Going to..

I am going to take a little break, a holiday break :p I am going to relax in Spain. I'll be back in September. I have a few things up in September. First is the Young Masters at Auction the 3,4,5 and 6th of august at Prins Hendrikkade 33 at Amsterdam. You can find my work and work from other artists in the catalogue here.
The real auction is on the 6th of august from 15:00.

I am also going to fix some little job things.
And Don't forget to go to the Plastique Fantastique Craftymarkt the 20th of september. You can see my work and also the work of lots of other artists. You'll receive a goodiebag if you spend 10euro at any shop! On the picture you see some of mine. I also made two sewing jars for the craftymarkt. It is all about recycling so I recycled some soupjars and made them into sewing jars. You can put your sewing supplies in the jar and collect your pins on the pincushion on top of it.
In the meantime you can visit my shop and Etsy shop. All items will ship after the 3th of august because of my vacation.

things I have been doing

What a week. I have a lot of projects going on in my creative space. I have won the fabric of the week contest and I am still very excited. I ordered the five yards of fabric and I hope it will be here this/next week. I ordered two new patterns =)
I have also made a few new things for the shop. Some brooches, bags and I am working on some pouches/clutches. (I have to make some good photo's of the new bags) I am planning to participate in a crafty markt in September so I am also making a few cute packages.

My sister got a new mobile phone so I made her a branch new phone case. See the picture.

I will add the new items this week.
Bye bye!

New Fabric

After I received my own designed fabric from spoonflower I was very curious how my other patterns will turn out on fabric so I ordered 1yard of each of my dandelion designs.
I know it takes a few weeks to arrive but I can't wait to see them!

I also ordered some ginko earrings at strawberryforest They have sale. So very good prices ;).

Here a preview of the patterns (click to enlarge)

My new fabric!!

Yay! I just got my 3inch of fabric in the mail and I am sooooo happy with it!! it is very beautiful and so great that I can make some cool stuff with my own designed fabric. woohoo!!!
Here are some pictures and soon I am going to make some lovely things.

Doll Illustrations

A few months ago I made fabric friend dolls of myself and my best friend Merie. I thought it would be cool to make some illustrations of it. Before this project I never worked with illustrator so this is a complete new world for me. I also have experimented with the background. I really like the texture of rough wood.
