't had the time yet to take
any pictures of the things I'm working on, so I post this
mixed lot 13; these are all pictures from inside and outsite
my home.

I've bought the hedgehog brush last week;
saw it at mieke's place :)
The woven sample is mine, however,
can't remember the technique.

Good Night!

I got a special post on Designskool,
thank you so much Justine!
and thanks all for the nice words on my previous post :^)

A mixed lot, part 9

I suddenly felt like posting 'something', so I took some pictures
of the past months; it's become a rather minimalist series :^)

I went to see some of Maya Deren's experimental films;
I liked 'Ritual in Transfigured Time' the most.

Millefleurs & more treasures.

For some time I've planned to make a series of embroideries
on the theme 'Gardens', inspired by the famous millefleurs
tapestries - meaning thousand flowers - which were woven here
in Flanders in the Middle Ages.
The best known and also my favourite are the
' Lady and the Unicorn' tapestries in the Museé de Cluny in Paris,
really wonderful!

But so far, this project's only a fantasy, something for later, when
I will have oceans of time, maybe :)
So, in the meantime, I've made this temporary Thousand Flowers carpet,
or better Trash Carpet from the treasures I've found on my walks
or here at my house, including a core of a pear and a plum stone.
And after this playtime, I trew everything in a bowl and then in
the dustbin.
End.






note: Mille Fleur is also a breed of Belgian chicken :^)
and the best bay boletes have the size of a champagne cork!





Goodnight & Sweet Dreams :)

My treasures.

This is a small selection of twigs and seeds that I've brought
home from my walks: thistle fluffs, a plane tree seed pod,
a bunch of ash seeds and one pod I can't put a name on;
the tiny seeds are hairy with barbs.
The third picture was taken from my terrace, the handwoven
piece of cloth is as far as I can remember honeysuckle :)
I'm not joking, look here!
More treasures in another post.

In the mailbox.

Something tremendous has happened by
Rhiannon Silver in the mailbox today,
wow.
you probably already know her inspiring blog
Intelligent Clashing, definitely one of my favorites!

The honeycomb cardboard weavings
remind me a bit of the texture and soft colours
of the ceramic basket, one of the images in the
paper; would love to have
that basket on my buffet by the way :^)

Need to fix Arthur's head.




Finally some sunshine today!

More cardboard weavings here.

The Blue Path.

Thank you everybody for the nice responses,
it really feels good to get all this feedback :)

Finally here's the second part of The Blue Path;
ironically the work is about a quest, getting lost and
darkening, ha!
I included two eclipses, the one below and the one
on picture 6;
The picture above is a boat surrounded
by St. Elmo's Fire





Reverse of the Three Golden Fleeces.



St. Elmo's Fire.

And I've put some more on my flickr pages.

Have a nice weekend everybody and thanks again!

The catalogue.

The catalogue arrived this morning :^)
Boro work pants in the second picture.









Finally some photo's of my work - which has never
arrived at it's destination so, I suppose it got
lost; luckily I took these pictures before sending
the parcel; you can double-click and have a closer
look, I left them in the original size.
The work is calling 'The Blue Path'

Have a look here, in case you like to order the catalogue

more pictures to come.
Goodnight :)
