Some of my objectives are...

... finding a convenient arrangement for my boxes
and stuff; I feel stressed by too much junk;
boxes full of textiles, wools, papers, trash and stuff
that only needs a finishing touch.
It is hard to decide what to do first :-(
So...




...my plan is to complete one cushion a week, do you
remember this one?
I still have three to go :-)
And than...




... I hope to get my mind free so I can continue my
' Age of Discovery' and 'Wormhole' projects :-)
That's my plan.

Tomorrow I will start with the redecoration of my
new home, the moving will be half May I guess :-)




Atelier of Tomie Ohtake.

The Indian in the Cupboard.

'The Indian in the Cupboard';
I've got this tip from Lovely World & Rebecca :-)

Look here for the trailer.

The Studio, a brown story.

I'm running a small film studio :
'tea box home cinéma'...



... for it is built from an old tea box and some
papertrash.




Little Joe helped me with the heavy stuff, such as
pulling down some walls and ceilings and...




... installing the struts, so the whole construction
will keep upright.



I was taking care for the finishing touch and the 'looks' :-)

My speciality will be documentaries, and maybe now
and then a remake of an old classic, such as
'Gone with the Wind'
We'll see ...


Tonight we have a guest: please have a look!

Goodnight and sweet dreams :-)

Sunday.

I was planting Alessandra's seeds today.
(with the help of an expert:-)




Dried petals.





New cushion.





And I got a Sunshine Award from Natsumi :-)
Thank you so much!

The walled garden.

I made these pictures last night, just for the fun,
I had no intention to post them on this blog; I do it
quite often, a few shots before sleeping;
in general they turn out very bad because of the
artificial light, so, most of the time I remove these
late night shots immediately.
But these have a certain atmosphere, also
because of the heavy shadows, actually I like them :)
I've got the Nara postcardbook from a friend,
the title is : 'oh! my god! I miss you.'

The mysterious black hole is a lithograph from the time
I was an art student, long time ago then.
No need to say I feel less dark nowadays, so I
baptized the hole ' Walled Garden' :-)

Have a nice weekend!

Easter Eggs, part two.

I missed the Egg-part of family Eastersunday cause
I was invited at the most wonderful Easter breakfast ever!

These photos are taken by Willy; the first one
looks pretty much Kusturica, don't you think :-)








Billie & Julian.

Easter 1962.

1962 was likely our very first Easter after my
parents moved into their new house; you can
see on the first image there was hardly any green
area yet and I wonder where my folks could have
hided our eggs!
Needless to say my sister and I didn't like the
photoshoot :-)
The white object on our Eastertable was a plastic
basket, containing the eggs I guess, I also remember our
soft yellow dresses.
The newborn baby is my brother; my dad is hanging
out the diapers while we have photoshoot on the meadow.

Happy Easter everybody.

All Fools' Day.

This is not an April Fools' joke :-), I got that fortune
cookie from Mieke some weeks ago, but I waited
till today to bring this message into the open, I
want it to work!
But I'm not complaining, I had a fine day, apart
from the fact that I felt a bit flu-ish.
The grey cushion is my favourite so far, love these
bright colors on the soft greenish-grey ground,
the yellow spot is almost fluo and the green in
the middle is metallic like a beetle, too bad that
I couln't catch the right colours, maybe i should buy
a solid camera instead of my automatic toy, or
learn photoshop...

I was also working on another yellow one, hope

to finish it before the weekend.

By the way, I can be madly in love with my table

sometimes :-)

Happy April everybody!
